    The bmx track in Dublin is in Marley Park.There are a few more up north as far as I know.The way to get more is to set up a club and seek funding.

    It is in Rathfarnem,had a look for some pictures,none around.Just go for a spin there and see for yourself.It has not been maintained as it should be but not alot of people use it,but if riders start to use it again this can change.

    Slothy,

    Sorry to say there is no real racing scene here in Ireland. Marley park is a poorly maintained track from the 80's with weathered mellow berms and small doubles/triples that have no lip or pop. Mostly people ride street in Dublin and the skateparks whenever the weather allows. If your intereested in some street let me know.

    Pete.

    Seriously if that was down here in Cork I would get a few lads out to resurface it and build it up.If it is allowed of course just ask the rangers in the park if it is a possibillity.;)
    All the tracks are gone down here since about 1988 and now our trails have gotten ploughed again for the second time it four years!!:mad:
