Guided Tour Ticknock MTB Trails - GoPro

[@Nologogo]

Thanks so much. Really appreciate you taking the time to put this together, as I imagine all other beginners to ticknock will.

[@TrailAdvisor]

Wow. Thanks for the kind comment. You’re very welcome.

[@TrailAdvisor]

The red loop less difficult than the black. I wouldn’t suggest either for anyone that’s never mountainbiked! But if you have ridden red tequlcentre trails before this is exactly that. Similar to a blue bike park trail.

[@Hi-kq5rx]

I love the way you review trails in Ireland - not many people do

[@pauljnicholls3929]

The best tour guide video I've seen so far of anywhere. That was brilliantly done and narrated. Definitely worth a visit.

[@TrailAdvisor]

Wow. Thanks for that.

[@aungier93]

good shit, just realising watching this that we missed half the course when we rented bikes. Will be back soon as just bought a mountain bike.

[@brendansherlock6442]

Great video. I haven't been to Ticknock in years since moving to Limerick, used to 3 spins a week. Myself and the lads had fun with our own challenge: on Blazing Saddles, do the run using only pumping. A few cranks to get some momentum the rest is pumping till the end. It can be done, try give it a go if yee havent, changes it up a bit I should add, medium compression and faster rebound in fork /sus along with higher psi in tyres help, rail the berms of course

[@TrailAdvisor]

👍

[@marktheshark2000]

I've never wanted an e bike more, beatan up and down! Great vid thanks Al!

[@TrailAdvisor]

Did I pass you?? They are deffo getting very popular! I use mine about 30% of my spins I reckon! Great fun on your own or with other ebikers but no fun waiting on others if not on ebikes.

[@marktheshark2000]

@@TrailAdvisor No I was there Saturday and I didn't see you, you have passed me out before though. Yeah going to start filling the piggy bank for one for soon!

[@TrailAdvisor]

Haha

[@dylanj3609]

Deadly video Al a guided tour pt.2 of purple road,dickies etc would be whopper🙌🏻

[@TrailAdvisor]

Would love to but trail police would be on to me!!

[@DylanTansey]

I’m only getting back on the bike after a few years off it! I’m on a haibike full sus! Up there most Saturdays when the weather is decent! Getting to know the tracks more and more especially the ones you have on this video that! The fork looks savage! I’ll give that a go this Saturday! While being hungover 😝

[@TrailAdvisor]

Nice one Dylan. Enjoy.

[@PaulCignol]

Went to Ticknock for the first time yesterday and found your video really helpful for navigating around, had a great time, thanks!

[@TrailAdvisor]

[@davygarrett]

Great vid...thanks for your time and effort, heading over that way in August...was looking at doing either Ticknock or Balinastoe...saw your other vid about Balinastoe....methinks that's the one to do....ticknock looked brutal.... for a hardtail 😎😎🚴🚴, trails are way different to my local 7stanes

[@TrailAdvisor]

Hey David. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the comment.

[@alonerider6491]

just started doing trails up in tiknok its really fun

[@heylinme]

Great video 😎👍 They've done some savage work to the trails since I've been up there. Can't wait to get back to Ticknock. I might be a tad rusty though 🙄

[@TrailAdvisor]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@keithbyrne1234]

Thanks for this video al. never been to ticknock trails even though ilive close by, always felt they be to advance for me as only a beginner . have done ballinastoe a few times and around the leadmines/ballycorus beside my house . think i will give ticknock a go when my new bike arrives his week

[@TrailAdvisor]

Ticknock is a great spot Keith. Stick to the blazing Saddles on the upper loop initially and you’ll be good. New bike day!!! Nice!! No better feeling.

[@colmmcdonnell4137]

I was there today and say you dropping into metro 1 the small jump trail

[@pringlewheel]

Great vid. Keep ‘em coming!

[@TrailAdvisor]

Thanks! Will do!

Hi Elaine, Its a Santa Cruz Bullit EBike for this spin.

[@dmooney71]

Hi al where did you get the bike? We’re you waiting long?

[@eddiedempsey494]

Great stuff as always pal 👍. Kinda missed what ya said about a particular trail you said was probably the fastest trail in Ireland which one was that . Great vid 👌 Nice to do it from a beginners perspective

[@TrailAdvisor]

Yeah audio was white on this vid. Sorry. Was saying expressway in Ballinastoe is very similar only faster and longer!!! Will try do same type thing there next week!!

[@eddiedempsey494]

@@TrailAdvisor nah your grand the audio was pretty good considering your up tbe mountain, did ballinastoe last year pre lockdown the expressway was just recently done up ,i loved it 😀. May just stick to sleive bloom untill we can travel again .

[@guyhendo]

Great vid as always. How about a bike tour of the new Bullit? Lovely bike 👌

[@TrailAdvisor]

Maybe yep!!

[@mygoalcrash8077]

Best trails in Dublin!

[@DavidGamble-rj4fn]

This video is great really helpful as I’ll be heading down here in a couple of weeks time. ? Is this anywhere near the gap? Thanks👍

[@TrailAdvisor]

Hey. Very welcome. Yes you can access this whole area from GAP also. Since this video was done a couple of new trails have been done. My latest video is one of them but takes you off the loop with a pretty decent push to get back on it!!

[@stephenmurray7605]

Great vid. really helpful. Would an xc bike we capable on this trail?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Thanks Stephen. It really depends on how capable the rider is but I have done it on my hardtail and even on a gravel bike (not very comfortable at all)

Could you do a guide of the GAP or would that never cross your mind

There no real “route” to doing GAP but I do have a playlist of all GAP related content. kzbin.info/aero/PLh1ovue8Ox1fBnz3z5EujzqDWm8Z9i1wc

What do you think you'll do after you've Done videos in all your local trails?

[@TrailAdvisor]

There’ll be new ones! There are so many I haven’t even done yet!!

[@brody5211]

Would be fine on a gravel bike .?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Not really no. Unless you are looking to inflict pain and suffering. You would need to be very confident on a bike. I have a vid of me doing it on a gravel bike Here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp-4hYR6i92Sras Like it can be done but not ideal!

[@brody5211]

@@TrailAdvisor thanks can you recommend any gravel trails so ?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Cruagh / Tibradden on a weekday. Ballinastoe would be good too with a great spin to view out over Guineas lakes. Have a look at the tour vid. There is definite scope to stay on fire roads and create a long spin.

[@SingleTracker]

Hi Al what resolution did you film in and how much gig did it take up on your card doing it in 1 shot?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Hey pal. Did this in 1080 / 60. Bitrate high. Was about 18/19gb I think! The edited version was 9gb after speeding up the climbs. Used the gopro Max in hero mode as the Max lens on 9 is being replaced and I couldn’t find original lense.

[@SingleTracker]

nice one, on my second max lens myself , first one scratched to hell 😆

[@Roadworks_ire]

What mount to you use for your go pro?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Chesty mostly

You passed me as I was struggling up the purple road a few days ago Al, you'd two other lads with you also on e bikes. Seriously considering getting one! What brand and make is yours?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Hmmm thought I only saw o e other biker in purple rd. and he was in an e bike!! What bike you ride??

@@TrailAdvisor It's a vitus escarpe with the orange fox 36 forks. It was definitely you anyway, said hello an all 👍

class!!! I think goals are great for progression. keeping you motivated to get faster!

[@MolonyProductions]

I nearly only do the red for the sake of the climb to the black Not worth it imo

[@TrailAdvisor]

Yep. But a very good trail to do if the Black is too beyond abilities!

[@jackgreenday1]

Love the vid! What are the best natural trails to try for a beginner in ticknock? I’ve done jeffrey jungle and really enjoyed it. Looking for something of similar difficulty to that. Any suggestions?

[@TrailAdvisor]

Thanks Jack. Bungle Jungle would be a good one too. Satellite above it is also ok. Not too steep but very tech. Stuff like red tractor would be a step up.
