That vid is Travis Pastrana although it's from Hoonigan.

Real shame Block is gone. His videos are helping generate the next generation of petrol heads. My three year old loves them.
Yup, I watched the electric Audi one when it came out with my 3 year old and then watched pretty much everything else he's done since with him. He regularly asks for the electric one as that's his favourite, obviously a child of the times!

RIP Ken, sad news.

Very unfortunate news. Tbh when I saw the headline I though it was due to something from a while back as the last Hoonigan I saw on Youtube was with travis P driving and I was a bit puzzled.

Shocked in the same way I was when I watched Senna's crash and when I heard of both McRae and Richard Burns passing. All losses ahead of their time.. RIP

Can't believe he was 55!

Also bizarrely i have a snow mobile trip booked in the Wasatch Mountains (Salt lake city) in March, which looks close to where this accident happened!

Oh damn, loved his driving skillz and he was a real fine gentleman. RIP

Now we are left with that egotistical twit Pastrana. Great.

See now I really like Travis, as I've just said on the other topic.
Hugely likeable character, just another level of insane.

Damn.

I missed this, and only just found out.

He always got stick on here from some people, but he always made me smile, not just through his videos but through his personality that absolutely came across; a decent bloke and a dyed-in-the-wool petrolhead.
