They never would have imagined the types of machines available today back in 1907. Be nice to bring one of those old boys back to see what they created.
🏜️🌵
For sure op. Id like to see the face of a old timer when told that the fastest lap is over 130mph. 😂
I'll dig one up now 😂

I really like this series so far. Beautiful crisp shots and a good amount of slow motion with low background music and mellow narration. Thanks for sharing.🛵🏍🚀
Superb isn't it... Real insight into the riders thoughts also.. Fantastic

My parents owned a guest house in Douglas, the TT is the most awesome time every year, I've never experienced anything like it. I was a marshal at St. Ninians one year, worked in the palace hotel another year, the island comes alive and yearns for the TT every year. Long may it continue to bring joy and accolades to the absolute mad men that race that course.
If only I focused on studies the way I focused on this video and it's parts. I would be a billionaire.
Jokes apart - This is beautifully edited, captured and great way of story telling. ❤️
"Your trying to hold on to it like a flag" class!!!!!!
Milky is addicted to TT. The smile on his face every time he thinks about. 😍
He really is - he always bring the greatest energy to the paddock
@@TTRacesOfficial Isle Of Man T.T. ... because football, tennis and golf only require one ball 😉👌💯🇮🇪
🏜️🌵
I was thinking exactly the same thing!!!!!!!!
The excitement and passion in his voice after all these years is awesome to see and hear........
Keep er lit Milky!
He's an absolute legend ..
brilliant Nigels
Amazing
unglaublich schön und so viel Action Unerklärlich
Suddenly the stupid amount of money I spent on this widescreen monitor makes so much sense. Breathtaking.
' Do you realise what you've just done you nobs ' QUALITY 😂😂😂😂👌.
Hopefully ALL riders have a safe TT this year. Lookin forward to it.
Awesome,simply the best motorcycle race in the world!
Heaven on earth, quite simply!!!
Incredibly powerful documentary.
I was lucky to be able to fly in get 4 laps on Manx weekend on a RD350 and the fly out . The wave of euphoria that come over me after the 4laps was so amazing that I managed to miss my flight home… what an amazing place!
Shout out to Lance & kath for the bike ❤
Before knowing anything about the TT , I always wondered if high speed road races happen anywhere in the world on public roads..... It was like a dream , I use to imagine as a kid while riding my bicycle fast in narrow streets of India.
Then 7-8 years back I heard about the TT , and to this day it blows my mind , it's my wish to come and witness it live in the Isle.
Awesome upload , love from India.
If 2023 isnt the year, maybe we'll see you in 2024! In the meantime, you can watch the live coverage in June on TT+ with a TT+ Live Pass so you don't have to miss out - ttplus.iomttraces.com/products/tt-live-pass-2023
Hope you get there bro!
Best 15 quid ive ever spent!
Gold dust!
Cheers.
Hi, mate.
I hear the roads in India are a bit like the Isle of Man! 😂😉
Ireland is the road racing hub. There are 15 different races. Nowhere else in the world has this.
Having drove the TT course in my car, two things stood out to me. 1) the road is nowhere near as wide as it looks on the fish eye lens of the cameras, 2) The weather.. It can be sunny down the mountain, and thick fog so dense you can't see 6 feet if front of you up the mountain. The IoM TT is nuts!!
If there’s one thing to take from this series…..it’s the riders who just get it, they understand what it is about the mountain course that’s bites you on the ankle, then doesn’t let go….like a Jack Russell, it keeps nipping away at you , you don’t know why you are drawn back, apart from the sheer love and the thrill ……because any sane person would look at it , and go …..no way……but they come back every year regardless…..👍🇮🇲💪
Hats off to the people who started it 👏
The slow mo really shows just how unstable the bikes are at any given moment. Amazing skills and courage.
Legendary Isle of Man 🥰🇮🇲 thank you and many greetings to 🏍IOM🏍 🖐😜👍👍👍👍👍
"The ultimate theme park, for the man and a machine" ---- beautiful.
This race just blows my mind. I'm nervous and on the edge of the couch just watching this race on TV 😂. All the best to all the riders here in 2023. 👍🇺🇲🗽🇬🇧👍
Try living within walking distance of the mountain course….5 mins from my backyard, I used to live in Kirk Michael….3 feet from the bikes going past…..we could stand at our front door and they literally went past within touching distance, I grew up with it, my dad was a flag marshal, ive marshalled, my mum has, and now my wife is signed up for 2023 to marshal…👍🇮🇲
@@ManxAndy You are 1 lucky dude, that would be sweet. Hope all is well over across the pond, all the best 2u and your loved ones. 👍🇺🇲🗽🇬🇧👍
Conor Cummins saying the mountain section is his favorite is just crazy and a great example of just how slightly mental these guys are. If you know, you know.
Thank you so much for this series, can't wait for the next episode!
TT+ is the best thing to happen for us fans over here in the states. Already signed up for this year. Cannot wait. Please keep this awesome content coming.
Glad we can keep you involved all the way over there throughout the year! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ol mate you got to come over 1day and watch it live its fukin awesome, my wife hates motorbikes I drive her mad but I took her over to the tt and she loved it she nearly shit herself wen they come past doing 180 mph lol anyway enjoy watching it this year mate all the best from London England 👍🏴
@@TTRacesOfficial Thanks! I've been waiting for coverage for years as well. I was able to obtain some ITV4 recordings back in 2010, 2011 but not the same thing as watching live. I plan on making a trip to the island in a few years when my kid is a bit older and can enjoy the experience as well.
This is so well done! As someone who is just starting to get interested in the Isle of Man TT, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks folks!
Great to hear from new fans! Join us on socials too - we're on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok 🙌
I got an early bird streaming pass after watching episode one last week! How good is it?!
@@DeanosMallonski Excellent choice! Perhaps see you on the hedges 2024 😁🏍
Look up Closer to the Edge if you haven't seen it already. Great documentary about the TT
Oh man, you gotta watch the movie/documentary about Joey Dunlop and the Dunlop family, entitled 'Road'.
These Promo Videos have been absolutely spectacular this year so far ❤️
These guys are the elite; even better than MotoGP.
I’ve had this argument with MotoGP and BSB fans many times. It’s two drastically different races. Riding for first in a pack vs riding solo against the clock.
Guys like say, Michael Dunlop, will destroy any MotoGP or BSB racer on the course. But in BSB, he’s not even average. Same with Dean Harrison and Conor Cummins. Even John McGuinness was just ok in BSB. But again, they’d destroy Marquez at IOM.
Nice to spot us in ballaugh at 12:10
Can wait for the TT to start, best fortnight of the year.
The toughest men in racing sport hands down!! You can actually die from this sport
What an amazing documentary..!
Well done to everyone involved with its production....
I seen TT closer to the edge, years ago which captured and portrayed the essence of road racing beautifully.
Which i thought couldn't be improved upon. But all of you have done so much more to portray the TT in a fantastic light.!!
Great stuff guys, looking forward to the next episode already 😊
Awesome series guys and girls!!
Pure magic.
Awesome tribute to the Greatest Race in the World!
Sidecar action also kicks ass...
Thank you.
This series is superb. What lovely video. Thank you.
'200mph and the bars are going lock to lock and you're just trying to hang on....' this is why these lads are so special.
I like these crazy men
BALLS OF STEEL NO JOKE THE LOVE OF HARMONY RIDING A BIKE WITH GOD

The tt to me is the ultimate bike race the track racing can't compare to this what must be going threw they're minds sitting on the start line with bray Hill just around the corner is mind blowing real heroes 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've been off my rocket since 2008... Miss it everyday. Watching these videos makes me feel alive again
No greater feeling than when you witness the TT for the first time, gives me goose bumps thinking about it now!
These videos are fantastic
I love this series Thank You.
Awesome love can't wait to return .
Really love TT ❤️❤️🇮🇹
Love it
I could listen to these guys and watch this racing all day, absolute balls of steel! Brilliant! 🙏🏽🏍

Hope to ride on this magnificent track on day
I rid it on mad Sunday in 2008 I was doing 100 on the mountain I thought I was a half decent rider then people coming past like I was standing still I realised I weren't that good lol ,but absolutely loved every single minute then I had a terrible accident 2010 and I haven't rode since but I wouldn't change a thing great memories .your get there its amazing all the best mate from London England 👍🏴
@@matthewcaton930 Thanks mate. I'm 22 and unemployed lol got alot of work to do and gain alot of experience on a motorcycle before i will step a foot on this track but I'll definitely will. And thanks again for the best wishes
@@eren8279 sounds to me your pretty determined so you will do it and believe me their are some loony toon riders on that sunday btw have you ever checked out the ghost rider if not do it hes a swedish fella takes all his plates off and gets police chases and fuk me he can ride Just type in ghost rider your love it let me know wot you think all the best mate 👍🏴
@@matthewcaton930 Yesss i have seen all of his videos. I watch alot of moto vlogers like Gixxer brah, will kid hill, maxwrist. My fvrt is that guy murtanio he only rides on tracks and documenting his journey ever since he started riding 7 years ago.
@@eren8279 yeah I've seen gixxer pretty good I used to ridi yami r1 but I had a bad crash in 2010 not my fault it was front wheel blowout I was going about 120 mph I bounced down the mway like a rag doll my thigh bone smashed through my pelvis and it was sticking out my hip by 6 inches broke my ribs ,wrist, arm,collarbone I dont remember a thing my friends who were riding with me thought I was dead but I lived to tell the tale.i find it to painful now to ride a sports bike I have tried many times I love bikes but I've had to reside I'll never ride again, fukin heartbreaking specialy wen my friends are all out on a hot day but there you go at least my kids still have a father. My boys both have bikes and I panic like fuk till they get home but anyway that's my story I wouldn't change a thing good luck mate in all you do hope you find a good job soon I really do you sound like a nice lad take care bro👍🏴
Good old McGuinness, no nonsense, no bullshit and straight talking. I love it.
Please keep making these!
drone footage is amazing, hard to pick out where you are though, from the road view i can pick out all sections of the track.
Greatest track and races on the planet. Love the place it is magical and all the riders legends for taking on the course.
That was a fantastic video. Well done!
Great series 👊✊️✊️
🔥🔥🔥💪
The IOM TT is simply amazing, magnificent… this video, the editing and music moved it up to epic! I have heard many times that it is compared to a near religious experience.. I can believe that.
super exelent
oh besten Dank dass Ihr spaß daran hattet Episode 3 folgt
Thanks for this epic episode, Isle of Man TT!
They are not a Rider but...
They are Warrior.
It's funny when all the riders talk about the names of the corners and when Joey Dunlop was asked he said he didn't know the names, he knew the corners by what gear he should be in and what speed he should be at. 😅
As a bike rider i some this up as super crazy and fuckin beautiful. Only people who love riding will truly understand this.
REAL MEN . Each and everyone .
if i could travel back in time, i would like to bring an onboard video from today to the guys that created the event.
Nobody will ever love the TT more than Milky, that's for sure
I bought my Bike, because I watched a program here in Brazil I was hallucinated with what I saw, that was in 2014 since then I follow the TT, and here in Brazil I dream of one day being able to watch you there. 🔥🔥🔥
A great episode 🚀🚀🚀🏍️🏍️🏍️
This is definitely on my bucket list. We don’t get the coverage here in the states, but you can find it if you look hard enough.
Insanely fast hope it never goes away
You can get all the coverage live as it happens (and then it’s yours on demand for the rest of the year if the time zones make watching it live a little less easy) on TT+ with a Live Pass in the US. Check it out here - ttplus.iomttraces.com/products/TT-live-pass-2023 🤩
🔥🔥🚀🚀😍😍💪
What a spokesman ya have in that Milky character eh
The only thing that come closer is the Dakar Rally on bike.
Being dying for this, when is the next episode? 😀 I can admit I'm fully addicted! 👍
Next Wednesday on UA-cam, or get it on Monday on TT+! - ttplus.iomttraces.com/between-the-hedges-s1
@@TTRacesOfficial awesome thank you! 😀
man i just wish conor wins a race this year. he was so close last year
cool vid
Amazing how human they look 😳
as much as i enjoy watching the races on this course, it's foolish more than anything else and the riders know we know it.
imo that's a big part of the charm... like mr Hickman put it @10:09
🇮🇲Not sure what’s is my favourite bit of TT corse but if I had to think about it then it’s gotta be the them fast swooping corners..
On a REAL!, Imagine chilling in your back garden and next minute you’re got Super-bikes, millimetres away from your brick wall going flat out is music to my ears..
We're very lucky to live here and live it!
@@TTRacesOfficial Oh yh decent lucky for some i guess
La mejor carrera del mundo en motos
Estamos de acuerdo 🤙🤙
I hope John wins 🏆 one more and Dean gets one
How can you ever compare Dean Harrisons accent?! 😅 There's nothing like this 😘🇨🇭🇨🇭
Please do an episode dedicated for the TT docs. Please
Have you seen the podcast episodes with Dr Gareth Davies, the TT Chief Medical Officer? Check it out here, it's one of the best - ttplus.iomttraces.com/videos/25-dr-gareth-davies-part-1 or on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/Cg9OsWbI8I0/v-deo.html or wherever you listen to podcasts!
Thanks for no annoying midroll ads,
I let opening and closings ads run as always..
If people want to do it then great but racing there at the limit is insane
Looks like they have massive fuel tanks.
How many gallons do they hold?
It's been a dream of mine to visit Isle of Mann and be a spectator, just can't afford to do so.
Old guy with balding combover Mohawk. That looks fine.
💗✊
How about starting the race in da other direction? It will change the entire dynamics and technicality of the course
Take a f1 ride down theresite seeing down cork .could be a similar track to Baku. City war fair.
This is great but i feel Dakar is the only thing comparable to the TT. not the speed definitely not the speed. Though the insane course being alone, just you the nav and the cap heading on the bike. unless you are a factory rider with service bikes riding along side you. the distance of the Dakar how essentially every corner is different. rocks dunes. I fully agree with this film and I'm loving every part of it. I just wanted to input my 2 cents both sports are great and at their peak performance and highest danger. compared to motocross and motogp. I am certainly not hating on the video or anything.
Strange thing is we feel like we have to apologise for maybe preferring another faction of racing, dirt bikes ar my Achilles heel but anything going skillfully flat out rings my bell 🤙
@@peterbalac1915 yeah man its annoying. I don't want to come off as a hater so try please everyone 😂
Dakar definitely tests a rider like the TT does - did you see James Hillier has done both? He compares the two here - iomttraces.com/latest/features/douglas-to-dakar-james-hillier/ #DouglasToDakar
Thank you…I’d watched everything else about IOF thousands of times. 😢
Does anyone know the name of the background music?
