    How did he do all that crazy stuff in cars and other machines and then gets taken out riding alone on a snowmobile? Crazy crazy stuff.

    Super bummed about this. I've really been enjoying his/Hoonigans videos lately. He just finished building an 80s Quattro with his daughter that was a beautiful build. Shame to go out like that.

    Complete speculation here but coulda been an avalanche. Also, in my experience through the years often times people get hurt or die when doing fairly routine things they may have done hundreds of other times cause they aren't as focused as they would be while doing something "extreme"

    Anyways whatever happened it sucks. RIP

    Edit: After more research apparently the machine landed on him.
