183 Kph Through Massive Whoops! Ken Block Searching for The Limit of his Suspension

- Trophy Trucks need to handle some of the most extreme terrain and high speed abuse of any racing racing vehicle on the planet. The suspension set up plays a MASSIVE role in the effectiveness and performance in these trucks. In this episode, we are back in Plaster City, CA to do some shock testing with King Shocks. To aid in our R&D (and because its sick AF) we brought out some high speed cameras, and a shot over gimbal system mounted to a Ford Raptor. This way, you can see all of the suspension articulation and functionality of this truck in slow motion.

Rest in peace you legend!!! You have made your mark for anything on 4wheels
And snowmobiles 😂
Skateboare,guitar & snowboard
This comment could have done without these 2 fkn baffoons correcting you. Rip to the 4 wheel legend
Legend on any fast extreme sports like dirt bikes, snowboarding, snowmobiles, if it has wheels he could whip it
Just anything with wheels really
For several months I couldn't even go to his or Hoon channels. A man that meant so much to my adolescent years, hit pretty hard. May the days we have on this plane be filled with excitement ànd joy. That's what life's all about. R.I.P. KB you will never be forgotten
Rest in Peace, Ken. This will be one of my all time favorite vid ✨️
This is some of the coolest motor sport stuff I've seen. Unreal that suspension 😮😮😀😀
Agreed. I love watching desert racing. Sadly, I dont live in the desert.
Go watch bj Baldwins old videos
Brandon is the King of shocks
If you’re super into this stuff, watch Dust to Glory (original Baja 1000 documentary) and watch guys like Robbie Gordon and Rob MacCachren.. Those drivers will leave you jaw hanging on the floor.. Ken is awesome, but he is brand new in this world and still has a long way to go… Awesome to have him becoming part of this scene though
Look at the awd Mason mcmillin truck, it's worth twice what this truck cost and mcmillin is one of the fastest. Also harley letner is insane to watch
Rest in peace. An absolute legend
I don’t know about anyone else, but I just need a shirt with Zach’s face on it yelling “BAJA UPDATE!!!”
A sticker at least! lol
Pretty insane that he passed away. I honestly thought it would be driving that hoonicorn on the side of that mountain but he’s made such a positive impact in the car community and really showed builders and people in general what we can do or build with normal cars. We all love you KB
Rest in peace Ken you were a real legend for all the world of motosport
Showed my wife the technology in bump stops she wasn't fazed I was blown away
The scenes showing the suspension in action is amazing honestly
"Bump stops". What an advanced technology they are. Model T probably had bump stops as well as ever other vehicle created.
Awesome video as usual. And thank you for all the support on our Pikes Peak Sport Quattro that we brought with LCE Performance this year. We just finished a unique video about it. Thanks again!
I'm starting to see you more often in the comments!
Shocks aside those hubs and control arms taking an absolute pounding too! I love watching these trucks in slow-mo and it's insane how close they are to RC cars too when slowing down footage of a well set-up car
That's what I'm sayin! I can't believe the freakin hubs don't explode!
@@jasonsell8523 the Arnold Schwarzenegger of hub bearings
It’s mesmerizing watching all the suspension mechanics working
Exactly my feelings, I was going to say "in slo-mo it looks like a toy car"
You race professional grade rc trucks? Too?
Hats off the editor in this vids. Always killin it 😵😵
Maybe rephrase this :P
This kind of racing wouldn't be possible with out guys like Ken pushing the limits of design.
Awesome stuff Ken!
The slowmo is just about to be the best thing in this world
Nah. BJ
No. You are an idiot. The slo mo needs to go go. I want to see what’s actually happening.
That travel at 6:58 is insane, great shot! From an outsider perspective you never realize just how well these things are built to handle these terrains.
Easily the hardest part of the video. ROWDY
I thought 8:06 was an incredible look at how the suspension works in a similar way
Really impressive how a 6000lb truck can go that fast and easily fly over that type of terrain. And of course it has one bada$$, nutbar driver behind the wheel too, no offense intended there Ken. Testing out the limits of this new truck now is going to really pay off for you later.
As always, KEN FRICKIN' BLOCK JUST KILLING IT!!!
8:45 something did fall off at the front?
@@PavelKostromitinov gopro I think but I’m not totally sure. Nice spot, I didn’t notice it
ngl the new livery looks sick
There's not many things I'd rather watch than slow motion trophy trucks :) Great work
This is easily one of the sickest vids ive ever watched. Watching the suspension work on this rig is just amazing. It got me wanting to buy a Traxxas UDR since i cant afford a full size rig 😂
Do it!
Life goals - get shots like this. That truck looks unreal with that buttery slow mo. The whole thing was beautiful.
This thing looks like a mountain biker going over rollers. So smooth🔥
Everything in this video is sick, love that helicopter!!!
One of my favorite videos on youtube, Rest in peace you legend!!
CHOPPER + TRUCK DUO = EYEGASM. God damn I could watch that all day!!!
Nothing gets me more excited than a BAAAJAAAAAAAAA UPPPDAAAAAAATE!
I’ve always loved suspension and that’s some of the best footage I’ve seen. Amazing how the rear wheels follow the ground so well!
I really appreciate how you go into technical detail on how stuff works in relevance to what Ken Block is driving.
This is my all time fav video. RIP to the legend.
Love how Robby Gordon been doing videos like this for years
Awesome, watching the suspension articulate in real time and slow motion was intoxicating. Went through the Mojave last week and had loads of fun on some sand woops but nothing like this. Excellent vid.
I love how stable the heli goes at 9:05
As usual the editor is killing it with these movies clips sprinkled in.
Nice to see a CEO that actually knows their product. King shocks. Like passionately knew what everything was. Aslo Ken being observant and saying they make sheet rock down there. Thats a boss thing guys. Take note.
That Scene at the end with the matching helicopter Was Hard af. Respect to the HHIC and his ventures. & is there a Possibility of an RSQ8 or Amaranger prerunner next season?
The artistic ability to get those monster claws aligned perfectly and the colors, just a very KOOL shot, to say the least...
Came to say the exact same thing!!! Gnarly shit
If I know Ken and I'd like to think I do, he'll probably hoon a Raptor next :v
So cool to see the shocks work in slow motion. Its mind blowing
That was some of the best slow-mo footage I've ever seen in any video. Very well done team
King: How much wheel travel would you be needing Ken?
Ken near the Mexican border: Si.
Dude them slo mo shots were SO sick!🤙🏻👌🏻
This suspension travels more than a pilot. Well done boys 👍.
The slow-mo is very cool to watch! Can't wait to see how you guys do in the race!
Incredible, I could watch this all day😱
Fuiste de los mejores ken Descansa en paz ídolo 🙏
Lots of congratulations to King Shocks for developing such an optimal suspension for one of the most hard core type of off road ever.
I can't think of anything more satisfying to watch than a well built truck skipping whoops in slow mo. Poetry in motion 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
...it was amazing to watch the roof of the truck barely move (stay level) as KB hammers it through the whoops at the same time see the axles go from bump stop to full extension, sweet -theautojunkie-
Rest In Peace Ken 🙁
Man to think your gone .😢 you have made history in the world of Motorsports
Thanks for this realy interresting view on the suspension of those trucks.
It is cool to see the backwheels go down to keep contact as long as possible!
I like this technical stuff!
More! More! More!
There goes the action cam flying from the front bumper at 8:46? 😀
The little go pro that couldn't.
Rip
Want to see that footage...
It’s crazy how much this just looks like forza in slow motion. Shows how far technology has really come
The SloMo clips are sick! 😎
Ultimate camera work because of suspension visuals. Shoot more videos in this mode! Fantastic!!
gx 470 in the back ground !
your new truck works amazing @ken
8:46 RIP Gopro
ooh so that's what that was... I was wondering what got yeeted out of the truck...
This is Beautiful!
This is Perfect!
right now I cant not think of the best words to describe you my man. Loosing you has made my tongue numb.
But one racer to another....... I FEEL YOU.............! WE FEEL THE SPIRT. and we will try our best to continue your legacy.
Just amazing the video work , seeing the suspension travel in slow motion and the truck skipping across the desert is so cool . The question is how does your body feel with all the different G forces your going through ?
You know… if Zach was holding the Go Pro,suspended below the chopper, screaming BaHa, as you hit those whoops, that would be an awesome clip.
Mesmerizing to watch! That suspension is wild. You can see the entire tire (lol) shake and wobble on the wheel after slamming into those massive whoops.
Ken Block pulling off an epic stunt and coupling it with epic filming. My Thursday is now complete.
Ya'll need to get that truck into Forza. I mean, C'MON, you can literally race in the Baja in the new one, it needs more trophy trucks!
8:43 flying parts here and there (including Ken Block himself), but this beast handles whoops like a dream..
Not just the suspension work is insane, also the tyre deformation! :o
it was a go pro
@@afonsogouveia2109 Yep, it looks like one with a holder arm ;)
I just wanna see what the go pro captured.
Visual Poetry 👍
This man got me into these trucks
people: "this desert has the shittiest bumps on the planet"
Ken: " If I go near 200 km/h the suspension will absorb it"
🧠
Rip
I hope you live a live as good as on Earth up there
Manh...I truly enjoyed this.
All that slo mo is the best automotive video I’ve ever seen
Zac : Is there a sweet spot where it kinda floats, speed kida wise ?
Ken: As fast as possible.
10:40 🤣👍
183 KPH. SOUNDS FASTER THAN SAYING HE IS GOIN 113 MPH. I GUESS. 🙄🙄 THE AMERICAN WHO GREW UP READING MPH ONTHE DASH .. TOO FUNNY 🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's nothing funny about, KPH is just better and easier to visualize lol
This just made my day watching this
Caught me off-guard with the Bowfinger reference at 2:50 😂
Keepin’ it BEASTY!
Can we talk about the chopter's pilot skills? That was LOOOOOWWWW
Great to see ya out there try'n out a Trophy
Super Cool you guys✌️
That shot with the heli beside is incredible! The body of that truck hardly moves, shows how amazing that suspension is. So sick!
The slow motions sequences are just E-P-I-C !
Beast mode… Luvin seein u in a trophy truck. Always have liked em.
Best video on you tube!! Thank you for helping people like me understand !!
Epic. And I could watch suspension all day long.
2021 baby!!! That suspension is cloudy! 🤘
Been waiting for this one
Wow! Awesome suspension technology!
I don’t know what I appreciate more the driving the truck or the camera work all spectacular!
Each bypass tube is set at a different level on the shock body so that when the shock piston starts to come up, each bypass is set harder and harder (higher pressure) so that the shock can move faster and more fluid at extension but becomes stiff enough at compression to soak up the big air landings . Also when those bump stops,,,,STOP working and max out, you feel it in the race car!! I rebuilt and tuned many Fox, King, Bilstein Blackhawks and procomp shocks for our team and for customers.. fun stuff. Working with those giant shocks most times takes 2 even 3 people LoL... Great vid guys, kick arse at the BaJa 1k....!
How can you not love Zac
Bad ass video guys, keep it up!
RIP Ken, Legend.🕊️
This is the first time watching the legend since the tragedy….what a hero!!!!!!!! Gonna be missed
RIP to such a legend. Great quality video. I am working on getting my videos to this quality. It is just so entertaining and educational. Itbis just amazing.
woooow trophy trucks in slow mo... hypnotic
This is so f$&king bad ass!! Best slow mo ever and makes you appreciate the intensity of the suspension. Epic music too!! 43 is a warrior!
I love these FKN trucks. The way the suspension work it art, especially in slow motion.
THIS - IS - EPIC
It's crazy how those thing keep the wheels stuck to the ground like they do through the whoops...
It's super majestic in slow mo👌
That’s amazing how all those shocks work 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Its amazing in slow mo watching that suspension awesome job guys
Great shots🤩
PAPAS & Beer ! KEN, the Best of the Bests! Legend! Miss You, Bro!
This slow mo is like a mad dog. Excellent :)
The go pro falling off at 8:45 then being ran over was cool
