Ballyhoura new DH section

[@marcelwarmuz6460]

Very nice trail but for me looks like blueish flow trail but not DH at all.

[@drum7520]

You are correct. I think they change all concept in this trail centre. As more trails will turn this way, so many people can use them.

[@eugeneoregan5559]

What section is that on?

[@drum7520]

It's an old downhill section.

The start of the brown

Man, no disrespect to your upload but that trail looks awful 😕. They might as well have just laid down a footpath there. That surface they use is lethal too if you push into the berms, no grip at all. Very badly designed trail.

I think if you have more experience in trail building you can contact builders directly. It's the same team who build Kinnity trails, BPI etc.

@@drum7520 Yeah I knew it was the same crowd who built the slieve bloom trails. Trailbreaker over in Dublin do it right with natural features built into the trail and using compacted earth rather than loose gravel.

[@drum7520]

Well I think idea is to get it more usable to beginners etc. Not everyone can manage natural terrain. Specially it has plenty natural terrain build by locals. Most of trails are not usable there, I mean white loop is more than enough as I don't see benefit doing red for example. Not a big fan of loose gravel as well, but after it settled its just fine. You should see Sligo trails after they were opened. It was a gravel at the bottom of the trail, like gravel trap, that's was dangerous
