peepeepoopoo
edit: damn. i never thought ken would go out this early. R.I.P Ken.
Not if he isn’t driving I don’t wanna watch more lol.
czcams.com/video/aLuELRXhY8U/video.html
Can't believe he really passed away. RIP Ken. RIP Mr. Hoonigan
He was such an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others.
he was truly a legend
I was watching so many videos of him today! Now he’s gone
the biggest shock. RIP to a legend
Dude, I was shocked when I opened insta it was the first thing I saw. RIP LEGEND 🙏🏽
Ken is the type of guy to leave 20 minutes late but still be 5 minutes early
czcams.com/video/6f1rv-tojUg/video.html
Maybe 4 if he did a lot of drifting
Fr
the car is so powerful it rotates earth and give back time
Movie name please tell me ?
This is the best thing i've watched ever! RIP to Mr. Hoonigan.
Matt telling random facts while Ken races through public roads at ridiculous speeds feels exactly like something out of Forza Horizon 5
At the time it was forza horizon 3

@@7kudos year just started and this shit happened. It doesn’t even feel real tbh.
@@7kudos not off to a great start
An unexpected start to 2023.
I will say that he wasn't in the spotlight for while since this AWD stang came out. But now that he is gone it makes you really think that this dude was a absolute fuckin legend in all motorsports... there ain't one person that comes close to being on Kens level. Sad to think we will never see him rip these insane drifts. Now all we can do is leave his old videos on repeat while thinking that there won't be anymore...
This show's budget is probably more than the gdp of several countries combined

Bruhh I thought I was the only one thinking that 🤦🏿♂️
It's true, small pacific micronations have very small budgets
But in relation, how much are those counties influencing other nations/present in their society like the BBC is, would be my initial thought.
That HOONICORN is a MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The control ,speed ,skill ,calmness that KEN has is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! we honestly lost a very very GREAT LEGEND , you will FOREVER BE REMEMBERED !!!!!!!!! REST IN PEACE KEN BLOCK
I've watched this twice already and am coming back for the third time he just drifts so well R.I.P. Ken Block you will forever drift in our hearts.

10 mn ...
More like 10 minutes
They only saw a tiny fraction of the sites and they are all pretty close together, they didn't even really make it out of central London.

(With the roads closed) 😂
Rest in Peace Ken. Truly a legend
Miss you brother. Thank you for leaving such amazing memories for us to continue enjoying!
Fun fact: The red button on top of the hand brake of the Hoonicorn locks the center differential. This is used to block all four wheels when pulling the handbrake. When the button isn't pressed, the handbrake only brakes, and thus locks, the rear wheels, as usual.

When I woke up this morning and heard the news I was completely shocked. RIP Ken Block
I had the same experience. Woke up and saw the news. I was in genuine shock and disbelief. It took a while to process it , but the grief is starting to set in now. Rest in peace ken you are a legend of the world of automobiles

yes he was my inspiration for drifting
I don't have much on my account
But I will always remember him and try to be better to achieve something in my country (Poland) and this year I will try to achieve something
@@LoneWolfpl1 o polska XD
@@LoneWolfpl1 good luck bro 🤘
I remember a friend in high school showing me one of the early Gymkhana videos when it came out. I'd never seen anything like it. That (and Doc Hudson of course) was what opened my eyes to the world of drifting. It's tragic that Ken is gone, but I'm glad Lia is carrying on the Block legacy, and I can't think of anyone more deserving of inheriting the Hoonicorn.
Right I'm excited to see her hopefully carry on the tradition of gymkhana videos....i would marry her in a hummingbird heartbeat
6:40 i like how the stig is casually just enjoying reading his newspaper in the back
No one really noticed i think, my fav part about the video 😂
6:40 The Stig just chillin reading the morning paper LOL
Oh my god yes I noticed 🤣
Woah... didn't notice that before 😅😂
XD
Holy shit now that’s funny! Lol
I want write the same thing )
Most amazing with this is that the brits allowed Ken driving like a madman through London 👍
with enough money, anyone will let you do anything
I know, right....Had me closing my eyes lol Ken truly is an amazing driver ... Much respect 💗
We've had formula 1 cars drive through city streets & rally cars always drive the streets between stages so seeing someone who does wheelspins for 6 year olds isn't that impressive lol.
@@leejohnson3742 lol stfu ken is one of the best drivers of our time. There's a lot more than wheelspins going on here and you know damn well he's a better driver than you
@@samnichols9887 you come across as a typical pre-teen. There have been much better drivers in my time you clown. Do you know how many takes Ken has to do to make his shitty gymkhana videos? Do you know how many times he crashes to make those things? Don't worry, one day you'll be an adult & you'll realise how pointless it is & you may also learn that things aren't amazing just because their American. Go & watch some 'unboxing' videos or something...
I had not watched a Ken Block video in a while, knowing it would be bittersweet. Such an amazing guy. Since I am not normally a drift fan, I ask if there are any drivers as good as Ken was? I'll be watching his work in amazement for as long as I live. RIP Ken.
I've had some videos of Lea popping up in my feed for the last few months and always avoid watching them. Today, I finally watched a couple of Ken's videos.
There is something so magical about watching someone have such control of a car. Ken became part of the machine he was driving. I have so much respect for his talent
This guy does things In real life that I can't do in games
If you spent the same hours on the game as he had driving youd probably smash him lol.
actually hes so bad at rally , just drifting around

“Hold my steering wheel”
all wheel drift
when you have enough power anything is possible
I was lucky enough to meet Ken not long after this video came out and I actually asked him what the red button did. As soon as I asked him he laughed and said everyone had wanted to know. He was such a great guy, very friendly and had alot of time for his fans. He was a powerhouse of driving excellence and he will be sorely missed. RIP Ken #kb43ver
soooooo what did it do-
@Markster it was a launch aid which temporarily locked up all the wheels to allow more traction when starting off the line.
@@MarksterC fr he proceeded to lead us to a huge cliffhanger 🤣

THE STIG IS CUTE
Some say, he's still trying to learn Italian...
Noticed it too sharp eye
I thought I saw him there
good pair of eyes man!! Respect!!!
The revving noises the engine makes as car drifts is more pleasant to me than any music you could ever play.
That is probably the coolest video ever made of London. It needs an Award and its own Statue with a little screen showing this vid round the clock.
RIP Ken Block! I will never forget these videos of you driving a car so fast. You are an inspiration and the world needs more people like you.
@Karl with a K he's died already stfu with your info we know that, now what's gonna happen even after you say that, nothing right? so shut up bro and don't spam it everywhere
They were like: You got only 30 minutes to drive through London..
Ken: Thats okay, I only need 5..

Best comment!
Its a 10 minute video
Naja ich schau mir gerne sowas an

First time watching KB back in 2010 was an opening eye event about cars and the art of drifting. Never heard back about him in recent years until i played Forza Horizon 5 in past february and his car featured in the game. Only to find out he has already passed away recently. RIP KB THE LEGEND

It definitely cost big.

Im just finding these cars holly shit and the driver is insane r.i.p ken just became a big fan even tho your gone .. see you in the other side❤
Anyone else on a Ken Block binge? I'm still in utter disbelief that this legend is gone. Ken was the one who opened up my eyes to the world of badass driving and Rallying (like many of us here), and rewatching these cuts got me thinking of the insane standards and foundation that Ken has laid for the world of rallying, racing and drifting. Another legend taken way too soon. So so sad.
i mean, i started off a bit late too

I bought fiesta st in 16 because of him
Im 46 even my young niece “you got a ken block car” lol 😢👊😎
Is he no more?
I could be wrong but I haven’t seen a video of him actually driving the whole coarse on one video.. everything that I’ve seen was recorded one curve or stunt at a time and often attempted multiple times for the perfect shot. He’s steal an amazing driver but it really disappoints me that I haven’t seen one like the one he did on pikes peak done in one shot
Rest well, Legend

The meticulous planning and organisation it took to orchestrate this is a credit to the Producers of Top Gear, and all of those working for the BBC who were involved in the special. This sequence is the stuff of movies, and it would never have been possible had it not been for a huge amount of planning. The fact Ken and his immense skill and ability are no longer with us is devastating, and it is only through the production of works like this that you can truly appreciate his lifelong ability for vehicle control. Rest well Ken Block, your talent is sorely missed.
Best comment pal! 👊
Omg it actually hurts! Like losing a family member! I'm so deeply gutted! What a legend! Condolences firstly to his family and close loved ones and to his multiple fans! So so sad!
