In 2019 I visited Gymkhana Grid finals in Warsaw (comptitive car drifting event organized by Ken Block) and I took lots of photos. However, I didn't manage to process or publish them + one of the memory cards I had used got corrupt.

In 2023 I randomly checked all my memory cards while looking for something else and OH MY GOD

And since I had a freakin' 70-200/2.8 and a monopod, those photos are JUICY.

A heartfelt piece from #IndyCar driver JR Hildebrand on Ken Block and the legacy he leaves behind.

"Ken was unafraid to be himself, let his passions drive him, do his thing his way, and let that be whatever it was going to be every single day. I can’t think of a better way to live a life."

#kenblock you will be missed by anyone who loves #cars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EXQtU80q1M "Don't be a asshole."

Do you know who Ken Block is? If not, you may at least know about DC Shoes, the brand he founded. Ken was an X Games multi-medal winner, entrepreneur, father, husband, and more.

About a week ago he died the way he lived his life. When asked about his legacy in an interview he had this to say:

“Be creative, live a fun life, and don’t be an asshole.”

Words of wisdom.

Ken Block's daughter Lia Block posted this heartfelt tribute to her dad on Instagram.

"He lived so many lives, accomplished more in 55 years than most people could in 10 lifetimes, and lived his life to the absolute fullest every single day.

"He was one of the most amazing people in the world, not to mention the best dad I could have ever asked for. I will strive every single day to make you proud. I love you to the moon and back kenny boi."
