Apparently wiped out on a snowmobile and it landed on top of him.

Dang. This would be big news without the Demar Hamlin injury.

No details on exactly what happened to Block but a dude died at the X Games years ago when he fricked up on a flip and the sled landed on him and crushed his chest.

The scene shown it appears they were jumping the sleds at a minimum. Likely similar. Especially if he nosed it and the skis dug in.

I'm watching this Buffalo Bills game and the aftermath of what happened on the field. I feel for that young man, his family, his teammates, and everyone else involved and concerned about it. Then I scroll down and see this thread, and all I can say is: son of a fricking bitch! I am a huge Ken Block, Gymkhana and Hoonigan fan. What a kick in the nuts after getting kicked in the nuts once already.

What a terrible shame. I love his YouTube channel. His videos with his daughter are always entertaining. Hard-working race driver, successful businessman (started DC shoes), and still maintained a fantastic relationship with his kids.

He has one of the most bad arse rally car videos I’ve seen on You Tube. RIP to him

What a bummer.

I was a fan and he seemed like he was living a great life.

Those rally/drift guys have crazy car control skills.

RIP.

Prayers for the family. I was a big fan of Ken Block. Just bought set of his signature Offroad rims he designed with Fuel wheels. There’s a video somewhere on the web of his car and truck collection...so badass. RIP 43, you’ll be missed.

something like 900 hp. Not enough let’s add twin turbo and get it to 1400.

That original video of him tearing tires up in LA was great

That sounds terrible. Who was he? Was he a YouTube guy?

He was never going to live to see old age. Surprised Pastrana has outlived him. Feel bad for his family. This is definitely a case of someone dying doing what they love.

Man this one hurts. I love watching old rally clips from him, Colin McRae, and Travis Pastrana.
