Kells -Irish jump jockey`s

Ryan Farqhuar lands from the famous 150mph Kells jump in Ireland 2009.....this sort of action happens every meeting,s`why I`m a follower.They fly up to 6ft in the air and travel about 40ft lengthways.Awesome sights.

Want summat to do over the off season ? Grab some road race dvds,they won`t dissapoint !

Fifteen years ago my regular ride home from work involved a loverly stretch of two lane country road with a similar, if way less radical, jump. Road speed limit 50mph. Taken at 60 -70 mph you'd get a nice front wheel loft. Taken at 80 - 90 mph you'd get a foot or two off the ground and fly 10-12 ft. Taken at 100 - 120 (my testicles wouldn't allow any more) you could get a 3-4 foot loft and about 20-25 foot flight... felt like 100ft up and a mile long!!! Also had to really crack it on lift-off to keep the front up and not land fork first and induce a pant wetting, and bearing-crushing, wobble!

I think you`re road race material,Mick.Just wear a cricket box ! lol.

Used to do the same stretch in a turbo mazda 626 with the misses... lock the suspension on HARD and hold on!!!!

Theres summat good about catching air on a bike or in a cage.
