good man Mark, i will see you there..these will indeed be a few fun sessions..no pressure and just a way of introducing prospective downhillers to what its all about..
Hardcore XC riders like Don would benefit as would any Freeridey types like ...like..Mr Blobby..I don't know..anybody who wants to learn to go fast and jump and scream and say " i'm totally stoked , man !!!"
Anyone still on the fence over tomorrow the weathers supposed to the deadly (Epic Deadly) so get up to Cloon for some light DH action. Its goona be great for anyone wanting to try it out... this is a great chance to try out DH without the pressure's from loud president-tette-types shouting various forms of semi supportive comments at you!
I wont make it out for this unfortunately so Mark will have to show you my crashing tricks...Damn shame as I have a new "tripped myself up and split my face technique" to show off.......
Myself and Al have a particular favorite, there's a big load of bushes at the bottom of the track in the car-park. i'll show you how to gracefuly come to a complete stop and dismount ... and faster than your brakes can stop you!
sorry Gav, your much better at that style of riding than i am, i couldn't do it justice..
Wow..i'm totally stoked man..that was a great success..big thanks to Adam,Karl and Mark for their asistance..great craic..with Mick and Tom from MAD and all the other new guys..
Fair play to John and Rob on their XC bikes and Jamie on that gate his Dad forces him to use..
there were a couple of moments near the end with people having near misses on the start ramp but overall I think everybody learned something..
well done and thanks to everybody..
nobody got hurt and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, especially me..

Thanks for that Richie. Had a great aul spin. Ended up stoked to the max, so stoked in fact that i got caught by the po-lice doin 72mph in a 50 heading into Kilternan :-( Now that i think of it, i got another 2 penalty points headin to the Blast a few weeks ago. The fuzz dont seem to want me associating with ye epic boyos!!!
At least they didn't threaten to take the car off you this time MÃcheál!
You better de-stoke yourself next time before getting into the car, though
don't get caught doing it - you'd get a lot more than 2 penalty points for de-stoking in public!
Fair play to ye for getting out - the EPIC DH'ers are a sound bunch of people, glad ye had a good time, our session was much less glamourous but still very worthwhile.
