DH Nationals

Right as everyone knows this weekend is nationals weekend. The Dh nationals are in Carrick near Glenealy in Wicklow so no excuses it's only down the road. The track itself will be fast and fun so everyone should come down and have a go or if you're not racing just drop down and cheers on all the epic heads that are, it's amazing what a good shout can do as your flying down the track. As usually practice Saturday/Sunday morning and racing Sunday afternoon. Hope to see a good bunch of you down this weekend.

Entries have to be in by today.
Here’s the review.

Good luck to all the XC lads as well this weekend.
there will be a big heap of us there cheering everybody on, on the Sunday..the pressure will be on !!
whats the deal with the entry form..I just copied the text and filled in the lines and emailed it on..
Well you really should have gotten confused, e-mailed it seven times, got your mother to ring me to tell me it wont save for some, gone on the Irish DH Forum and posted every ten minutes to let everyone know that you weren’t on the list.

Seriously though the track will be great, the crack will be mighty, the whole thing is rideable by every one, all the hard bits have very fast chicken runs, no one will be out of their dept, you could ride all but one or two of the jumps on an all mountain bike, you just need a full face helmet. And it will be great for spectators, you will get to see how fast people really are.
Rumor has it that a bus load of lads are heading over from Vancouver to cheer Sea N T on
This will be some craic..I haven't even ridden me bike yet and I have to change the brakes over !!
I heard it been described as a European style track. Maybe leave the brakes alone or you could end up riding down the track on the wrong side
Don't know why but for some reason im going to have a go at the sports cat, no point selling a bike if i have never raced it.

Would I be better off on a six inch bike that i know and get on with or a dh bike that I dont know understand or trust.

You would think the six inch is the obvious answer but I do seem to get away with much more on the bigger bike. Is it just perception do i just seem slower on the big bike?

I will not be jumping anything bigger than a 50p piece. This should be some craic but I've seen the track and I'm bricking it!
well...its like this..i haven't seen the track or ridden my new bike yet and I don't care..i'm only out for the craic..just ride the big bike and let it rip..you can ride a 6" bike anywhere, you only really get the use of DH bike properly at races anyways !! just point and shoot...do it..do it do it !!!!
That's typical of Sham - the only time he rides his bike is when somebody carries it up the hill for him in a tractor!! Very best of luck to everybody!
Was down there today folks and the track is mint and 99% dry...for now!!

Really worth a trip down as its high speed if ya wanna go fast otherwise its completely rideable.
