Ken Block Dead At 55

Often people post a response like this if someone who has not done much of a contribution to the world, or became kardashian famous etc... passes away. Ken however was genuinely skilled and help create some amazing spectacles. He also wasnt a box. This comment isnt warranted. Everyone wont know who he is, thats fine, but then just ignore the thread.

Finished in the top 10 in a WRC event. With more experience he could have done better.

Re: IOMTT, I've lost a few friends in that event. And a few in the Dakar.
 
I only knew this guy from his viral videos, I had no idea he was that old.
 
RiP. A great man will be missed by many, but most importantly by his family. Loved the YouTube series with Ken and Lia, such wholesome stuff.
 
OH wow
Very sad
RIP Ledgend and thanks for all the cool motoring video's

There was a South African that raced it too but broke his back and never returned to the Isle, Hudson something.

He broke his back at Thruxton, Hampshire. He went back to racing the following year.

Edit: He broke his back in 2012 at Thruxton, he broke it again in 2015 at the TT and started racing again in 2016 including the TT. I don't think he did much after 2016 winning wise.

I just remember watching him in 2015 and he fell on the second lap (can't recall the class). Didn't sound too serious but never heard of him again after. Later read he broke his back. But it's been years, the Connor Cummings post reminded me of it. Connor Cummings is just a class of his own, massive crash, broke his spine and numerous other limbs. Comes back and still races it every year and finishes in the top spots. That takes some serious balls! Doubt I would ever get on a Bike again after the spill he had.
 

I remember watching his first few videos, another legend gone, RIP dude.
 
Live by the sword, die by the sword..
