Unbreakable skier's McRae tribute

A WORLD class Scots skier is putting himself through a series of punishing TV survival challenges as a tribute to his boyhood friend, the tragic rally driving champ Colin McRae.

Winter Olympics hopeful Angus Morison has already come close to death during filming of the brutal Unbreakable TV challenge.

He was buried up to his neck in sand for over an hour in the deadly heat of the Sahara desert.

The superfit Scot had to be put on a drip and carefully monitored by a doctor as he recovered from the desert ordeal.

During that treatment he paid an emotional tribute to racing legend McRae, who was killed with his young son in a helicopter crash last year.

Now the 27-year-old from Lesmahagow, is focussed on making his name as the nations first ever Skier-X Olympic champion at the Vancouver games in 2010.
