Ken Block's 14y/o Daughter Gets Drift Lessons from Formula Drift Champ -Vaughn Gittin Jr.

- When we set out to build the Vanilla Ice inspired, drop top 5.0 Fox body Mustang, we had one major goal in mind - Teach my daughter Lia to drift with it. For her instructor, I enlisted the help of my friend and Formula Drift Champion, Vaughn Gittin Jr. As it turned out, Lia would get the FULL drift experience. Breaking parts, track side modifications, running out of fuel, and persevering through it all to finally nail the final trick. The Borla Exhaust completely changed the tune of this Fox and not surprisingly, the Toyo Tires we ran held up through the entire day!

I wonder if she realizes how many full grown adults would kill for an hour of this.
Right!
Right a lot of people would do anything to ride with her
@@araybeezy1653 not driving instructors tho lol
Yeah, I have to go into an empty parking lot at night to do this and even then there’s a chance that it’ll end quick.
@@GhostOfDamned very much.
This is bittersweet to watch, Ken was a goofy fun guy and an absolute beast behind the wheel.
RIP Ken, Lia and Lucy, thoughts out to you and the rest of the family.
I never realized until he passed how much him and scotto say don’t die 😢
who else is 14 wishing they had parents like this
you mean rich parents? keep wishing lmao.
Or you can be 14 and be happy with what you have
I mean im 14 my parents aren’t professional racers but they support my motorsport addiction
@@kjohnsonphoto285 Nice
@@badrdbzb you don't need rich parents... you need a rwd car das it
she is gonna terrify her driving instructor to get her license when she starts drifting around every corner
Was about to comment this
you can't just drift any car
@@brockshrubb4357 sure you can if you try hard enough
@@brockshrubb4357 Don't bet on that! A friend thought he was about to see me die when I came around a curve in my 1994 F-150 with all four tires smoking & leaning heavily.
They need to make a video of that would be nuts
When she goes to the DMV to take her drivers test she’s gonna go full drift mode 😂
Instructors not gonna know what to do
@@marsh499 imagine the instructor starting to talk like a rally instructor or somethin
driving instructor "now be careful its raining"
lia: " hold on to your shit"
Lol
Lmaooo ong gon make em shit on Dey self
I imagine in a few years some poor boy is going to try and impress her with his car and how he can drive it not realizing who she or her dad is.
Most guys think it's impressive to drive manual lol
@@devilman7670 to be fair, when I learned I thiught i was special
Idk about that, let any teen boy behind the wheel and they can usually give it a good kick out.
@Austin Quillen sad isn't it?
@Austin Quillen A G R E E D
Me when I was 14: yay a shirt
Her: God dang it is drift car
Well done Lia! Next time an RX car? 😀
@@juuIpods bruh you literally replied to a comment with a copy and pasted comment lol
@@devinkolka8002 E-brake set too close to the steering, might hit it when turn.
@@Smasheer123 there was a whole war under that one lol
Her: Ewww a Mustang 😞
That epic little victory donut at the end was priceless.
When ken said “why doesnt the handbrake work?”
Zac saw his job flash before his eyes
The girl is good! For me that´s the 'right way' to do it, not with handbrake! Really nice!!
Ken knows sh*t happens
Normal 14 year old girls: I could get an iphone by myself
Lia: DORIFTO
I want to dorifto
More of an off-road, King of the Hammers, Rock crawling 14 year old myself.
Me 13 i need knew wheels for my 240
derobotlab ejecto drifto 😂😂😂😂😂
Nick- Andre Ejecto Drifto cuz
As a fellow dad I felt that joy when she nailed that last run. I can only dream my kid will want to do half the awesome stuff your kid does. Your a awesome dad and your providing one hell of a life for your kid. Way to go dad!!
Bruh first you gotta be rich like him. Second, have connections with Formula D drivers. So yeah, keep on dreaming 🤣🤣
@jereen moni islam It wasn't handed to Ken he earned his way in life and all of his success... He knew what he wanted out of life and went for it! The most successful men are men who pursue their passions... and that's exactly how Ken lived, and the fact that he passed those same passions on to his daughters is amazing! When your Dad is Ken Block, you dam well better get the best of the best training if you decide to take the same path in life... I absolutely love the fact that Ken got the chance to do this with Lea before his passing... God Speed Ken Block, you will be dearly missed by so many RIP legend...
Not only uncle Zack and her father feel proud for her,somehow ALL of us feel proud for her
Vaughn Gittin is low key the cool uncle that everyone wants
I want to be that uncle, not like full crazy off-road racing champion or FD champion but id love to be a professional fun-haver
@@canyouopopop3012 being a professional fun-haver, probably something that everyone should try to be
Fax
@@canyouopopop3012 "a professional fun-haver". a dope ass sentence!
😂
I can imagine that Lia felt a lot of pressure this day. Imagine to have 2 world class drifters around you and all is recorded the whole time. My greatest respect for her!
Yess!
Bru that’s her dad, she used to it and around it 24/7🤣🤣🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
@@pat293kass but the Other Guys not. And its all recorded
Pressure? She's 14!
I may have had Jim fowler as my "uncle" and got to be around kick ass snakes etc growing up but imagine having your dads close friends all he motorsports legends
Holy shit she's a soldier. So many cameras, so many people, and she's still tough as hell.
Im an elementary teacher and I am going to show this to my 11 years old student as an example of determination and achieving goals.
Very good content. Thx!
God, you must be the best teacher on earth.
@@captainautismo5452 I try ! But its a work in progress haha.
I mean, I agree but for her case it's also about having money to go do it and a supportive family. Not every 14 year old has Ken block as an awesome dad.
@@caseym6272 drifting in itself is a very expensive sport/ hobby. But I think her attitude and determination can translate for my students to their activities, sports and passions.
And good connections that lead to opportunities..
I can't imagine how Ken is feeling.. these moments are priceless and could never be replicated, I hope he gets to see her live out this dream
Mo-hammad Abunaser 💯
After she becomes one of the best, Ken MIGHT hand the keys of the Hoonicorn too her 😌
That would be sweet if she stuck to rwd
So sorry😢😢😢
@@pbtv4985 Rallye lost a legend!
Other 14 y/o girl: learning to use lipstick.
Lia at 14: learning drifting on stick
More like learning to drive stick by drifting lmao.
She did donuts 3 days after first trying stick
Not sure why but this video makes me cry. RIP Ken, Godspeed, Lia.
Me for my 14 th birthday: HOONIGAN merch
Lia: a goddamn drift car
I can say I was doing the same things at her age lmao
Yeah.. Lia is like : hold my energy drink to show you how to do some doughnuts.. she is so serious here still previously practicing with Ken now with Gittin Jr.. damn ! So, i'm guessing by the time she hit 20, she will be smoking & burning tires in front of police office, then chase in fast & furious style thru city on sparkling rims & things on her GT 500 ! just kidding here guys !!.. He He specially now after couple of beers, but very cool scenario huh ?!! ;0)
Sure ken block
She's lucky to have grown up the way she had. 90% of normal kids never will live the life she has. Zero worries tbh..
I’m 15 and got new wall panels for my room.
My daughter’s nine…I guess I better start building her a drift car
I'm nine too
DO IT
Get a Miata, bmw e36
Don't buy very cheap stuff from eBay and u good
Goodluck
I swear he is THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD!!
V: “no Bugatti sounds like this Lia” 🎵
L: 🙄
I was laughing so hard and celebrating with you guys after that victory burn out and cone destruction. What a perfect ending. That had to be one Ken's most proud father moments. Your daughter overcame adversity that was beyond her control and gave us a great show.
Man, the editor went crazy with those Call of Duty Hit Markers at the end lmaooo
I loved the one at 8:44
Yeah they got great sense of humor at Hoonigan :D
Missed all the handbrake hits throughout the whole video.
It's too close to the steering wheel.
The energy from everyone after she hucked into the transfer and aced it was so good. That’s what drifting is all about!
I truly hope the team and friends/family keep helping her grow so sad Dad went to the next stage ahead but she is in good hands.
Anyone else feel like the Hoonigan Cinematic Universe is building towards Lia eventually driving the Hoonicorn?
Bro eventually all those cars will be Hers!! And she’s probably gonna be the only one Ken will let drive them.
This comment is so dope but the partnership with Ford has ended, so the Hoonicorn is gone!😭
@lllllll he's got no partnerships at the moment, he's open to new partnerships tho
@@poordrunkard He should go for Mercedes (they have a deal with Monster already anyway in F1). I'd love to see him in a AMG GT R Pro.
@lllllll he's going back to Subaru for the 2021 rally season. not sure if he's sponsored by them again but that's what he'll be driving
As a dad, the smile of accomplishment on her face at the end was awesome to see.
The victory donut and cone run down at the end was priceless.
That was the part where it became clear to me that she gets it, she's having fun, and she's doing it for herself not just because drifting is what dad wants. Kudos to all involved.
E-brake set too close to the steering, might hit it when turn.
She must have hit her hands on that E-brake handle. Jesus I would reap it off.
What’s an E brake?
@Kevin037 in our country we have a handbrake, I believe you colonials call it an E-brake or emergency brake. I wouldn’t be pulling that in an emergency
Walauuuuuwei
@Kevin037 bro no need to gate keep its totally unnecessary
This is one of the most amazing feelings as a father. When your child does what you do for a living is amazing.
Look at how happy dad is! Getting to see his daughter do this was probably the best part of life right there
Ice: *Rollin in my 5.0*
Lia: *Driftin in my 5.0*
Also Ice : Loves his 5.0
Also Lia : Is disappointed because she only got a 5.0
@@mapmakerger3118 i dont think its a case of only, i think its a case of she doesnt like the 5.0
Great job drifting Lia!! You went full send! 🤘🔥
15:18 literally made my eyes well up with tears, so freaking awesome
Pretty sweet Vaughn and Lia got in on fixing the car, way to go guys! Thanks for involving the younger generation in motor sports as well, keep up the hard work!
I can see it in her eyes that she's passionate about driving/drifting, i bet ken is so proud of her
That epic little victory donut at the end was priceless.
so jealous of her she is younger than me and still have such an awesome ride
I'm 30 years older than her and I'm jealous.
I'm 14 and this girl is learn to drift with vaughn ...I'm jealous
@@LucasJ06 And the fact her dad is Ken Block
I have a drift built mustang, and I’m still jealous that ken block ain’t my father.
Don't be jealous of that krishna, be happy with what you have and use this as a goal to have one day.
As a father of 3 girls this video hit home super pumped for her and had a lil tear cuz I know how proud everyone involved was of her especially ken. Can’t Waite to see her progress.
R.I.P to the best father ever. Rest In Peace Ken 43 Forever 🤟
Professional fun-haver. That sounds like a nice job.
One of the best job descriptions. It’s up there with Travis pastrana’s “professional everything”
Pumped and proud to have played a small part in this build! 🙏 Thanks again for the opportunity! Great work, Lia!! 🏎🚀#MustangsThatDrift #MMequipped
Cool to see you guys helping out with the build! I have full MM suspension on my Coyote-swapped Fox and love it!
Ken, a message from a nobody to an absolute legend. Mad respect on getting your daughter out there, its really awesome to see the bond you have. Mine is almost a year now and hopefully I will get the chance to take her racing one day. Good on you dad.
As soon as she hit that figure 8 her confidence level shot up , that was awesome
Weight-lifting. Sprung unsprung. Bound rebound
The only word that can describe every aspect of this video is awesome.
I got a pride tear in my eye.
Star kids.. fast forward few years latter growing bigger who knows ? f&f mouvies, gymkhana stunts and shit ? damn.. what the hell am i doing.. ?!
Brings back memories of teaching my daughters to drive , the pride you feel when they figure it out and the smile on their faces. Best day, when they all get out on the track race each other... great job guys
I had chills on her last drift. As a dad thats the coolest thing to have. Great Job
Priceless
The man the myths the legend
she's learning the Takumi Fujiwara way, no hand break 👀
@@npx20 lol XD
Where's the cup of water?!
Her focus and professionalism is far beyond her years. It also helps that instead of daddy getting frustrated and saying something like...you're not listening, he laughs, claps and asks if she wants to try again. Awesome Dad!
I have a daughter and I can only imagine how Ken must feel watching his little girl drift like him. I really enjoyed this video.
Well done Lia! Next time an RX car? 😀
Legend says FIA will reply
to this reply
@@mostshortestname4234 what if they don't?
@Rambo John Foxbodies arent shitty
@@mostshortestname4234 ikr
@Rambo John bruh foxbody are cool
I feel like the steering wheel needs to be aftermarket and fit her size. The handbrake is stupid close to that 1980 school bus wheel.
That’s how you driver mod
Sure, but she benefitted greatly from it not working
Its just where they have it located foxbodies have small steering wheels
She did a great job with the big stock steering wheel and when they swap it out with a new smaller one then she should do even better. It looked like she had a blast and I think that we will be seeing a lot more of her in the future.
The wheel has a air bag, only one that will work on a fox body. Seeing how it’s a practise car for a 14 year old , they will keep it
Is it weird that I almost cried I was so proud of her? Such a great young lady with such an amazing team of legends!
Lia is crazy, she's so strong and so talented 👍👍 Wish I was as talented as she is. Greetings from Germany ✌️🇩🇪
I am really happy she is learning all of this. It's fun to watch her. But o I am so jealous. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see her in upcoming videos.
This is so wholesome. Vaughn has such a big heart, does a great teacher! Spectacular job from Lia's side! Epic teacher meets epic student!!
She's not even my daughter and I'm super proud of her. What a great kid!
“I don’t think the drain pan is catching that”😂
Just Vaughn's first little speech to Lia tells me he's a good man.
The original steering wheel 🤣🤣🤣
I have an 8 year old daughter... I am grinning ear to ear. That's one proud papa!
Seu pai vai deixar muitas sdds ..perdi mais um ídolo...desejo tudo de bom pra vc ...
The coolest dad on all the world
Best part was at 15:00 when Lia went beast "I'm gonna do what I wanna do, DIE CONES!!!!" Awesome!
I've never rooted for someone through a screen so hard in my life. Very proud of you Lia. What an amazing first performance drifting.
I remember watching this when it came out. Bet he was so proud
All the dislikes are from teenage girls that wanted drift/race/drag cars for their birthdays, but got iPhones and trips to the mall instead.
yup I agree
All the dislikes are from jealous jerks!
V: “no Bugatti sounds like this Lia” 🎵
L: 🙄
Full goosebumps and possibly a tear when she hits the second figure 8 and starts doing donuts, epic!
Ken as a father: “happy birthday!! Heres a mustang for you to drift! yesssss im so proud of you!!”
My father: “hey the mailman came, heres the light bill”
Damn lucky you I'm 15 and I gotta pay for my food unironically bruh
In the near Future:
Ken Block's Daughter Hooning the Hoonicorn!
Eventually she will get all Kens one-off hoon-cars as legacy.. right ? since every parent do things like this for they 'r kids.. ;0)
He's gonna struggle to give her the keys 😂
i'm just waiting for them to do Gymkhana 11 with ken in the hoonifox and lia in the hoonicorn tandem drifting.
Normal ppl when they get their license: YAY
Lia: *Tokyo song plays* DRIFTO
_[Speed Lover starts playing]_
@@Avetho *Speed Speed lover, countdowns over*
14 year olds dont get licenses
As a father of two, this got me in the feels.
I hereby state that my kids will not be able to drive on the road until they have done skid pan days and attended rally school.
Time to start saving some coin for the seat time.
Happy to see the father and daughters time well spent ....
This is heart warming in a sweet coolant mixed with tire smoke sort of way which I think everyone can appreciate at a time like this. Thanks Hoonigan and Lia.
How could anyone dislike THIS video. Seeing how well your dughter is learning how do do something that you yourself are good at and enjoy would be so rewarding as a father. 👍👍👍
People are just jealous sadly
@@ShoaibAli-qt4tw or hate Ken, or say it’s dangerous when they clearly don’t know a thing about drifting, plus they even clicked on the video
@@TriggerVR657 drifting can be dangerous, but nothing really bad happened when you fail lmao
@@nikodaq only super dangerous if it’s on public roads that aren’t closed, or not with the proper protection. Also, she did decent for her first time
@@TriggerVR657 that's obvious bro
Love seeing you guys teaching a kid, was fun watching her learn
Needs a smaller wheel asap. Looks like trying to drift with a bus wheel.
Yes! bring this comment to the top.
Fr I’m saying u made a drift car but can’t get a wheel
Fox's have small wheels they just put the aftermarket handbrake in a weird location
@@satansnarwhal Lia's 14 so I'm sure there's a big difference between like a 15' 14' or even 13' wheel. And it looked big for her. I couldn't find any info on the stock wheel size from a quick search but I think she still needs a smaller wheel.
AIRBAG! C'mon guy's..
It's soo cool that she's drifting ❤️
Watching her learn and accomplish that gave me goosebumps. GREAT JOB LIA!
She's a Quick Learner especially when your learning from the best Cheers Girl keep it up 💯✌️❤️
She ripssssss 🔥🔥 even i at 20 years old not even owned a car or drive a manual cars 🤣🤣
Well she is very fortunate to have a dad like ken wait not like Ken her dad is Ken block
@@Forever_Evolution i know..
Manual transmission is the best anti-theft device in 2020 for cars😁
@@GoblinUrNuts Lol the vast majority of stolen cars are crimes of opportunity by people that barley drive at all. Not masterminds from gone in 60seconds.
@@GoblinUrNuts then you should look up the compilation videos of people failing to get away in manual transmission cars. It's hilarious. PS also from the Ishbox that is Illinois. I'm all to aware.
1 day with Vaughan.... hoons the hell out of the mustang
Lia's driving teach: YOURE DRIVING LIKE A MANIAC WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO DRIVE?!
Lia: a team of professional drivers and the drifting world champion...
I love these people. She is going to do great things in life.
Naturally, I love the Mustang!
Ha! Hey Willie remember when I told you the kid made the tires bald on the car and you said it wasn't possible.?..I rest my case a full apology is expected.?.And what about the neighbors cat in the grill of the car? That video is still in the editing process
girls learn how to bake cookies, Lia learns how to make donuts.
i love how focus she is, she wants to Drift!!!!! and go Full send, you can tell she is a natural Drifter.
Her pops was so sweet and generous 💕 towards his lil baby girl RiP
I felt like a proud dad and it’s clearly not my kid! She’s a freaking rock star!
Girls during lockdown stay home see classes waste their time and there's lia on other side
Well done, Lia. You're not afraid to put the work into it and that's a big ingredient. I could see your future in your eyes and it is looking good. Nice work.
Cheers from Canada.
Coolest Dad in the world, most loving scene seeing Ken and his daughter drifting and driving together
I feel like everybody watching this wants a dad like him.
We must become those fathers
@@OrionsGarage that's a super smart point, HELL YE I WILL TOO
The amount of times i said “JHEEEEEZ” during Lia drifting is incredible. Like father like daughter lol!!!
Lia's gonna be one badass driver
I mean she already is
She gets a car, that is literally a DREAM for most car guys (and girls) that grew up in the 1980's/90's, and can't stand it. If you told me I could have only one of Ken's cars (and could not sell it), this car would probably be the one I would pick.
What’s next up to drive
Hoonicorn peeps around the corner like a creep: hey hehe
The Group-B ford RS 200 is pretty close in there as well.. ;0)
