Ken Block (born November 21, 1967, in Long Beach, California) is one of the co-founders and recently appointed Chief Brand Officer of DC Shoes. Block has competed in many action sports events including skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross, and most notably rally racing.
Ken Block co-founded DC Shoes with Damon Way in 1994. They started DC Shoes as a small company creating athletic shoes for skateboarders. Ken Block believed that as with other athletes, skateboarders needed special shoes to compete at high levels. Block and Way began to market these shoes and the business began to grow in the action sports world. In May 2004, DC Shoes was acquired by Quiksilver Inc. This transaction made the company part of a $2 billion action sports family. Today, DC Shoes is known for its wide variety of action sports gear including shoes and other apparel. To market these products Ken Block and other DC Shoes associates have signed a world class list of action sports athletes to market, develop signature lines, and enhance DC Shoes’ ever growing business.

What can u do with a 150.000K Subaru Impreza Rally car:
Very good reviews but one downsite: “Customers should be absolutely sure that they purchase a GPS speed camera warning system if they want to stay completely legal in the future, but they should check that the system does not include a laser detector.”
Valentino Rossi, widely acknowledged as the greatest motorcycle racer of all time, may have a second career on something with more than two wheels. As diehard MotoGP and Formula One fans are already aware, the Italian superstar has proven to be just as fast around a race circuit when piloting a Ferrari F1 car as he is on his Yamaha motorcycle, and the Scuderia has made numerous overtures to The Doctor in an effort to get him to cross disciplines.
Apparently, outgoing Fiat Group Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo reiterated once again earlier this week that it would love to put Rossi in the driver’s seat of one of its scorching red F1 cars, saying:
We want a third car [in F1 next year] and I would do everything to have Valentino… When he wins this year’s MotoGP, enough is enough, he must also win in Formula 1.
So, is it going to happen? We have no idea, but there is some conjecture that if Rossi continues his winning ways by capturing his tenth World Championship on two wheels, it might make the decision to try his hand at F1 a bit easier to make.
I think that Rossi wil race a ferrari in 2011, with or without the 3the car.
Lets hope so!!!!!.
On the heels of Ken Blocks insane Gymkhana videos and the groundbreaking snowboarding/rally part to close out DCs MTN.LAB 1.5 video, the DC Co-Founder and Rally Team Driver has joined with Subaru to make the worlds fastest cat track operation automobile for backcountry access for snowboarding. Dubbed the TRAX STI, this is a new teaser video from the test session for the highly-modified, snow-ready (to say the least) car. Full specs and the full story at dcshoes.com/auto.
If the point of driving a supercar is to be seen to best advantage, then the owners of these camouflaged ultimate automobiles are doing it wrong. Then again, “stealth” is a relative term – and one of the best ways to stand out from the crowd is to blend right in.
My TT is a 1.8 (225 Hp) 1999 grey with 19″ strada wheels.
Next step is to lower it with some udjustable suspension and a rear 3.2 diffuser, after doing that i want to safe money for a 3.2. MarkII Audi TT, like this one:
