Default RIP Ken Block

I usually don’t get all fanboi about racers/sports people but mad respect is another thing. We lost a major talent and icon in motorsports today.

I’m still shocked and frankly, kinda ticked off because he died in a manner unexpected and not in direct relation to what made him great. Let’s call it the “Michael Schumacher syndrome” over his disablement caused by skiing accident; unrelated to what made him famous.

RIP Ken Block

Was very surprised to hear this last night. I never knew he was the co-founder of DC shoes.
