All that is man.
Holy. Shit.
There’s a movie about this I believe. Called “TT3D: Closer to the edge” or something along those lines. I’ve tried to find it online but have been unsuccessful in finding a legit copy.
god damn
Bump… On Velocity right now.
Good bump
The Isle of Man is also a great place to stash your money, FYI :snky:
I will shamelessly admit to you all that I would never have the balls to try something of even fractional value to what these guys are doing.
Just impressive.
x2^ these guys are nucking futs.
x3
Maybe in a car, but then it’s no where near as insane.
I’d do it. I’d kill myself, but i’d do it.
X2. So why cant we have events like that here?
Because if one person (citizen)out of one hundred thousand didn’t want it, it would never happen. And if anyone but the rider got hurt there would be huge lawsuits.
I would love the opportunity to ride on groomed roads like this and fly through a city.
That being said… if these guys are pushing at 90%, my equivalent would be like 2%. These guys have zero fear. (I remember when they interviewed some MotoGP riders about the TT guys, their response was “ef that, those guys are insane”

When you watch a go pro video of a decent rider in the states from first person pov, it’s as if they’re crawling at a snails pace. ( often watch and think, he could be going 2x faster and still have plenty of room)
When I watch the Isle of Mann videos, the opposite is true, I think that they’re going 2x as fast as they should be. Sometimes I feel like they are defying the odds at each turn. I truly can not fathom the speeds at which they’re racing at. :tup:
^ Good point. Almost every video you watch it seems slower than it actually is. Except these, where you’re thinking “my god, did someone hit fast forward”.
So true, and so fun to watch. I would LOVE to see this in person someday.
New vid BUMP
How does the human brain even process decisions at those speeds?
