    Yeah probably, the suspension probably isn't too much of an issue just ensure the bike has some form of knobby tires as the grip will be different to the pumptrack.
    If they can go down ticknock fireroad themselves controlling there own speed theres probably not too big of a difference.

    I think union wood used to hold a round of the NPS xc series back in the day. I suspect someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to advise.

    None that I'm aware of, best to ask some bike shops in Sligo town I'd reckon, see what they can do.
