1:55 Old video by the sound of it. This year there will have been 270 deaths. Or more as this year's edition has not happened yet but since 1911 there has been only one year (1982) during which nobody died. 2005 was the worst with 11 deaths.
9:35 That year Connor came 2nd to Michael Dunlop. Spare a thought for the Dunlop women: Michael's dad died in a race accident which Michael won and he dedicated his win to his dad. His brother also perished racing a few years later and his uncle Joey died in a road race a good few years earlier so Michael is the only one of 4 road racing Dunlops still alive.
You mentioned about The spectators being so close to the Action. Check out Group B Rallying from the 80s, it takes crowd participation to a whole new level. It's Banned now because of it's safety Record.
The guy that won that race is Michael Dunlop a Northern Irish Racer who has seen his Brother, Father and Uncle all die in Motorcycle Races. In 2023 he notched his 25th win at the TT and set a new lap record. For a lot of these riders it is passion sport as the prize money is very small, last year the winner of the Sr TT (the main one) got around 31,258 US Dollars or £25,000.
Connor Cummins (the guy talking) is a Manxman himself, so he’s grown up knowing the TT all his life.. so yeah, it holds a special place in his heart.. I love the TT, and always buy the TT pass to stream it live every year! Not long to wait now! 😁🤙🏽
I live here….you will never understand this race….unless you witness it for yourself, it’s beyond comprehension, standing 3 feet from a superbike doing 200 mph on Sulby straight….you cannot get your head around it, I love it, have only missed 2 TTs in 55 years👍😉🇮🇲
Its such a buzz for spectators too, ive been several times, to feel the wind as they pass you at up to 200mph is incredible, especially as its so close to the riders. Its a great vibe and the night life is not bad either.
You should check out Peter Hickmans chin camera lap .It’s only a demo lap ,2 or 3 minutes off his race pace . You get to see what the riders have to deal with . Or Road warriors Irish road racing . 🏍️😎
Why do people always say "Why would you want to do it?" Whether it be motor sport,rock climbing,or any hobby or leisure pursuit that can lead to serious injuries,life changing and ultimately life ending. I was into the slightly more extreme side of mountain biking,and suffered multiple fractures following a crash. All my left side ribs,back in two places and left clavicle. I knew full well that what I was doing was dangerous, but the feeling of the speed, technical ability and conquering your fears. It's really hard to explain. But as soon as Iwas fit enough I was back on a new bike and slowly regained my confidence and carried on from where I left off,back to the spot I crashed on and made the jump and landed safely. Boy what a feeling. I in the other hand look at people sitting on a Riverbank with a rod for hours trying to outwit a fish ? We all have our reasons.
The Isle of Man is semi-independent. The only connection with the United Kingdom is that King Charles III is also Lord of Mann. The UK looks after its defence and foreign policy, but otherwise the Isle of Man is self-governing, with its own very ancient Parliament, Tynwald. This is why it can have its own road safety laws. Its ancient language, Manx Gaelic, became extinct as a mother tongue in 1974, but the language is being revived. The Isle of Man flag, the 'Three Legs of Man', is on the video. The native breed of cat have no tails...
08:40 bad editing, they showed one of the Sidecars there that confused you. Check out TT Sidecars, they race on short circuits and the long road courses. 600cc Motorbike engine in a chassis with a passenger on the left moving around to keep it all on the road.
My comment to any TT reaction is, as always, wait until you've seen the sidecar racing. Double the nutters🏍️🏍️💨💨💨💨💨🙀👍 and yes that was a combination (sidecar). Well spotted😸🍻
When Connor refers to not being forced, it's because the IoM TT is no longer a round of the premier motorcycle racing championship; but remains a stand alone and part of a specialist road racing championship
There are now 250 deaths since last year including spectators. This is not pretend stuff like Pikes Peak or Nascar or any other sport. Skill, Bravery, Courage is absolutely necessary to do this event. This really is death or glory stuff, and they only get paid a pittance. These riders do it for the glory of winning not making money. It makes all other sport seem artificially tame. I've lost mates at the TT, but they and their families would not change it because it is what they all loved to do. I laugh when I see the broadcasters talking about guts or bravery in other sports. It is great to see our cousins across the pond taking an interest.🏍👍
Most of the riders that go and compete in the TT know they are never going to win, but they go because they love it, the adrenaline rush. Most just go with the intention to just complete the race without mishap, which is feat in it's self.
And the Prize money is next to Nil for the risk. The first prize for this year's Superbike TT is £20,000 pounds. * Senior race wise, the prize-winning pot for first is £25,000 pounds. They do it for the Glory, bragging rights, and love of the sport. I've topped out at 145 mph and that is fast enough for me on a straight 4 lane open Freeway, no other cars at 6 AM on a Saturday morning, and just for a mile. My favorite TT race Video and it comes with music by Within temptation...... "Isle of Man TT - The greatest motor sport on the planet "
the haircut guy, i think it's Keith Flint.... the former lead singer of the group "Prodigy". He was a rider, did some competition and was a test racer for Ducati at some point in his life if i'm right. R.I.P. Keith
The guy that won was Michael Dunlop who still races today even though the sport has taken his uncle, his father and his brother. i guess that if it is in your blood..................................
I met a young American at my last TT, in awe he was, but just a note to all visitors, when the roads are closed, the marshals are in control, what they say must be abided by. This guy had total disrespect for them, he could have caused a very bad accident, for himself and a rider. All I will say I was on sully straight, those who know will know. Hand he thought it was ok to put his arm out of the railings at the pub, no respect for the Marshalls at all.
Definitely check the recommendations below.. The Peter Hickman fastest lap chin cam, the Irish road race and Definitely the Sidecar racing, its nuts. Ease up on the chinwag, but keep going you're doing well mate. I'll subscribe and hope to see you react to the above. And btw, the real Isle of Man race starts soon! Look it up, it's worth watching 😊
I rode that circuit last summer.... it's fantastic. However, the dips and cambers in the road are scary... they know this course with their eyes shut. But it's increased my respect for the riders 10 fold. I have clips on my own channel. The island has more circuits. Castletown is another one.
My dad and I would do a sailboat race over to the island the start of whitsun week - and then we'd moor up in one of the island harbours and live on the boat for a week while watching practice week of the TT. I've been back there many times since and have ridden my own bike around the course - but NOT anywhere close to race speed. I'm a biker not a racer :) I defy any motorcyclist on the planet to set foot on that island or to ride even a section of that course at ordinary highway speeds and not just KNOW in their gut that they are on Holy Ground.
That was a good entertaining reaction, I enjoyed it. Connor came in second place as the commentator said, I think you missed it but that's a thumbs up from me!
There are also solid stone walls all around the island, and as you can see it was one of those that he went over like a rag doll. Had he hit it then it would have been all over.
Although the TT is the oldest m/c race in the world, the cemetery is far older. The TT is held over 2 weeks, and it's in 2 weeks time. 1st week is practice week, 2nd week is racing, 7 races in all, 3 of them are for 1000cc machines 2 for 600cc machines, and 2 for 600cc sidecars, 2 man 3 wheeled machines, which is what you were trying to identify. The editor of this film doesn't know much, using an aerial shot of a sidecar, then 2 separate shots of New Zealander Bruce Anstey to represent Connors bike. It was first held in 1905, then again in 1907, and every year since. present course first used in 1911. There's POV footage on TH-cam of Peter Hickman's 2023 absolute lap record 136.352mph, I believe he was speed-trapped on Sulby Straight at 210mph.
Out of all the American's past and present who race bikes, Dave Roper is currently the only American to win a TT Race using conventional internal combustion engine power; the Historic TT of 1984. Riding a G50 Matchless he headed home the field in the only time this class of race has been run. Dave has also finished runner-up twice in the Senior Classic Manx Grand Prix, in 1988 and 1990.
I've been to a race once ... < as a spectoator, of course! You hear the bikes for sure, but you don't see them ... they are flying by in the speed of light! But: Never again! Me was so scared ...!!!
Dont forget the death toll is worse than you think, because it isn't held multiple times a year, it's a very short length of time it consists of one week of practice and qualifying sessions followed by one week of racing. Just 2 weeks, the deadliest year was 2005, when 11 people died, but it is a great race and I hope it continues to be held, more people died in mountain climbing, boxing and base jumping in the last 100 years, if the riders knows and accept it as do the people of the Isle of mann, and as long as it isn't the organiser that make it dangerous, than it should be left to carry on
The Manx Tourist Trophy is THE Pinnacle of Manliness but also check out The World Rally Championship from the 1970's and Especially the early to mid 1980's, 1986 to be precise and on to the present day, though 1985/86 was The best time to be a Lover of Rallying if not for the heartbreaking demise of Henri, a beautiful soul and possibly The Most Naturally Talented Rally Driver to ever live, that is debatable but the World was a far better place with him than it has been since.
@@AmericanF1Fan I know what your saying lol , nothings going to help you if you hit a tree at 200 mph , please watch , Irish road warriors, it's a video about the nw200 and other road races in ireland it's like the TT but it's a proper road race , everyone leaves at the same time and the first one over the line wins , the northwest 200 race is on this weekend and I live on the road they race along , ( i live in northern Ireland)
Can i suggest watching the full documentary when you have time, you'll learn hell of a lot more about the race. th-cam.com/video/-lJuP1E6zJQ/w-d-xo.html
Before I watch your reaction, I want to suggest you also watch one of the videos of the sidecar races that run on the Isle of Man TT course - and the tell me us Brits are not eccentric (i.e. crazy).
@@AmericanF1Fan Catch the daily highlights of this year's TT fortnight… it's due to start on 27th of May and I'm sure it's somewhere on line. Here, we get it on one of the terrestrial TV channels (ITV4). I believe there's live streaming of races and practice week available too (on 'TT+').
If a racer cannot man up to race in this event, they could always step down to an easier safer form of racing, like F1 or even Nascar. But the world knows who the Alpha male racers are.
I totally get that, but I don't understand the shot taken at F1 drivers? Most of them grew up in a totally different racing category and stayed that route.
@@AmericanF1Fan It used to be different. Top professional racing drivers (and riders) competed in various formulas, often at the same meeting, and in different disciplines like sports cars, endurance (Le Mans), Indy, the long distance road races like the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio, and some even drove in the Monte Carlo rally. … Bike GP racers would ride several capacity classes, as well production bike and endurance races as well as the TT in different classes. Today's top TT riders race in several classes through TT race week.
If you think that is mad, you need to watch the sidecars at the TT, you keep going on about the deaths, that is over one hundred years. To go and watch, you have to respect it is a choice. There are no words to describe it. Hearing the riders coming from miles away through the roads and then coming past you.
Spectators get unalived as well, and the public can race on the roads with no speed limit as well, and many some of them are unalived as well. They are not included in the stats 🏴🙂
The only thing that has been missing in this video to which you react is to show how close their heads pass to stone walls, street lamps, and other urban furniture 👍
If I was a rider I'd be more scared of the spectators than anything else. Some dipshit could cross the road, or let their dog get loose or stick a selfie stick out and hit you in the face at 200 MPH.
Can I suggest that you watch the fastest ever lap of the Isle Of Man. I'm going this year too, we'll be arriving on the 27th May, so hopefully get some amazing footage. A link to this amazing crazy fast lap is below 👇✊✊✊ th-cam.com/video/31RZ5wU-Fg0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dp5wUSD7RcoL57ly
Most deaths are to the public tbh for this video 1 rider and 3 public so you can imagine the rider falling (dead) and that bike keeps flying god knows where :) they do what they do at best of clearing and fixing holes so any minor rock shoot from tires may kill someone or any peace that bike goes trough. Its similar to rally B group where spectators are hand close to rally car on corners where its gravel and rocks etc... but as spectator you must go there with that in your mind too ! otherwise go like 500m away with helmet at the most unfun part of the track and have your fun ! Next week is TT in june so if you have a chance to watch it go for it ! Also barriers at that speed will kill you not protect you so thats why they are not placed. Same as rally B where you have no limit on power of the car so if there is barrier its part of public road not as like on track. each race goes trough all parts of the race explaining bumps , holes etc. so riders know and have time to practice how fast how hard they would go / push etc. Also i think (not 100% sure) this cemetery is for all riders (spectators) died there so its like commentating to them in respective way honoring theyr deaths so i think its a nice touch there atleast for me.
A common misconception is that the public deaths are always spectators getting hit by a flying bike or something, yet in all its years there's only been 2 spectator deaths both of which were because of the same crash. Injuries are more common but still quite rare, however you're definitely not wrong in saying it's a risk to go watch because a bit of bad luck is all you need there
Please stop reading fantasy novels, they're putting all sorts of images in your head of things that have never happened. Spectator deaths at the TT are rarer than politicians telling the truth. At the moment it stands at 3 for the TT and 1 for the Manx Grand Prix, which is a different race held on the same course, Similarly rider deaths are 156 for the TT, with the rest being at the Manx or other races held over the same course.
Thank you everyone already for the love and support on this video. Please check out the rest of my channel and please help me out by subscribing!!!

Proper race for proper men.
OMG those guys are proper and ballsy alright
and some women!
Jenny tinmouth still holds the lap record. They cannot just turn up and race they have to get their signatures to race there.

Although his crash was horrendous he's so lucky. Fortunately he ragdolled over the drystone wall instead the ploughing through it (or not).

What do you expect from a nation which suits up in armour to play football 🤣
The Isle of Man is semi-independent. The only connection with the United Kingdom is that King Charles III is also Lord of Mann. The UK looks after its defence and foreign policy, but otherwise the Isle of Man is self-governing, with its own very ancient Parliament, Tynwald. This is why it can have its own road safety laws.
Its ancient language, Manx Gaelic, became extinct as a mother tongue in 1974, but the language is being revived.

This is a fantastic race it’s legendary and those guys love it just like the spectators.that’s it period.
They don't even get prize money for these races. Its winner takes all. The winner of each race gets a trophy. No prizes money, just pride 💯✌️

I don't think that Americans will really be able to get the Isle of man, I don't know if they'll get how narrow those roads are at those speeds!
Over 200 miles per hour at times. Amazing mental ability to know every twist and turn better than they know the back of their hands.
Dont forget the death toll is worse than you think, because it isn't held multiple times a year, it's a very short length of time it consists of one week of practice and qualifying sessions followed by one week of racing.

The bike that you were puzzled by was a sidecar outfit. They have a race for them.
Ahh ok. It was just weird cause it didn't fit in what the documentary was about.
Don't mess with the Orange Hair, fella. 👀
At least you didn't call it the Isle of Men 😅
The craziest thing for me is there's very little prize money for this. It's about honour/prestige etc.
Connar is a great guy hope you meet him one day legand same as Jamie Hamilton great guy career cut short from a monster crash at the tt look Jamie up.
If you think this is crazy try watching the isle of man motorbike and sidecar races, thanks for your reaction and take care.

The chin cam lap is a great watch, if you have something to hold on to while watching 😂
Theres a few hay bales for safety, the fuck else do you want, 😂
No I know, I'm just saying from the racing that I've typically watched, I'm not used to seeing so little protection around a track
@@AmericanF1Fan I know what your saying lol , nothings going to help you if you hit a tree at 200 mph , please watch , Irish road warriors, it's a video about the nw200 and other road races in ireland it's like the TT but it's a proper road race , everyone leaves at the same time and the first one over the line wins , the northwest 200 race is on this weekend and I live on the road they race along , ( i live in northern Ireland)
Watch the side car outfits....
Can i suggest watching the full documentary when you have time, you'll learn hell of a lot more about the race. th-cam.com/video/-lJuP1E6zJQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for that. I will definitely check this out
Before I watch your reaction, I want to suggest you also watch one of the videos of the sidecar races that run on the Isle of Man TT course - and the tell me us Brits are not eccentric (i.e. crazy).
Thank you I will definitely be doing more Isle of Man content real soon.
@@AmericanF1Fan Catch the daily highlights of this year's TT fortnight… it's due to start on 27th of May and I'm sure it's somewhere on line. Here, we get it on one of the terrestrial TV channels (ITV4). I believe there's live streaming of races and practice week available too (on 'TT+').
Check out the Manx GP , NW200 and maybe the Macau GP for some good roadracing x
Not all are racers, some are spectators others are bikers using the circuit when racing is not happening.
If a racer cannot man up to race in this event, they could always step down to an easier safer form of racing, like F1 or even Nascar. But the world knows who the Alpha male racers are.
I totally get that, but I don't understand the shot taken at F1 drivers? Most of them grew up in a totally different racing category and stayed that route.
@@AmericanF1Fan It used to be different. Top professional racing drivers (and riders) competed in various formulas, often at the same meeting, and in different disciplines like sports cars, endurance (Le Mans), Indy, the long distance road races like the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio, and some even drove in the Monte Carlo rally. … Bike GP racers would ride several capacity classes, as well production bike and endurance races as well as the TT in different classes. Today's top TT riders race in several classes through TT race week.
If you think that is mad, you need to watch the sidecars at the TT, you keep going on about the deaths, that is over one hundred years. To go and watch, you have to respect it is a choice. There are no words to describe it. Hearing the riders coming from miles away through the roads and then coming past you.
That's keith flint, from the prodigy, with the orange hair, fire starter.
no its not.
Spectators get unalived as well, and the public can race on the roads with no speed limit as well, and many some of them are unalived as well. They are not included in the stats 🏴🙂
Wow thank you for enlightening me some more on the Isle of Man.
Unalived???? You can say killed on yt.
Sometimes it will flag it depending on the topic
@@sjbict I wasn't sure, everything is so woke now
@sjbict it's a ridiculous term, and I haven't used it before, but I have already had a 24 ban, so I didn't want to push my luck
One of these videos shows a Kawasaki doing 218 mph.
I think whats more scary is now that you have some of the course in your mind check out the lap times and average speeds
it is not a mini road it is a public road that is closed off for the race
Check out Peter hickman chin camera lap
I was about to say the same thing until I scrolled down and read your comment🤘I remember watching it on TV what a lap
Luckily it was a stone wall not wood lol so he bounced over
The only thing that has been missing in this video to which you react is to show how close their heads pass to stone walls, street lamps, and other urban furniture 👍
I've seen 2 of these documentaries on The Isle of Man TT both times the rider they focused on came 2nd .
Mate, check out "irish motorcycle road racing". Those blokes do this every weekend.
05:52 yeah wooden fencing and what looks to be a cobblestone wall :D
If I was a rider I'd be more scared of the spectators than anything else. Some dipshit could cross the road, or let their dog get loose or stick a selfie stick out and hit you in the face at 200 MPH.
Anyone caught crossing the road will usually end up in jail
Its a road, would else would you expect. I would say its all part of the thrill of it.
You need to check out GROUP B rally
I'm definitely going to be checking it out. I've heard some good things.
It's not time trial it's tourist trophy.
Can I suggest that you watch the fastest ever lap of the Isle Of Man. I'm going this year too, we'll be arriving on the 27th May, so hopefully get some amazing footage. A link to this amazing crazy fast lap is below 👇✊✊✊
th-cam.com/video/31RZ5wU-Fg0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dp5wUSD7RcoL57ly
You have to have EVERY INCH AND TURN memorized cold or don't even get on the bike.
The prize money for the winner 2023 was £25,000
I feel like it should or would be more for what they are doing.
You miss half the video by not pausing when you wish to comment, thus missing all the salient points told to you by the video.
Check out the isle of man tt TOP speed moments to do it justice 🔥👍
The nearest I’ll get to this is 3D DEATH CHASE on the zx spectrum. ( kids it’s a computer from the 1980’S)
"why would you want to?" Because you're never more alive than when staring death in the face.
Kinda sad that peeps always focus on the negatives
You have to do some onboard Peter Hickmans fastest lap, theres also one of Micheal Rutter on a stock Ducatti which shows the speedometer 👍
Ave speed for the race 135mph , but in areas they get up to 200+mph
Most deaths are to the public tbh for this video 1 rider and 3 public so you can imagine the rider falling (dead) and that bike keeps flying god knows where :) they do what they do at best of clearing and fixing holes so any minor rock shoot from tires may kill someone or any peace that bike goes trough. Its similar to rally B group where spectators are hand close to rally car on corners where its gravel and rocks etc... but as spectator you must go there with that in your mind too ! otherwise go like 500m away with helmet at the most unfun part of the track and have your fun ! Next week is TT in june so if you have a chance to watch it go for it ! Also barriers at that speed will kill you not protect you so thats why they are not placed. Same as rally B where you have no limit on power of the car so if there is barrier its part of public road not as like on track. each race goes trough all parts of the race explaining bumps , holes etc. so riders know and have time to practice how fast how hard they would go / push etc. Also i think (not 100% sure) this cemetery is for all riders (spectators) died there so its like commentating to them in respective way honoring theyr deaths so i think its a nice touch there atleast for me.
A common misconception is that the public deaths are always spectators getting hit by a flying bike or something, yet in all its years there's only been 2 spectator deaths both of which were because of the same crash. Injuries are more common but still quite rare, however you're definitely not wrong in saying it's a risk to go watch because a bit of bad luck is all you need there
Please stop reading fantasy novels, they're putting all sorts of images in your head of things that have never happened. Spectator deaths at the TT are rarer than politicians telling the truth. At the moment it stands at 3 for the TT and 1 for the Manx Grand Prix, which is a different race held on the same course, Similarly rider deaths are 156 for the TT, with the rest being at the Manx or other races held over the same course.
