groupw Posted January 3 Share #9 Posted January 3 Saw numerous videos of his driving over the years. He was at the Rallycross event a few miles from here in November. I thought about going but had a conflict and opted to go to the other event. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would watch rally car racing from time to time. Didn't follow it closely but it's still fun to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane driving skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted January 3 Share #17 Posted January 3 I watched Rally car and X games sno cross. I really heard of him when he started the Gymkhana videos. I knew of Hoonigan and the Hoonicorn but did not realize what a great marketing and branding mind he was. Had no idea he started off trying to be a snow boarder and made his money from the DC shoe brand. Godspeed Mr Block. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
