Geesh guys! Just watched this twice. That's the most dangerous racing I've ever seen. :confused59:

That has to be the pinnacle of racing. An extreme combination of guts, luck, engineering, skill, etc. layered with dealing with the elements and road conditions. High stakes!

This would never be sanctioned in the U.S., and all I can say is, everyone of those racers are MEN to the highest level. With the shear odds of losing your life there, only means these guys are dedicated beyond belief.

Good video Mike, hadn't seen that one yet. :thumbsup:

A friend of mine who's competed at the IOMTT and Northwest 200 ( http://www.iomtt.com/Competitors/Solos/Jimmy-Moore.aspx ) said it takes him 4+ days of practice to get his eyes and brain sync'd up to where it becomes similar to slow motion. The speeds, vibration, course irregularities, and G-outs are extreme and the line of sight very limited through most of the course. The human minds processing ability is pretty amazing in this situation.

Superman is a p@ssy, only kryptonite ican harm him and he squeals like a little girl at the sight of it. Pavement and stone walls are kryptonite to these guys @ 200mph and they taunt it.:cheering: :cheering:

Stone walls, iron fences, bumps, grocery stores, all in a days work. Adrenaline is an amazing drug. :D

I've ridden motorcycles all my life. From dirtbikes to crotch rockets. Hell, I own 3 and they make me feel like a toddler with training wheels on a bike. I started riding a Honda 50cc dirtbike when I like 6 years old. I'm now 40 and they make me want to put my bikes up an never get on them again. :getout:

Slap yourself a couple times, take a cold shower and a big shot of whiskey and forget you ever said that! :D

What's funny is we can't get Jimmy to go on a dirt bike ride with us, say's we're crazy. :lmao:

Holy sphincter pucker! Rubbins racin, but at 190mph with a row of trees on one side and brick wall on the other, that's just insane!

Un freakin believable!!!
Those guys are about the biggest adrenalin freaks I can think of!! But I gotta say the spectators aren't too bright also, that close to bikes that fast and "on the edge"!!

Btw- how long is the race?

I have a movie in my collection called TT3d: closer to the edge. A documentary about the race in 2010 i think and guy martin, you see him in the first video with the big sideburns.
Really awesome to watch if you ever get a chance, plus all in high def 3d.

On average at least 2 people die every year, but you'll never stop them from doing it.
