Ken Block, Racecar Driver, Dead at 55 After Snowmobile Accident



Racecar driver Ken Block has died. He was 55. The co-founder of DC Shoes suffered a fatal snowmobile accident in Utah on Sunday. In a tribute on Instagram, Tony Hawk writes, ‘I have many fond memories of Ken through the last three decades… Ken hustled and never lost sight of our core ethos: to push limits and carve our own paths, while giving new opportunities to a passionate community of misfits.’

  1. My buddies and I weren’t jocks, we were not geeks or nerds. We were lucky enough to have come of age loving skating, snowboarding, cars, dirt-bikes, snowmobiles… We have him and his loved ones to thank for building this community. This man’s impact is much, much greater than most are going to understand any time soon. Rest in Peace, Ken. We will look out for your family in the best way we can.

  2. We're sad but this man loved living his life on the edge as do I and if I die doing something I love try not to be sad. He was happy until that last second. R.I.P Legend you will be missed.

  4. Пиздец конечно. У нас дохрена народу знает кто такой Кеn Block, я много раз смотрел видосы, где просто трудно было поверить, в то, что он вытворял. Я опечален и мои кореша тоже. Как же так? Так рано ушел…

  5. So I guess I'd like to say I'm sorry for my comment this morning,

    It was a lot to take in
    I mean it's very hard to come to terms with the fact that one of my favorite WRC driver's/icons of the car world had just passed away from what would seem impossible to happen in my opinion as one of the most professionally experienced/capable drivers of any type of motorsports vehicle in the motorsports industries
    Sorry for my emotional outrage.

    I can only hope that kenn's family finds the hope needed to get through this difficult and dark time in their lives Kenn will be missed, for his friends, family and beloved fans I leave you with this song to comfort in a time of darkened and difficult duress.
    The song is by luke Bryan,
    Drink A Beer.
    Toast to Kenn Block
    R.I.P. !
