Macau GP onboard

well the official compilation video is not complete yet so I figured I would give everyone 1 lap of my slow ass around the Macau GP. I think this is from the last qualifying session...

"Where's My T-Shirt"...

 

COOL! Been waiting on this.:up:

I'm going to watch it again if/when I get my shirt and it will be more awesome.

 

you sir... are crazy. :up:

 

That is too cool. Not sure how you knew where to go, but glad you figured it out.

 

long live the dare devils!

You won't ever have to worry about having a mid-life crisis Brandon. :up:

 

F@ck!!!!!! You are the man. and F@ck i forgot to order a shirt, if you have any left in 2xl let me know, i'll donate for your next race

 

damnit!

they are on order this week. hopefully I will have them out in the mail and everyone will have theirs before Christmas

 

+1

 

it was nice of them to let you have the track all by yourself. haha.

how is anything in life interesting after that?

after watching it so may times.....its cool to see the city from that angle. i like seeing the shops and buildings in your video.

starts at fishermans? on of my favorite corners to see.

 

nice!

 

How the hell do you remember which way to go for the next corner? D you get to drive/ride the course in the week leading up to the races to familiarize yourself, or is it a sit down in front of other youtube videos and try to remember it kind of thing?

I mean WOW, I would be f@cking passed by you if you were on a Vespa and I was on your bike. I would need a radio in my ear like a WRC driver telling me which turn is coming.

 

I will admit. Macau was extremely difficult to learn. I want to say it was just as hard as the TT but that's not quite true, it is just so different.

I just studied the course using onboard videos in the months coming up to the event, that's really all you can do as you only get 1 practice and 3 qualifying sessions in essence...

I am extremely lucky to be friends with Gary Johnson who gave me a complete tutorial on the course as we rode around it in a bus one time during the week. Without that I wouldve been completely lost.

 

Ive always wondered are the front runners just stupid fast because they are that skilled, or just that fucking crazy and willing to hang it all out? Im not saying they arent skilled riders, but i think any normal person rides with a lot reserved as opposed to racing on a traditional closed course. How do you think they would fair out on a closed course?

 

Sir, You can not order something you were SUPPOSE to get while You WERE THERE...

 

some of the front runners are top BSB racers so I would say....they'd fair very well



I think it is a common misconception that real roads racers are just crazy and aren't as skilled as closed course riders...majority of them have some pretty impressive closed course resumes including John McGuinness

 

Awesome footage, I'll use it as study material :up: Hopefully I don't drive you and tophyr crazy with questions before the next TT haha. Keep up the solid riding man and let me know if you need an extra hand in the pits!

 

Holy Shit...................damm U have some BIG BALLS

 

Wow.
