    I still cant believe it and still absolutely heart broken. I'm near 68 years old and Ken was one of my idols, I looked up to his talent, drive, business mind and how amazing he was as a husband and father. His loss is simply BS.

      It's always the good ones, the special talents and the passionate that pass unexpectedly. I think it's because of their passion and drive, because they're so committed and always pushing.
      I'm amazed sometimes that guys like Travis Pastrana and Valentino Rossi etc haven't met similar fates

    I'm a new father to a 4 month old, and man, I can really admire Kens family aspect more now than when I stumbled upon him a decade or so ago. Driving talent is unmatched, we all know that, but his character and view on life off of the track is unparalleled. If i can achieve 1/8 of the success and happiness he had, i will have lived a wonderful life. We lost a good effin dude, but he went out doing something he loved and enjoyed. So there is a bit of solace in knowing that. Much like Paul Walker. Hopefully they both are lighting fires and smokin' tires together with Dale Earnhardt. RIP sir.

      Ken would never say to anyone that dying and stripping his daughter of a father due to "doing what he loved" would be what he wanted. Maybe I've been angry because it hurts. Don't take it the wrong way. But his family deserved way more than this

    • @hellzturkey

      @@arcadiagreen150 He left this planet the proudest father of them all. It hurts for Lia, I'm sure. But at the end of his career, after his prime, he put all the focus on her. Seeing his reaction to Lia doing her first 1/4 mile pulls put me in tears. He was so obsessed with his kids and their futures. I'm bothered that of all things, it had to be as obscure as a snowmobile accident. He was just doing something he enjoyed, and now he's gone. But he did love doing it. He lived his fullest life until the day he died, and he left the world a better place for car enthusiasts than it would've been without him.

    I only learned about Ken Block a few years ago by accident, but have since consumed probably hundreds of hours of content either Hoonigan or he produced. It is some really inspirational stuff. I always show Ken Block stuff to people if they say they haven't seen it... and the response is always the same - pure amazement, wonder, joy, and awe.
    Like Robin Williams, it is too bad Ken is gone.
    And, Mia is only 14 and is going to be super negatively impacted by this. In a sense, I almost hope she follows in his shoes because she has already shown herself to be an amazing driver... but I also hope she can come out of this as a healthy and happy adult. 14 is a really tough time for a girl, and even tougher losing someone who clearly was such a loving and supportive dad.

    One of very few channels I'm glad is paying tribute to the late legend Ken Block because I know it's legit and sincere and not to jump on the bandwagon and try to blow up your channel with subscribers and massive amounts of views. I've seen alot of that lately and imo it's wrong and pathetic and disrespectful to Ken's name. I feel absolutely terrible for his daughter who followed in her father's footsteps and her mother and rest of the Block family. I know how hard it is to lose someone suddenly without warning especially your father whom you looked up to and worked beside. I'd say the pain will eventually go away, but it honestly doesn't it just kinda dulls over time and you learn to move on. Ken did alot of great things for the car community and he will never be forgotten.
