That's a pity. His videos were amazing.

RIP.

I don't do motor sport - but even I knew of Ken Block and was impressed by his videos.

Died doing something he enjoyed, better than wasting away in some nursing home I guess.
Very talented guy, his driving was amazing.
RIP.

First crap news of the year. I followed most of his action on YouTube and what is the saddest is that he was definitely a family man of no age really.

Doing what he loved maybe but, still far too young to be taken.

Rip 🙁

Very sad indeed. You get a good idea of the man himself watching his daughters UR Quattro restoration. Comes across as very genuine and down to earth.

Blimey, that's crap news to sign on to. I've watched the Gymkhana videos from the very beginning and the Hoonigan brand that spawned has created something massive. The 10yo is also a huge fan and he's gutted.
RIP

Very sad. He's done a lot in the time he had & made so many entertaining videos. Thoughts are with his family.

Sad news. Only watched the summary video of the 2022 usa rally championship the other day. Even more gutted now that he narrowly lost out to Brandon Semenuk

Bad times. Probably did more for the popularity of rallying / WRC in the states than any other driver over the past 50 yrs. Whilst I never really got the whole hoonigan schtick, my kids loved it and the gymkhana you tube videos were quality.
He'll me missed in my house. RIP.

Very sad. Another Colin MacRae incident where a guy who exists in a relatively high risk environment dies on his 'day off' having fun.
Sorry for his family.

A real shame. He's a friend of a friend and I've only heard good things about him.

Show's things can happen really fast and nothing's permanent. I don't know what happened but I think I'd be satisfied to go out that way rather than fading slowly from some crap disease.

Think he's left quite a legacy.

Was on YT this morning and a video of the incident with a horrible clickbait title. Reported so hopefully taken down now. Didn’t watch not sure I want or need to see someone’s passing via go pro.

Sad news, 55 is no age at all, and he's done so much the time he was here.

🙁
