Check out the Isle of Man TT Podcasts to see interviews with TT riders and some of those who work on the TT, there are some good pods. You can find them free on YT or for free on the IOMTT Website. But what all the riders say is that the worse bit for nerves is the 15+ minutes before the race. They get a horn warning 30 mins, 15 mins, 10 mins and 5 minutes before the race and there is a little bit called no man's land where only the riders are allowed and they are in that portion for 30 secs before they head down Glenclutchery Road and Bray Hill. Most say once they enter that area, all the nerves go and they are just concentrating on that stretch of tarmac in front of them. But the grid of a TT race is different to any other because it is filled with tension. One rider summed it up as "At any other race the mechanic always says bring the bike home. At the TT the mechanic says bring yourself home". They are a special breed and once the bug grabs you it doesn't let go.

I race here in the states at race tracks. The Isle is simply just the ultimate level, literal inches from curbs, cliffs, and brick walls on a road not a track surface. Its absolute insanity at the pace these guys push under these conditions and its absolutely beautiful. To see the total absence of fear controlling a racer to approach the absolute limit is just poetic.

I live on the Isle of Man and the atmosphere during TT fortnight is electric. We get thousands of visitors from all over the world. You can spectate within touching distance at some places on the course. It’s definitely in their blood. Great reaction thank you!

[@davebooth5847]

I've been a motorcyclist for 40 years. I used to sail over from Morecambe Bay to the Island with my dad and we'd tie up in Ramsey harbour, live on the boat for a week and watch the races. Other times I've taken holidays on the island, sticking a tent on the tail of my bike, going over on the ferry. I've ridden the course, but never at anything close to race speeds. I know my limitations, won't push it that far beyond them. But even rising that route at normal highway speeds gives you goosebumps. It's Holy Ground.

Not even the best drivers in the world who race on circuits like GP2 dare to race in this Isle of Man race... A big hug for you Mike and Jess!!

[@hugovilag]

The Isle of Man TT is a rare sight of what the rest of motorsport as a whole was back in day, turbo F1 cars, Can-Am, Group C and Group B, absolute balls of fire with 4 wheels and manual transmissions to wing them through the race. May we enjoy many more years of the TT. Very recommended to check Group B, when rallying had its brightest and darkest time, great deal of footage on YT, no need to do the 3 or so videos everyone goes for, an honest peek at that era of rally racing always wows people that don't know about it.

My uncle spent the last couple of years of a long career as the consultant radiologist at the main hospital on the Isle of Man. He said he'd never seen injuries remotely approaching what they had to deal with during the TT. Members of the public can ride the mountain section of the course between races with no speed limit, which only adds to the casualties. And to cap it off, they have another week for amateur riders (the Manx Grand Prix) over the same course, with lower qualification requirements. As you can imagine, similar mayhem ensues. Road racing in Britain is basically insane. Michael Dunlop is a famous biker from NI who has lost his father, uncle and brother to the sport, but keeps on competing...

[@lounolastname4477]

There are speed limits on parts of the mountain course and some parts are sectioned off to make it single file (using traffic cones) and the whole mountain course is one way traffic only for those two weeks. Also, there are way less crashes in Grand Prix and way less disruptions

You are right, there is an ever increasing level of risk riding-I have lost too many friends to mishaps on their bikes.-A good friend (he got the wife and I together back in 1980) who was a motorcycle safety instructor,as well as a driving school teacher was killed while minding his own affairs,-counting friends we have lost that way would take more than the fingers of one hand, then there are those who have been maimed....It is indeed a lot of fun,but there can be possible costs to consider.

[@arwelp]

The Isle of Man is in the middle of the Irish Sea, roughly equidistant from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, but crucially it is a Crown Dependency, not part of the UK, which means that it has its own Parliament (Tynwald) and makes its own laws, so at the beginning of the 20th century when road racing was banned in the UK it was legal on the island which is how the TT (Tourist Trophy) came to be first run in 1907. It’s been run every year since, except 1915-1919 for WW1, 1940-1946 for WW2, 2001 for foot-and-mouth disease in the UK, and 2020 and 2021 for COVID. Since the first fatality in 1911, as of 2023 there have been 269 rider and sidecar passenger deaths on the Mountain Course (used for the TT and Manx GP), also 2 race officials and 2 spectators, plus about a dozen others in out-of-competition incidents. The deadliest year was 2005, when 11 people died - 3 riders and 1 marshall in the TT in June, and 6 riders and a bystander in the Manx GP in August/September. Since 1937, the only racing year with no fatalities was 1982.

FIRST.:) I love your Channel but have one criticism. We love wondering what the reactors will think and say and the suspense and surprise behind that but you tell us BEFORE the video so we know and all that suspense and surprise has gone.:) Can't you let us know at the end because,at the moment, we are seeing the "end of the film" before all the parts that create that ending. lol Good Luck Guys.

[@RNTV]

@Isleofskye I respect your opinion. Here is why we do things this way. It allows us to be better informed on what we are presenting. We have been doing this a long time now and one issue we've always had was us making uninformed statements in our intros that caused many people to only comment on those things negatively. Whether it is an artist's name, or us just stumbling on some piece of info we don't currently have. The average view time would go down leading us to believe a lot of people would watch the intros, get upset, and just leave after making a negative comment informing us on things we were informed on by the end of the reaction. We try our best to only introduce what we are watching and give a few words. If you watch our reactions and ending thoughts you will see that we elaborate for several minutes on pauses when we go in on our thoughts even longer at the end. We do not spoil the suspense in our intros, only make more informed statements for those being introduced to what we are watching. Many other forms of media do this. We understand most reactors don't and it may be a bit jarring, but it's what we prefer.

[@Isleofskye]

NO airbags except your lungs, NO crumple zones except your bones, NO way you are going to survive a direct hit with something solid! These guys are a different breed! To be there in person is best. The video really doesn't give you an accurate impression of the speed as they pass you. This race is on standard roads with bumps and all the normal road hazards, except oncoming traffic! Crazy, yes!

I have been to the IOM TT twice as a spectator, in 2015 and 2019. We rented bikes in London, rode to Heysham, and took the bikes to the island on the ferry. Riding a motorcycle on the "wrong" side of the road was stressful for me. The island is beautiful, and there are some unique things there, as is common in an island culture. I think the IOM TT is too stressful for Jess.

it is the isle of man

[@Moneymark1979]

I like ur realistic view.... Love from Germany

[@finnman9149]

I recommend watching WRC RALLY in Finland

[@chris420x]

these guys got some fkin balls!, these boys are a different breed

[@givemespace2742]

Interesting side fact. The main lap board on the start finish line is run by the boy scouts and they do a professional and good job.

[@123boat]

He didn’t hit the wall. If he did he’d of been in bits 😳😂

[@davidcronan4072]

Right across the road from the main grandstand is a large cemetary. Just there to remind you what could happen!

[@garyfallows1123]

These guys are beyond legends, you should check out some of the sidecar racing

[@thorntonovski]

Saw a video when i was younger of a man who crashed his bike and his boot was on the floor, then i realised his leg was still inside the boot. Never fancied a bike after that

[@FrostyNugz_v4]

Awesome shout, Dinbah is an absolute savage.

[@michaellooney1089]

DIBNAH.

[@creativitycell]

I prefer the vidie with the rock track "faster & faster' its awesome with better bike shots!😮

[@miikahamalainen5343]

There's a full length documentary about TT called "Closer to the edge". I recomend to watch it. Unfortunately it is only awailable on google play movies and youtube

[@frantrictantric]

It may have the dubious title of being the deadliest, but all of the competitors and visitors will always declare it to be the greatest event globally. Been there over 40 times and cannot wait for TT2024.

[@alteredoggy]

that cemetery is right on the start line

[@edjemx]

I Could not imagine myself not having a motorcycle, its in my blood. I havent bin without a motorcycle since I was 11j old, i am now 53j. Except for cruisers, I have ridden racers for ten years, enduro, motorcross, and now adventure bikes. Die young as late as possible.

[@LowGrav1ty]

I would love it if you watched Guy's Broken Body.. (Guy Martin) he's an absolute nation treasure and has done lots of TV shows... such a genuine and warming personality 🥰

[@arnoldsaunders6073]

There's a small bridge on the course that's called the fairy bridge. The riders go to that location and say hallo to the fairies, because not do so would bring you bad luck.

[@arthurennimore-empties6709]

The fairy bridge is not on the TT course.

[@arnoldsaunders6073]

@arthurennimore-empties6709 Agreed, but it is visted by most riders.

[@priscillaroberts7945]

@@arthurennimore-empties6709 the original fairy bridge is down stream from the one on the Douglas to Port Erin road. Evidently the fairies like shiney things. I self identify as a fairy so if anybody has any diamonds they don't need i'll be on the island for tt and manx......... lol.

[@pamelariker5525]

I have always known about the TT Races, being from UK originally. But never saw even part of it before. I'll be honest, I've been on the back of a bike 2 or 3 times, and even bought a motor scooter at one time, BUT NO, I need more wheels under me!!! It's just terrifying to me!

[@miniminamanmina3715]

They are going way faster than you fall from a plane without a parachute .

[@josephRobson-br6zm]

Proper gladiators and there is nothing else like it in this world and I hope to have a go one day

[@77MrRd]

Great response , if you like being on the edge of you seat I can't encourage you enough the watch the fastest TT lap ever with Peter Hickman , full 37¾ mile lap with onboard camera ,,,, prepare to be mind blown

[@byrondaniel4410]

Ive been 190 going straight this guys are insane

[@lesstuart1788]

The guy you see going off the veranda as Tey call it was back racing the following year

[@michaellooney1089]

Connor Cummins.
