Last year critically-acclaimed photographer Jim Mangan tapped professional rally driver Ken Block to produce Blast — a book of gorgeous photography that saw the DC Shoes co-founder kicking up dirt across the Utah desert. Now the two are back at it for a stylish short film of the same name. Presented by NOWNESS, the seven-minute piece offers yet another look at Block’s insane driving as he and Mangan return to the eerie 75-mile stretch of desert that separates Capital Reef from Goblin Valley.

Check it out above and head on over to Mangan’s site for a look at some of the Blast photography. Blast is available now from Dashwood Books for $45 USD.
