Exactly! Living his life to the fullest. It's ironic that every time he got in his car and did the carefully controlled but still wild stunts he performed, that something could have gone wrong (but never did). Ironically, the snowmobile ended up being a more dangerous activity that his high-speed, high-horsepower stunt driving.
RIP Block. You'll be missed.
Snowmobiling is high-speed high-horsepower driving.
Just on snow.
This is true, and to be fair the snow adds an unpredictability layer, but Ken's racing was so much more "flat-out". Though it is possible that Ken was also going flat-out on his sled, which in any case can be just as dangerous. Still, at face value, you see what he does in his car in "controlled" environments, and it puts you in awe of the risky business he pulls off!
