On January 2, 2023, Block lost his life at the age of 55 in a snowmobile accident close to his ranch in Woodland, Utah.
Block was riding in the Mill Hollow region when his snowmobile overturned on a sharp incline and fell on top of him, according to the Wasatch County sheriff’s department. At the scene of the collision, Block was pronounced dead.
Block, who has won six times in Global Rallycross and 23 times in local U.S. rallies, is best known for his Gymkhana web video series.
The series, which he founded, was first made to promote DC Shoes and quickly went viral online. The show has received almost 629 million views to date, and Block’s most recent appearance was in the episode “Electikhana” from last October. This was the show’s first episode to feature an electric car, and it served as the basis for a lengthy interview Block gave RACER.com in November.
His funeral arrangements are yet to be made known.
