Wonder Ride - A Tribute to Mark L. Rivers

[Duplode]

A video tribute in honour of one of the greats...
General observations:
- It's not on YouTube due to their "audio fingerprinting" system that cut off the sound without a hitch.
- It's my first attempt at video editing, so I can only hope it makes justice to Mark.

Great!

[BonzaiJoe]

Great work!
Nice to see the quotes too - and I was particularly impressed by the noRH clips which I hadn't seen before! Well done Mark L.

I don't think he's retired... he's just on a long break. I hope to see some similar high level replays from him in the future.

I think some of the other great retired drivers (Akoss Poo, Alain, Argammon, Dottore, Renato Biker, etc.) also deserve a tribute video. And some of the semi-active pipsqueaks too, like Gutix and Rotoi.

Great video. I'll miss him in NoRH. Our battles back in SDR were great!

Excelente video...

Mark se merece esta distinción, por ser, junto a otros, un Gran Maestro del Stunts.

Have you sent an email to Mark about this thread?

[Mark L. Rivers]

It's not necessary, BJ, I'm here...

Well... it's a wonderful gift...

Thank you, really thank you so much for this present, Duplode. The sequences you picked, the music you chose and, above all, the thoughts that pushed you to realize your video, are a clear evidence about which person you are, a fine man, a man with noble sentiments. A friend, for me.
And this thread with so many accolades and attestations of esteem from all of you, remember me a touching scene of one of my favourite film ever, "A beautiful mind". I mean when the protagonist, John Nash, is sitting in the bar of Princeton University and all his old fellows give him their pen, as a sign of agnition and acknowledgement. Not exactly the same thing, but with a very similar meaning and feeling for me.
Thanks all for all this. When I'll put again my Stunts helmet, it will be for you.

Wow, nice tribute, well done Duplode.
And it's nice to see you stay in touch with us Mark.

And it's nice to see you stay in touch with us Mark.

But I guess you would prefer Lise's touch...

OK, you're right.

What is L in Mark L. Rivers?

Maybe now that he retired (even if hopefully not for good  ), he can tell us what that L means...

My money is on "likes", he's a kayakker, or a fisherman, or perhaps a stunts maniac who likes to jump over water with a car...
