Ken Block was the “buzz driver” for 2009 and I can say that momentum will not slow down going into 2010!!!
Atta boy Ken and keep em coming!
This video below is on point and I really enjoy the music, the vibe, just all of it, solid and what a great way to show all he’s done in 2009…

Received this video via email from the man himself, here’s what he had to say about it:
Happy New Year!
Monster has produced (thru Mad Media) a beautiful video clip with my 2009 highlights. This clip features shots from the Rally America Championship, Gymkhana TWO, Baja 300, Top Gear Inyokern shoot, Northstar-at-Tahoe, GYM2.1, and some testing in my MKII Escort.

This is one of my favorite edits ever done with my footage. Hope you enjoy it.

My friend JOSH just told me it’s a life goal to make it to Skywalker Ranch, I have to agree!!!!
I’m gonna try and make it there too!!!!
Only problem is I’m gonna HAVE to bring my son at THE LEAST!

He sent me this video by Philip Bloom and I thought I’d share it with you, Josh is an amazing photographer based in Orange County. He enjoyed this because it’s shot with Canon 5DmkII conformed to 24p and the Canon 7D shooting native 24p.

Check out the whole behind the scenes and story of Philip Bloom’s, lucky!

It’s always a bitter sweet event that’s long, tiring and just spansive…
To be honest I’m not a big fan of Vegas, but regardless I love seeing my friends, cool cars and creating memories and of course getting business done…

I MC’ed a Falken Tire drift demo, hosted a LiveStream (go check it out but be warned it’s long and after hours gets NUTS) show and made memories…
