t3hWIT Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) It's been less than 24 hours, so I'm sure a higher quality version will find it's way to youtube. For those of you who missed it, this is Pastrana's tribute to Colin McRae at the X-Games. Higher quality version: http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/...videoId=3517936 Edited August 4, 2008 by t3hWIT Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 We don't get the x-games live over here anymore and it's usually buried in the TV schedules late at night weeks after it takes place so thanks for posting that. The video itself was very moving as Linky said. Link to comment

Big Gordon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 A tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. Very moving. Pastrana obviously held Colin in the same regard as we all did. Link to comment

t3hWIT Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) <gulp> Got something in me eye, I think.Thanks for posting that. Worthy of addition to the Gathering website... No problem, I figured if anyone were to appreciate it, it'd be the Scots. I added a link to a higher quality version to the original post. Edited August 4, 2008 by t3hWIT Link to comment

emoe Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) well done for finding that. well done for Travis Pastrana to show that Colin was not just an icon to us out here, but also to those on the IN-FIELD too. I think that the piece of film should be played on a big screen to all and everyone at Prodrive on the saturday of the run. Nobody could say what he said better! God speed Colin Mcrae gone but NEVER forgotten. Edited August 5, 2008 by emoe Link to comment

j10 dly Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) I know it's already been said, but a great find mate , and so glad you have posted it up for us all to enjoy. It's messages like that, that just make me glad to be a part of the McRae Gathering, so everyone can see just how much the guy meant to us all Cheers James Edited August 6, 2008 by J10 DLY Link to comment
t3hWIT Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Not a problem. As soon as I saw the tribute, I knew I had to post it up here. Edited August 7, 2008 by t3hWIT Link to comment
rallyfever Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks for the posting, I was already really looking forward to paying my respects to Colin for a 2nd time - but now I just want the McRae Gathering to be here so we can all show the big man how much he is still in our hearts. Maybe he will see his name on the track from his WRC upstairs and have a grin on his face!!! LLets make sure we make him proud and set a new record for him at the same time - 1000 Scoobies roaring!!!! Kinda having problems typing here through the glaze in my eyes, nothing to do with dust - the VT just brings it all back how much the guy changed everyone linked to Subaru's lifes. See you all on the 30th in Lanark. Link to comment
