Papa needs a new pair of shoes, replace papa with Ken Block and this is true in more ways than one, new shoes by way of a new Ford rally vehicle in Rally America and WRC and NOW, his new DC Pro Spec 2.0 and matching graphics to boot on the boot!!!!

Loving these new Pro Spec 2.0 boots and shoes!!!
This is my new shoe for sure at Formula Drift events and more… racing meets street!!!! stoked!
Saw and teased these at X Games last year and here they finally are…

Here’s some info about them here:
Also, I like the KB X HG X DC means Ken Block X Huck Gee X DC Shoes… sick…

While over the past week, Mr. Block has been a bit more focused on getting the MWRT Ford Fiesta dialed in for its maiden gravel race at 100 Acre Wood this weekend, today he will also be breaking in a fresh new pair of DC Shoes Pro Spec 2.0s. Ones that just happen to match his Alpinestars suit and the Fiesta’s livery (a total coincidence, we swear!).

The Pro Spec 2.0 is a new driving shoe from DC. “When creating the concept for this shoe, I wanted to make it something that was not only functional, but looked more like a skate shoe,” says Ken Block. To achieve this, the Pro Spec 2.0 still offers a rolled heel to allow for proper pedal modulation, but has the appearance of a thick sole. But don’t let it fool you, despite the profile of this shoe, the actual sole is still very flexible allowing great pedal feel, while still staying streamlined enough to prevent getting caught up when tap dancing across the three pedals. While the Pro Spec 2.0 is not FIA homologated like the Pro Spec 1.0, it is still legal in most racing series, including Rally America. Plus, it’s half the price, weighing in at an affordable $100.

The MWRT Livery edition Spec 2.0 will be available soon, but for those who can’t wait, or would prefer to be slightly more subtle in good ol’ black, check out the Pro Spec 2.0s now at the DC Store or at VIVID RACING.com

Formula Drift pilot and 2nd place overall in 2009 Ryan “Hampshaa” Tuerck and Drift Alliance filmer Andy Laputka just released a new video that I KNOW you’ll enjoy!

There’s no music just the sounds of the car, it’s not on a race track, no super flashy graphics, it’s almost like capturing a wild animal in it’s natural environment… The animal being Ryan Tuerck & his prepped 240SX the environment being virgin pavement and a backdrop NOBODY’S ever seen in Ryan’s home of New Hampshire, hence the nickname “Hampshaa”!!

I really like the vibe of this video, short and sweet and even notice one of the big drifts has NO rubber laid down prior AKA 1ST TAKE SHOT!

Love it!
Congrats “Hampshaa” and Andy on a great fun film for drift fans!

Hello ya’ll I’m a traveling fool as you know, but you don’t know I don’t check baggage, seriously I HATE the checking of the bag, the fees (even though I just was upgraded status) and most of all I HATE wondering if my bags are gonna make it, so I carry on…

OGIO has stoked me out with a new Layover model bag, I said loud and proud, I like it loud! (go figure)
My last model Layover has been great so I’m sure this one will serve me properly, Thanks OGIO!

Out with the old, in with the new…

At MAGIC last week Rogue Status hooked me up with a couple tee’s…

As well as Mega, Rob and the fellas from Black Scale.. One of the shirts is 5th Column X Black Scale even

I live in suburbia-ville Arizona and finding unique and non-chain eateries is a little difficult but NOT impossible…
There’s always GREAT Mexican food but how about a SUPER RAD DELI???

Here we go, “The Deli” in Queen Creek is the name and fresh ingredients, family owned and GREAT food is the game….

About a week ago my friend Marc, my son PJ and I hit it up and grabbed some great food there…
The menu @TheDeliQC

We split 2 sandwiches:
Roasted Chicken Breast & Brie Cheese w/ Avocado, Cucumber, Greens and Sweet/Hot Mustard on Ciabatta
&
Roast Beef & Melted Pepper Jack w/ Caramelized Onions, Bell Peppers & Creamy Horseradish on a Baguette

Oh yeah had to catch a local AZ beer w/ lunch, NIMBUS BREWERY Old Monkey Shine nice mellow English Ale…

Heres the son of the owner, nice guy and I noticed the wine grapes so had to see the whole sleeve, pretty rad if you ask me…
Wine and cheese…

Told you kind of hidden and random but seriously nothing is hidden about their food…!!!! If you EVER make it out to my “neck of the desert” we’ll have to go!

Parker leaves you with a crazy face….
