What can I say that was a deadly Champs!! a nice break from Rostrevor.. a Big up to to all the 021 boys and girls for running a storming event! (best describes it) uplifts were spot on timing perfect, weather perfect (god owed them a favor from Dunmanway) Redbull girls(*), the most pimpin DJ box ever and the catering truck with much needed lunch and dinner........and last but by no means least the track itself which was brilliant; dusty dry, flat-out and technical with the most fun I’ve ever had on a 20ft road gap!!!!

sounds like a fantastic event..I have to say I'm delighted to see Carl Young keep on winning the Vets..the man is a legend and an allround nice guy.

Deadly weekend... great to see the fast boys and girls in action...
Did anyone else think that the uplift took more out of you than riding the track... mental, 20 bikes and 20 sweaty lads in a dark cube going 40mph up a fireroad....
Great track though, great organisation, well done to the 021 lads...
It was great getting a cheer from the 6 redbull girls at the end of the seeding run

I didn't go because I'm injured so i made myself suffer in Kilruddery instead Tommy..Jesus did i suffer..but I didn't even sweat one ounce of badness out of me up there..
the stukid punts who make these rules with the nationals having to be on the same planet at the same time in a MTB community as small as ours deserve to be taken out and smothered with pillows made out of their own stupidity..

I can only echo Mark's sentiments - a brilliant event all round. Despite the best efforts of a forgotten helmet (not mine!) and an exploding radiator meaning reduced practice time, it was out and out class. A huge well done to the 021 crew and anyone involved in organising. What a track!

Was a brilliant weekend. I loved the racing, the track was great, and free redbull - what more could you want! (although 9 redbulls in 2 days is probably not the best for me :) ).

Good man Mark, who needs drugs when ur still high on Alpine MEGA air!!!
nice one mark.
The champs where class, better than the ones in rostrevor. Track was legend even though it was a bit pedally. It had cool gaps that ment you had to man up and hit them. It had cool corners and loads of deadlyness.
Where were you u bender, injury sminjury
Good work, allot of EPIC folk high up in the times

Great event , really well organised , super atmosphere. Best race I've been to.

Well they rebuilt me into the €5.50 man, I got short changed in the Limerick hospital. I am so gutting I didn't get to race from pictures it looked class on race day, what a track. Out of all the places I could have landed I had to choose a dam tree stump. I'll know for next time.

Well done girls, hope to c yas all at the next races.
Fair play to 021 Racing it was excellent.

What are you complaing about im sure theres loads of ladies out there who'd give there right arm to be stuck in a dark room with 20 sweaty men. Not sure if you'd want to introduce them to your mother mind you.
Props to all the newbie girlys giving the dh champs a bash. They where all loving it and getting faster with each run.
