Ken Block

American race car driver and showman Ken Block achieved good results in racing, but not a man's whole life was built around a career. He also excelled in business and even created a line of extreme sports clothing and footwear. But he still devoted most of his time to sports, participated in competitions in snowboarding, skateboarding and rallycross.

Ken was born in the fall of 1967 in Long Beach, California, USA. He spent his childhood on the Pacific coast and as soon as he learned to swim, he decided to master surfing. Over time, Blok's hobby turned into a desire to bring something of his own to this sport. He got together with his friends, and together they decided that special shoes were needed for further studies.

Friends-athletes cut out comfortable sneakers on their own, so in 1994 the guys got a business from one pair of boots. The company, DC Shoes, first produced exclusively surfing equipment, and then expanded the range and now offers clothing and shoes for a variety of extreme sports. In 2004, Quiksilver, Inc bought the lucrative business of the Block, giving $ 87 million for it and leaving Ken in the position of the head.

Having no need for money, in 2005 Blok decides to realize his childhood dream of racing. Ken made his debut as part of the Vermont SportsCar team in the American National Rally Championship, the company gave the man a Subaru WRX STi car.

Without rally experience, the rider showed good results the first time. He came to the finish line fifth from the group and seventh in the absolute, and closed the season already in 4th place, thereby attracting the attention of the Subaru management. The next year of the driver's biography was even more successful. With the full support of Subary, together with a friend, he creates the Subaru Rally Team USA. As a result, the season brings him 5 victories, of which 2 gold. He also took second place in the national championship.

While continuing to compete domestically, Ken is also trying his hand at the WRC. In addition, he increasingly became the winner in one-off races and shows. In 2008, the man competed in the World Rally Championship and, to prepare himself, took part in the Canadian rally in a new Subaru WRX STi car, where he won. Then he took 1st place in the races in the USA, and in the X Games XIV competition, Block was less fortunate, the man shared 3rd place with Dave Mirra.

In 2010, Ken represented the Monster World Rally team at the World Rally Championship. The man's competition car was made by M-Sport. He then competed in Season 6 of the National Rally America Championship and won the 100 Acre Wood for the 5th time in a row. In 2011, Block ended up in the hospital as a result of an accident, but soon his manager announced that the athlete was fine and would soon return to duty.

At the 2014 World Championships, held in Spain, until the last stage, the driver showed a good result and kept moving in tenth place until he punctured a wheel before the finish. This hitch took his time, so he took only 12th place. And in 2015, Ken was invited to star in the role of "icon" for the computer game Need For Speed. Blok came to this sport at the age of 37, but his age did not prevent a man from becoming the "king of auto racing".

Little is known about the personal life of the race car driver. In an interview, Ken said that he has a wife and three children. Other hobbies for men include snowboarding in winter and cycling or wakeboarding in summer. This is evidenced by the numerous photos on Blok's Instagram profile.

Although Ken is no longer a young man, his lifestyle does not allow him to grow old, with a height of 183 cm (weight unknown), he looks fit, energetic and young.

Block continues to participate in races now, but fans are more interested in the videos that he has been posting on YouTube since 2008 under the name "Dzhimkhana".

In fact, this is a Japanese competition where the participants go through difficult routes, but Ken went further and turned the sport into a show without rivals, where he alone demonstrates beautiful turns, jumping from trampolines and high-speed obstacle driving.

Having removed 10 parts of "Dzhimkhana", now the racer is uploading equally exciting videos on his channel. In May 2019, a man showed viewers how to drive a brand new Ford Ranger Raptor and other adventures in New Zealand.

2004 - "The Most Influential Person in the Sports Business" (according to the "Sports Business Journal") 2005 - "Rookie of the Year" in the American Rally 2006 - 3rd place in the 12th X-Games, 2nd place in the American Championship Rally 2007 - 2nd in 13 X-Games, 3rd in America Rally Championship 2008 - 2nd in America Rally Championship 2013 - 2nd in America Rally Championship
