Thought it was wild to see them going down the drag strip here in the south during the middle of the summer.

There's a wild arse contest in Ak called Arctic Man, snowmachines pull dudes on skis then slingshot them.

It's started out pretty messed up. Jeremy Renner, Damar Hamlin, Ken Block, one of the Pointer Sisters died, Martina Navratilova has double cancer. WTF, '23?

Block and Pastrana got me into cars and rallying as a kid.

Dude would drive the piss out of anything with an engine.

That's crazy. I enjoy his Hoonigan videos. Especially San Francisco. I was hoping for a NOLA one but we just don't have enough flat roads.
