Rest In Peace, Kenny. Ken is a huge reason I love cars and motor sport.

[@vac1376]

glad I wasnt the only one that came here after hearing about him die.

[@SMEGTACULAR]

Same I had to come pay the respects

[@macrae241]

I had to come watch these old videos too to pay respects. Glad I’m in good company

[@ATi1300Ramiro]

I still can’t believe it:( May he rest in peace. What a fuckin’ legend.

[@DearHalo_lover]

Absolute shocker to hear the news still

[@Rafa-qj4if]

Rest in peace Kenny 🙏

[@syahminorizan8064]

RIP Ken Block. You were a great legend. Race on in heaven, brother.

[@DemonFox26]

Absolutely broken hearted… Been watching this dude for decades… RIP brother

[@Kenny-tc6rg]

Not to be a prick but he is a legend, now so more than I life as he can never be recreated. RIP Kenny BBB (Big Balls Block)

[@KasbashPlays]

This was the episode that introduced me to Ken and his gymkhanas. We’ve lost another legend. Thanks for the memories, man.

[@gaboronem8615]

Same that's why I'm here

[@CiderHead]

Same here mate. Can't believe he's gone rest in peace brother

[@yut7774]

Same for me

[@JamesSarino]

Ditto. This is what started for me as well. Still stunned that Ken Block is gone. Thoughts to his family, can't imagine how they are coping.

[@ashwilliams6256]

Watching this now it’s so odd seeing how different ken block looks

[@trishaerra2957]

Well he ages quickly. I think 😂

I've been watching Ken Block videos all day, haven't got much work done to be honest, and this could well be one of my favorites. Where polite Englishmen meet the raw talent of Ken for the 1st time. God speed Ken, thank you for everything!

Some say that he entered the Global Rallycross Championship just because it looked like fun, and that his car's range is measured in miles per tire. All we know is, he's The Hoonigan.

I saw ken block for the first time when this video came out and it is very sad to hear that ken is not there anymore.💔But his legacy will never be forgotten. RIP. #KB43

I'm too(((💔

[@hunterwentz3463]

RIP Kenny! This video back in the day introduced me to a legend!

that scene is incredible. car, plane and bike. on the air

[@mbirth]

The TopGear camera team at work. I start to suspect they're also doing his Gymkhana videos …

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

I want to see Ken block vs the Stig.

[@Trappedby2Pac]

ever watched rallycross?

[@bradleyherdman]

***** it doesn't matter how much it cost its about power luck and skill.

[@TheSFMCreators]

***** You aren't really acting adult-like are you?

[@Ali-je4nv]

***** 13 years old? i think you're a 13 year old looking to stir up some hate and call people kid when in fact you are one. I believe this because of the constant loling and the gay joke

[@elytheteddybear2026]

MysticStrike ForceSSJ3 you got those words out of my mouth 5 months ago

[@g00b3r7]

I lived at Edwards AFB when this was shot, about an hour away. A bunch of us Subaru guys caught wind of it and went up there. Though we couldn't get in to see it, it was a neat little pilgrimage. It's a tragedy he's gone. Colin, Ken, Travis and countless others helped bring Subaru, rallying and Gymkhana to the masses for the states in the mid oughts. He will be sorely missed.

[@rockzs74r]

It's only a Jokes but Travis might wanted to switch brand considering what happened to other Subaru Legends. Richard Burns as well

[@mikedelaney4055]

6:11 is what I'll always remember you for, Mr. Block. Thanks for the inspiration. RIP.

[@mpa1931]

This video was my first exposure to Ken Block, can't believe he's gone RIP

[@jordancummins3092]

Mine too.

[@BTMTooka]

Seeing this as a kid I wanted to be just like him. Rest in peace Ken ❤

[@DowzerWTP72]

Almost 10 years old now, and it still gives me the shivers when the GOAT comes out of nowhere! I wish I was still riding Motorcross; miss it so so much!!

[@myar4931]

The shot of the wheel locking up for the split second at 2:30...oh god, it's little things like that that make racing so amazing.

[@DoctorYoda2]

Ikr :o

[@jp_0118]

RIP KB - man was the stuff of legends

[@adamgearing8296]

RIP Ken Block, I never forgot this segment, the shot of them jumping in front of the plane in perfect sync is insane.

[@Mypenisissmallbut]

Shot is so beastttt whoever suggested that deserves a bonus. Wonder how many tries it took

[@_nvarun__]

Thanks @TopGear for introducing us to Ken Block, our beloved drift king! RIP Ken, you will be sorely missed.

[@quillmaurer6563]

6:06 Absolute money shot there. Did they choreograph the C-130 in the background, or was that pure luck? Choreographing that, getting the timing just right, would not have been easy.

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

I’m pretty confident they would have choreographed it, but you’re quite right. It would not have been easy to time.

[@avramt]

Had to rewatch this video after hearing about his death. RIP Ken Block, you will be missed.

[@LosSkywolfGTR]

Think this bit from Top Gear is how I first ever heard of Ken Block. Rest in peace you genuine badass and absolute legend.

[@user-qn8fk2mf5t]

Rest in Peace Ken, I always loved this segment of Top Gear, you made it amazing… the slo mo part with you, the bike and the plane gave me goosebumps at the time of watching it 13 year ago, and still does to this day!! A legend lost, but not forgotten 😢

One of my most favorite episodes of Top Gear - BBC ever!

Cool. Ken block and Ricky Carmichael. Both amazing.

[@eurogael]

That 3 vehicle slow mo is my favourite single visual from all of Top Gear. RIP Mr Block.

[@WillCall_TRD]

1:56 will always send a shiver down my spine. Watched this episode probably 20 times in a row the day I found it. That sound is just pure music. I will miss him dearly and my heart goes out to his team and beautiful family❤

[@3dgar7eandro]

Ken a.k.a. "Mr Block" was and still is the best😎😁👏👏👌👌

[@carsonmccann3554]

The skill and finesse of this legend behind the wheel was unreal

[@helenmannion]

This man was my biggest inspiration when i was a kid. I had pictures of him and his cars up in my room. I came home from school and used to look forward to watching his videos over and over again. Rest in peace Ken 🙏🏻

[@Zelda_91]

for many of us in the UK this was our first introduction to Ken when this first came out and lets say he left quite the impression on us....RIP LEGEND!!!

[@abyssstyx]

whoever in the writers room stumbled across a ken block gymkhana video and thougt "well, i'm gonna put james may in it" is my personal hero

[@RPDXC]

That was Crazy! Such a smooth landing, and amazing timing to get a C130 flying right inbetween gap in the background as they air it out.

[@chocaholic7195]

This was the first clip I thought of when I heard he passed away. Thanks for all the amazing footage.

[@MA-gw8me]

That Top Gear episode was my first time I have met Ken Block. Since then I watched almost every clip with him and enjoyed it a lot. Now it is time to RIP rest in pitstop. Thank you Ken.

[@user-mi7xl5lc1t]

ken started rally racing 2005 this is him like 3 years later

[@fredzode]

This needs to be re-uploaded in HD. Thank you

[@ArleneHJ]

Mr Block - I’m just a single mother out here in Texas, and one of my son’s very first fond memories of me is the 2 of us watching your gymkhana videos together. We were gutted to hear the news yesterday. Thank you for everything.

[@davidtownson1476]

I love this video. Can't believe Ken has gone so young. Keep going up there Ken, you and Evel will ROCK the place!

[@seekingenlightenment9685]

I never thought someone could drive a car in a manner, that would effect you so emotionally. A true artist. He will be missed.

[@danmar007]

This bit is still a head banger after all these years. I'd love to have his car even if I can't do any of that stuff.

[@15DEAN1995]

there are very few drivers who i consider to be icons. ken block is one of them, we were lucky to be here to witness his brilliance. RIP ken you will be missed by everyone

Cute

Maybe Ken is the stig

[@slayer500x]

the stig is the stig

[@niFeforever]

Stig and Ken are in different categories

[@Slemoster]

These are two very different types of drivers, dude. Ken is a Rally car driver where as all the previous stigs have been mostly F1 racers. Only time I've seen Stiggy do rally was during the Ashes against the Aussies.

[@-g-4356]

Rewatching all Kens badass driving videos past few days. RIP 43 You have definitely inspired me to chase my dreams like you did for so many others.

[@danielrogers1539]

R.I.P You absolute legend, Ken Block 😊💖🙏

[@winkerdude]

My brother was a pilot and an off road enthusiast. I found this video in 2010. I tried to contact because I knew he would love it. But he died of a heart attack before I made contact with him. I still feel like crap because I was not quicker.

[@jasonkhoury4328]

Wow!! Ouch man!! Sorry to hear that. Watching this would be so painful for you but hopefully also trigger some good memories. Hang in there huh

[@n0denz]

I don't know how they managed to choreograph everything with that C-130, but they filmed one of the most iconic moments in Top Gear.

[@antonioliguori4555]
