Ken Block, Hoonigan Founder, Killed in Snowmobile Crash
Man. Too bad. I met him a few times at some XGames. Didn't know him personally but was definitely a huge promoter of so many extreme sport events. Took my daughters to a lot of those massive skateboard ramp exhibitions. Crazy stuff.
If only there were a thread about deaths
When some actor from the 50's dies at the ripe age of 95, it's not the same thing as someone famous in their 50's or younger. So they deserve their own thread.Quote:

Who gives a fuck, dickwad. You're wrong - again - but are too embarrassed to admit you were/are too thick to find the right threadQuote:

Crushed by the weight of his own giant testicles?
Surprised he didn't die of lung cancer to be honest.
There are ways to hurt yourself on sleds. They usually involve trees, jumping , avalanches and other sleds. Climbing a hill of power and turning the sled over usually is not one of them.Quote:

Being buried In snow with a 500lb weight on you might be though. I would guess suffocation.Quote:

Ask Steve Irwin, for example.
Or pulling them out of snow banks or partly thawed lakes, causing muscle strain in your back and spending a couple of months off work recovering.:rolleyes::wink1:Quote:

A man known for pushing hard on fast machinery will sometimes push too hard.
Do you get your speed thrills vicariously now you are older?
Speed thrills speed kills. At least one thrill seeker who only managed to kill himself. Well done.
