Andrew: That really is awesome footage, thanks for posting! I know it dates me, but I was fortunate in thrashing my own road bike round the course early one morning in 1969 during practice week. Even at lower speeds, it's a seriously scary course. My rear brake got so hot down the Mountain that the grease in my rear axle bearings started melting and running out!
@BeemerGirl That crash features on TT3D and they talk with the rider. I have seen the movie at the cinema already and it is well worth the watch! I love watching the racing but hate seeing the crashes...

I saw this video a couple days ago. I cringe whenever I see that guy flying over the embankment! Let me know what you think of TT3D.
