Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
Not seen that exact one but seen most the bits before but it never gets tired, could watch it a million times. Never before noticed that in the conner cunningham off the field he and hi sbike land in is full of sheep that all make a run for it when he comes in notso quietly.

Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
I could watch IOM TT vids all day. Thanks for posting. I much prefer the ones with a few crashes in. Not because I'm morbid, but because it emphasizes how frikkin dangerous what they're doing is, and gives me even more respect for their madness. Obviously, I could ride faster with all three testicles tied behind my back, but I don't want to show anyone up.

Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
I still cringe when I see that Connor Cummins crash. There's one race (think it was last year) where it's wet and part way through Kieth Amor and Guy Martin get a bit twitchy and slow it right down, then WOOSH ... WOOSH the two Dunlop brothers fly past at Mach 10, full tilt, massive love spuds, all or nothing, 110%. I loved watching it, the race was red flagged seconds later as it was too dangerous to continue. These boys have no fear.
They get plenty of practice in the wet being from NI.

Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
I've got the TT DVD's of 2011, many hours of footage of all the races. Sends shivers down my spine watching some parts of it. Incredibly brave and talented riders.
