RIP Ken Block

Fuck :(

Condolences to his family and friends. Dude's a legend
 
Wow this sucks. Hopefully Pastrana keeps the Hoonigan legacy going.
 
Real deal Motorsports internet Icon :rip

Very sorry to see this and condolences to his family and his Motorsports family. :rose

Ken. Your skills behind the wheel recognized here as something special. I think you rocked those effectively.
Seems like a life well rocked. :applause
 
I'm bummed. RIP.

I love rally racing. Block figured a way to race and build a successful media business out of promoting his sport. He understood the power of YouTube very early.

He never stopped racing. He competed in the U.S. rally championship just last season and did a few WRC events in recent years. A couple years ago he did a world tour racing his Escort RS Cosworth, a car he loved.

Its been ten years since Gymkhana Five. I still can't get over that first shot of the empty Bay Bridge.

Hats off to a life well lived.

I'm sure that he rolled the dice far more often than most of us, it finally caught up with him but I'm sure he knew the risks and accepted them.

:rip to a Legend and somebody who squeezed every drop out of life.
 
Iconic. He will be missed.

Ok, cool celebs need to take at least a month off from dying.

Bad week.

How did he convince the city to allow this? Amazing that they did, who paid for it.

RIP
 
Noooo. :(

Ken Block was one of my favorite modern personalities. I keep links to all ten of his Gymkhana videos and the two Climbkhana videos. I'll have to go watch them all again in his honor.

I'm hoping his daughter Lea can somehow carry on now.

He will be missed.

Here's a great documentary about his 2022 Rally Season that is worth the time to watch all the way through:

Thank you guys for the links. I loved watching his insane videos. He was truly a Legend. I loved his Bay Bridge videos!!!

RIP
 
 
A loss for sure. I’ll never forget those Pike’s Peak videos. Detroit was pleasantly terrorized by the Hoonigans.
 
So sad.

Everyone know he co-founded DC Shoes and was a huge skateboarder? I had no clue.
