He is Successful in so many ways and a great family man and friend from what I have seen from his personal life. Me and my dad used to sit around the table watching videos of him driving laughing at how unbelievable he was, something I will always remember as a young lad wishing I could one day drive like that… 31 now and I can safely say I will never be able to but thanks for making me feel like I could as a young boy.

      @@grizzlynips to be fair, he does crash a bit (see gymkhana files) but part of that is due to him not spending enough practice time in the cars and the other part is him not having good references for risky manoeuvres. he practically learns the cars as they shoot. the team say he often does nail it on the first take but with risky manoeuvres you're talking knife's edge accuracy which is practically impossible all the time. I remember in the Texas shoot for gymkhana 10 he had to go under a building and the gap was something like 10 inches longer than his truck. he got it on the third attempt after two small ish crashes, one broke the wheel and the other broke the front bumper and wing assembly. tbh with these kind of stunts i think that's quite reasonable. at 5:25 you can see the stack of rocks he made as a reference. the whole team including him thought he'd over done it and was gonna go over the edge

    I was fortunate enough to get to visit Pikes Peak in the summer of 2021. I had seen this video back in 2019 when I was a few months shy of graduating high school, so to actually be there in person and see and drive that road for myself was a dream come true. I'll never forget that experience. It all inspired me to look more into high performance cars, and what it takes to make something like this and what it takes to drive it as well. I'm now in trade school, learning to work on cars and maybe even have a passion project car of my own. To hear the news of his untimely departure from this earth has deeply saddened me and many other people. Ken Block might not have known it, but he was a true inspiration to people far and wide besides myself to pursue the field of the automotive industry and to discover something we came to love.
    To Ken, I thank you for showing not just me but the world your side of what cars can be, and how they can perform outside of just racing or daily driving. Your level of creativity and ingenuity will never be able to be replaced.
    RIP Ken Block

The car just has too much power for the wheels to handle, especially when he’s purposely sliding it around. Also the car has basically no spoilers, lips or aero of any kind (not that it matters at 14000ft). As for how he can control it? He’s practiced drifting for 100s, possibly 1000s of hours.

    I've tried to type several comments.... I can't find the words. Respectfully and solemnly, RIP Mr. Block. I didn't know driving could be art. I will never be the same. Thank you for your contribution to this world. Prayers for your family; assuredly you will be missed.

    Who else would like to see Ken make an actual grip run up Pikes Peak in the hoonicorn? It probably doesn't have the aero to set a record time, but it would be cool to see how fast he could do it with 1400 hp.

      The Hoonicorn doesn't even know what grip is

      If well known hoonicorn doesn't have the aero, impossible to develop another car?
      oh yeah, focus and impreza also build for drift and doughnut only.
      KB know he will become a laughing stock plus their enthusiast and religion will gone if he try the pikes peak. Maybe he did tried quietly, as expected went wrong. Just stick to what he can, showing off and sell shoes

      Good thing he had AWD otherwise he'd be fucked, let's be real. O.O
      If the front tires didn't pull ken back onto the road... yikes I don't want to think about what would happen tbh.
