What a great weekend for watching motorcycle racing on TV. Four hours of AMA Pro in NASCAR Vision, and then an hour of stunning coverage of the 2009 Isle of Man on HD Theatre. To compare and contrast the two is a joke. Speed sucked. One, it was on so late last night, and then on too early today. There were commercials, the same freaking ones over and over, every 4 to 5 minutes! No on bike camera and Scott Russell sucks as an announcer. Oh my god he was terrible.
My two favorite racers rocked, Larry Pegram swept (Let's hear it for old school, crossed up riding!) in Superbike and Danny Eslick takes a first and third in Sportbike to tie for the points lead with Cardenes.
Now HD Theater's coverage of the Isle of Man Superbike was beautiful. They with the government of the Isle of Man produced perhaps the most stunning motorcycle footage I've ever seen. One, no commercials! Two, they used the best quality Hi Def cameras, ala Super Bowl quality. Three, tons of on-bike cameras. Four, super slow motion cameras.
The race will be covered over several more episodes to cover other classes.
All I can say is WOW! and Speed you have a lot to learn.
Check it out if you can. Stunning.
