Re: Pro Rally Driver and Hoonigan Founder Ken Block Killed in Snowmobile Accident
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.

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.
Re: Pro Rally Driver and Hoonigan Founder Ken Block Killed in Snowmobile Accident
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.
