Isle of Man TT Diary: behind the scenes practice week action
We’re set up at the 2024 Isle of Man TT… it’s been a mixed few days with delays to track action on Monday, a cancellation of the schedule Tuesday and then being able to get back on track last night.
There’s already been plenty of action, I had a bird to the face at the top of Bray Hill (at 155mph) on night 1, breaking in the screen but still completing the lap. My supertwin bike had a technical issue meaning I had to abandon it trackside and make my way back through the back roads and Last night I topped the sulby speed trap at 205mph.
You also may have seen the announcement that the Isle of Man TT is having its own docu-series and feature film made by the same people who created F1 ‘drive to survive’ and in partnership with Brad Pitt and Channing Tatums production teams, which I’ll be part of…
So come behind the scenes as we travel to the island, set up and go through all the first thoughts and track action of this years TT

It’s my wife on her phone! She has lots of other jobs to help me at the track so fits it in around everything else.

@@joshbrookes25 hope she knows she's doing a grand job and we all appreciate it
Nice vlog. Definitely agree that global coverage is improving, bringing new fans into the sport. The TT+ Pass for the coverage has been a game-changer. £20 for full coverage plus 12 months highlights and an eight part documentary, focusing on different aspects of the event , is a bargain 😀 Ride safe.

Thank you
Gotta love how honest the guy is, best of luck Josh
Ride well Mr Brookes and wishing you a fun week of racing.
i was there in 2019.. best trip ever... whoaaaaa
So much respect for brookes. Wish you the best. Cheers from Greece
Great video. He sounds like he is struggling to find the words, but he succeeds, as he eventually expresses himself really well. His comments about wasting mental effort on nerves whil waiting to practice, instead of constructively using mental effort to process his experience on the track was fascinating. I haven't heard that before.
Steady progression working a treat. Seems to me you are right up there without hanging it all out. Go well, go safe, then go home.
Big respect Josh. Have a good safe TT😀
Amazing insight into the mental processes riders go through at each stage of the two weeks. Good luck stay safe.
I shat my pants when I saw you hit the curb in Kirk Michael. Such a lucky one mate! Glad you were safe. Have a great rest of TT man!
sensible thoughts/thinking as always Josh
Watching from Southern California and love the content. Best of luck.
keep up the great content Josh, both TT & BSB please. Watching from Western Australia.
Loved that Mr Brookes !
Quickest on sulby 205mph josh was on wednesday practise
Great video Josh. You really do have the right attitude in gradually stretching yourself on the course. Have a great TT.
Not sure what you do about bird strikes, I guess we all work to minimise risks,but that one, just recognise it? Top man Josh 👍 absolute legend 👏
Thanks for the insight Josh
You are doing great!
Nice vlog. Wishing you the best of luck.
So far so good mate, would be great to see you on the podium, stay safe
Love these clips JB! So good to follow along the whole experience with you. Cheers mate, have a safe TT!

Glad you enjoyed it
His attitude of slightly pushing himself a little bit further than is comfort zone seems sensible. Improve, but stay safe. I worry that some less experienced riders perhaps push themselves too far.
Go well mate. 💪👍🏻🍻
Great vlog keep them coming. Well done both of you
Wish I had stumbled on this channel earlier! GO you bl00dy good thing! Thanks for putting the effort in to do this!

Good luck Josh ,have a safe TT 👍
Enjoy yourself - when you are an old man you will look back v fondly on all your adventures
Good luck Josh I watched you in 2014 from the Creg how time flies, you did well then.😀
Interesting interaction with the local wildlife. As a Aussie, are you aware of the random fact the IOM has a wallabie population in excess of 560? The biggest colony anywhere outside of your homeland. It became established after they escaped from a local zoo in the 60's and have established themselves since. Please avoid the irony that would be an Aussie hitting a marsupial in the Northern hemisphere 😱😂
Top insight JB - Gwan >>
Keep them coming during the TT 👌 They the same fairings you use in BSB or are the wings bigger?
So basically Josh you need to shit yourself to go quicker? Fair play fella that's what sets you guys apart from us mere mortals. Have a fast and safe TT pal.
You must wish there was a it of Phillip island weather there
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Did Josh enjoy the karaoke on Sunday night. Just realised where his camper is. Right next to the talk of town 😅

hi uncle josh
Does juggling help your riding skills? Being a decent road racer I thought I had coordination, that is until I started playing drums.

Did he go down for first gear on the super twin? Do the pros use 1 down 5 up, or 1 up 5 down?
