Oh and I forgot to add.... the big crash they do show repeatedly was Connor Cummins, for those of you that don't follow the IoM races.
Yes he did live through it and was back racing the next year.

Cool Vid. In my opinion, the guys who race Isle of Mann and Irish Superbike for barely enough money to pay the rent and make it into next year have more guts, courage and ***** than any of the millionaires with factory rides competing in MotoGP or WSB.

Just don't stand too close... The small paintmarks on the corners of the houses and stone walls along the course isn't from crashes... It's from the top of the helmets when some of the riders are shaving time... I'm not kidding... :shocked:

My best friend and his wife wre at the TT 3-4 years ago and they had a blast. The riding is incredible to watch. I strong suggest getting the videos and sit back with a brew or 2. You don't ever get bored at watching the street races.

Awesome video thanks. Never wanted a DVD or Bluray racing video before but this makes me want to go shopping. I have an 8' projection home theater system w surround sound that would rock this. Do you know of a high quality HD production or a particularly eventful Isle of Man video?
The offering below looks interesting, but I've never seen any of their stuff.

This has got to be one of the best spectator races in history. I am getting the blu-ray video.
Can you imagine walking outside your front door to get the morning paper and seeing this TT on your street? Haha.
Here's what one racer says:
"I have a huge respect for the riders who ride this circuit flat out on a Superbike as it requires massive courage and concentration."
"It's dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on."
-Valentino Rossi
