Red Bull Hardline Maydena

[Jabubu]

Though not the fastest it was quite humbling to watch, and probably is about as good most of us could ever get!

I'm quite enjoying his videos - he did the Trans Madeira last year and had a blast. He seems like a likeable chap and has a good go at disciplines outside his comfort zone.

Great photos!!! We were there in the weeks prior watching them set up, but it would have been nothing compared to watching the race.

Honestly they were moving so damned fast it was just a 1sec blur of each rider basically, utterly insane how much speed they were carrying through the loose moondust and barely-there berms. Wild

To put into perspective...

They are descending 600 metres in 3mins15 best time.

Our typical descent from the top, though 800m and down the tracks made for mortals, is about 23mins.

MJ didn't have the best start to race day morning...

She’s the fucking boss. Any Little stack and I get the nervous shakes and start making more mistakes. She just dusted herself off (after very big stacks) and hit monster gaps. So stoked that she and Gracie killed it as part of the event.

Louise gopro.. gets back up, keeps caning it as fast as before!

Ronan Dunne you fucking legend !

I've stayed way from anything RBHL for 2 days, what a run... typical Irish, nothing to lose.

Red Bull helmet coming up for the Irish bloke !

His eyes before the race run reminds me of young Cam McCaul, darty and random

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

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..
