    Downhill racing as in mountain bikes- jumps, rocks, berms etc.....From what i hear its going to be the first official dh track in the country.Theres going to be uplifts every weekend when its built.Uplifts are a lift in a tractor trailer or van back to the start of the track to save all the pushing.
    I dont know where luglass is.Had a look on google but couldnt find much.
    Hope that helps..

    Dont think theres going to be a 4x track.Its going to be a class track when its made.The guy whos making it designs a lot of the world cup dh tracks and 4x tracks.

    i keep hearing that there will be a 4x track, with the downhill track weaving in and out of it, getting bmx supercross going in ireland would be brilliant.
    has anyone heard anything else about this?
    id be very interested in getting good at this.

    Good to hear Theo,I hope it is true.Basically Ireland is the only country in the world who more than likely will not have a bmx team ready for the olympics.If this track goes ahead then there may be some hope of us having a team ready,even is it is made up of downhillers and not true bmx riders.
