Ken Block Dead At 55

[Superjakes]

After watching some of his gymkhana videos on Youtube with my 4 year old (who really loved it) recently, his passing is making me feel a bit more emotional than I expected. The guy was an artist and will certainly be missed.

I know him mostly for his stunt videos being in just about every EDM Music video on youtube. True Legend and an amazing driver!

RIP Ken, legend who despite all the fame still kept humble and firmly focused on the racing.

Live by the sword, die by the sword..

And I mean than in the most positive way possible.

Absolutely, to die doing what you love best beats passing away in frail/high care due to a lingering disease

Dude could drive.

So sad. The world has lost a legend.

Will always remember him, same with Dave Mirra who passed a few years ago.

Ace driver.
May he rest in peace.

He was living on the edge was just a matter of time. RIP

Sad but maybe a message to Travis Pastrana.

These guys are just built different. They don't fear dying. They fear not living life to the fullest.

 

[zoozi]

Damn. But what a life.

He lived so many exciting lifetimes in one, what a ride, RIP!

Saw this on TikTok and thought someone was taking the piss with fake news.

Google then confirmed. RIP. Wonder what happens to the Hoonigan now.

I can only assume, should her heart still be in it, Lia will most probably be the new Ambassador. The company itself is family owned if not mistaken.

Edit: Seems to be more of a collaboration. Seems it's a 3-way partnership

Hoonigan's Ken Block, Co-Founder and Head Hoonigan in Charge, Brian Scotto, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, and Jennifer van Dijjk, Hoonigan President, will remain with the combined company.

Same. I go on Ken Block YouTube binges with my kid from time to time. Sad day, and the next session will be extra special.
