Please tell me somebody else saw McRae flip his Subie and *barely* take second to Pastrana. My god. McRae is an animal.
Flips the car on the final jump, lands right side up and punches the gas to finish the race, barely missing first by .7 secs.
The interview was awesome as well. McRae is totally "well, I flipped it and kept driving" Pastrana, as he should, bows down to McRae "That man is a god!"
So awesome. Somebody please find the video and post it up!

that was amazing...i thought he was actually win....adding rally to the x games was a big plus

 

[stoney]

Thanks! I haven't seen that angle.
He is truely a driving god.

I was talking with a buddy of mine today about how in one of his first rally's as a co-driver, they went off a cliff and flipped 5-6 times. While they were flipping, the driver calmly reached down and killed the engine and hit the fuel cutoff. Totally different mentality. I need to get into that sport.

 

[stoney]

It was so close. If he had won... my god. I think pastrana would have kissed his feet.
If you look at the other drivers, when they are sliding, they all correct their steering. McRae just flick it sideways, and is pointed correctly with minimal if any corrective steering. He's f'in amazing.

Thats cool that pastrana knows his place......









.....Damn I gotta stop kissing his ass

Yep Rally racing in General is the SH1T! My DC shoes PR guys couldn't get any press credentials for some reason so I didn't get to bring any gear to shoot, but was at the X-Games today. It was also McCrae's birthday, so after the Freestyle moto-x we all headed out and did some celebrating. Collin and Travis are both really cool guys that just love racing. That and Travis can do double backflips wich is pretty sick.

I forgot to mention, did the sound of McCrae shifting into 1st whilst upside down so he could hit the ground running come through on TV. If anything shows his skill level as a driver it has to be that.

 

[stoney]

you can hear it in the vid chico posted. That's f'in unreal.

adding rally to the x games was a big plus

its been my favorite thing to watch.

 

[Munster]

Yep, that was exciting. I'm surprised a major network showed as much of the rally event as that. I was expecting a few minutes of highlights.

 

[ALEXIS_DH]

Yeah, that was pretty sweet.

those cars had blow off valves???
dont tell me they got blow offs and anti-lag at the same time...

 

[skinny mike]

so it sounds like the whole rally event went over well. but damn i wonder how much pastrana would've been beaten by if mcrae didn't flip.
