Isle of Man TT Race (Motorbike Docu)

Post by losCHUNK »

Knows some of you liked 'GP - the killer years' and that some of you like dressing up in leather, so thought this could be up your streets (unless it was posted already) -

TT3D - Closer to the Edge



Mainly follows 1 person called Guy Martin but covers some of the notorious riders n all and their prep for the Isle of Man TT race, worth watching if your not even a big motorbike enthusiast (like me) imo. Not sure I can agree with it seeing as I thought Group B rally got banned for similar reasons that I agree with, but on the flipside I don't wanna see it gone and it looks like the riders would be pretty pissed off it it did anyway :shrug:

I would have provided a direct link but seeing as there's an advert on YouTube for it, I didn't wanna get this place into any trouble :)

I watched less than 10 mins of that before I got bored. That's likely the fault of the documentary maker more than anything.

That's like saying, "DTS' posts are stupid, but that's the fault of DTS more than anything." Could you possibly be more redundant?

But in this case it's more than likely that it's just dumb ol DTS not knowing wtf the documentary is about.

I caught the fastest lap that after watching it :up:, definitely needed more onboard cameras. Planning on watching the other one when I fancy it n all :up:

I don't mind slow moving shows following a group of people so long as it's building to something. Remember the F1 race that got postponed like 2 years ago because of rain and the BBC coverage had to show all sorts of 'boring' shit that they would'nt normally show ?, I loved that lol. I thought it built up great, especially going into the final race and seeing what happens to the people you've just spent the last hr+ hearing about, Duke's balls of steel doesn't come close.

Was weird watching them talk about their job like the old F1 racers when it was seen as death trap n all.

That Guy Martin video is mental. I'd be crapping my pants all the way through.
