The Gymkhana Files (2018) s01e07 Episode Script
Get Yourself a Truck
1
- Could suck a little bit but-
Matt, you got a few seconds?
- [Matt] You can cut that
curb, bring it like that
so that if he hits here,
he can ride up onto it.
- But there's still
one trick on my list
that I haven't figured out yet.
(car revs)
It's a figure eight
where it's a double
proximity front and rear.
It's 24 feet.
Then the truck's
17 feet or 16.5.
So when you have three
feet on either side,
but you'll sick on camera
but you fuck up and
you're hitting a building.
and you're
hitting a building.
(static)
(car drives away)
Yeah so, so far we've got
Detroit's in the bag.
LA was crap but
we somehow made something of it.
Sweden was solid.
But the thing is, I think Texas
is the most important
thing we shoot.
Call Ken Block.
- [Voice Command]
Calling Ken Block.
- There's a lot riding on
Texas because the Hoonitruck
is supposed to be the
greatest moment in the film.
The thing here that's
interesting is that
it looks so different
from what we've done before
because it's small town America.
- The U Drop Inn,
The Tower Station,
as we call it.
It's quite an icon since
the movie Cars came out.
All three of the cars
movies have had a likeness
of this building in it.
We had over 20,000
visitors here last year,
actually sign the book inside
and it's due to the popularity
of Route 66 to some extent.
A third of the people
that signed that
registration book in there
were from foreign countries.
Run run run
with the railroad ♪
When their backs are turned ♪
- You know, we're so used
to shutting down San Francisco
but I think there's
a really cool
'Dukes of Hazard'
toughness of this
that we've never done before
and fits perfectly
for the truck.
Yeah so when we set
out to build truck,
we had so much success building
the Hoonigan the Mustang
and the reason we
built the Mustang,
there's an audience that
loves looking at rally cars
but there's an even bigger
audience that likes looking
at muscle cars and then
with that same thought,
there's an even bigger
audience that likes trucks.
The number one sold vehicle
in America for decades
has been a truck.
- Have you ever driven a truck?
A proper, like, American truck.
Not like a little, like,
"Oh this is our truck,
"we're towing a
caravan in Europe."
Like, it's not really a truck.
You know what I mean, like
Letter frame, big dumb V8,
ice cold air conditioning.
And like, oh man, the old GM's,
under the steering wheel,
there was a little
vent and you were like,
"What the hell is that for?"
It was literally to
blow ice cold air
in the summer.
Trucks are amazing.
Get yourself a truck.
- So it's a prep day.
It's our shake-down day.
The truck itself looks awesome.
The actual level of this
truck is really good.
- [Brian] The
Hoonitruck is something
we've been working on for years.
When it stands by itself,
you don't realize how big it is.
It's so wide,
we actually have to put
on space saver spares
just so we can get into
an enclosed trailer.
Its just a massive vehicle.
The truck from ground
up was designed to be
a Gymkhana car.
It's got huge 20 inch wheels,
bigger than anything
we've ever run
because it fills
the Fenders right.
It makes it look like
a Hot Wheels car.
All the body panels have
been built out of aluminum.
It took a ton of work.
It's not something you
just stick into a press
and something comes out.
The chassis is four different
parts so you can take it apart
if you crash it.
The engine in it was
prototyped for going to the
Ford GT super car which then
went on to win Les Mans.
- As long as it performs
today and the engine's good
and we've got a few
flames and it sounds good
then we'll be ready
for tomorrow morning.
- He guys, our trucks
about ready to fire up.
If we can all stay
clear of it please.
- How do I start this again?
- [Brian] The button
that says, "Fire."
(laughs)
(car starts)
- Oh Brian.
Bad Brian
- Jeremy, you happy?
- In life, yes?
- Okay good, we're going hot.
- [Brian] That
looks batshit crazy.
There was like, dust
flying from everywhere.
- Sounds nice.
Okay thank you.
Would you just pull up here
and we'll just check the data.
- It sounds actually
really sick.
It's weird because you're
looking at it and you're like,
"That sounds like a
Les Mans prototype car,
"but looks like a truck."
Like it actually doesn't
have that V8 sound
- but it sounds batshit.
- Good.
- I love the smell of all
new parts getting roasted
for the first time.
- So we're ready and there's
an adjustment we can make
on the antelope to
give you more boost.
- [Brian]
The entry cut says yes.
Yes, more boost.
(Ken laughs)
- More flames.
(car whirring and popping)
- The smoke pouring out
of the bed of the truck
is just fantastic.
You realize we're not
getting new tires.
Do you realize how fast
those tires got roasted.
You should get on the
phone with Toyo right now.
- So the truck also
known as Hoonitruck.
This is our hero
vehicle for Gymkhana 10.
This is the final part.
So this truck has to be amazing.
This video part
has to be amazing
and if it doesn't break the
internet at least in our minds,
then we failed.
- There's still one trick
that I have on my list
that we haven't figured out yet
which is sliding the back
of the bed of the truck
underneath something.
So I'll have to bring
in a prop to do it.
I don't know what
I'm looking for yet.
I want something that
we can slide under.
It's kinda perfect.
So what I'm thinking is
he just comes through,
slides the rear underneath here.
And if we wanted to
we could even put some stuff
on the back of the truck
to extend it all
the way to the bed.
It's 42 inches.
His is 40.
- Well I've had it a long time
but I had it loaned
it out to a friend.
- [Crew Member]
It's not something
we could rent from you?
We can get it out of
here for a few days?
- Well I don't really rent stuff
but where you gonna take it to?
- To Shamrock.
- [Roy] Take it to Shamrock.
- [Brian] You got any 30s
like model A's or anything?
That's for my own personal.
I build some Hot Rods and so
- Yeah I've got one
you'd really love to see.
Put that on there.
- [Brian] Oh that thing's cool.
- [Roy] That's cool.
That was done in
Hollywood, California.
- That is awesome.
I love meeting guys like
Roy and I could tell,
when he was first talking to me,
he was saying things like,
"Oh yeah, I got an old Ford.
"It's a 30 pick-up,"
and I was like,
"Oh, is that a double A?"
And then he just dove
right into it and was like,
"Check this out."
"Check this out."
It makes me realize that
I will eventually be him.
Like, that really
is just future me.
Every town has
those local heroes
and I think local
heroes are like
such an important
part of car culture
because its the stuff
that gets you into cars
is that other dude that
had that cool Hot Rod
or that cool muscle
car or whatever.
It looks so cool.
(birds chirping)
- [Crew Member]
I'm coming over Matty.
- Standard pre-first
shoot jitters.
You just really anxious
to get going.
- [Crew Member]
About three or four minutes
away from pulling this
truck out the back.
So that you know.
- Right now we gotta
wait till nine o'clock
before they can close down 83
because there's actually
a bit of traffic.
It's like the most cars I've
seen in town so it's like,
"All right, let's just do this."
- Guys and girls if I
can have your attention
just for a few
quick moments here.
For those of you
who I haven't met.
My name is Jeremy.
I'm the First Assistant
Director here.
This is Brian Scotto,
he's our Director.
We've got eight or so officers
with our production staff.
If there is an issue or
somebody crosses the street
and our race car's going,
someone drives out
or there's a dog in the road,
our code is "Bogey,
Bogey, Bogey."
If we don't get any response
for some reason for Ken,
who might not be
able to hear us,
X's.
X is stop
he'll shut it down.
As we've seen there's
a lot of gravel.
We have ear protection here.
We have eye protection here.
We do not want anybody to
lose anything along the way.
- Are you gonna
get in the truck.
- No, no (mumbles).
- Bye, bye, Daddy.
- [Ken] Bye.
- There might be some
pedestrians here.
If we can just ask them nicely,
please do not take any pictures.
We don't wanna say the
word 'Gymkhana' to anyone
so if anyone does ask
what we're filming,
just tell them we're
filming a commercial.
We are using
a new vehicle today.
The first time we're using it.
It generally should
not be on fire
so if you see it on
fire let us know.
A little bit of fire
out the exhaust is cool.
Anyway thank you everyone
for coming out here
and it's gonna be a
good couple of days.
- [Ken] The thing
with that truck is
it's bigger than
anything else drive.
- [Crew Member] Permission
to move the car Jeremy.
- Yes sir, lets take you
to P1 and stage there.
- [Ken] And it's
way longer behind me
and there's a wing sticking off.
- [Jeremy]
The car's going to P1.
- So how close I
can get to things.
- Warm up tires.
I just don't have that spacial
awareness with the truck yet.
- All right I'd like to
request full lock up please.
Let's hold all traffic guys.
Full lock up please.
- [Brian] That bird actually
scares me taking off.
- [Jeremy] Okay bird's
in the air guys.
Picture's up.
- We do a couple tests.
Sure, great I can slide
around a parking lot
but when it comes to putting
it in a bad situation,
I don't know what it's gonna do.
- [Jeremy] All right,
here we go guys. Standby.
- [Brian and Jeremy]
And, three, two, one
Action, action.
(car whirring and screeching)
- [Jeremy] I'm just reviewing
a little footage here
to give any flying
adjustments, guys.
Keep it locked.
- [Brian] So the goal for the
first trick at the U Drop Inn,
is to get the truck in
proximity of this Route 66 sign
painted on the pavement.
The angle I'm looking
for is this drone,
the GoPro mounted on the sign,
and Hert who's inside the diner.
Yeah, it certainly looks good.
I was wondering if
we could just get it
at a little bit more
angle through here
and just see how that looks.
- I don't know what
the consequences are
if I hit the curb.
- [Brian] If you
have more angle,
it just puts more of
the back of the truck
over the curb which
will just make it appear
like you're deeper in
even if you're not.
- [Ken] Copy.
- Let's go.
- [Jeremy]
We're going again everyone.
Happy?
All right.
Here we go, guys.
Car is on the move.
[Brian and Jeremy]
And three, two, one
Action, action.
(car whirring and popping)
(car screeching)
- I like it way better.
- [Jeremy]
That was definitely good.
- [Brian] I like it way better.
- [Jeremy] He did hang
tail over the curb.
- Can we see that again?
Hert can you come over here?
Hert's shot's dope.
This is Hert.
He's got a dog named Don.
He drives an RX7 but he's
dubbed the Twerk Stallion.
He's also kind of
an Instagram star.
Hert's always willing
to put himself
between a car and a hard place.
Because he's a driver,
because he drives himself,
he understands what
a car's gonna do.
He kind of can see it
before it's happening
and that's really what
gets him the shot.
Recoil 3 we shot in Tacoma he
was six inches from the car.
I don't even know if he really
knows how to use a camera.
But he still gets the shot.
- Play with no concept.
We just wanted to have
some fun with our boy Caleb
but he didn't bring
his car
- [Hert] This is
the second take.
- Bring it up.
- [Ken] (laughs)
Yeah it looks dope.
- The only thing we
don't have is the Manji
coming up the road.
- Oh you wanna do that.
- We never got that.
- Okay guys standby standby.
- [Jeremy]
The cars the move and
- [Brian and Jeremy]
Three, two, one
action, action.
(car whirring and screeching)
(classical music)
- Whoa.
- That's way better.
- The funny thing
with Texas is that
we're all dealing
with a new vehicle.
- [Brian] That looks
better over the curb,
You wanna stay hot?
- [Ken] Yeah let's do one more.
I wanna learn fast
and I'm pushing him,
"Hey, I wanna go again.
"I wanna go again."
- You wanna see a replay?
- No I wanna stay hot.
- Staying hot, let's go.
- We were sorta rushing to
try to get another take in.
- Ready ready?
- [Jeremy] Here we go, guys.
[Jeremy and Brian]
Three, two, one
- And Ken was like,
"I wanna go again."
- The take before that take
actually looked really good.
It wasn't translated back to him
that he was actually probably
as deep as he needed to be
so he tried to go
a little bit deeper.
(car slams into curb)
- [Hert] Oooh oooh.
- [Brian] And went
right up into the curb
- and broke the wheel.
- [Hert] That's the one.
- [Jeremy] He's up on the curb.
- Copy that.
Up on the curb, Derek.
Back wheel, back right rear.
Let's get that race
team down here guys.
Keep it locked.
- [Brian] Well, I guess
that's the consequence.
- [Crew Member]
It looks like it's gonna
need a definite fix on the car.
- That's what happens when
we push to go too quick
because there's no time
to review so it's like,
"All right, yeah."
"We'll go."
- For no reason too.
There was no reason too rush.
He was just getting ancy
so he just pushed it.
And that's the
most painful part.
Like, it's one thing
when you break something
when you're trying to
achieve the right take.
And then realizing we
already had the right take
but we just rushed too
quick into the next one.
So I'm just learning as we go.
- One, two, three, Jump
- Jeremy for Pierre.
- [Pierre] This is Pierre.
- Pierre,
you're ready ready, yes?
- [Pierre] Yes we are.
- Okay, copy that.
We're just waiting on KB.
As soon as he lands,
we'll do a quick
walkthrough, drive through.
And then we gotto
get into this.
We're getting off schedule here.
- So I had you coming this way,
and the reason being is that
you have grass on your exit
on both sides here.
And you would lose traction
coming across the grass.
So I thought it'd be better
if you were to loop this way.
Because that will give you
a nice wild ending on it.
- Right.
- So that one first,
and then this one and then exit.
- I like that.
- All right let's do it.
- [Jeremy] All right.
Here we go, guys.
Car is on the move in
[Brian, Derek and Jeremy]
Three, two, one
action, action.
(car revs and pops)
(car crashes into pillar).
- [Jeremy] And Derek to nose
inside Rusty Parts here.
He's coming your way.
Got loads of front
left damage here.
- Front left damage.
At the end of the day,
the difficult thing is,
it's a real fine line this.
If we don't take risks
we don't get a good shot.
- Okay Jeremy, do you copy?
- [Jeremy] Go for Jeremy.
- [Derek] Yeah Jay, it will be
a few minutes to repair this.
Say 45 at least.
- [Jeremy] Okay copy that.
- Par for the course,
you know.
Just get ready.
The boys like it, don't they?
Gives them something to so
Come on then,
stop fannying around.
- All right so the issue is
we really have one
more try at this.
- Why because you don't
wanna crash the car
more than one time?
- Well, no, we don't
have enough parts
and if anything happens,
tomorrow's the more
important thing.
So the problem with this is,
realistically this was
really way more slippery
than I thought it would be,
thus it sent it out wide.
And I don't mind the wide part
but when I even got
on the gas at all,
this was way grippier
and brought me in tight
so I can either come in shallow
and hopefully I get on the
throttle and it pushes me out.
Or I can go wide and try
and gain some speed and then
handbrake again.
That's gonna be ugly,
though.
- But that's safer.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- So do I do that
to hopefully get
a safe line through it
so we can get this
and maybe move on.
- Honestly I think
the hero shot here
is coming through
that archway here.
Not as much the entrance in.
So I think the best
set up to get us out.
- Okay so I'm gonna do the
- Compromised entry
with a strong exit.
- Do you guys all agree?
- Yes, lets send it.
- Great, thanks.
- [Jeremy]
Car's on the move in
- [Brian and Jeremy]
And three, two, one
action, action.
(engine revving)
(car tire into pillar).
- [Ken] Fuck.
- [Jeremy] Popped
drivers left tire.
Keep it locked please, guys.
You should probably
come on down D.
- Yeah she's fucked.
- [Brian] Drone can land,
we hit something I think.
- Well, any time something
like this happens.
Anytime.
Even a small mess up.
Like, I feel like I've failed.
It's that difficult on me.
I don't like to not be
able to do something
that I set out to do.
- [Derek] Axle.
Steering arm.
The tie rod's bent.
- And if I hit this again,
we have a part to
fix it one more time
but then we're on the end of
- [Brian] If that won't
work again, we're out.
- Although I hate that I
kind of had two fails there,
we just had to move on and be
smart about the production.
I knew I could come back
and get it right, hopefully.
- [Brian] Hey, Jeremy.
What if we left here
and then come back here
tomorrow after the snail.
- Could we make that work?
- Yeah.
- Hoonigan production designer
and kind of resident pirate,
Matthew Holt is at Shamrock
Airport setting up a new trick
we haven't tried before
and we're calling it.
The Snail.
What it is, is a decreasing
radius slide that spirals
through a maze of cars that
range from 50 to 70 years old.
What Ken really doesn't wanna do
is hit any of these 76
cars with the Hoonitruck.
Mostly because I want some
of them for my collection.
There's a Model A I want.
There's definitely an Edsel
wagon that I really want.
There's an F100.
There's also a couple Falcons.
Part of a new project
that we're working on,
I probably shouldn't
talk anymore about,
I kind of all of a sudden
want a really old Lincoln.
This one's nice.
That one's nice.
I love that one, too.
And also that one.
Basically all of these are mine,
so I'd prefer Ken
not to hit them.
- So I've known Ken for,
let's see, about an hour
and a half now.
The first time we were ever
introduced to each other,
was earlier they were
prepping the truck
to make a location change
when I pulled up.
I met Brian maybe
a year and a half ago.
Something like that.
And asked me if I was interested
in coming and hanging out.
Seeing how it operates and my
answer was the obvious one.
It was, "Uh, Yeah."
So all you have to do is
just get in the ball park
and it'll set down on it.
NASA docking latches
for your
- He's on like one
of the biggest shows
on the Discovery Channel.
- He's like Mr. Texas.
- Oh really?
So here I am and it looks
like I'm the Sheriff
of this fine town,
at least for the video.
- [Brian] And I would put
one between the two tires
just looking forward.
- What we're trying to do here
is to make sure
that Ken has enough room
to slide underneath the truck.
The truck is exactly 42 inches.
Our race car is 41.5,
So it's a little too close.
- [Brian] Well the problem is
that it's measured from here.
The vehicles actually up
like three inches over there.
- This cobblestone road
has a little bubble
so he's even higher
than the truck is so,
even our mission was a 42
on the scale makes sense.
- [Derek] We've go two rear
spoilers and two tailgates.
- [Ken] Okay.
- But it's the impact on
it that could do to it.
- Yeah it might mess
a lot of things up.
- The main plan is not to hit.
- So what we're gonna do now
is take the front wheels off
so that the truck does this.
- [Crew Member] T for Dan.
- I've been re-thinking
the whole thing.
I think what we should do is,
I think we should put the truck
in the middle of the street
because I've measured it.
On the floor it works.
The thing that's
giving us an issue
is the crown on the road.
- Back up a little bit more.
He wants to ride in the middle.
- But also, if we
backed it down,
then you could actually shoot
down the alleyway at it too.
I think it may be
a blessing in disguise.
It just a little bit
for us to get there.
- Brian is he gonna
do donuts around that?
- Yeah, and he's gonna get
part of the back of the bed
underneath that.
It's gonna be pretty rough.
- Would you wanna throw
a donut up there first
just to feel it before you
do it with high consequence?
- No.
- No? Okay.
(truck drifting and popping)
- [Brian] Greg are we safe?
Do you have visual?
- He's safe.
- [Brian] Copy that.
Resetting to one.
These earbuds
did not help at all.
- So I've done two perfect
shots and you're like,
- "It's not perfect enough."
- [Brian] It's still really good
but I want it to
be more perfect.
- It's snot perfect enough.
- So what I was saying
was your commitment
on the first entry is so strong
but if you move
that back two feet,
you'd get this and that.
If you are down for that
level of commitment.
Can we get playback
going in the truck?
- [Ken] See I think you
have enough to cut around
to make it look really good.
- [Brian] Yes we do.
- [Ken] And I don't
mean cut around
because we're trying
to cheat something.
I mean cut around
Yes I can do it
again, is it worth
All I'm asking, do you
have time and money?
- [Brian] Ron, do you think
What would you do?
- What would I do?
- (Ken laughs)
- I'd say go again.
- Mikey what would you do?
- [Brian] Mikey you
wanna see this again?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] I asked the two
people I knew would say yes.
Let's do it.
- [Jeremy] All right.
Let's standby.
And rolling.
The car's on the move in
[Brian and Jeremy]
Three, two, one
(engine revs)
(engine roars)
- [Brian] Somebody's
finally having fun.
(classical music)
- Mikey get in.
Get in.
(classical music)
Don't pull the door.
Pull from the window.
There you go.
Hold this.
(birds chirping)
- [Ken] This is in my mind
the most important
element of the video.
- [Eliza] Can you see?
- [Kanan] Yes.
Yeah.
- [Eliza] Are you buckled?
Are you belted?
Okay.
- [Ken] Visually,
dynamic and big.
So it's a very long drift.
It's quite technical.
Some parts of it it are very
narrow into a center axis donut
and then a quick transit
over to the donut box.
- [Eliza] Ready?
Action Kanan.
- All right.
Poor Kanan.
- [Crew Member] That
doesn't look sketchy at all.
- [Eliza] Okay,
that's good enough, guys.
We saw what we need to see.
- So I'm not sure how hard
the wind was blowing
(wind howling)
It was 50 or 60 miles an hour
but you're tugging a huge crane
with a UTV swinging
from the bottom of it
and a person
physically in there.
Like, we don't
wanna kill anyone.
- [Eliza] To pull
him away from Ken,
just if we need to,
what's your plan for that?
- [Adam] I'll get
him up high enough
where the truck will clear it
and then I'll take
off swinging this way.
- [Eliza] Yeah, he's
along for the ride.
Okay, great.
Thanks, Adam.
- [Brian] I wonder if
anyone's had the conversation
with Kanan about how
bad this could end up.
(Ken laughs)
- [Brian] Come be a production
coordinator at Hoonigan.
We might try to break
T6 in your spine.
- [Greg] I'm just glad
I have my job and not his job.
- The whole approach of it
really was a lot of memorization
of walking around and viewing
this thing from every angle
that I possibly could.
Because I wanted to do
it all in one movement.
(dramatic music)
(car crashes into
another vehicle)
- [Jeremy] Okay hold it Eliza.
- [Eliza] Hold, shut her down.
- You know, this is my second
day driving this new vehicle.
- [Ken] Make the wing
hang off long they said.
It'll be great they said.
[Justin] I should be in
an SUV with the AC on,
on a phone call
and instead I'm
playing American Sniper
inside of a rusty
ass pick up truck.
- Yeah the expectations are high
but the difficulty is
also fairly high too.
Since it's the end of the video,
it's not gonna look good
unless it looks dramatic so
- [Jeremy] All right,
car's going at one.
Okay, here we go, guys.
- [Eliza]
We all ready ready?
- Ten-four.
- Roll cameras.
- [Jeremy] Three, two, one
Action, action.
- That was tight.
- Oh my God.
(engine roaring)
- [Eliza] That looks
really awesome from here.
- [Jeremy] Okay,
hold your spots, guys.
Let's get Kanan safe.
- If I could not
stand there again
that'd be great.
-I don't know if I got the shot.
-Let's check it out, guys.
-Oh, man.
- [Ken] That was wild man.
(all laughing)
- Packing it up.
Going to Magnolia, guys.
- [Crew Member] As soon as
we can get all of our support
over to Magnolia,
we'll start sending
Block up over there
so as quick as we can,
as safe as we can.
- So, the inside
line didn't work.
- [Brian and Ken]
The outside line didn't work.
- I don't think we've
ever had a situation where
we've had a back-to-back
incident.
Like a figure eight is something
that's plucked right out
of a real Gymkhana course,
so hopefully we get through it.
If not, this doesn't
make it into the film.
- You ready?
- No.
I could block something.
Let me know.
If I don't do the
full figure eight,
this isn't really usable
so I gotta make that.
- It's technically the most
difficult of segment to do
in the film here
and it's a big ask of Ken
to be honest with you.
When you look at the switch
from paved surface to wood
to grippy surface.
As he turns in, he's getting
more grip on the front,
and it's almost
impossible to control.
- [Crew Member]
Jeremy, we are in the car.
In the car rolling.
GoPro's about to turn
on and do warm-up.
- [Jeremy] Thank you.
- [Crew Member]
Brian, Ken will be
on race coms in one minute.
(engine starts)
- Ken hit the wall yesterday.
It happened twice so for me,
there's nothing to say
he won't do it again
because we haven't done
anything different to the car,
we haven't changed the tires,
we haven't changed
the road surface.
(engine idles)
- [Crew Member]
Brian, radio check
on race coms.
- [Brian] Radio check.
- [Jeremy] All right let's
go ahead and warm up, please.
Clear for warm up.
- [Crew Member]
Please turn on all cameras.
(engine revving)
- [Crew Member]
Car is at one.
- [Jeremy] Great let's
stand by for Fischer, please.
And
- Rolling camera.
- Rolling, guys.
- [Brian] Rolling rolling.
- Yes
- [Jeremy] Okay car's
on the move in
Three, two, one
Action, action.
- [Brian] Fuck.
Okay car's resending
to you Derek.
- Hey, Derek, the rear win seems
to be flopping in the wind
pretty bad.
It looks like one of
the extensions popped.
- Okay, copy.
We'll come up with one.
- [Brian]
All right, guys.
Just checking out the truck,
so standby, please.
- That was one of those
moments where I said,
"Man this is so gnarly."
This is so much pressure.
This is like I'm having
to get within inches
of that wall or
but I have to.
Like, I don't have a choice.
- Car's on the move, Jeremy.
- I think Ken's got a little
PTSD from that corner.
- [Derek] Car is back at one.
- [Jeremy] Brian, 30 seconds.
- [Brian] Ten-four.
- [Jeremy] Good?
- [Crew Member] Yeah, good.
- [Jeremy] TI?
- [Eliza] Yes sir.
- [Jeremy] Diego.
- [Diego] Good here.
- I'm ready.
- [Brian] All right, Jay,
we're at P1,
so we're ready to go.
- [Jeremy] Copy that.
Thank you.
Okay, car's on the move in
- [Crew Members]
Three, two, one
action, action.
(engine revving)
(tires screech)
- Nice driving, Tex.
(Jeremy laughs)
- Hell, I can't make it any
better or more wild than that,
so I hope you're happy.
- That was good fucking work.
That was rad.
That was rad.
- Video review.
- Why couldn't I have
done that yesterday?
Jesus.
(laughs)
- Let's watch.
It was nice.
Super aggressive
through the middle.
It's just super fucking
nice in proximity.
- [Ken] I think it looks
good because it's wild.
- [Brian] It looks really good.
- [Ken] It's like
a figure eight to a
- And it's a natural obstacle.
- Yeah, and you can tell
it's small town America.
- [Brian] Its pretty good.
- I can't do any better.
As long as you got what
you need on camera.
- [Brian] That's
fucking really good.
(Ken sighs with relief)
- Attention, everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That is officially a wrap.
Thank you, Texas.
- Thank you very much.
- (crew applauds)
- I'm stoked, it really
In the end,
it all came together,
although it didn't seem
like it was coming together.
- [Ken] Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
- Now it's interesting because
we got Mexico left to finish.
And I think Mexico's
the one that
maybe we haven't put
as much thought into it
as all the other ones.
- Two weeks from now
I'll have sombrero
and one of them
carpet things over me.
(laughs)
I'm seven hours into Mexico
having gone a grand
total of 100 yards.
- Mexico could end
up being the killer.
It's like that could be
the one that we're all like,
"Oh", so
I'll just have to build bigger
jumps or something for him.
- Could suck a little bit but-
Matt, you got a few seconds?
- [Matt] You can cut that
curb, bring it like that
so that if he hits here,
he can ride up onto it.
- But there's still
one trick on my list
that I haven't figured out yet.
(car revs)
It's a figure eight
where it's a double
proximity front and rear.
It's 24 feet.
Then the truck's
17 feet or 16.5.
So when you have three
feet on either side,
but you'll sick on camera
but you fuck up and
you're hitting a building.
and you're
hitting a building.
(static)
(car drives away)
Yeah so, so far we've got
Detroit's in the bag.
LA was crap but
we somehow made something of it.
Sweden was solid.
But the thing is, I think Texas
is the most important
thing we shoot.
Call Ken Block.
- [Voice Command]
Calling Ken Block.
- There's a lot riding on
Texas because the Hoonitruck
is supposed to be the
greatest moment in the film.
The thing here that's
interesting is that
it looks so different
from what we've done before
because it's small town America.
- The U Drop Inn,
The Tower Station,
as we call it.
It's quite an icon since
the movie Cars came out.
All three of the cars
movies have had a likeness
of this building in it.
We had over 20,000
visitors here last year,
actually sign the book inside
and it's due to the popularity
of Route 66 to some extent.
A third of the people
that signed that
registration book in there
were from foreign countries.
Run run run
with the railroad ♪
When their backs are turned ♪
- You know, we're so used
to shutting down San Francisco
but I think there's
a really cool
'Dukes of Hazard'
toughness of this
that we've never done before
and fits perfectly
for the truck.
Yeah so when we set
out to build truck,
we had so much success building
the Hoonigan the Mustang
and the reason we
built the Mustang,
there's an audience that
loves looking at rally cars
but there's an even bigger
audience that likes looking
at muscle cars and then
with that same thought,
there's an even bigger
audience that likes trucks.
The number one sold vehicle
in America for decades
has been a truck.
- Have you ever driven a truck?
A proper, like, American truck.
Not like a little, like,
"Oh this is our truck,
"we're towing a
caravan in Europe."
Like, it's not really a truck.
You know what I mean, like
Letter frame, big dumb V8,
ice cold air conditioning.
And like, oh man, the old GM's,
under the steering wheel,
there was a little
vent and you were like,
"What the hell is that for?"
It was literally to
blow ice cold air
in the summer.
Trucks are amazing.
Get yourself a truck.
- So it's a prep day.
It's our shake-down day.
The truck itself looks awesome.
The actual level of this
truck is really good.
- [Brian] The
Hoonitruck is something
we've been working on for years.
When it stands by itself,
you don't realize how big it is.
It's so wide,
we actually have to put
on space saver spares
just so we can get into
an enclosed trailer.
Its just a massive vehicle.
The truck from ground
up was designed to be
a Gymkhana car.
It's got huge 20 inch wheels,
bigger than anything
we've ever run
because it fills
the Fenders right.
It makes it look like
a Hot Wheels car.
All the body panels have
been built out of aluminum.
It took a ton of work.
It's not something you
just stick into a press
and something comes out.
The chassis is four different
parts so you can take it apart
if you crash it.
The engine in it was
prototyped for going to the
Ford GT super car which then
went on to win Les Mans.
- As long as it performs
today and the engine's good
and we've got a few
flames and it sounds good
then we'll be ready
for tomorrow morning.
- He guys, our trucks
about ready to fire up.
If we can all stay
clear of it please.
- How do I start this again?
- [Brian] The button
that says, "Fire."
(laughs)
(car starts)
- Oh Brian.
Bad Brian
- Jeremy, you happy?
- In life, yes?
- Okay good, we're going hot.
- [Brian] That
looks batshit crazy.
There was like, dust
flying from everywhere.
- Sounds nice.
Okay thank you.
Would you just pull up here
and we'll just check the data.
- It sounds actually
really sick.
It's weird because you're
looking at it and you're like,
"That sounds like a
Les Mans prototype car,
"but looks like a truck."
Like it actually doesn't
have that V8 sound
- but it sounds batshit.
- Good.
- I love the smell of all
new parts getting roasted
for the first time.
- So we're ready and there's
an adjustment we can make
on the antelope to
give you more boost.
- [Brian]
The entry cut says yes.
Yes, more boost.
(Ken laughs)
- More flames.
(car whirring and popping)
- The smoke pouring out
of the bed of the truck
is just fantastic.
You realize we're not
getting new tires.
Do you realize how fast
those tires got roasted.
You should get on the
phone with Toyo right now.
- So the truck also
known as Hoonitruck.
This is our hero
vehicle for Gymkhana 10.
This is the final part.
So this truck has to be amazing.
This video part
has to be amazing
and if it doesn't break the
internet at least in our minds,
then we failed.
- There's still one trick
that I have on my list
that we haven't figured out yet
which is sliding the back
of the bed of the truck
underneath something.
So I'll have to bring
in a prop to do it.
I don't know what
I'm looking for yet.
I want something that
we can slide under.
It's kinda perfect.
So what I'm thinking is
he just comes through,
slides the rear underneath here.
And if we wanted to
we could even put some stuff
on the back of the truck
to extend it all
the way to the bed.
It's 42 inches.
His is 40.
- Well I've had it a long time
but I had it loaned
it out to a friend.
- [Crew Member]
It's not something
we could rent from you?
We can get it out of
here for a few days?
- Well I don't really rent stuff
but where you gonna take it to?
- To Shamrock.
- [Roy] Take it to Shamrock.
- [Brian] You got any 30s
like model A's or anything?
That's for my own personal.
I build some Hot Rods and so
- Yeah I've got one
you'd really love to see.
Put that on there.
- [Brian] Oh that thing's cool.
- [Roy] That's cool.
That was done in
Hollywood, California.
- That is awesome.
I love meeting guys like
Roy and I could tell,
when he was first talking to me,
he was saying things like,
"Oh yeah, I got an old Ford.
"It's a 30 pick-up,"
and I was like,
"Oh, is that a double A?"
And then he just dove
right into it and was like,
"Check this out."
"Check this out."
It makes me realize that
I will eventually be him.
Like, that really
is just future me.
Every town has
those local heroes
and I think local
heroes are like
such an important
part of car culture
because its the stuff
that gets you into cars
is that other dude that
had that cool Hot Rod
or that cool muscle
car or whatever.
It looks so cool.
(birds chirping)
- [Crew Member]
I'm coming over Matty.
- Standard pre-first
shoot jitters.
You just really anxious
to get going.
- [Crew Member]
About three or four minutes
away from pulling this
truck out the back.
So that you know.
- Right now we gotta
wait till nine o'clock
before they can close down 83
because there's actually
a bit of traffic.
It's like the most cars I've
seen in town so it's like,
"All right, let's just do this."
- Guys and girls if I
can have your attention
just for a few
quick moments here.
For those of you
who I haven't met.
My name is Jeremy.
I'm the First Assistant
Director here.
This is Brian Scotto,
he's our Director.
We've got eight or so officers
with our production staff.
If there is an issue or
somebody crosses the street
and our race car's going,
someone drives out
or there's a dog in the road,
our code is "Bogey,
Bogey, Bogey."
If we don't get any response
for some reason for Ken,
who might not be
able to hear us,
X's.
X is stop
he'll shut it down.
As we've seen there's
a lot of gravel.
We have ear protection here.
We have eye protection here.
We do not want anybody to
lose anything along the way.
- Are you gonna
get in the truck.
- No, no (mumbles).
- Bye, bye, Daddy.
- [Ken] Bye.
- There might be some
pedestrians here.
If we can just ask them nicely,
please do not take any pictures.
We don't wanna say the
word 'Gymkhana' to anyone
so if anyone does ask
what we're filming,
just tell them we're
filming a commercial.
We are using
a new vehicle today.
The first time we're using it.
It generally should
not be on fire
so if you see it on
fire let us know.
A little bit of fire
out the exhaust is cool.
Anyway thank you everyone
for coming out here
and it's gonna be a
good couple of days.
- [Ken] The thing
with that truck is
it's bigger than
anything else drive.
- [Crew Member] Permission
to move the car Jeremy.
- Yes sir, lets take you
to P1 and stage there.
- [Ken] And it's
way longer behind me
and there's a wing sticking off.
- [Jeremy]
The car's going to P1.
- So how close I
can get to things.
- Warm up tires.
I just don't have that spacial
awareness with the truck yet.
- All right I'd like to
request full lock up please.
Let's hold all traffic guys.
Full lock up please.
- [Brian] That bird actually
scares me taking off.
- [Jeremy] Okay bird's
in the air guys.
Picture's up.
- We do a couple tests.
Sure, great I can slide
around a parking lot
but when it comes to putting
it in a bad situation,
I don't know what it's gonna do.
- [Jeremy] All right,
here we go guys. Standby.
- [Brian and Jeremy]
And, three, two, one
Action, action.
(car whirring and screeching)
- [Jeremy] I'm just reviewing
a little footage here
to give any flying
adjustments, guys.
Keep it locked.
- [Brian] So the goal for the
first trick at the U Drop Inn,
is to get the truck in
proximity of this Route 66 sign
painted on the pavement.
The angle I'm looking
for is this drone,
the GoPro mounted on the sign,
and Hert who's inside the diner.
Yeah, it certainly looks good.
I was wondering if
we could just get it
at a little bit more
angle through here
and just see how that looks.
- I don't know what
the consequences are
if I hit the curb.
- [Brian] If you
have more angle,
it just puts more of
the back of the truck
over the curb which
will just make it appear
like you're deeper in
even if you're not.
- [Ken] Copy.
- Let's go.
- [Jeremy]
We're going again everyone.
Happy?
All right.
Here we go, guys.
Car is on the move.
[Brian and Jeremy]
And three, two, one
Action, action.
(car whirring and popping)
(car screeching)
- I like it way better.
- [Jeremy]
That was definitely good.
- [Brian] I like it way better.
- [Jeremy] He did hang
tail over the curb.
- Can we see that again?
Hert can you come over here?
Hert's shot's dope.
This is Hert.
He's got a dog named Don.
He drives an RX7 but he's
dubbed the Twerk Stallion.
He's also kind of
an Instagram star.
Hert's always willing
to put himself
between a car and a hard place.
Because he's a driver,
because he drives himself,
he understands what
a car's gonna do.
He kind of can see it
before it's happening
and that's really what
gets him the shot.
Recoil 3 we shot in Tacoma he
was six inches from the car.
I don't even know if he really
knows how to use a camera.
But he still gets the shot.
- Play with no concept.
We just wanted to have
some fun with our boy Caleb
but he didn't bring
his car
- [Hert] This is
the second take.
- Bring it up.
- [Ken] (laughs)
Yeah it looks dope.
- The only thing we
don't have is the Manji
coming up the road.
- Oh you wanna do that.
- We never got that.
- Okay guys standby standby.
- [Jeremy]
The cars the move and
- [Brian and Jeremy]
Three, two, one
action, action.
(car whirring and screeching)
(classical music)
- Whoa.
- That's way better.
- The funny thing
with Texas is that
we're all dealing
with a new vehicle.
- [Brian] That looks
better over the curb,
You wanna stay hot?
- [Ken] Yeah let's do one more.
I wanna learn fast
and I'm pushing him,
"Hey, I wanna go again.
"I wanna go again."
- You wanna see a replay?
- No I wanna stay hot.
- Staying hot, let's go.
- We were sorta rushing to
try to get another take in.
- Ready ready?
- [Jeremy] Here we go, guys.
[Jeremy and Brian]
Three, two, one
- And Ken was like,
"I wanna go again."
- The take before that take
actually looked really good.
It wasn't translated back to him
that he was actually probably
as deep as he needed to be
so he tried to go
a little bit deeper.
(car slams into curb)
- [Hert] Oooh oooh.
- [Brian] And went
right up into the curb
- and broke the wheel.
- [Hert] That's the one.
- [Jeremy] He's up on the curb.
- Copy that.
Up on the curb, Derek.
Back wheel, back right rear.
Let's get that race
team down here guys.
Keep it locked.
- [Brian] Well, I guess
that's the consequence.
- [Crew Member]
It looks like it's gonna
need a definite fix on the car.
- That's what happens when
we push to go too quick
because there's no time
to review so it's like,
"All right, yeah."
"We'll go."
- For no reason too.
There was no reason too rush.
He was just getting ancy
so he just pushed it.
And that's the
most painful part.
Like, it's one thing
when you break something
when you're trying to
achieve the right take.
And then realizing we
already had the right take
but we just rushed too
quick into the next one.
So I'm just learning as we go.
- One, two, three, Jump
- Jeremy for Pierre.
- [Pierre] This is Pierre.
- Pierre,
you're ready ready, yes?
- [Pierre] Yes we are.
- Okay, copy that.
We're just waiting on KB.
As soon as he lands,
we'll do a quick
walkthrough, drive through.
And then we gotto
get into this.
We're getting off schedule here.
- So I had you coming this way,
and the reason being is that
you have grass on your exit
on both sides here.
And you would lose traction
coming across the grass.
So I thought it'd be better
if you were to loop this way.
Because that will give you
a nice wild ending on it.
- Right.
- So that one first,
and then this one and then exit.
- I like that.
- All right let's do it.
- [Jeremy] All right.
Here we go, guys.
Car is on the move in
[Brian, Derek and Jeremy]
Three, two, one
action, action.
(car revs and pops)
(car crashes into pillar).
- [Jeremy] And Derek to nose
inside Rusty Parts here.
He's coming your way.
Got loads of front
left damage here.
- Front left damage.
At the end of the day,
the difficult thing is,
it's a real fine line this.
If we don't take risks
we don't get a good shot.
- Okay Jeremy, do you copy?
- [Jeremy] Go for Jeremy.
- [Derek] Yeah Jay, it will be
a few minutes to repair this.
Say 45 at least.
- [Jeremy] Okay copy that.
- Par for the course,
you know.
Just get ready.
The boys like it, don't they?
Gives them something to so
Come on then,
stop fannying around.
- All right so the issue is
we really have one
more try at this.
- Why because you don't
wanna crash the car
more than one time?
- Well, no, we don't
have enough parts
and if anything happens,
tomorrow's the more
important thing.
So the problem with this is,
realistically this was
really way more slippery
than I thought it would be,
thus it sent it out wide.
And I don't mind the wide part
but when I even got
on the gas at all,
this was way grippier
and brought me in tight
so I can either come in shallow
and hopefully I get on the
throttle and it pushes me out.
Or I can go wide and try
and gain some speed and then
handbrake again.
That's gonna be ugly,
though.
- But that's safer.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- So do I do that
to hopefully get
a safe line through it
so we can get this
and maybe move on.
- Honestly I think
the hero shot here
is coming through
that archway here.
Not as much the entrance in.
So I think the best
set up to get us out.
- Okay so I'm gonna do the
- Compromised entry
with a strong exit.
- Do you guys all agree?
- Yes, lets send it.
- Great, thanks.
- [Jeremy]
Car's on the move in
- [Brian and Jeremy]
And three, two, one
action, action.
(engine revving)
(car tire into pillar).
- [Ken] Fuck.
- [Jeremy] Popped
drivers left tire.
Keep it locked please, guys.
You should probably
come on down D.
- Yeah she's fucked.
- [Brian] Drone can land,
we hit something I think.
- Well, any time something
like this happens.
Anytime.
Even a small mess up.
Like, I feel like I've failed.
It's that difficult on me.
I don't like to not be
able to do something
that I set out to do.
- [Derek] Axle.
Steering arm.
The tie rod's bent.
- And if I hit this again,
we have a part to
fix it one more time
but then we're on the end of
- [Brian] If that won't
work again, we're out.
- Although I hate that I
kind of had two fails there,
we just had to move on and be
smart about the production.
I knew I could come back
and get it right, hopefully.
- [Brian] Hey, Jeremy.
What if we left here
and then come back here
tomorrow after the snail.
- Could we make that work?
- Yeah.
- Hoonigan production designer
and kind of resident pirate,
Matthew Holt is at Shamrock
Airport setting up a new trick
we haven't tried before
and we're calling it.
The Snail.
What it is, is a decreasing
radius slide that spirals
through a maze of cars that
range from 50 to 70 years old.
What Ken really doesn't wanna do
is hit any of these 76
cars with the Hoonitruck.
Mostly because I want some
of them for my collection.
There's a Model A I want.
There's definitely an Edsel
wagon that I really want.
There's an F100.
There's also a couple Falcons.
Part of a new project
that we're working on,
I probably shouldn't
talk anymore about,
I kind of all of a sudden
want a really old Lincoln.
This one's nice.
That one's nice.
I love that one, too.
And also that one.
Basically all of these are mine,
so I'd prefer Ken
not to hit them.
- So I've known Ken for,
let's see, about an hour
and a half now.
The first time we were ever
introduced to each other,
was earlier they were
prepping the truck
to make a location change
when I pulled up.
I met Brian maybe
a year and a half ago.
Something like that.
And asked me if I was interested
in coming and hanging out.
Seeing how it operates and my
answer was the obvious one.
It was, "Uh, Yeah."
So all you have to do is
just get in the ball park
and it'll set down on it.
NASA docking latches
for your
- He's on like one
of the biggest shows
on the Discovery Channel.
- He's like Mr. Texas.
- Oh really?
So here I am and it looks
like I'm the Sheriff
of this fine town,
at least for the video.
- [Brian] And I would put
one between the two tires
just looking forward.
- What we're trying to do here
is to make sure
that Ken has enough room
to slide underneath the truck.
The truck is exactly 42 inches.
Our race car is 41.5,
So it's a little too close.
- [Brian] Well the problem is
that it's measured from here.
The vehicles actually up
like three inches over there.
- This cobblestone road
has a little bubble
so he's even higher
than the truck is so,
even our mission was a 42
on the scale makes sense.
- [Derek] We've go two rear
spoilers and two tailgates.
- [Ken] Okay.
- But it's the impact on
it that could do to it.
- Yeah it might mess
a lot of things up.
- The main plan is not to hit.
- So what we're gonna do now
is take the front wheels off
so that the truck does this.
- [Crew Member] T for Dan.
- I've been re-thinking
the whole thing.
I think what we should do is,
I think we should put the truck
in the middle of the street
because I've measured it.
On the floor it works.
The thing that's
giving us an issue
is the crown on the road.
- Back up a little bit more.
He wants to ride in the middle.
- But also, if we
backed it down,
then you could actually shoot
down the alleyway at it too.
I think it may be
a blessing in disguise.
It just a little bit
for us to get there.
- Brian is he gonna
do donuts around that?
- Yeah, and he's gonna get
part of the back of the bed
underneath that.
It's gonna be pretty rough.
- Would you wanna throw
a donut up there first
just to feel it before you
do it with high consequence?
- No.
- No? Okay.
(truck drifting and popping)
- [Brian] Greg are we safe?
Do you have visual?
- He's safe.
- [Brian] Copy that.
Resetting to one.
These earbuds
did not help at all.
- So I've done two perfect
shots and you're like,
- "It's not perfect enough."
- [Brian] It's still really good
but I want it to
be more perfect.
- It's snot perfect enough.
- So what I was saying
was your commitment
on the first entry is so strong
but if you move
that back two feet,
you'd get this and that.
If you are down for that
level of commitment.
Can we get playback
going in the truck?
- [Ken] See I think you
have enough to cut around
to make it look really good.
- [Brian] Yes we do.
- [Ken] And I don't
mean cut around
because we're trying
to cheat something.
I mean cut around
Yes I can do it
again, is it worth
All I'm asking, do you
have time and money?
- [Brian] Ron, do you think
What would you do?
- What would I do?
- (Ken laughs)
- I'd say go again.
- Mikey what would you do?
- [Brian] Mikey you
wanna see this again?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] I asked the two
people I knew would say yes.
Let's do it.
- [Jeremy] All right.
Let's standby.
And rolling.
The car's on the move in
[Brian and Jeremy]
Three, two, one
(engine revs)
(engine roars)
- [Brian] Somebody's
finally having fun.
(classical music)
- Mikey get in.
Get in.
(classical music)
Don't pull the door.
Pull from the window.
There you go.
Hold this.
(birds chirping)
- [Ken] This is in my mind
the most important
element of the video.
- [Eliza] Can you see?
- [Kanan] Yes.
Yeah.
- [Eliza] Are you buckled?
Are you belted?
Okay.
- [Ken] Visually,
dynamic and big.
So it's a very long drift.
It's quite technical.
Some parts of it it are very
narrow into a center axis donut
and then a quick transit
over to the donut box.
- [Eliza] Ready?
Action Kanan.
- All right.
Poor Kanan.
- [Crew Member] That
doesn't look sketchy at all.
- [Eliza] Okay,
that's good enough, guys.
We saw what we need to see.
- So I'm not sure how hard
the wind was blowing
(wind howling)
It was 50 or 60 miles an hour
but you're tugging a huge crane
with a UTV swinging
from the bottom of it
and a person
physically in there.
Like, we don't
wanna kill anyone.
- [Eliza] To pull
him away from Ken,
just if we need to,
what's your plan for that?
- [Adam] I'll get
him up high enough
where the truck will clear it
and then I'll take
off swinging this way.
- [Eliza] Yeah, he's
along for the ride.
Okay, great.
Thanks, Adam.
- [Brian] I wonder if
anyone's had the conversation
with Kanan about how
bad this could end up.
(Ken laughs)
- [Brian] Come be a production
coordinator at Hoonigan.
We might try to break
T6 in your spine.
- [Greg] I'm just glad
I have my job and not his job.
- The whole approach of it
really was a lot of memorization
of walking around and viewing
this thing from every angle
that I possibly could.
Because I wanted to do
it all in one movement.
(dramatic music)
(car crashes into
another vehicle)
- [Jeremy] Okay hold it Eliza.
- [Eliza] Hold, shut her down.
- You know, this is my second
day driving this new vehicle.
- [Ken] Make the wing
hang off long they said.
It'll be great they said.
[Justin] I should be in
an SUV with the AC on,
on a phone call
and instead I'm
playing American Sniper
inside of a rusty
ass pick up truck.
- Yeah the expectations are high
but the difficulty is
also fairly high too.
Since it's the end of the video,
it's not gonna look good
unless it looks dramatic so
- [Jeremy] All right,
car's going at one.
Okay, here we go, guys.
- [Eliza]
We all ready ready?
- Ten-four.
- Roll cameras.
- [Jeremy] Three, two, one
Action, action.
- That was tight.
- Oh my God.
(engine roaring)
- [Eliza] That looks
really awesome from here.
- [Jeremy] Okay,
hold your spots, guys.
Let's get Kanan safe.
- If I could not
stand there again
that'd be great.
-I don't know if I got the shot.
-Let's check it out, guys.
-Oh, man.
- [Ken] That was wild man.
(all laughing)
- Packing it up.
Going to Magnolia, guys.
- [Crew Member] As soon as
we can get all of our support
over to Magnolia,
we'll start sending
Block up over there
so as quick as we can,
as safe as we can.
- So, the inside
line didn't work.
- [Brian and Ken]
The outside line didn't work.
- I don't think we've
ever had a situation where
we've had a back-to-back
incident.
Like a figure eight is something
that's plucked right out
of a real Gymkhana course,
so hopefully we get through it.
If not, this doesn't
make it into the film.
- You ready?
- No.
I could block something.
Let me know.
If I don't do the
full figure eight,
this isn't really usable
so I gotta make that.
- It's technically the most
difficult of segment to do
in the film here
and it's a big ask of Ken
to be honest with you.
When you look at the switch
from paved surface to wood
to grippy surface.
As he turns in, he's getting
more grip on the front,
and it's almost
impossible to control.
- [Crew Member]
Jeremy, we are in the car.
In the car rolling.
GoPro's about to turn
on and do warm-up.
- [Jeremy] Thank you.
- [Crew Member]
Brian, Ken will be
on race coms in one minute.
(engine starts)
- Ken hit the wall yesterday.
It happened twice so for me,
there's nothing to say
he won't do it again
because we haven't done
anything different to the car,
we haven't changed the tires,
we haven't changed
the road surface.
(engine idles)
- [Crew Member]
Brian, radio check
on race coms.
- [Brian] Radio check.
- [Jeremy] All right let's
go ahead and warm up, please.
Clear for warm up.
- [Crew Member]
Please turn on all cameras.
(engine revving)
- [Crew Member]
Car is at one.
- [Jeremy] Great let's
stand by for Fischer, please.
And
- Rolling camera.
- Rolling, guys.
- [Brian] Rolling rolling.
- Yes
- [Jeremy] Okay car's
on the move in
Three, two, one
Action, action.
- [Brian] Fuck.
Okay car's resending
to you Derek.
- Hey, Derek, the rear win seems
to be flopping in the wind
pretty bad.
It looks like one of
the extensions popped.
- Okay, copy.
We'll come up with one.
- [Brian]
All right, guys.
Just checking out the truck,
so standby, please.
- That was one of those
moments where I said,
"Man this is so gnarly."
This is so much pressure.
This is like I'm having
to get within inches
of that wall or
but I have to.
Like, I don't have a choice.
- Car's on the move, Jeremy.
- I think Ken's got a little
PTSD from that corner.
- [Derek] Car is back at one.
- [Jeremy] Brian, 30 seconds.
- [Brian] Ten-four.
- [Jeremy] Good?
- [Crew Member] Yeah, good.
- [Jeremy] TI?
- [Eliza] Yes sir.
- [Jeremy] Diego.
- [Diego] Good here.
- I'm ready.
- [Brian] All right, Jay,
we're at P1,
so we're ready to go.
- [Jeremy] Copy that.
Thank you.
Okay, car's on the move in
- [Crew Members]
Three, two, one
action, action.
(engine revving)
(tires screech)
- Nice driving, Tex.
(Jeremy laughs)
- Hell, I can't make it any
better or more wild than that,
so I hope you're happy.
- That was good fucking work.
That was rad.
That was rad.
- Video review.
- Why couldn't I have
done that yesterday?
Jesus.
(laughs)
- Let's watch.
It was nice.
Super aggressive
through the middle.
It's just super fucking
nice in proximity.
- [Ken] I think it looks
good because it's wild.
- [Brian] It looks really good.
- [Ken] It's like
a figure eight to a
- And it's a natural obstacle.
- Yeah, and you can tell
it's small town America.
- [Brian] Its pretty good.
- I can't do any better.
As long as you got what
you need on camera.
- [Brian] That's
fucking really good.
(Ken sighs with relief)
- Attention, everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That is officially a wrap.
Thank you, Texas.
- Thank you very much.
- (crew applauds)
- I'm stoked, it really
In the end,
it all came together,
although it didn't seem
like it was coming together.
- [Ken] Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
- Now it's interesting because
we got Mexico left to finish.
And I think Mexico's
the one that
maybe we haven't put
as much thought into it
as all the other ones.
- Two weeks from now
I'll have sombrero
and one of them
carpet things over me.
(laughs)
I'm seven hours into Mexico
having gone a grand
total of 100 yards.
- Mexico could end
up being the killer.
It's like that could be
the one that we're all like,
"Oh", so
I'll just have to build bigger
jumps or something for him.
