Default 3D TT Closer to the edge

Went to the movies last night to see "Closer to the edge" a 3D doco of the Guy Martin campaign at this year's IOM TT.
Guy is a real down to earth type competitor who calls a spade a"fookn shovel" or words to that effect.
The 3D effects are awesome with amazing racing footage. He also campaigns on a Honda so we can all feel at home watching this.
Recommend this movie for any of you who enjoy a bit of light relief and entertainment.

The review I saw in the Sunday Star Times last week suggested it maybe didn't have a very happy ending?

I hope to be able to ride the TT course before I'm too old - time will tell.
I will surely look out for the movie .
Thanks for that JK

Have it Kiwi lol ..and it's the nuts ......Martin is the one crazy mother
alright talented but a prisoner to his own fiery temperament at the best
of times.



But Hey Pete if you are putting a list of eligible old farts to ride the course
on the IOM ......... add my name , I'd give my left nut for a spin around it
too.

I really wanted to see this movie at the cinema when it was being shown here in the UK.

Unfortunately the coverage was so crappy I never got the chance

Glad you enjoyed it mate.

BTW I think it was probably filmed during the 2010 season.

It's a little crazy just standing on the side of the road as these guys are flying by. What if they come off? You would be hit by a bike flying over 100 mph.
