Really a cool read. 13 well written pages of riders insights with some pictures. It sounds fun but, crazy on a bike. My favorite part of the write up is "and then out towards Ballacry. It's a fair old jump there but if you just happen to hit the jump at a little bit of a funny angle, the back end starts to come round in the end - even in some of the video shots I've seen some of the guys with serious wobbles there. You're carrying a lot of speed through there, you're almost airborne. On a big bike I would say 150 to160mph - the whole bike is airborne. It can tend to jump a little bit squint sometimes. I've broken screens there before, just with a whip and you might just touch it with your helmet and take a chunk of screen out - it's quite a nasty bump there.'
