  • GO FAST RISK EVERY THANG. This is the mantra that we often have to use when racing rally. Sometimes it leads to champagne ceremonies, sometimes to crashed cars. In the 2022 American Rally Association season, it often led to both. While there were many wins and successes throughout the season, there was also mistakes and setbacks. So, we had to go fast and risk everything to chase that title right to the end - and this is the behind-the-scenes story of how that all went.

      Okay, but if you're scared- you're driving beyond your capabilities, actually.
      Being fast come after you conquer being smooth, and you don't do that by driving beyond your capabilities. You do that by developing a relationship with your machine and the track you're on.

      A snowmobile is basically a winterized version of a motorcycle. If you push the line it's no suprise that such things can happen. I ride motorcycles and the sheer danger you are in while riding is not lost to me. I'm well aware that without my gear the concrete can turn my body to ground beef (literally, and beware googling images. it is graphic) and even with a full suit of the best gear i can still hit something or land just right and still lose limbs, be impaled, get organs ruptured, and break bones. Doesn't stop me from riding, but i want people to be aware that vehicles that are basically just you riding an engine can be very dangerous and can kill you so fast you didn't even comprehend it before it happened.

These three guys have had such a huge impact on vert sports and rallying in the US and on XGames and on inspiring people to do their best no matter their age. It's been truly incredible to watch them perform not only at the top of their game but expanding what EVERYONE thought was possible. Ken has been such a great entertainer and such a great person. I'm truly honored to have been alive to see the likes of Jordan, Pastrana, Mirra and Block. What lives they have led. Race in Heaven, Ken.

    RIP Kenneth (ken) Block Wow! We came so long my guy. I miss you alot. You inspired me to drift hot wheels cars. You were a king. And passed. Ur family didn't give birth to a god. They gave birth to a legend and icon. I know he wanted to be a rally/drifter. Im sure Lia is very sad. And is crying as I speak. Ur a hoonigan master. After one dies. The other one comes. I know Lia will take over. And take ur legacy. Jumping over helicopters. Over the water. Etc. I was so sad when u passed. Im sure ur daughter did too. My grandma passed away too. She was always the best. But back onto the legend. Im sure hoonigan team is sad too. Im the only one that will come back and check every year. Im the only one that will remember in 10 years because ill be able to drive. Man. Its so sad we lost you. The hoonicorn is a master. (Stuff about Kenneth) The hoonicorn is a 67 (or 69) Ford mustang. His real name is kenneth (short for ken) He jumped over a helicopter. And the water and a bunch more. (Thank you for reading if u did. Ill check back on u ken :( RIP Kenneth Block.)
