Speed is My Need strips bare the euphoria of speed on two
wheels. Injury and death constantly lurk around the next
corner when a misjudged twist of the throttle means that
the next time you put your helmet on, could be your last.
The Isle of Man TT is notorious for ending lives and careers.
Race tracks were never built for the increased performance
of today’s race bikes - so why do riders risk life and limb in
their quest to go ever-faster?
Speed is My Need uncovers how sports psychologists and
surgical experts across Europe are helping racers to rebuild
their minds and bodies in order to race on the edge
of oblivion.
With access to heroic racing footage, Speed is My Need is a
pulsating, edge of the seat ride into the strategic minds
and courageous hearts of these two-wheeled gladiators.
Starring:
'Fast' Freddie Spencer
Leon 'Pocket Rocket' Haslam
Colin 'Texas Tornado' Edwards
'Rocket' Ron Haslam
Peter 'Hickey' Hickman
Directed by:
Mark Sloper
