Seeing him in the trailer brings me back to the moment I found out he died. I was in the hospital, my wife was giving birth to our first. Daughter came with collapsed lung, had to go to NICU. Wife was resting, I was roaming the halls at 3AM and checked my phone. Crushing.
Damn. Got goosebumps watching the trailer and now someone’s cutting an onion in my living room (yes I’m a mamas boy italian, we get emotional). I recall that day vividly - just finished a long trail run and turned it on only to have a friend call me and tell me not to watch the race.
“Then I will be arrested … “ 58’s helmet was a size small, but his hair still fit just fine. He was kind to my wife for a few minutes when we caught up with him in the paddock at Indy.
Watched that race and when it happened I was completely horrifed and sick to my stomach. If I was Rossi and Edwards, even though it was the most unfortunate racing incident ever and they had zero fault in what happened, I don't know if I could have gotten on a bike again after being involved in that.
I was at Colin's boot camp shortly after that. He was still injured. Not a topic of conversation around the camp fire. He seemed resigned to the fact that sh*t happens.
I like the aspect of watching with subtitles. I feel it helps understand foreign ways of thought more than when things are paraphrased or translated to audible English language. specially tone, context, and overall feeling. When they are overdubbed I feel like there’s a filter there I can’t get passed. Can’t wait to watch it
