From Hoonigan Industries on Instagram:
It’s with our deepest regrets that we can confirm that Ken Block passed away in a snowmobile accident today.
Ken was a visionary, a pioneer and an icon. And most importantly, a father and husband.
Awful, tragic news. For people my age, Ken was the car guy. His Gymkhana videos transcended motorsports and car culture to become relevant in the mainstream. I’ll remember him for his participation in the old Global RallyCross series. While he never had the racecraft of some of his GRC competitors like Scott Speed or Travis Pastrana, it was clear that his feel and spatial awareness inside the car was other worldly. He will be missed.
