This one hurts. I liked him a lot and what he’s done for the community. I always run his number on my focus RS at any event i can. My heart breaks for his family

Poor kids.

Snowmobiling is one thing I’d love to do. A few of my friends are heavy into it, but man… so many accidents even when your aware and knowledgeable.

There aren’t too many things more dangerous, I’m sure Ken pushed the limits on a sled as well

Jesus. What a shitty start to the year.

I've only been snowmobiling once, up in the Tulameen area. That was pretty much my sketch limit, and I couldn't do it again. Those things are ridiculous fast for how little control they actually have. I remember doing 110 at barely over half throttle, on ice...

I'm not really interested in the things that Ken Block did - drifting, gymkhana, hoonigans etc - however, I respect him. I think he is a pioneer in the automotive community and is probably GOAT/a legend. I think without him the community wouldn't be as mainstream as it is today.

Not only did he seem like a real human being, but he’d also be nice. One of my favourite things about him is that he didn’t even start to rally until he was 35. Refreshing to see

I'm shocked when I heard this yesterday. The only good thing is he went out doing what he loves pushing the limits. His life might not of been as long as it should of been but is was sure damn fun and incredible!!
