The speed wobbles after the riders become a bit light over crests is CRAZY!! I've seen
vids from this event before...sends chills everytime.

This is the video you have to see (amazing how he brings it back from near disaster!)

The TT definitely a event to attend, was the craziest thing I've ever witnessed!



Edit:
Yo Magoo, what's with the Fuzzies . . .

A great soundtrack from Within Temptation (Faster) to go with the clip. Good band. Thanks for posting!

These guys are definitely the bravest of the brave. A mate of mine from Birmingham, Chris Bradshaw, died there while running in the Manx GP in 2010.

After watching the video I immediately looked up the song - I agree, Within Temptation has some great tracks, and "Faster" definitely suits the video very well!

Sorry to hear about your friend, very unfortunate. I admire him for pursuing his dreams and doing what he loved.

Just came across this video and had to bump this thread.

if you think the Isle of man TT is nuts, the Irish seem to always find a way to one-up the brits on the bat**** crazy front.

I give thee, the Irish Roadracing Series. Take the isle of mann, add narrower roads, oh and GRIDED STARTS, none of this time attack swinery.

The Irish stuff is good but it's the exact same crowd that run at the Isle of Man!!

Sweet! I admire those that lack the fear that most of us have.

Those on-bike video clips are crazy!
The Subaru recovery was sweet.
I had to make sure I didn't drive within 2 hours after watching those videos...
