The rider with the Kiwi on his helmet was Bruce Anstey who comes from New Zealand. He has been forced to miss a few recent TT's because he had cancer but happily he has managed to beat it and has started to race in selected races again.

Hey Guys, Team TT had such a laugh watching your reactions to this TT footage. The Isle of Man is a small Island located between England and Ireland (Near enough slap bang in the middle), the racing takes place for 2 weeks, the first week being a practice week and the second week being the racing week. During this period the Islands 85k population triples and visitors from all over the world come and watch, including NZ! Great video and we hope you get to visit the racing for yourselves one day!

Your correct the hump that's integrated into their suits was initially designed for aerodynamics and it does increase top speed.

The hump on the back of their leathers is for aerodynamics, and it also holds things like a water bladder and electronics for data collection (everything on GP motorcycles are tied to computers,) as well as the electronics to trigger air-bladders for protection after crashes. The IoMTT used to be an annual part of the FIM Motorcycle Grand Prix (predecessor to MotpGP,) but in 1976, due to safety concerns and boycotts by factory riders, it was removed from the Grand Prix circuit.

And that's before even considering the road conditions.

[@mbo191]

It does happen that parts break. Robert Dunlop had a bad crash some years back when the hub of his rear wheel collapsed. The result of that crash was that they started x-raying the wheels to make sure there isn't any bubbles or other flaws in the metal before they go out and are sold in the shops.

What a great reaction from you guys. Definitely a bucket list thing. I’ve been to New Zealand and it’s the most beautiful place in the world. You are a lovely family by the way. Thanks for a great video.

[@gun_tur_qumz1338]

That was insane.. Great reactions! And beautiful family! Stay positive guys😉

[@jamesjones8482]

Great reaction video! The broken back must have taken quite a bit of reconstruction to be that successful. ✝

[@Fitforlife40]

As crazy as this sounds, I would love to do this one day! Lol. I love me some dangerous speed but, let’s all be honest, these boys are insane!

[@mymartianhome]

I went there out of season, the place is magnificent, I took my motorcycle round the circuit once, never got close to those guys, they have testicles made of solid brass at least a foot in diameter,

[@daveman439]

it's all about.. FREEDOM!!¡!!!!!!!!!

[@laurielovett8849]

Its a beautiful place, I was there in its heyday as a holiday resort in 1936, I was almost 4 but remember it. The donkey rides on the strand,amusements,my big brother brought me on the" mountain slide" remember seeing groups of rabbits or were they hares sitting around in the fields at sunset,a magical place, or was it cos I was so young. Not so popular as a resort now since foreign trips became so popular, mores the pity, would love to go visit again, love motor bikes, but I'm now an 90 year old little girl,with balance problems, damn it I will go next year,I can only fall,and the grounds not far away since I broke my back I'm only 4 ft10 inches tall. wider than I'm tall

It's actually very rare to see crash videos from the Isle of Man TT races, because they will never show a crash if the rider died, and most of the crashes do result in death. It's an amazing race and those guys that do it and absolutely cut from a different cloth!! They don't even really get much of anything for winning either, the prize pool is tiny. It's just basically a trophy and bragging rights. Since the race is only ran once per year (over a weekend at the end of May), and it's all on public roads, the riders can't even practice the "track" throughout the year. It's also one of the longest running races that still exists, having first started in 1907 and ran pretty much every year since.

[@montybrewster7]

I love the look of concern on your little lad's face all the way through that, ha haaa.

[@jamesjennings4401]

Such a beautiful family...keep the video's coming!

[@catherinefoster1481]

Suggestion: Triple Crown races. Secretariat in particular. He was an AMAZING horse.

[@carldevries9108]

I can definitely second this. There are shorter videos of his Triple Crown that would fit nicely for a reaction video.

[@tigrarulez]

The little boy's face is like " My family may be shocked...but I WANT TO DO THAT !! "

[@ethelmini]

So much that's mind boggling about it. Memorising a track that long. The variability even once you've memorised it, sunlight, shadows, different weather from lap to lap. Then, if you've mastered all that, to do well you have to race the competition, slip streaming and out braking when you're already right on the edge.

[@dannydaniels2787]

A mates mate rides the TT Cameron Donald.NZ is represented well by Bruce Anstey. These guys are on another level. I know many pro riders who'd never do this race.

[@Seluecus1]

Both your kids were enthralled in one way, or another. Atlanta had the same reaction as some of those kids in the video. Bet if y'all went and saw this in person, as a vacation point, it would impress both of them even more.

[@donb7113]

Actress and singer Samantha Barks is from the Isle of Man. She was in the movie Les Miserable. My late wife fractured her spine in four places in a car accident and gratefully she was not paralyzed, though she died 4 years later due to complications. I stated that in response to Atlantas query.

[@maxw2090]

"Closer to the edge" Definitely worth watching if you're looking for a documentary about this topic !

[@chrisarkwright6876]

You beat me too it! I was just going to suggest that 😁

[@duanelavely5481]

I remember hearing around 1964 that somebody left their house in the village during the race & didn't get their gate latched. It swung open & one of the riders hit it at speed & I believe he was killed.

[@cinamon146]

Bro 141k subscriber’s already I remember when you barley had 40k

[@rickhowell3847]

Just to add to the list of amazing riders... Bruce Anstey, John McGuinness etc don't forget that these guys race in the classic TT on classic racers and one of the best is Maria Costello who rides a Paton 500. She is truly brilliant, right up there with the best, with nerves of steel like all of them. Looking forward to getting back there this year 2022....

Fun fact: in the UK we have a Speed Limit sign which is a grey circle with a diagonal white stripe from the top to the bottom corner. This means the National Speed Limit Applies. Back many years ago the UK as a whole changed the National Speed Limit from derestricted to; 60mph for single lane Roads and 70mph for dual carriageways. The Isle of Man didn't want to do this so their National Speed Limit has remained derestricted for all drivers until this day. This applies to most out of town areas on the Isle of Man, especially as there are no motorways on the Island. I believe this change came about when the UK motorway speed limit also changed from derestricted to 70mph.

[@JayzBeerz]

Beautiful family.

[@jenksify]

The look on Atlanta's face after they showed the crash was priceless. I don't think she was able to process the action the first time.

[@z.1628]

You are the second sicko here thats watching something else, than the majority here,isent that right,Horace? Dont you think this sentence is a little bit too much?And with a double meaning? To say :"I don't think she was able to process the action the first time",is normal for a old man like you,thats watching little girl,instead of the road? Hm,Horace? I will show you what "for the first time" actually means...Dont make me angry and dont you ever again say something like that.We are watching you... Youre already done.

[@jenksify]

@@z.1628 You sir need to get some serious help. If you got that impression from what i said about the look on someone's face tells me that you are the one thinking about double meanings. Please get some help.

[@elementalgolem5498]

Hey, the pack on the back is a combination, yes like you explained it connects up to the helmet quite well helping them be more aerodynamic, but its main purpose is to store the suit electronics that for example trigger the airbags in the suit, and keep track of other things. temperature etc.

[@Iamtheprinceso]

As a person from the Isle Of Man the title is very fitting because lots of motorcycle riders (and car drivers) have lost their lives on our roads

[@daddyknowsbest2341]

Had a Harley soft tail chopper about 16 years ago. Loved it, but would never get into the bike racing, but found it intriguing. But actually doing it was too extreme for me lol. Anyway, awesome video. Looking forward to the next. 😊👍🏽❤️

They "average" 135 MPh over the 35 mile course. They actually hit over 200 Mph.... 330 Kph.

This is the way to bring up children, show them what happens all over the world and interact with them. The knowledge that they will pick up without any fake nonsense will put them in a good place. 👍🏻

The "family reaction video" concept is so lovely and charming and heart-warming. God bless you and all true families. Thanks for sharing. ❤ and respect from Reggio di Calabria, Italia.

Not a NASCAR fan myself, but the history behind how it got started in the first place is pretty cool. You should check out "How Outlaw Moonshiners Started NASCAR" by Donut Media.

[@Jonathan_Taylor]

That is a good video. I feel the sport gets a bad rap in some ways. Most races are 250 miles to 500 miles. It's pretty much a straight line drag race with 30+ cars. But people don't look at it that way. They would if it was a street race like this..

[@renemanuel7128]

The drivers who delivered the moonshine would challenge each other to race. Without the weight of the moonshine or illegal alcohol th cars would fast.

[@ffalztar74]

I respect these riders. I just respect my life... I have children. I wouldn't want to try

I live in Kent England, my nextdoor nieghbour used to race around the isle of man with a Manx Norton bike I could hear him coming home 3 miles away from home the Norton's were so loud I've never been there myself. Good luck thank you. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
