Ken Block in fatal snowmobile accident

Kolyan2k · 01-02-2023, 11:07 PM

That sucks. I wasn't watching him, but remember him from top gear

Esteban · 01-02-2023, 11:55 PM

Here's a favorite vid with Ken and Capt. Slow on Top Gear, with a special guest. Saw this when it first came out.

Soul_Glo · 01-03-2023, 12:31 AM

Saw this on ESPN. RIP.

Same! I remember watching the first one when he was in the STI sedan and I was just mezmerized by his skill! I have watched all of his subsequent vids because of that first Gymkhana vid. Such a legend...such a massive loss

Artemis · 01-03-2023, 01:20 AM

R.I.P. Ken Block.

RichF90M5C · 01-03-2023, 01:43 AM

Very sad indeed.

Efthreeoh · 01-03-2023, 02:31 AM

Very sad news indeed. Hopefully he went out on an adrenaline rush, which it seems was mostly what he sought and enjoyed. Innovative and Cool dude. RIP.

M5Rick · 01-03-2023, 03:28 AM

Was shocking to read this, he was just 55. RIP.

M-technik-3 · 01-03-2023, 03:58 AM

Shame but seemed to be enjoying life. Sure going to make an impact on his daughter Lia who he was helping break into youtube levels that he had.

///M Power-Belgium · 01-03-2023, 04:51 AM

RIP Ken - RIP legend

forumlurker · 01-03-2023, 04:52 AM

From Jeremy Renner nearly dying and now this...

2023 is off to a rough start.

floridaorange · 01-03-2023, 06:50 AM

Terrible news, condolences to his family and friends. Loved his videos.

EV hate aside. I watched this start to finish:

GuidoK · 01-03-2023, 09:35 AM

RIP.

At least he died doing something he loved.

Entropy89 · 01-03-2023, 09:36 AM

Such a tragic loss...I grew up following Ken Block's career and was a bit obsessed with DC Shoe Co. back in the day. I still have one of his rally hoodies from when he was sponsored by Subaru, that thing has to be more than 15 years old now.

chris_1001 · 01-03-2023, 10:47 AM

Wow, I was watching a few of his vids on YT last night... Woke to learn this today.

RIP!

I hadn’t heard about JR’s accident. Bloody hell.

M3WC · 01-03-2023, 12:41 PM

Terrible, feel for his family. Recently watched a couple videos on his YT channel. Rebuilding an Audi Ur-Quattro with his daughter.

E30Fever · 01-03-2023, 01:25 PM

Ugh so terrible. Rest in power, Ken

Silence* · 01-03-2023, 01:48 PM

This one hits hard - an absolute legend gone too soon. May he rest in peace & my condolences to his family, at least he got to go out doing something he loved.

tigermack · 01-03-2023, 01:52 PM

I asked my wife if she remembers Ken Block, she asked if there was a new episode from his videos… I said he passed away. Hit us hard at dinner. A father who does what he loves with his daughter. Life is too short sometimes.
