TT3D Close to edge

Just got home from watching this. Guy Martin is mad. Off his head. Saw Conor Cummins crash for the first time, it was all going well as he descended the mountain minus bike at 160mph until he hit that dry stone wall and did a triple salko.Heartbreaking to see Paul Dobbs widow putting on a brave face. The other 2010 fatality Martin Loicht received a brief voiceover mention. As it happens I spoke with the incident car driver who attended his Quarry Bends crash. He was lucid at the scene and puzzled as to the cause of the accident. Sadly he died later of internal bleeding. Turns out that his chain came off and jammed the back wheel on this series of flat out knee down bends.
Overall an ok flick with stunning bike coverage but I could have done without Martin doing slow speed posing stuff on the bike like shots from the Honda Impossible Dream ad.
