You can just imagine how insane the level of competition is on this tour, with the likes of Nate Adams, Dany Torres and Robbie Maddison to name a few, plus rising stars of the future on show, the tricks being thrown are just silly! Each stop on the tour is a spectacle of lights, music and anything and everything freestyle motocross.

Block and Pastrana in their Alpinestars race suits!

The guys at Alpinestars have been busy doing some crazy things. Pimp my ride pales into insignificance when Ken Block and Travis Pastrana are around. There has been a bit of Alpinestars and DC team rivalry over the past week between the God of rally car stunts and the freestyle motocross legend, they never fail to disappoint. They’ve been racing around in their souped-up rally cars, Pastrana made it to the top of Mt. Wahington Auto Road in a record breaking six minutes and 20.47 seconds. The previous record was set by Frank Sprongl in 1998 and no-one has managed to get near him until Pastrana came along and did it on his first attempt. To be fair, he was driving a Vermont SportsCar prepared, BFGoodrich Tires-shod 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car but nevertheless it’s quite some feat! Watch out for next year’s Climb to the Clouds where Pastrana is sure to be gunning to beat his own record.

Ken Block has been freestyling it up in his new Ford Fiesta! Check it out at www.auto.dcshoes.com/team/ken-block/, its pretty rad, lets just say it’s not your average Fiesta! Like the figure skater of rally car driving, Block dances his way round L’Autodrome in Linas, France, in the third edition of the increasingly popular GymKhana vids. The rally driver’s epic obstacle filled runs have become big hits on youtube and no wonder, Block’s precision and control is something else. In ‘The Ultimate Playground’ Block shows off his skills like never before, this one is the best yet.
