I just heard about the untimely passing of one of the most inspirational people of our times, and I am gutted 💔 Ken Block will go down beyond legend status, his impact changed action sports, fashion, and the car community. I was super blessed to be able to become pro as a BMX athlete for DC Shoes in 2011 and I can say that Ken, his brand, and the people he chose to execute his vision changed my life and that of countless people. Through the success of the brands he started, athletes like myself were given opportunities to travel the world, appear on television, magazines, and have world class treatment that we were never accustomed to before. Every time I was fortunate enough to attend a shoot, a contest, or a simple dinner with Ken, he was always super down to earth, and a genuinely fun person to be around. My condolences go out to his family, his daughters, and all of the people that worked for him and with him. Truly a terrible way to start off 2023, but, there is no question that Ken lived life to the fullest, and he would want all of us to continue to do so.
