Skill is an amazing virtue. Most of us confuse the word with knowing something and knowing something so well, that it becomes an extension of who we are.

Over time i have realized that true expertise can be attained when you concentrate in a world where only two things exist. You and your skill and you work every single day to make that relationship better.

You just can’t be distracted with competition, show boating, PR, advocacy and all of the rest.

This clip just made it all come together.

Superlative aerial filming of a Suziki GSXR 1000 superbike through a countryside road.( the Isle of Mann) The films almost blends into your vision and memory.Considering the speed of the bike, crosswinds on the helicopter and keeping a steady frame and focus, this is simply art.

It’s made that simple and smooth.

As for the Rider; Guy Martin is known as amongst the most fearless and charismatic TT riders in the world, and this is the Isle of Mann, one of the hardest TT circuits out there, but it’s not about that.

It’s about the sheer enjoyment of racing for nothing but the freedom and ability to ride. About the modesty and down to earth demeanour which comes when you know that your only barrier is yourself and to be the best you have to keep being better everyday.

It’s about being in a zone where your skill is just an extension of who you are.

Guy makes modesty, freedom, happiness, peace and ability come alive effortlessly by just riding a bike. It’s almost as if no one but the road exists for him.

I only wish if i had the ability to evolve just one skill into this realm of freedom.

From it being a job to it setting me free.
