Shocked to hear of Ken Blocks passing. He was incredible behind the wheel and a great source of entertainment.

This is not a good start to 2023...

An amazing talent behind wheel - I have always liked his videos..

Jeremy Renner has also suffered a “significant injury” after a snow ploughing accident.

Not a good start to 2023.

Shocked to hear of the both them, hopefully Jeremy pulls thru.

I must have been living under a rock as I didn’t know who he was when my workmate told me yesterday - he showed me some videos - a couple of which I’d seen, but I didn’t know the name.

A better driver than a snow mobile operator it seems. Also, I think based on his videos he was very unlikely to die of old age that’s for sure.

From what I've heard the snowmobile landed on him.

His own snow mobile or someone else’s?

I think it was his own, it sounded like he was going down a pretty steep drop off and he came unstuck.

That's what I heard. Wasn't Pedro a big fan?

I also didn't realise he'd raced in the Dakar, but they did a tribute segment to him on the show today/yesterday.

Jeremy Renner is critical but stable and even managed a post on Instagram.

I must have been living under a rock

Same rock I was under, as I have not heard of him.

Getting pretty crowded under here, isn't it?
