Back in September, the much-anticipated Gymkhana 3 finally debuted to the eager masses. It was the debut Gymkhana video for Block’s all-new Ford Fiesta, and he did not fail to impress, powersliding up the steep walls of France’s L’Autodrome. It was a technical wonder, a fantastic feast for the eyes even though we’re sure there are more than just seven minutes of footage.

Just before the end of the year, Ford and the Monster World Racing Team released this brief video containing more of Ken Block’s antics from the Quick Pro Surf Contest back in September.

The video contains so much of what we have come to love about Block and his constant stream of videos. While Gymkhana 3 contained in the way of build up and fancy camera angles, this latest video is a simple, visceral vision of what Ken Block is capable of. At just three minutes long, it is packed with plenty of power as Ken Block’s 650 horsepower Fiesta tears up the track, taking a screaming female reporter along for the ride (and it’s quite entertaining to watch).

Tired of watching Ken Block roast his tires? That’s OK, as there is an abundance of dirt bike and motocross action too ad daredevils jump, flip, and fly over Block’s badass Fiesta. Throw in some sexy dancing ladies and an all-night after party, and you’ve got a great way to waste three minutes. Oh Ken Block, you always find a way to entertain us.
