The Gymkhana Files (2018) s01e06 Episode Script
On Thin Ice
1
- It's really important
when building viral content
that you hook the
viewer immediately.
It's Gymkhana 10.
Maybe we've watched
a couple before.
We have high expectations
of what you're gonna get.
It starts, you get a
quick little glimpse of
what's going on,
like we got five
different locations,
and you're gonna
kind of feel this
in the way we do the launch,
and then all of a sudden
(intense music)
Here you are on ice.
And in your head you're like,
ooh, it's ice?
That's something completely new.
I haven't seen them
do it on snow before.
This has to be good,
because if this doesn't
hook you in the beginning,
then you're out.
We get accused often of, like,
it's the same old shit
every time, right?
So this is our attempt
to try and to make it
not the same old shit.
But, I don't know if this is
the right way of going about it
'cause, like,
there's a lot of bands,
and I'm like, man, it's the
same old shit all the time,
and then they do a
fucking EDM album,
and I'm like, fuck you, that's
not what I wanted you to do.
I just wanted you
to stay punk rock.
Maybe this could be
our EDM album.
And there's extra pressure
on this segment,
'cause it's first up
in the film.
I love that these boys
just go about it like
this is just totally normal,
just like another day
of winter in Sweden.
Oh, we're moving.
Translating what we've done,
and what we've been so
successful of doing on pavement,
and now doing that on ice.
Does the car have
that same energy?
One of things where I can
picture it all in my head,
but this whole game is
taking my picture in my head
and actually making
that a reality on film.
I just kinda wanna see,
like, yeah, if it
I think it'll actually deflect
less when it's spinning.
I actually, like,
got out and, like,
drove some sections of this
in the rental car,
like, I normally
wouldn't do that.
I normally can kinda sit
and look at it and say,
okay, yeah,
that makes sense.
Knowing that there's so many
variables with Sweden really,
I couldn't just depend on the
art team getting this right.
- [Man] Whoa!
- I think the main thing is,
as long as he
kinda comes off semi straight
- [Matthew] Yeah,
he'll be fine.
- Or at least steering
into the edge,
so that he doesn't like.
- But I guess if you're going,
like, 60 miles an hour,
then it's a hell of a lot
of a difference, right?
I think he would.
(laughing)
- [Matthew] That was
such a mellow hit!
- It was all good
until Matthew got in.
- [Matthew]
Yeah, I'm bad luck.
- Just threw it off.
- [Matthew] Uh, yeah.
- [Brian] Yeah,
find the muzzlers,
we hit there so slow.
This thing is nowhere near
as fun as Ken's cars.
(upbeat music)
Ken's always kind
of had this thing
with, like, snow in his life.
That's why he
moved to Park City,
'cause he loves the mountains
and snow and stuff like that.
And when he did his first
rally, with proper studs,
back in 2011,
to go see Sweden.
- That experience really
kind of woke me up
to the idea of how much
grip you could have
on the snow and ice,
with that sort of tire.
There's more grip,
like, on a snowy, icy road
with those tires,
than we would have on gravel
with our gravel tires.
And that's just insane to me.
Now here we go again.
(laughs)
- I was, like, oh, wow,
we should do
a Gymkhana on ice.
That's really fucking cool.
- But the biggest problem
with that idea, though,
is really cost,
because the weather is
so unpredictable.
So if you fly 50 people
over to make this video,
you could literally
spend a lot of money,
and get nothing.
- It's rare that
we go somewhere,
and it's actually better than
the thought in my head.
Like, that's only
happened a few times,
like, Gymkhana Five drift jump,
and, like, water's edge
in Gymkhana Nine.
I think that we maybe
hoped that those moments
would have happened
at South Gate,
'cause it was something
new and different,
and I think because of that,
we put a ton of pressure
on that segment.
I think we all thought it was
gonna be really, really good,
and it was, like,
from the first moment,
it was just a realization
that, like,
this is not going to be
what we want it to be.
- [Man] I would do things
in a different order or
- I would like to go
home at this point.
This all sucks.
We have what we have there,
and I think in the end,
South Gate could be okay,
but the rest of them
all have to be extra strong,
'cause we can't just have
every piece be solid.
That's not what makes a film.
Like, there needs to be
some moments that are just,
like, really big
and really strong.
And I think that
there's opportunity
for, like, really
big moments here.
- Beautiful.
- I'm fucking cold.
Mustache is already frozen.
The two of you telling Matt
it's minus 26 right now?
Minus 26 and sunny.
- [Woman] Alright,
so we'll look at this
- I'm sorry!
Okay.
- The other day,
we went over there
after they'd started to
cut some roads out,
and we realized that they're
construction workers,
so they don't really
kind of understand
the corners that
you want for, like,
a racetrack type set up.
Because it's way better
if we can loop stuff.
If you can keep Ken hot,
he's gonna perform a lot better.
So, like, I wanna be
able to have him, like,
rip through here,
do this moment,
exit through here, and then
feel comfortable enough
to come ripping
down through here,
come back through here,
loop through here,
and then come back in
and do it again.
So, I had Will do a fly over
and just take some shots
with the drone,
and that way
I can hand this off
to the guys in
construction and say,
go nip a little here,
tuck a little there,
and cut a new road here,
so I've got, like,
another kind of rotation.
Stuff like that.
- [Ken] We all learned a lot
from L.A.
I'm glad Brian
headed out early,
because when we shoot
in such a remote location,
we need to be prepared
for anything.
We simply can't afford
to have another shoot
feel like L.A. did.
- We woke up at about
4 a.m. to get here
for a 5:00 set up.
Drove the truck in and then
the bottom fell out it,
and it's now stuck
sort of in between
the ice and the
bottom of the shore.
- Yeah, one of the things that's
kind of alarming about this
is we were told
this wouldn't happen.
- The locals haven't seen it
happen like that before,
with the weight of the truck,
they were quite happy with it,
but obviously the ice
wasn't thick enough.
- What's all that
over your face?
Yeah, it is, it's like
look like Hare Krishna, mate.
- It's always a bummer when,
on day one, you just know
you're not gonna get
that cadence, 'cause,
like these shoots
come together when we
just get that motion
and everything starts to
kind of flow and work together,
and there's no way that
that's going to happen today.
We've already got a truck
that's broken through the ice.
It's snowing, which it
wasn't supposed to be.
So it's already a few
things, a little slow,
and so hopefully by
the middle of the day today
we start to pick up speed.
The main trick we want to
film today is a tether shot.
We're strapping Ken's car
to a pole
where he's going to do
a tethered 360
until we release him with
a small explosion.
This is going to be
the opening of the film,
so it's really important that it
looks as amazing as possible.
To get the traction we need,
in order to get
the speed we need,
we are installing studs
into the tires.
But, since our truck
fell through the ice,
that was our garage,
so now the mechanics
have to set this all up
in negative 30 degree weather.
- Rally mechanics don't
work in heated garages.
They're used to working
without a vehicle there.
They're used to changing motors
and trannies on their backs.
So it doesn't phase the guys,
we got the right clothes,
we're keeping a good attitude
and this is the first day,
so if it gets us now,
Friday's gonna be really long.
Next time you have the bright
idea to come to Sweden,
just punch your fcking-self
in the fcking face.
- [Brian] By the way
by the way, this was Ken's idea.
- Oh, was it?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well fck him.
- [Brian] I wanted to
go to Miami, but no,
we're in Sweden instead.
- A choice between
L.A. or Sweden?
- Well, when you see Ken,
punch him for me.
- (laughing)
- Matt to Jeremy.
- Go ahead, man.
- [Matt] On the move
with Ken coming over.
Copy that, we're
rigging the car now.
- [Ken] Himalayan Matt
over here.
You might win the best outfit.
- It wasn't a competition.
- No, it was a competition.
- The thing I was
looking forward to most
about filming in Sweden
really was being able
to drive the WRC car.
This is the World Championship
winning spec car,
and we get to play
with it on the snow
with studded tires
and fun obstacles.
- Ken got in last night,
kind of reviewed everything
this morning and I you know,
I told him this is only gonna
be as good as you drive.
(rock music)
It's, like, we normally
don't shoot in wide open air
because wide open
doesn't look fast.
Like, you have no
point of reference,
and here we are shooting in,
like, wide open snow,
and on ice and there's not
as much reference for things.
So I guess my biggest fear
is that
it just doesn't
look good on camera.
- [Brian] Okay, here we go,
rehearsal's up, please.
- Three, two, one.
- Focus, please.
- [Matt] There he goes.
- Oh, so this is kind of
like Russian roulette.
- This is totally
Russian roulette.
- If you get ahead,
keep going.
- This is insane.
You see random videos
of down south boys
doing this with, like,
a UTV or something,
but never with a full on
half million dollar WRC car.
- Do you think he's dizzy yet?
All right,
we'll cut you down.
- I wish it was
a little faster.
- We can probably go faster.
- Yeah.
- You were giving me
no feedback,
I didn't know if I was going
for five minutes, 10 minutes,
like, we were going
for maximum speed.
- Do you think you
could go faster?
Oh, it was totally fine.
But let's go again.
It's kind of crappy out, but
We may as well shoot,
we can always come back
when it gets sunny.
That worked perfectly,
that was exactly what we wanted,
but this is our first shot up
in the video and on camera
you just can't tell any
definition or texture in snow,
'cause you got a white car,
you got a white ground,
you got a white sky,
and this can't be
the opening shot of the film.
- In three, two, one,
action, action, car.
We didn't fly halfway
around the world
to not see Sweden.
We could have just
shot this in Michigan.
- [Ken] This isn't gonna work.
- They were just saying
they might cut for the day
'cause they want more blue sky.
Good luck with that.
That's what I was saying.
At least it's not snowing now.
How do they know tomorrow
is more blue sky?
- It looked so much
better yesterday.
I knew I knew when you have
five days of scouting
that are just beautiful,
you're gonna get boned on
your day of filming,
so here we are, boned.
I knew getting texture
was going to be tough,
so I had Matthew design
some ice fishing huts
we can use as back drops for
a little added color.
- [Woman] I like this one.
This is really cool.
- It's wallpaper.
- Yeah, I know, I like it.
- It's nice, nice, fresh wood.
Swedish wood.
- I like them over there.
- Yeah, I know, right?
- They were literally
built every single house
that was over there.
This is nice Swedish
contemporary tutti frutti
design.
(laughing)
We're painting 'em all
sorts of crazy colors
so they really pop.
And then with the snowmen going
around and everything else
it's just, like,
super, super cool.
I saw an aerial shot,
and it looked
just the way I wanted it to.
In fact, maybe even better.
I mean, really is
it's freakin' spectacular.
- Who's there?
(laughing)
- The basic idea of
the carousel came from
just an Internet video,
you know?
And we thought, hey, that
would be a great obstacle
for us, for Gymkhana 10,
because we're trying
to find things which,
if you lived in Mexico, or
you lived in the Philippines,
and you didn't know much
about it,
you would hopefully be
blown away
by not only the driving and
control on snow and ice,
but also the creativity
that we brought to that.
- Is there a chance that
this thing cracks in half?
(laughing)
There is a dive team back there
ready to come in and get you.
- It's like a weird thing
to think about, like,
oh, well, if he screws up
he's going to fall
into ice water that's
11 meters deep.
- Good luck.
- The divers are talking about
putting a light on the car
because it'll hit
the ground so hard
that it'll bring up
so much silt that
they wouldn't be able to
find it.
- Can I just say something
while we're all together?
You're all fucking mad.
- I always liked when Derek
worries a little bit.
- It means we're doing something
right when Derek's, like,
alright, mate, just in case
you need to have, like
I need a safety word with Ken.
- Are you ready?
Three, two, one,
action, action.
Wild.
- Oh, wow.
- Ooh, that exit looks rad.
That looked awesome.
Going on and off the disc.
- [Ken] Yeah, I mean,
it's not gonna get
much better than that.
If you want to start
addressing it differently
or doing something different,
I'm down for that?
- The images, we want more
- Let's do it.
Not one more, two more.
You never say one more.
Three, two, one,
action, action.
(rock music)
- [Brian] Take ten
and we'll move on.
- See if they can fix it
quickly, because it might be
We'll see if they can get it
clean in the next minute,
otherwise we'll move on.
I mean, even the single slide
through there and out
looked really cool
'cause it was, like,
just nice super precision,
tight and out so
I like 'em both.
Oh, my God, what have
you done, Pierre?
He sat on the banana and
exploded banana in the backseat.
That's your seat for the
rest of the day now buddy.
Clean up on aisle seven.
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
- [Matthew] Oh, that was sick.
- Nice work, nice work,
that is a take,
that is a take.
Uh, we're gonna move on.
- The pit crew and I
were like standing there.
They actually wanted
to put me in a Speedo.
Like a Union Jack
British flag Speedo,
jump in there, and I was,
like, I don't think so.
- [Ken] Once you're
in the water,
how long can you be in there
before you need to get out?
- Probably take five,
10 seconds before
I can speak again because of
all the shock on the body.
- That sounds horrible.
Why do you do this?
- [Johan] Because of you guys.
- Okay, yeah, great.
As soon as I see you
starting to go towards
the ladder I'll have Ken exit
and then you can
get up and run to
the back of the sauna.
- Yeah, I just want
to be in the water.
- Yeah, swim and have fun.
- How are you?
- Good.
I'm not gonna jump this,
no, thank you. (laughs)
- Oliver's coming in to
guest appearance for us.
Extremely talented driver
and Petter Solberg's son.
It's good to get him involved
and I'm sure his
personality is going to
come across quite well.
- Originally it was gonna be
Andreas' role.
It, you know,
was up in the air,
'cause we were like,
well, we can't use Andreas
if he signs with someone else.
But, you know, we wanted
to use someone that was
somewhat local to the region.
- And now we're here
at Petter's shop.
Petter's gonna give
us a tour with Oliver.
(laughing)
That's when we visited
Petter's place.
Oliver was this big.
It's Oliver again.
Hey, Oliver!
- I tried to go up to you,
and I was, like,
no, I can't go up to you.
- Your dad was funny, he's like,
I'm world champion,
and this dude who just
makes videos is, like,
more popular to my son than me.
(laughs)
- My son is a big fan of Ken.
- I looked at all
the Gymkhanas yesterday.
- [Ken] Oh, did you?
- Yeah.
- You are the first
person with the first
other car in one of
our Gymkhana videos.
Pretty cool.
- [Oliver] Yeah,
that's quite crazy.
- [Ken] I mean you've done
When was the only time
you've said you'd
done donuts before?
- After a race, with
a super car, two times.
- Right, yeah, just
a little celebration.
- Yeah.
- So do you think
you should do more?
- Yeah, because it's fun.
(laughing)
- You're going in,
we told you that, right?
- Okay.
- (laughing)
- Did I not mention that?
- [Ken] We knew that
you were driving,
but now you're swimming.
- So Ken will come in the car,
do the first rotation around,
after he does one full rotation,
you'll be over there
and you're gonna come in,
and kind of follow him tandem.
So you'll come in
and be behind him.
- Good luck.
The other option, too,
is that he can come in
a bit late, and then I
could catch up with him
and then it's on me to
put my car next to him.
- We could do it that way too.
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, please?
- [Brian] Yeah, you
want to do that?
- [Ken] 'Cause I have a
little more time in these cars
than he does.
- [Brian] Let's do that,
then you can catch him.
- See what I have
to put up with?
- Yeah, this is what your
future looks like, Oliver.
- [Derek] Now you have to see
what we have to put up with.
(laughing)
- [Brian] Alright, guys,
we're gonna start clearing
the ice, please,
if everyone can go back
behind the diver's van.
Back to the video van.
(intense music)
He's gone.
That looks sketchy as hell.
- Alright, so start
moving the minute you see
him start walking.
- Everyone ready guys?
- Yup.
- [Man] Alright,
we are rolling.
- We very well may
get blasted with ice.
And three, two, one,
action, Johan.
- So ridiculous.
Go, go, go, Oliver, go.
(laughing)
- I remember I was
watching things happen,
and I was like counting,
and they just kept
driving around and around
and he's just in the pool,
and I'm like that's
more than 20 seconds.
Like, if I was that guy,
I would be bullshit
with us right now.
- Alright let's exit and
reset, exit and reset.
Nice commitment, Oliver,
nice commitment.
- [Man] Copy that, alright,
let's get the cars
safely to one.
- How do you feel?
- Wet.
It's getting colder and colder.
- Yeah, it's getting
colder and colder.
- It's the kid's first time out.
I can only imagine
he's super anxious,
feels super under pressure.
Hey, guys, we're
really gonna focus on
just trying to get the, uh
the entry locked in,
so if we don't get it
on the first rotation,
we'll exit from there
and then try again
so we can keep our swimmer
out of the water.
- Get the car ready a minute.
- I just need a little break.
- I'm ready.
- Alright, here we go guys,
we're rolling, rolling,
car's on the move in
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
- Go, go, go.
(rhythmic music)
His mind's, like,
very, like, racing.
Like, you don't
have to race there,
like, pace it yourself
so that you get in there
like a cog in the gear,
and he's, like, cool,
and I say three, two, one, go,
and he, like, full throttle
races all the way in.
Alright, let's exit
and try that again,
exit and try that again.
You want to go give
him a pep talk?
'Cause I've called the timing
three different times now,
so it's not, like, bad
timing, it's that he's
Well, I think you just
need to talk to him.
What's it going to take
to get him to react
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, I think now that he
felt what it felt like
to have you chasing him,
maybe he'll feel better.
- [Brian] Alright as
soon the road's locked,
we'll get drivers to cover guys,
so stand by for picture please.
- Alright, Ken, you're gonna
take your call off of Johan.
- Green light green light.
- Green light, green light,
guys, here we go.
Picture's up, please.
- [Brian] Ready,
ready, ready, ready.
- And three, two,
one, action, Johan.
- [Brian] Oliver, go, go.
That's gonna be it, that's
gonna be it, that's gonna be it.
Ken, take your exit.
The kid just pass him?
Oliver, exit.
Alright, I think we got it.
When he's out the shot,
he's gonna back up.
We're quite behind
schedule at this point,
I think it's, like,
almost 3:00.
We got like, I don't know, an
hour and a half probably left
of usable light.
- Matt, we flagged down Ken,
he's headed back to base camp.
Can you be there,
pick him up and bring him
back out here to the jump?
Ken do.
- [Brian] Ha, ha, Ken do.
It's pretty fucking hard.
Hello, Matthew.
Hello, Brian.
- The jump is the
last trick of the day.
So it's the one I,
like, get nervous about
because obviously
if it's not right
and he rolls in and crashes it,
we're in trouble.
- The thing that sucks is
that this wasn't actually
cut the way it needed to be.
- Do we need to fix that
now while we're talking?
- Can we get him over here?
- It's too much of a fix.
- I think we're bringing,
like, actual airtime back
to Gymkhana, which
people keep asking for.
We haven't had since
like five, really.
And we've never
had like two cars
interacting before on screen.
The ultimate goal
for this jump
is to outdo what we did
in San Francisco.
Not only will Ken be doing
a drift jump
over a 10 foot gap,
but Oliver will be
sliding his car underneath
at the exact same time.
If all goes well,
we might have
one of the gnarliest jumps
we've ever shot.
If it doesn't,
someone has to go tell
Sébastien Ogier
we just wrecked his WRC car.
No pressure, right?
(laughs) Yeah.
- [Brian] Ken, radio check,
radio check, Ken.
(indistinct dialog)
- [Ken] If you have a $10 head,
then buy a $10 helmet.
That's an old
advertising tagline
my dad told me
when I was a kid.
Since then, I've always
liked to call my helmets
Brain Buckets.
For the five unique helmets
in Gymkhana 10,
I asked Death Spray Custom
to paint each helmet
in this rad brain bucket style
all carrying the same
brain safety message.
- Okay, Oliver's
going to P one, Dan.
Watch out whoever's in
the middle of the ramp.
Rolling, rolling.
Cars are on the move in
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
(indistinct dialog)
- This isn't gonna work.
Let's go back to
straight jumping it.
- Alright, well,
I'm gonna keep Oliver on
his current path, then,
'cause that'll work fine
if you straight jump it.
Alright, let's just hit it
straight this time.
- Rolling, rolling.
- Alright, guys, here we go.
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
That was super mellow.
Yeah, we're gonna have to
revamp this,
it's just not gonna cut it.
We need to have them
plow that area tonight
so Ken can do drift jump.
Hey, Ken, this isn't even
worth our time.
We're gonna need to
re-shoot this tomorrow.
Why don't you, uh,
just come and watch playback.
[Ken] Okay.
- [Brian] We're done with you
today, Oliver.
You can bring the car back to
Derek, thank you very much.
- [Oliver] Thank you.
- Did you have fun?
- Yes.
- Do you want to
do more of this?
- Oh, yes.
- Yeah, yeah?
That was really cool,
you know,
exactly the same
but he's jumping,
and it was nice.
Thank you, thank you.
Today was amazing, you know,
it was a dream come true,
and I get to drive with Ken
and all his crew like this.
- [Ken] It's not what we wanted.
I mean, I feel like it's
a good job for him.
Shitty compared to
what we wanted to get.
I wanted a cool drift jump.
- [Brian] I wanted you
to be facing this way.
- [Ken] Yeah and that's
not gonna happen
with the current situation.
Like it's pushing it.
- I thought it looked good.
- I thought it was great.
- [Brian] Apparently,
someone disagrees.
- Look, to the average viewer,
any jump looks cool. I get that.
But what you have to
understand is that
jumping cars is actually
a simple thing
because it's just mathematics.
For us, we want to add
this skill level to it,
and when you add a drift,
that's where the skill comes in.
(laughing)
- [Ken] It looks pretty mellow.
- It looks fucking terrible.
- Mellow, I used
the word mellow.
- It's all alright.
- It looks cool from the side,
but it looks pretty simple.
Yeah, I think we should
push it and drift it.
I mean, that was the concept.
- [Man] Yeah,
I think that's unusual.
- [Brian] Alright, well, we'll
have them plow it tonight.
Hopefully, Oliver can stay,
and you can kind of get
the car sideways again.
(upbeat music)
- Last night we sort of
smoothed out the land.
Took out a lot of the bumps,
made it about
five meters longer,
so it's a smoother
transition for him.
I think it's so much better
than it was yesterday.
It's way flatter,
it's way harder,
and with a little bit
more water
- Water. Water.
- Say it right, it's water.
- "Wah-er."
There's no R, there's no T,
there's a couple Ds in there.
That's why the
bagels taste so good.
(laughing)
- Did you have fun yesterday?
- [Oliver] Oh, yes.
- Yeah?
- [Oliver] Yeah.
- So much power on the ice,
it's quite cool.
- Yeah, it's too
much power. (laughs)
- And this much,
I'm 16, it's like, woo.
- As a racecar driver
you just never get to do that,
and for me, when I started
racing rally cars,
I thought, man,
these things are so much fun
- Yeah.
- But the only time
you get to play with them
is, like, testing,
and then competition
and that's it.
So I think it is fun
to just do some
slides around some stuff.
We call it eye candy,
meaning that, like,
we're trying to entertain people
with fun visuals.
That's what a lot of
people don't understand,
that we're basically
entertainers.
I get to go drive,
at the end of the day
that's what I want to do,
I want to get in the car
and drive,
but we've gotta sell,
like, a lifestyle,
and sell cool content
to people.
- I've never thought about it
like a big thing,
but now it's everything,
it's like 50%
of your racing career if
you want to go somewhere.
- Well, the difference between,
like, you and your dad,
is your dad didn't
grow up with that.
Now a big part of it is
how many followers do you have,
how much exposure
can you give your sponsors,
how can you integrate
with them.
It's just a different world.
You know? So
But that's unfortunately,
that's where it's going,
and the good thing
is you're quite young
so you can kind of
learn it and then
apply it and then use that
to gain more sponsorship.
- Yeah.
- [Ken] So might as well
have fun doing it.
- [Oliver] Exactly.
- Cars are firing up now so,
uh, say two minute warning.
- [Brian] Rev it up, E.
- So did anyone write to see
what we're doing here?
- Going fast,
taking big risks.
- There we go.
- Alright, here we go, guys,
in three, two, one,
action, action.
I mean the timing is
the timing looks pretty good.
- [Ken] I mean that
right there is actually
- [Brian] It looks
better than yesterday.
- Well, yeah, and
it's the perfect turn
to actually be sliding but
I'm just not getting a slide.
- [Brian] Right.
- So what we had in our minds
and what we want
isn't happening.
I mean, let's just try
a couple more and see
what we get.
- Yeah. I mean, I would
incrementally get it more,
I wouldn't try to go huge.
That's a conversation
you and I had
right before the slide,
so good luck.
(laughing)
- And rolling, rolling.
- Camera's rolling.
- And three, two, one,
action, action.
(intense music)
- That exit's sick.
(laughs)
- That was a great shot, we're
moving on, we're moving on.
That was a great shot.
- Thank you.
- Hey. Thanks for staying
the extra day.
- Thank you.
- I appreciate it.
- It was good fun.
- Yeah?
- We're gonna move back
to tether right now
to finish up over there.
We've got like two shots
to do and then we're done.
- Here?
- Yes.
- How much time?
- Bryce is moving over, eh?
- Oh, don't blame Bryce.
It looks way better,
by the way.
- [Ken] It looks way better.
- How much time we got?
15 minutes?
- 30 by my fingers.
- [Brian] Oh, you're
fucking crazy.
(groaning)
That looks really comfortable.
(groaning)
Okay, good, check
can you hear me?
- [Derek] Brian. 25 bucks.
- What's that?
- 25 bucks.
- That we don't make the hole?
Alright, we'll take that.
Wait, pounds or dollars?
- Whatever you want.
- Okay, here we go guys.
- Ready?
- It's too far, it's
not being recognized
as being in the
camera whatsoever.
- Which camera?
- Three.
- [Man] He's
trying to format it.
He'll still format it.
- Hey, Ken, we have
a slight camera issue
we're trying to figure out,
hold on another minute.
If I can't get it
settled immediately,
we'll work around it.
- FYI, we have
11 minutes of light.
- [Brian] I know.
- We had everything set up,
everything was working fine,
and the red camera had
a software malfunction
or hardware,
maybe, I don't know.
- So we're down a camera,
we're just improvising.
- We don't know VTR,
we'll trust you.
- [Brian] We have just
nine more minutes of light.
Let's get everyone in position.
- Alright, we gotta go.
Please.
- Ready, ready
- Roll camera.
- [Brian] Guys, we are
rolling, rolling.
And car's on the move
in three
- two, one,
action, action.
- [Brian] I'm gonna give
you one more rotation,
one more rotation.
Three, two, one, release.
- That looked good.
- That looked good.
- I mean, he looked tight
on the exit though,
like, he clipped the exit.
- Yeah, it looked a
little Let me see.
- [Man] Can we get replay
on the exit, please?
Yeah, it looks good, though.
You want the little
It looks a little more
exciting that way.
Hey, Ken, that was a good shot,
thank you very much.
- Alright, everybody,
thank you, thank you
very much,
that is a wrap,
that is a wrap,
thank you, everybody.
(rock music)
- It's really important
when building viral content
that you hook the
viewer immediately.
It's Gymkhana 10.
Maybe we've watched
a couple before.
We have high expectations
of what you're gonna get.
It starts, you get a
quick little glimpse of
what's going on,
like we got five
different locations,
and you're gonna
kind of feel this
in the way we do the launch,
and then all of a sudden
(intense music)
Here you are on ice.
And in your head you're like,
ooh, it's ice?
That's something completely new.
I haven't seen them
do it on snow before.
This has to be good,
because if this doesn't
hook you in the beginning,
then you're out.
We get accused often of, like,
it's the same old shit
every time, right?
So this is our attempt
to try and to make it
not the same old shit.
But, I don't know if this is
the right way of going about it
'cause, like,
there's a lot of bands,
and I'm like, man, it's the
same old shit all the time,
and then they do a
fucking EDM album,
and I'm like, fuck you, that's
not what I wanted you to do.
I just wanted you
to stay punk rock.
Maybe this could be
our EDM album.
And there's extra pressure
on this segment,
'cause it's first up
in the film.
I love that these boys
just go about it like
this is just totally normal,
just like another day
of winter in Sweden.
Oh, we're moving.
Translating what we've done,
and what we've been so
successful of doing on pavement,
and now doing that on ice.
Does the car have
that same energy?
One of things where I can
picture it all in my head,
but this whole game is
taking my picture in my head
and actually making
that a reality on film.
I just kinda wanna see,
like, yeah, if it
I think it'll actually deflect
less when it's spinning.
I actually, like,
got out and, like,
drove some sections of this
in the rental car,
like, I normally
wouldn't do that.
I normally can kinda sit
and look at it and say,
okay, yeah,
that makes sense.
Knowing that there's so many
variables with Sweden really,
I couldn't just depend on the
art team getting this right.
- [Man] Whoa!
- I think the main thing is,
as long as he
kinda comes off semi straight
- [Matthew] Yeah,
he'll be fine.
- Or at least steering
into the edge,
so that he doesn't like.
- But I guess if you're going,
like, 60 miles an hour,
then it's a hell of a lot
of a difference, right?
I think he would.
(laughing)
- [Matthew] That was
such a mellow hit!
- It was all good
until Matthew got in.
- [Matthew]
Yeah, I'm bad luck.
- Just threw it off.
- [Matthew] Uh, yeah.
- [Brian] Yeah,
find the muzzlers,
we hit there so slow.
This thing is nowhere near
as fun as Ken's cars.
(upbeat music)
Ken's always kind
of had this thing
with, like, snow in his life.
That's why he
moved to Park City,
'cause he loves the mountains
and snow and stuff like that.
And when he did his first
rally, with proper studs,
back in 2011,
to go see Sweden.
- That experience really
kind of woke me up
to the idea of how much
grip you could have
on the snow and ice,
with that sort of tire.
There's more grip,
like, on a snowy, icy road
with those tires,
than we would have on gravel
with our gravel tires.
And that's just insane to me.
Now here we go again.
(laughs)
- I was, like, oh, wow,
we should do
a Gymkhana on ice.
That's really fucking cool.
- But the biggest problem
with that idea, though,
is really cost,
because the weather is
so unpredictable.
So if you fly 50 people
over to make this video,
you could literally
spend a lot of money,
and get nothing.
- It's rare that
we go somewhere,
and it's actually better than
the thought in my head.
Like, that's only
happened a few times,
like, Gymkhana Five drift jump,
and, like, water's edge
in Gymkhana Nine.
I think that we maybe
hoped that those moments
would have happened
at South Gate,
'cause it was something
new and different,
and I think because of that,
we put a ton of pressure
on that segment.
I think we all thought it was
gonna be really, really good,
and it was, like,
from the first moment,
it was just a realization
that, like,
this is not going to be
what we want it to be.
- [Man] I would do things
in a different order or
- I would like to go
home at this point.
This all sucks.
We have what we have there,
and I think in the end,
South Gate could be okay,
but the rest of them
all have to be extra strong,
'cause we can't just have
every piece be solid.
That's not what makes a film.
Like, there needs to be
some moments that are just,
like, really big
and really strong.
And I think that
there's opportunity
for, like, really
big moments here.
- Beautiful.
- I'm fucking cold.
Mustache is already frozen.
The two of you telling Matt
it's minus 26 right now?
Minus 26 and sunny.
- [Woman] Alright,
so we'll look at this
- I'm sorry!
Okay.
- The other day,
we went over there
after they'd started to
cut some roads out,
and we realized that they're
construction workers,
so they don't really
kind of understand
the corners that
you want for, like,
a racetrack type set up.
Because it's way better
if we can loop stuff.
If you can keep Ken hot,
he's gonna perform a lot better.
So, like, I wanna be
able to have him, like,
rip through here,
do this moment,
exit through here, and then
feel comfortable enough
to come ripping
down through here,
come back through here,
loop through here,
and then come back in
and do it again.
So, I had Will do a fly over
and just take some shots
with the drone,
and that way
I can hand this off
to the guys in
construction and say,
go nip a little here,
tuck a little there,
and cut a new road here,
so I've got, like,
another kind of rotation.
Stuff like that.
- [Ken] We all learned a lot
from L.A.
I'm glad Brian
headed out early,
because when we shoot
in such a remote location,
we need to be prepared
for anything.
We simply can't afford
to have another shoot
feel like L.A. did.
- We woke up at about
4 a.m. to get here
for a 5:00 set up.
Drove the truck in and then
the bottom fell out it,
and it's now stuck
sort of in between
the ice and the
bottom of the shore.
- Yeah, one of the things that's
kind of alarming about this
is we were told
this wouldn't happen.
- The locals haven't seen it
happen like that before,
with the weight of the truck,
they were quite happy with it,
but obviously the ice
wasn't thick enough.
- What's all that
over your face?
Yeah, it is, it's like
look like Hare Krishna, mate.
- It's always a bummer when,
on day one, you just know
you're not gonna get
that cadence, 'cause,
like these shoots
come together when we
just get that motion
and everything starts to
kind of flow and work together,
and there's no way that
that's going to happen today.
We've already got a truck
that's broken through the ice.
It's snowing, which it
wasn't supposed to be.
So it's already a few
things, a little slow,
and so hopefully by
the middle of the day today
we start to pick up speed.
The main trick we want to
film today is a tether shot.
We're strapping Ken's car
to a pole
where he's going to do
a tethered 360
until we release him with
a small explosion.
This is going to be
the opening of the film,
so it's really important that it
looks as amazing as possible.
To get the traction we need,
in order to get
the speed we need,
we are installing studs
into the tires.
But, since our truck
fell through the ice,
that was our garage,
so now the mechanics
have to set this all up
in negative 30 degree weather.
- Rally mechanics don't
work in heated garages.
They're used to working
without a vehicle there.
They're used to changing motors
and trannies on their backs.
So it doesn't phase the guys,
we got the right clothes,
we're keeping a good attitude
and this is the first day,
so if it gets us now,
Friday's gonna be really long.
Next time you have the bright
idea to come to Sweden,
just punch your fcking-self
in the fcking face.
- [Brian] By the way
by the way, this was Ken's idea.
- Oh, was it?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well fck him.
- [Brian] I wanted to
go to Miami, but no,
we're in Sweden instead.
- A choice between
L.A. or Sweden?
- Well, when you see Ken,
punch him for me.
- (laughing)
- Matt to Jeremy.
- Go ahead, man.
- [Matt] On the move
with Ken coming over.
Copy that, we're
rigging the car now.
- [Ken] Himalayan Matt
over here.
You might win the best outfit.
- It wasn't a competition.
- No, it was a competition.
- The thing I was
looking forward to most
about filming in Sweden
really was being able
to drive the WRC car.
This is the World Championship
winning spec car,
and we get to play
with it on the snow
with studded tires
and fun obstacles.
- Ken got in last night,
kind of reviewed everything
this morning and I you know,
I told him this is only gonna
be as good as you drive.
(rock music)
It's, like, we normally
don't shoot in wide open air
because wide open
doesn't look fast.
Like, you have no
point of reference,
and here we are shooting in,
like, wide open snow,
and on ice and there's not
as much reference for things.
So I guess my biggest fear
is that
it just doesn't
look good on camera.
- [Brian] Okay, here we go,
rehearsal's up, please.
- Three, two, one.
- Focus, please.
- [Matt] There he goes.
- Oh, so this is kind of
like Russian roulette.
- This is totally
Russian roulette.
- If you get ahead,
keep going.
- This is insane.
You see random videos
of down south boys
doing this with, like,
a UTV or something,
but never with a full on
half million dollar WRC car.
- Do you think he's dizzy yet?
All right,
we'll cut you down.
- I wish it was
a little faster.
- We can probably go faster.
- Yeah.
- You were giving me
no feedback,
I didn't know if I was going
for five minutes, 10 minutes,
like, we were going
for maximum speed.
- Do you think you
could go faster?
Oh, it was totally fine.
But let's go again.
It's kind of crappy out, but
We may as well shoot,
we can always come back
when it gets sunny.
That worked perfectly,
that was exactly what we wanted,
but this is our first shot up
in the video and on camera
you just can't tell any
definition or texture in snow,
'cause you got a white car,
you got a white ground,
you got a white sky,
and this can't be
the opening shot of the film.
- In three, two, one,
action, action, car.
We didn't fly halfway
around the world
to not see Sweden.
We could have just
shot this in Michigan.
- [Ken] This isn't gonna work.
- They were just saying
they might cut for the day
'cause they want more blue sky.
Good luck with that.
That's what I was saying.
At least it's not snowing now.
How do they know tomorrow
is more blue sky?
- It looked so much
better yesterday.
I knew I knew when you have
five days of scouting
that are just beautiful,
you're gonna get boned on
your day of filming,
so here we are, boned.
I knew getting texture
was going to be tough,
so I had Matthew design
some ice fishing huts
we can use as back drops for
a little added color.
- [Woman] I like this one.
This is really cool.
- It's wallpaper.
- Yeah, I know, I like it.
- It's nice, nice, fresh wood.
Swedish wood.
- I like them over there.
- Yeah, I know, right?
- They were literally
built every single house
that was over there.
This is nice Swedish
contemporary tutti frutti
design.
(laughing)
We're painting 'em all
sorts of crazy colors
so they really pop.
And then with the snowmen going
around and everything else
it's just, like,
super, super cool.
I saw an aerial shot,
and it looked
just the way I wanted it to.
In fact, maybe even better.
I mean, really is
it's freakin' spectacular.
- Who's there?
(laughing)
- The basic idea of
the carousel came from
just an Internet video,
you know?
And we thought, hey, that
would be a great obstacle
for us, for Gymkhana 10,
because we're trying
to find things which,
if you lived in Mexico, or
you lived in the Philippines,
and you didn't know much
about it,
you would hopefully be
blown away
by not only the driving and
control on snow and ice,
but also the creativity
that we brought to that.
- Is there a chance that
this thing cracks in half?
(laughing)
There is a dive team back there
ready to come in and get you.
- It's like a weird thing
to think about, like,
oh, well, if he screws up
he's going to fall
into ice water that's
11 meters deep.
- Good luck.
- The divers are talking about
putting a light on the car
because it'll hit
the ground so hard
that it'll bring up
so much silt that
they wouldn't be able to
find it.
- Can I just say something
while we're all together?
You're all fucking mad.
- I always liked when Derek
worries a little bit.
- It means we're doing something
right when Derek's, like,
alright, mate, just in case
you need to have, like
I need a safety word with Ken.
- Are you ready?
Three, two, one,
action, action.
Wild.
- Oh, wow.
- Ooh, that exit looks rad.
That looked awesome.
Going on and off the disc.
- [Ken] Yeah, I mean,
it's not gonna get
much better than that.
If you want to start
addressing it differently
or doing something different,
I'm down for that?
- The images, we want more
- Let's do it.
Not one more, two more.
You never say one more.
Three, two, one,
action, action.
(rock music)
- [Brian] Take ten
and we'll move on.
- See if they can fix it
quickly, because it might be
We'll see if they can get it
clean in the next minute,
otherwise we'll move on.
I mean, even the single slide
through there and out
looked really cool
'cause it was, like,
just nice super precision,
tight and out so
I like 'em both.
Oh, my God, what have
you done, Pierre?
He sat on the banana and
exploded banana in the backseat.
That's your seat for the
rest of the day now buddy.
Clean up on aisle seven.
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
- [Matthew] Oh, that was sick.
- Nice work, nice work,
that is a take,
that is a take.
Uh, we're gonna move on.
- The pit crew and I
were like standing there.
They actually wanted
to put me in a Speedo.
Like a Union Jack
British flag Speedo,
jump in there, and I was,
like, I don't think so.
- [Ken] Once you're
in the water,
how long can you be in there
before you need to get out?
- Probably take five,
10 seconds before
I can speak again because of
all the shock on the body.
- That sounds horrible.
Why do you do this?
- [Johan] Because of you guys.
- Okay, yeah, great.
As soon as I see you
starting to go towards
the ladder I'll have Ken exit
and then you can
get up and run to
the back of the sauna.
- Yeah, I just want
to be in the water.
- Yeah, swim and have fun.
- How are you?
- Good.
I'm not gonna jump this,
no, thank you. (laughs)
- Oliver's coming in to
guest appearance for us.
Extremely talented driver
and Petter Solberg's son.
It's good to get him involved
and I'm sure his
personality is going to
come across quite well.
- Originally it was gonna be
Andreas' role.
It, you know,
was up in the air,
'cause we were like,
well, we can't use Andreas
if he signs with someone else.
But, you know, we wanted
to use someone that was
somewhat local to the region.
- And now we're here
at Petter's shop.
Petter's gonna give
us a tour with Oliver.
(laughing)
That's when we visited
Petter's place.
Oliver was this big.
It's Oliver again.
Hey, Oliver!
- I tried to go up to you,
and I was, like,
no, I can't go up to you.
- Your dad was funny, he's like,
I'm world champion,
and this dude who just
makes videos is, like,
more popular to my son than me.
(laughs)
- My son is a big fan of Ken.
- I looked at all
the Gymkhanas yesterday.
- [Ken] Oh, did you?
- Yeah.
- You are the first
person with the first
other car in one of
our Gymkhana videos.
Pretty cool.
- [Oliver] Yeah,
that's quite crazy.
- [Ken] I mean you've done
When was the only time
you've said you'd
done donuts before?
- After a race, with
a super car, two times.
- Right, yeah, just
a little celebration.
- Yeah.
- So do you think
you should do more?
- Yeah, because it's fun.
(laughing)
- You're going in,
we told you that, right?
- Okay.
- (laughing)
- Did I not mention that?
- [Ken] We knew that
you were driving,
but now you're swimming.
- So Ken will come in the car,
do the first rotation around,
after he does one full rotation,
you'll be over there
and you're gonna come in,
and kind of follow him tandem.
So you'll come in
and be behind him.
- Good luck.
The other option, too,
is that he can come in
a bit late, and then I
could catch up with him
and then it's on me to
put my car next to him.
- We could do it that way too.
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, please?
- [Brian] Yeah, you
want to do that?
- [Ken] 'Cause I have a
little more time in these cars
than he does.
- [Brian] Let's do that,
then you can catch him.
- See what I have
to put up with?
- Yeah, this is what your
future looks like, Oliver.
- [Derek] Now you have to see
what we have to put up with.
(laughing)
- [Brian] Alright, guys,
we're gonna start clearing
the ice, please,
if everyone can go back
behind the diver's van.
Back to the video van.
(intense music)
He's gone.
That looks sketchy as hell.
- Alright, so start
moving the minute you see
him start walking.
- Everyone ready guys?
- Yup.
- [Man] Alright,
we are rolling.
- We very well may
get blasted with ice.
And three, two, one,
action, Johan.
- So ridiculous.
Go, go, go, Oliver, go.
(laughing)
- I remember I was
watching things happen,
and I was like counting,
and they just kept
driving around and around
and he's just in the pool,
and I'm like that's
more than 20 seconds.
Like, if I was that guy,
I would be bullshit
with us right now.
- Alright let's exit and
reset, exit and reset.
Nice commitment, Oliver,
nice commitment.
- [Man] Copy that, alright,
let's get the cars
safely to one.
- How do you feel?
- Wet.
It's getting colder and colder.
- Yeah, it's getting
colder and colder.
- It's the kid's first time out.
I can only imagine
he's super anxious,
feels super under pressure.
Hey, guys, we're
really gonna focus on
just trying to get the, uh
the entry locked in,
so if we don't get it
on the first rotation,
we'll exit from there
and then try again
so we can keep our swimmer
out of the water.
- Get the car ready a minute.
- I just need a little break.
- I'm ready.
- Alright, here we go guys,
we're rolling, rolling,
car's on the move in
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
- Go, go, go.
(rhythmic music)
His mind's, like,
very, like, racing.
Like, you don't
have to race there,
like, pace it yourself
so that you get in there
like a cog in the gear,
and he's, like, cool,
and I say three, two, one, go,
and he, like, full throttle
races all the way in.
Alright, let's exit
and try that again,
exit and try that again.
You want to go give
him a pep talk?
'Cause I've called the timing
three different times now,
so it's not, like, bad
timing, it's that he's
Well, I think you just
need to talk to him.
What's it going to take
to get him to react
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, I think now that he
felt what it felt like
to have you chasing him,
maybe he'll feel better.
- [Brian] Alright as
soon the road's locked,
we'll get drivers to cover guys,
so stand by for picture please.
- Alright, Ken, you're gonna
take your call off of Johan.
- Green light green light.
- Green light, green light,
guys, here we go.
Picture's up, please.
- [Brian] Ready,
ready, ready, ready.
- And three, two,
one, action, Johan.
- [Brian] Oliver, go, go.
That's gonna be it, that's
gonna be it, that's gonna be it.
Ken, take your exit.
The kid just pass him?
Oliver, exit.
Alright, I think we got it.
When he's out the shot,
he's gonna back up.
We're quite behind
schedule at this point,
I think it's, like,
almost 3:00.
We got like, I don't know, an
hour and a half probably left
of usable light.
- Matt, we flagged down Ken,
he's headed back to base camp.
Can you be there,
pick him up and bring him
back out here to the jump?
Ken do.
- [Brian] Ha, ha, Ken do.
It's pretty fucking hard.
Hello, Matthew.
Hello, Brian.
- The jump is the
last trick of the day.
So it's the one I,
like, get nervous about
because obviously
if it's not right
and he rolls in and crashes it,
we're in trouble.
- The thing that sucks is
that this wasn't actually
cut the way it needed to be.
- Do we need to fix that
now while we're talking?
- Can we get him over here?
- It's too much of a fix.
- I think we're bringing,
like, actual airtime back
to Gymkhana, which
people keep asking for.
We haven't had since
like five, really.
And we've never
had like two cars
interacting before on screen.
The ultimate goal
for this jump
is to outdo what we did
in San Francisco.
Not only will Ken be doing
a drift jump
over a 10 foot gap,
but Oliver will be
sliding his car underneath
at the exact same time.
If all goes well,
we might have
one of the gnarliest jumps
we've ever shot.
If it doesn't,
someone has to go tell
Sébastien Ogier
we just wrecked his WRC car.
No pressure, right?
(laughs) Yeah.
- [Brian] Ken, radio check,
radio check, Ken.
(indistinct dialog)
- [Ken] If you have a $10 head,
then buy a $10 helmet.
That's an old
advertising tagline
my dad told me
when I was a kid.
Since then, I've always
liked to call my helmets
Brain Buckets.
For the five unique helmets
in Gymkhana 10,
I asked Death Spray Custom
to paint each helmet
in this rad brain bucket style
all carrying the same
brain safety message.
- Okay, Oliver's
going to P one, Dan.
Watch out whoever's in
the middle of the ramp.
Rolling, rolling.
Cars are on the move in
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
(indistinct dialog)
- This isn't gonna work.
Let's go back to
straight jumping it.
- Alright, well,
I'm gonna keep Oliver on
his current path, then,
'cause that'll work fine
if you straight jump it.
Alright, let's just hit it
straight this time.
- Rolling, rolling.
- Alright, guys, here we go.
- Three, two, one,
action, action.
That was super mellow.
Yeah, we're gonna have to
revamp this,
it's just not gonna cut it.
We need to have them
plow that area tonight
so Ken can do drift jump.
Hey, Ken, this isn't even
worth our time.
We're gonna need to
re-shoot this tomorrow.
Why don't you, uh,
just come and watch playback.
[Ken] Okay.
- [Brian] We're done with you
today, Oliver.
You can bring the car back to
Derek, thank you very much.
- [Oliver] Thank you.
- Did you have fun?
- Yes.
- Do you want to
do more of this?
- Oh, yes.
- Yeah, yeah?
That was really cool,
you know,
exactly the same
but he's jumping,
and it was nice.
Thank you, thank you.
Today was amazing, you know,
it was a dream come true,
and I get to drive with Ken
and all his crew like this.
- [Ken] It's not what we wanted.
I mean, I feel like it's
a good job for him.
Shitty compared to
what we wanted to get.
I wanted a cool drift jump.
- [Brian] I wanted you
to be facing this way.
- [Ken] Yeah and that's
not gonna happen
with the current situation.
Like it's pushing it.
- I thought it looked good.
- I thought it was great.
- [Brian] Apparently,
someone disagrees.
- Look, to the average viewer,
any jump looks cool. I get that.
But what you have to
understand is that
jumping cars is actually
a simple thing
because it's just mathematics.
For us, we want to add
this skill level to it,
and when you add a drift,
that's where the skill comes in.
(laughing)
- [Ken] It looks pretty mellow.
- It looks fucking terrible.
- Mellow, I used
the word mellow.
- It's all alright.
- It looks cool from the side,
but it looks pretty simple.
Yeah, I think we should
push it and drift it.
I mean, that was the concept.
- [Man] Yeah,
I think that's unusual.
- [Brian] Alright, well, we'll
have them plow it tonight.
Hopefully, Oliver can stay,
and you can kind of get
the car sideways again.
(upbeat music)
- Last night we sort of
smoothed out the land.
Took out a lot of the bumps,
made it about
five meters longer,
so it's a smoother
transition for him.
I think it's so much better
than it was yesterday.
It's way flatter,
it's way harder,
and with a little bit
more water
- Water. Water.
- Say it right, it's water.
- "Wah-er."
There's no R, there's no T,
there's a couple Ds in there.
That's why the
bagels taste so good.
(laughing)
- Did you have fun yesterday?
- [Oliver] Oh, yes.
- Yeah?
- [Oliver] Yeah.
- So much power on the ice,
it's quite cool.
- Yeah, it's too
much power. (laughs)
- And this much,
I'm 16, it's like, woo.
- As a racecar driver
you just never get to do that,
and for me, when I started
racing rally cars,
I thought, man,
these things are so much fun
- Yeah.
- But the only time
you get to play with them
is, like, testing,
and then competition
and that's it.
So I think it is fun
to just do some
slides around some stuff.
We call it eye candy,
meaning that, like,
we're trying to entertain people
with fun visuals.
That's what a lot of
people don't understand,
that we're basically
entertainers.
I get to go drive,
at the end of the day
that's what I want to do,
I want to get in the car
and drive,
but we've gotta sell,
like, a lifestyle,
and sell cool content
to people.
- I've never thought about it
like a big thing,
but now it's everything,
it's like 50%
of your racing career if
you want to go somewhere.
- Well, the difference between,
like, you and your dad,
is your dad didn't
grow up with that.
Now a big part of it is
how many followers do you have,
how much exposure
can you give your sponsors,
how can you integrate
with them.
It's just a different world.
You know? So
But that's unfortunately,
that's where it's going,
and the good thing
is you're quite young
so you can kind of
learn it and then
apply it and then use that
to gain more sponsorship.
- Yeah.
- [Ken] So might as well
have fun doing it.
- [Oliver] Exactly.
- Cars are firing up now so,
uh, say two minute warning.
- [Brian] Rev it up, E.
- So did anyone write to see
what we're doing here?
- Going fast,
taking big risks.
- There we go.
- Alright, here we go, guys,
in three, two, one,
action, action.
I mean the timing is
the timing looks pretty good.
- [Ken] I mean that
right there is actually
- [Brian] It looks
better than yesterday.
- Well, yeah, and
it's the perfect turn
to actually be sliding but
I'm just not getting a slide.
- [Brian] Right.
- So what we had in our minds
and what we want
isn't happening.
I mean, let's just try
a couple more and see
what we get.
- Yeah. I mean, I would
incrementally get it more,
I wouldn't try to go huge.
That's a conversation
you and I had
right before the slide,
so good luck.
(laughing)
- And rolling, rolling.
- Camera's rolling.
- And three, two, one,
action, action.
(intense music)
- That exit's sick.
(laughs)
- That was a great shot, we're
moving on, we're moving on.
That was a great shot.
- Thank you.
- Hey. Thanks for staying
the extra day.
- Thank you.
- I appreciate it.
- It was good fun.
- Yeah?
- We're gonna move back
to tether right now
to finish up over there.
We've got like two shots
to do and then we're done.
- Here?
- Yes.
- How much time?
- Bryce is moving over, eh?
- Oh, don't blame Bryce.
It looks way better,
by the way.
- [Ken] It looks way better.
- How much time we got?
15 minutes?
- 30 by my fingers.
- [Brian] Oh, you're
fucking crazy.
(groaning)
That looks really comfortable.
(groaning)
Okay, good, check
can you hear me?
- [Derek] Brian. 25 bucks.
- What's that?
- 25 bucks.
- That we don't make the hole?
Alright, we'll take that.
Wait, pounds or dollars?
- Whatever you want.
- Okay, here we go guys.
- Ready?
- It's too far, it's
not being recognized
as being in the
camera whatsoever.
- Which camera?
- Three.
- [Man] He's
trying to format it.
He'll still format it.
- Hey, Ken, we have
a slight camera issue
we're trying to figure out,
hold on another minute.
If I can't get it
settled immediately,
we'll work around it.
- FYI, we have
11 minutes of light.
- [Brian] I know.
- We had everything set up,
everything was working fine,
and the red camera had
a software malfunction
or hardware,
maybe, I don't know.
- So we're down a camera,
we're just improvising.
- We don't know VTR,
we'll trust you.
- [Brian] We have just
nine more minutes of light.
Let's get everyone in position.
- Alright, we gotta go.
Please.
- Ready, ready
- Roll camera.
- [Brian] Guys, we are
rolling, rolling.
And car's on the move
in three
- two, one,
action, action.
- [Brian] I'm gonna give
you one more rotation,
one more rotation.
Three, two, one, release.
- That looked good.
- That looked good.
- I mean, he looked tight
on the exit though,
like, he clipped the exit.
- Yeah, it looked a
little Let me see.
- [Man] Can we get replay
on the exit, please?
Yeah, it looks good, though.
You want the little
It looks a little more
exciting that way.
Hey, Ken, that was a good shot,
thank you very much.
- Alright, everybody,
thank you, thank you
very much,
that is a wrap,
that is a wrap,
thank you, everybody.
