This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. While working on the Freakies for the year my mind drifted to Ken Block. We lost him in January and some of us haven’t found a place on our personal shelves yet. He was a large personality and will be missed for some…
NASCAR Xfinity Driver Riley Herbst paid tribute this weekend in Darlington. It was a full-circle moment for Riley who was an enormous fan of Block who was killed in a snowmobile accident in January. Herbst told The Freaks it was hard to imagine he’d get a chance to honor Block in this way when he…
It was a difficult week in The Freak Nation. A Friend of the Freaks, Ken Block, died in a snow mobile accident in Utah near his Park City home. He was 55. Ken changed the way motorsports, indeed, all sports, are marketed. The co-founder of DC Shoes saw his videos viewed maybe a half billion…

Our 2007 Freakin Flashback with Ken Block takes us to the second of his sixth straight wins at the 100 Acre Wood rally in Missouri. He won the event seven times in eight years at the event named for the woods where Winnie the Pooh lived. Block is one of the most successful viral video…

This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… It’s been a CRAZY fifteen years, hasn’t it?
