Get Up Close and Personal With Ken Block in Virtual Reality
A version of Gymkhana 9 has been released with a full 360-degree, virtual reality experience.
This is the first installment of a promised version of Ken Block’s Gymkhana 9 video, allowing you to stand in the middle of all the action if you have a virtual reality headset. Even if you don’t, you can use YouTube’s 360-degree controls to look all around the video footage, while getting a behind-the-scenes perspective of the filming. It even has Block explaining how he did that jump in front of a moving train.
