The Flying Manxman

We spent 4 days with Paul Cassidy, an Isle of Man TT Road Racer, as he and his team navigated a TT qualifying week. We documented what it's really like behind the scenes at the world's most dangerous motorsport event.

Really enjoyed that. We travelled from Canada this year to see a few days of racing for the first time. Much respect to Paul and everyone who races. And the marshalls, and the people on the island. Loved every minute of it and can't wait to come back. Just the greatest thing I've ever seen. Words can't describe it when that first bike goes by. Thought i was totally prepared but my mind was blown. TT forever.

Great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

TT forever! Thanks for the comment Greg, fingers crossed you are able to get back over again in the future!

Like you, I thought I was prepared. My Dad competed in the 1956 Junior TT and I grew up with with the Isle spoken of in revered tones. My Dads's eyes used to glaze over when he spoke of the Snaefell course. I finally managed to get over there in 2022 when my brother and I buried some of Dad's ashes between Keppel Gate and Kate's Cottage. That first day at the bottom of Bray Hill when John McGuinness flew by... mind totally blown! You can watch hundreds of videos, but until you are trackside you just can't comprehend the magnitude of what these warriors are doing. Don't hesitate- get yourself there before you die. You won't regret it.

Fantastic film and there should be more done with the "little" guys, rather than the McGuiness's and Hicky's of the world. It's the likes of Paul and all those guys at the back end of the paddock that make this event what it is. Roll on 2025 🇮🇲🏍🏁

[@ontrackmedia_]

100% agree, without the 'little guys' the event wouldn't run. Something I find fascinating is the drive and determination to compete in something that, ultimately, yields no tangible reward. Just the reward of being part of something you're deeply passionate about! Really appreciate the comment Micky :)

Enjoyed watching this from a hot tub 😁 I'm going to introduce you to madam whiplash for a damn good thrashing for your foul language 🤣

@@sponge115 we’ll send you James’ number and you can introduce him personally

@@ontrackmedia_ i know James personally and he loves it 😆 seriously though i enjoyed it, it was very real life to what happens in this game and what a fun burden it is 👍

[@ontrackmedia_]

@@sponge115 a fun burden, what a great way to describe it! We just tried to give the viewers a really authentic view on what it's like getting a road racing team off the start line!

[@sponge115]

@@ontrackmedia_ you did just that, great job 👍 hopefully we see more from you

[@petersykes8891]

Sounds like ginge misses quite a few things maybe he should take a bit of time and appreciate the scrutineers and what they find he misses. I know why he is so stressed because he must have at least 5 kids due to using out off date rubbers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲👍
