    There is a campaign online to find a new location to develop. Did you visit it Scrappy? Would love a pump track in Sligo, would help with my MTB skills and something to do if I only had an hour to kill on the bike. Dirt jumping is a different beast, but would love to give it a go even if to just learn to jump.

    No I've never been to aptos, wouldn't have much of a dj interest but post office spawned some of the superstars of dj and you have to respect it for what it was even if it doesn't interest you. My mtb interest lies purely in downhill and enduro. Have tried the pump track in bike park Ireland and its a hell of a lot harder than it looks! If you want to practice jumps, get to bike park Ireland on the red run!

    I'll keep that in mind, will have to wait to get something other than my lowly xc hardtail to tackle them first though, not sure it'd be up to it!

    So long as you can get your saddle down reasonably low, it will be fine. Dirt jumping is to MTB as a game of catch in the garden is to 6 Nations rugby.

    Yeah, his one for Dan's LBL was great - kept highlighting Dan "just chilling" in the peleton.

    Crazy highlights of the Dwars door Vlaanderen 2015 in Belgium on Wednesday.

    Even the MotorBikes had a hard time.

    This but of advice raises a giggle among her teammates..

    One of our lads found this, some footage of Paddy Flanagan making the decisive attack in the 1975 Ras Tailteann, and also some footage from a Health Race/RAS in the late 70's, Stephen Roche is wearing the yellow jersey but not sure if it's the one he won, plenty of discussion of the internal politics of Irish cycling at the time and concern about the lack of good juniors coming through.

    Came across this promo video for a sportive I was thinking of doing (until I saw the cost :eek: )

    Quite well done, in my opinion.

    Don't think that's the quickest line through that corner ;)

    I'd agree. It was the quickest line to the afterlife, as far as I can tell.

    Poor chap underestimated the whole braking before the junction thing. If there had of been a car or truck using that end junction/road....

    He won't be doing that again anytime soon!

    Apologies to the Mod team if I messed up last night, for shame :(

    This would probably work in Dundrum Shopping Centre.



    Lunatic.

    Thought that road looked familiar to me, the SLOW followed by VERY SLOW markings confirmed it. My next thought was, this ain't going to end well approaching the junction at that speed. Lucky escape.:eek:
