EPIC MTB TRAILS IN IRELAND - THE GAP BIKE PARK

I rode some epic MTB trails in Ireland at the Gap Bike Park while visiting Dublin. I was on my Enduro mountain bike and these were some of my favorite trails I filmed with my GoPro!!
I visited Ireland for some fun and realised there was a bikepark super close to where I was staying in Dublin, so I took my Haibike Enduro Bike along with me to have a session. The bikepark I went to was called the gap and it has 14 different trails varying in difficulty and also an uplift service which is awesome. After riding for a whole day I was supposed to finish the video with some urban freeride around dublin but due to forgetting my shock pump I missed out on that. After flying home I met up with Lewi Pilgrim and decided to finish the video at our local riding spot on the e bikes! I hope you like the video and the random ending!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Another cracking video. Nice to see the Irish lads shred bikes with same style and speed that they drift cars lol. Looks very similar to bike park wales. I bet it was great to play there.

[@sheepdog1102]

The Boys in Ireland can ride with the best of them! Go Ireland! Great video!

[@thechubbyspud2561]

Much love from Ireland

[@microwavefish]

I've always been interested in mountain biking and I'm finally getting an actual mountain bike. I'm pretty sure it's the closest park to me. As soon as the restrictions are eased I hope I'll get to ride there.

Nice trails in Ireland... It was very funny and incredible to see how you've been having fun there... thanks for sharing.

I'm going there on Saturday, my friend was there and he says he got to ride your bike😂his name was jamie

[@HUSHHUSH-]

That bike park preview of all the lines was insanely good

[@HuFilms]

Those guys are trying to go so fast knowing Sam is behind them and Sam is keeping up so easily. Great riding!

[@christiancoleman7387]

Because I go here so often I realise how bad the go pro effect is when it comes to steepness

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

what is go pro effect?

[@steve01424]

FEELING HEALING FREQUENCES makes everything look flat

[@smashyrashy]

@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 basically it means the trails look a lot easier on camera then they actually are in person it happens with gopros for some reason

[@vilemhanek1259]

That happens because it has "fish eye", you see more than at normal camera, but with "go pro effect"

[@TheDave000]

I feel you man! The stuff I ride down with my arse over the rear wheel and both brakes fully on looks just beyond completely flat on go pro.

[@billywallis1408]

It’s awsome to see you ride at GAP. I was fortunate enough to work for Back on Track who is a trailbuilding company who built the bikepark. Stoked to see all the trails and more flowing and holding up well. Be sure if you visit again to get in with the locals and do some exploring. There are some awsome trails if you know where to look. There are also a set of dirt jumps you would have driven past not far from Gap.

[@00networker]

Nice sam bit extreme flying all the way from ireland just for a shock and tyre pump lol nice one guys 🤘

[@peterdelaney1946]

Great to see you visited the GAP. Come back to Dublin and make an urban freeride video.

[@SamPilgrim]

peter delaney yeah that was the plan! Will do it next time!

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

I live in Ireland and only starting MTB in the age of 31 cant wait to hit these places

[@yolo4035]

Another great video as always Sam keep them up bro I’m loving them 👍🏽

[@patoc2857]

There are 2 other mountain bike parks within 20 mins drive from here. Ticknock and ballinastoe. No uplift for the others, just trails but dedicated and in good shape. Biking.ie for more info. Decent MTB weekend trip where you could hit all 3.

[@jamesroberts6369]

[@woodyatlarge]

Where in Northern Ireland are there trails like these ,its not Rostrevor and Kilbroney that's for sure,I've been riding mtb in N.Ireland for 15 years and it has nothing like this that's man made.Possibly some good natural stuff in various places but to be honest the trail centers in the south of Ireland are superior to the north.

[@JoeyG333]

@@woodyatlarge natural trails are where it's at man and I can name alot. Ravensdale bigwood castlewellan lumpers barnet demesne donegal mountains

I bought a new battery a couple weeks ago from the U.K. and also a badass Bosch tuning kit for one of my ebikes for 131pounds. It's Awesome!! Now that bike does 40+ miles an hour on flat ground. I've been riding some of my favorite jump trails in reverse for a totally new riding experience. Thought I'd tell you about it, maybe for an older bike you have. Mine absolutely rips!!

Longest but possibly the most boring trails in Ireland bar the short tech trails at the start. Certainly good ground for an e bike though as it's mostly pedalling.
