He did so much more than rally racing.

He did so much more than rally racing.

He was also a co-founder of DC Shoes

Jesus Christ!!! Those drifts are SICK!!!

So those Hoonigan cars are actually legit?? Sweet. I just thought they were just some extra whacky-fun mobile that was designed for Forza Horizon.

He was pretty big 10-ish years ago when Monster energy drink and DC shoes were promoting him heavily. I remember him from this vid:



He did compete in "normal" rally too, I believe.

On top of being a rally car/drift/racing legend here in the states, was also featured a lot alongside Rob Drydek on his various TV shows and as mentioned helped Rob with starting DC shoes

RIP to a legend

RIP to an absolute legend. It’s crazy that after all the things he did, it would be in an accident when he was retired.

He was promoting them a heck of a lot more than they were promoting him. His first gymkhana video went insanely viral without any help

This is like Steve Irwin being done in by a sting ray, of all animals

Dyrdek didn't start DC with him AFAIK.

DC was a big time sponsor of RD but I'm not sure if he had an ownership stake.

You’re right….for some reason I thought I remembered hearing he was a founder but I think he was just one of their early guys they sponsored.
