Block, a prolific figure in the car community, was 55 years old. A co-founder of DC shoes, he moved into the world of rally and quickly made a name for himself, developing the Hoonigan brand and creating the much-loved Gymkhana video series.
The first time I ever saw Ken Block drift was in the video below and thought 'holy crap, who is this guy?!"
It's hard to believe with all of his high speed rally driving he lost his life from a snowmobile accident.
