there are no official tracks anywhere in Dublin just wasteland

if lads have an interest in bikes give them a bit of space to use

keep them off the streets

Is there not??

We have 3 within 10 miles of my house, about 6 proper tracks in the carlow area - including bikes tracks and autograss!

I will say they are not the easiest thing to live near - the noise is unreal and would definately draw complaints from locals if it was built close to houses.

Most such facilities in the UK have noise-limit agreements in place with the local towns/residents, as well as agreement on how many/which days and times during which racing may take place. For example, Mallory Park in Leicestershire recently agreed a maximum permissible noise level of 105dB, on 92 "loud days" per year with the village of Kirkby Mallory. 105dB is about the same as a yowling two-year-old.

Yeah, though the problem is I wouldn't expect them to keep it to the streets.

Get them used to flying around Mondello at stupid speeds and before you know they're pushing themselves even harder around the Finglas estates because they believe der bleedin deadly.

Flying around a track (on bikes in particular) is exhausting. They would quite likely not be able to speed on the main roads after spending a day at a track. It's mentally and physically exhausting going flat out on a track for any amount of time. I've done the GP day at Pallas karting and you're just so worn out by the end of it there's no speeding left in you when you leave.

All nice and well if you would provide them with a track of some sorts.
But how do you think they will get there? Pushing their bikes?

On a trailer like everyone else.

With all these videos I think the guards could easily get a warrant to search the uploaders house. I'm sure he'll have his own mug in some of the original videos on his hard drive.

The uploader is "sparrow", at 9:34 in the last video the camera man asks his mates "where's sparrow gone?", "home" is the reply....

Any idea if dealing with these chumps will be part of my driving test?

Without being all Tory about it (I'm all for facilities for kids), do you honestly think those lads would choose a sanitized environment like that over buzzing around more risky, public places like roads, paths and estates?

Tbh I would have felt the same as you but we've had a dedicated bike park here in my area for the last couple of years and its taken these guys off the road. It was an unused field, a total eyesore and with very little money they have created a pretty decent biking area and created a club. The council gave them gates and fencing to keep it secure but the rest has been done themselves. And its taken the bikes off the streets and roads so result all round.
