After Jeremy Renner, he's the second celebrity who had a snow-related accident?

2023 just told 2022 to hold its beer.

The end is extremely fucking nigh.

At least he died doing something he was passionate about.

You only get to take so many risks before one eventually gets you.

I was never even into rally or his TV shows or his video games but for some reason, I still really feel a sense of loss. now that’s an icon.

Man.. I've been a fan of him since his first Gymkhana 1. In recent videos he's been teaching his daughter to drive a rally car like a real rally driver as well. He seemed like a really cool father from what I saw. Rip Ken Block.

Unfortunately, snowmobiles and quads are statistically fucking nightmares. The issue is that when you roll, you can easily get crushed underneath it

When I did my drivers license for my motorcycle they just told me to never ride a quad. Its basically a suicide machine just waiting to flip on you

Can confirm but only if you stop paying attention to what you are doing. In the end it's mostly human error when things go awry with these things. But respecting the machine you operate is alpha and omega

Aww shit man, was just catching up on his YT vids earlier too. Hoonigan and rally won't be the same without him, hope his family makes it through okay.

Oh man, he's got young kids. The oldest is 16 I think. How awful they lost their dad so young.

My first reaction on hearing this is sadness. My second reaction is thinking that I should also go on a snowmobile trip with some friends!
