Red Bull Hardline Maydena

It was an awesome run, really seemed like a turning point in the race.

How do Irish get so good at MTB, is there anything challenging locally that I know nothing about or are they doing heaps of riding in Wales and Europe?

Just loose chunts. We have big mountains but nothing compared to the US or Euros.

We know how to ride in the wet... And drive :p
 
Seems like everyone was pretty stoked with the event and keen to see what Simon can do with more than 4 months' notice to get it done.

Good to see Dan Booker is ok. There wasn't much info to how he was doing after his stack on the Express Lane section.

You know how boxers train with weights on their arms so when they're removed their punches are super fast? Well Irish downhill riders train drunk so when they're sober, their reflexes are sharper than normal riders!

If you've ever hitched a taxi ride in Donegal, you'll know it's how drivers get good too..
