It’s like just 1:44 long. Click on it. Go for it, nobody’s looking. I’ll look out for your boss. You know, in HD.
There you go.
Ah, memories:
“Only 305 Views so far, but this one will end up with tens of millions of viewers, soon enough.
Ten minutes – full screen and 1080p please:
So that’s what was going on when the Bay Bridge was shut down that day.
I’m already looking forward to the director’s cut, you know, with outtakes and errors and broken stuff.
And just for the record, San Francisco Film Commission, the kids these days don’t want to see scripted drama crap like NBC’s Trauma, they want to see something interesting. So the sooner you stop subsidizing crap like NBC’s Trauma, the better off we’ll all be…
“DC and Ken Block present Gymkhana FIVE: Ultimate Urban Playground; San Francisco.
Shot on the actual streets of San Francisco, California, GYM5 features a focus on fast, raw and precise driving action. Filmed over four days, director Ben Conrad and his team are back to work on their second Gymkhana production and delivered the entire city of San Francisco as Ken Block’s personal gymkhana playground. DC Shoes also provided fellow DC athlete and longtime Ken Block friend, Travis Pastrana, to make a cameo appearance on his dirtbike, and S.F. resident Jake Phelps of Thrasher Magazine fame also makes a cameo as Block hoons S.F. in his most incredible Gymkhana yet.

And here’s some context:
Jumping Taylor in a Fiesta. Wow:
And in the Financial, on California, near some fake cable cars:
More in Potrero Hill, on Bike to Work Day 2012:
And again in the Financial, being filmed by a radio-controlled chopper whilst being recorded by a Saturday-working, Financial District Dell Jockey:

The first vehicle (you know, the one with the driver who, post-accident, took off with a quickness) struck the Toyota, which struck the Honda, which struck the Ford, which struck the other Toyota.

No injuries and maximum humor, you can’t beat that.
Have you ever seen a funnier accident? I haven’t.
After I took the shot, I yelled out “transit first, bitches” and then rolled away on a 21 Hayes busmy melon-farming bike.
“Sharing my aggression is what that I do Every day I’m riding the ‘Tour de Fuck You’ Banging on hoods and kicking in fenders a right-of-way-aholic on a permanent bender Running red lights at the fat intersection Cutout seat protects my erection [SO TRUE] You like the bird, in my hand? Take two from a motherfucking track stand on my bike I’m on a motherfucking bike I’m on a motherfucking bike”
Well, not actually because this particular car vs. bike from last year happened to be the impatient cyclist’s fault, because he went across against a red, because bike riders don’t have as much time to cross as they used to, owing to the newish dedicated cyclist light Oh well.
Anyway, I would have said that Santa installed all the new hardware, but I was beaten to the punch by Dale Danley / Panhandle Park Stewards, who naively wonder why the Panhandle Bandshell went away despite the fact that the “partners” of PPS are the same people who made the harmless bandshell go away.
(So I don’t know, I’ll consider the Panhandle Park Stewards ranking someplace north of that horribly corrupt Willie Brown S.L.U.G. vehicle for the while. Enjoy your “partnership” with the corrupt RPD, and the NIMBYed-up NoPNA, and the millionaires’ kid’s school as you garden, Deutsches Jungvolk und Bund Deutscher Mädel.)
Anyway, you can look forward to the flashing lights of traffic cams when errant drivers err at Fell and Masonic. (UCSF shuttle van drivers beware, beware!)
[BIKE NOPA has an update. The Examiner has a report indicating the cyclist has only "minor injuries." Could it be that the car got it worse than the guy on the bike?]
A small Ford Focus ZXW station wagon collided with a cyclist at the intersection of Fell and Masonic this afternoon.
This red Cannondale fixie had its fork torn in two.
See how they’re commemorating the end of the aughts, the end of 2009?
