Shocking news indeed. I remember watching him at the x games rally cross events and later when he made gymkhana videos. Real talented guy and all around adrenaline junkie.

RIP Mr. Block

I may have seen him before this, but my first real memory was him driving a very annoyed James May around an airfield in the desert somewhere on an episode of Top Gear. His driving ability was freakish.

Whoa...hadn't seen anything on it until now.

I never followed any of his videos very closely or would call myself a fan, but I have the utmost respect for his driving ability. He was a wizard behind the wheel whether he was doing an entertainment video or competing in a rallycross race. His car builds were really amazing as well and the fact he brought his daughter along into his corner of the automotive world is pretty cool as well. I hope she sticks with it now that Ken has passed.

Saw him on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage and he seemed to be a pretty down to earth family man.

First thing that popped up on my facebook feed last night was a post that he made yesterday morning about how proud he was of his daughter following his footsteps by building her own car.

RIP Ken Block

RIP. Just the other day I was watching him and his daughter, she just got her license and he gifted her a project car that they've been working on. At 16 she has some race experience already but still had to pass the test like all of us.

RIP, real bummer. He was a massive figure in the car community. I pray for his family.

Hit hard. Been a fan of his since I seen him on rob and big/fantasy factory.

Grew up wearing DC’s.
