Race heroes behind bars

Behind Bars – The Movie is a must-see, 30-minute fly-on-the-wall film that will be shown free at Motorcycle Live 2013.

The film forms part of a brand-new feature giving visitors an exclusive insight into the lives of some of Britain’s top racing stars. It will be shown in a specially-constructed bike theatre with cinema-style seats, visuals and acoustics. ??The life of a professional motorcycle racer is a tough and unforgiving existence – a life where even the smallest mistake can result in paying the ultimate price. Behind Bars – The movie provides a no-holds-barred look at what it takes to live that life, and what makes our racing stars heroes. 
 
The film features 20-time Isle of Man TT winner John McGuinness, 2013 World Superbike Champion Tom Sykes, 2013 World Supersport Champion Sam Lowes, 2013 British Superbike Champion Alex Lowes, 2013 Speedway World Champion Tai Woffinden, Moto2 star Scott Redding, World Motocross rider Tommy Searle and three-time British Superbike Champion Shane ‘Shakey’ Bryne. 
 
Behind Bars – The Movie visits the stars at their homes, meets their loved ones, travels with them to races and finds out what it feels like to brush kerbs at 200mph, rub plastics with their fellow pros, hit rutted 70ft double jumps flat out and – ultimately – stand on the top step of the podium showering champagne on their adoring fans. 
 
The film will be show on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays: 11.00am, 12.15pm 1.45pm, 3.15pm, 4.45pm; Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday: 11.30am 1.30pm 2.45pm, 4.00pm
 
Back by popular demand is the free Nick Sanders Steampunk Cinema which will be housed in a newly-built film cube with two super-large 70 inch TV screens showing two three-minute films every half-hour. Sound effects will be awesome and the whole thing will give off the appearance of being driven by steam.
