Isle Of Man TT 2011 - The ups and unfortunate downs

New TT Video for 2013 now live: • Isle of Man TT - One Life
My IOM TT journey for 2011. From paddock and pit stop tactics with Carl Fogarty and Paul Shoesmith to mountain road tragedy and of course race footage with filming only a few feet away from racers travelling at 170mph.

[@smoothlennie]

Excellent video and very apt and thoughtful tribute at the end - nice job,

[@ANNEBALD21]

Hi Hope I have the right person!! lovely chatting to you today, brought back some special memories of my trip to the TT in the 90's!! Love the u tube uploads. Have a mighty time @ TT 2012. Ride Safe.

[@schmebley]

great film .....really enjoyed the variety of the contence.....top job

[@Carlos_500]

Hi there, thanks for your comment, always good to chat about the TT, nice meeting you too, new video in June... time to get packed now and set the bike up :)

[@Carlos_500]

Thanks for your comment, Bray is a great place to watch, I went this year and filmed again from different spots, you can see the new TT 2012 video on my channel page, first shot is my favorite from Sulby Straight

[@r1tchie21]

That was very well done. that's it, that's the TT and the beautiful Isle Of Man.

[@hondated]

Great video and its made me want the 1st June to come even quicker when I will be over there. Cannot wait.

[@missydee6085]

Great work Carlos! It's brought the memories flooding back to me - especially the accident on Mad Sunday that saw the mountain road closed off (for what seemed like an eternity). God there were some lunatics out & about that day: & not necessarily in a good way tbh. I distinctly remember very nearly being wiped-out by a 4x4 reversing (!!) back up the road at Mountain Box after a push-bike had fallen off the back of it; & then getting undertaken, by some fully-commited nutjob on a Gixer, at Windy Corner, despite the speed restriction there. Thank God the racing during the week was fantastic - otherwise I'd probably have been left traumatised!

[@Carlos_500]

@cmmhelmond Many thanks mate, happy so many people are liking it, I used sony vegas 11 to edit it all

[@Eggerson16VG60]

Great Video, thank you for sharing! This is what the TT is, pure fascinating!

[@Carlos_500]

Your welcome, I have another video for my TT 2012 journey and more to come for this years too. Ride safe

[@merryknees]

Awesome video, has to be the best all round amateur TT clip on youtube

[@Carlos_500]

@merryknees Many thanks, appreciate your comment, what an amazing week I had

[@1Frankiefish]

what a great insight to the TT from a visitors POV. Cracking edit with great soundtrack (Both bikes and music). This has made my mind up that I'm going next year! Even thought the wife wants me to sell the bike! Ha no chance!

[@layback590]

This is like motorcycle Heaven. I HAVE to go there before I die. Hopefully to race, but I wouldn't mind going to just watch.

[@pereira1904]

Excellent video for those who could not be there is a very good sample of what they lost. By the way, in Cronk-y-Voddy straight we were just on the outher side of the road.. Cheers from Portugal

[@Carlos_500]

@pompey616 Many thanks, I am glad I gave it justice, and there was so much more that wasn't filmed, another time maybe

[@vincemarshall8550]

[@valver86]

Excellent Vid, thanks for the upload.

[@Banditmanuk]

Great vid thanks for sharing. Was there myself in 2011 and this is a good reminder. Rode the 37 mile course several times over race week. The racing was amazing being able to get so close and I stood in the same point as you at the bottom of Bray Hill watching the bikes bottom out. Love to go again.

[@Carlos_500]

I believe it is 207mph on the Sulby Straight section by Bruce Anstey, around 2009 or so

[@Carlos_500]

@THEDrummerofTought yeah you should be able to watch it all on ITV4 website, hopefully everyone has access to the channel. 159 days now ;)

[@Carlos_500]

@tattootiadog Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it

[@Carlos_500]

@layback590 if you go book the ferry around Xmas time and you can camp or try Homestay where you stay in someones home for the visit, again book around Xmas for that coming year. Having said that I met a guy there last year and he just rode up to the port and got on the next ferry and then found somewhere to stay when he got on the island, he was lucky though

[@Dravensdmf]

awesome video, thank you.

[@Carlos_500]

@Pdigsss Thanks mate, yeah Foggy is a legend indeed, cool guy

[@Carlos_500]

[@patrinauta]

[@pdigsss6872]

dude that was apleasure to watch...wow king foggy even nice

[@cmmhelmond]

@JazzFiveO Cheers, i will give that a go ... see what montrosity I can come up with LOL :)

[@merryknees]

Your video certainly shows it. Have a safe 12months and come back next year for more or why not come over for the MGP. Same set up as the TT but more towards the classic bikes. Not as busy spectator wise so more chance to see the rest of the Island. You could come along to our grass roots Drag race event manxdragracing com. cheers

[@lucajoebar]

at 10:30 it's me on a black KTM SuperDuke!!!

[@Carlos_500]

@59bitty thanks mate

[@Praetorian1234]

The modern superbikes are regularly cracking 190 mph on various sections of the course. Guy Martin reckons he can get 185-190 down bray hill! Mc Guinness recked 200mph possible past wagon and horses too! Its a mans race for men the TT!

[@Carlos_500]

@stickyslick Cheers mate

[@33maraba]

how much is the maximum speed yet attained in this event ?

[@tigra915]

To jest to co najbardziej kocham :)

[@Carlos_500]

@TaBelleSte Merci ami!

[@floryn28]

Does anyone know how to participate in these races? are for amateurs?

[@HalJikaKick]

Love that soundtrack music. What is it?

[@Carlos_500]

+Toka Reva It's "Climbatize" by The Prodigy. From the great Fat Of The Land album.

[@fatterheadder]

cool video.

[@alanvt1]

No over the mountain?

[@Carlos_500]

@r1tchie21 Thanks, beautiful indeed, I had a great time

[@cmmhelmond]

@JazzFiveO I will give the program a go thanks :)

[@Carlos_500]

@ralfystuff Many thanks

[@bitblack69]

carlos did you have a vip ticket or do you get that close to the pits and bikes normaly

[@Carlos_500]

The paddock is open to anyone all during the TT fortnight, you can meet racers and see mechanics working on bikes very close up, to get into the pits you do need a pass and know someone from one of the teams or be working in the pit lane for a racer. My advice is if you like speaking to the pro racers to go during practice week, they have more time to give and enjoy speaking with everyone. Enjoy and ride safe!

[@MrWeasel1984]

at 2 minutes 10 secs is that george micheal with john mcguiness? hahaha

[@bunkerowl]

Really cool vid, makes me want to go and i live there.lol :oP
