These also show the extremes of the TT - bikes bottoming out their suspension to scrape their fairings on the road, and riders brushing the walls with their helmets and leathers etc.
There are incredible photographs that were not shown (to capture moments too fast to see in film). Although, don't get me wrong, there is plenty of action. Also, there are regular on-board overtakes with the front wheel in the air at 140+mph (due to rises on the road) shows the extremes of the riding. Ryan Farquhar was on the limit that year, as well as Michael Dunlop - watching them fighting to stay in control of their bikes was simply breathtaking. The following are niggles, to what is a 'must-see' film There is some amazing footage which never made it into the film - from 2010 and past races. Thank goodness this film didn't that way! Saying that, I think the film could have been an epic but fell just short. It showed the soul of the TT, rather than usual attempts of a bike film with bad-ass bikers and heavy metal music. I liked the filming of fans, families, team owners as well as the riders themselves. and that makes it even better to watch! There are some great spinal tap moments as well.
Guy Martin makes the whole thing watchable for all viewers because he is such a character, and he's very comical - which I don't think is intentional.
I loved the film and think it captures the essence of the TT.
