I think I can probably eek out a few more mph, I didn't start trying until halfway down the hill. 
Set my PB on the road today, hit 50mph on a downhill, only double the speed limit
Nice. Pics of the hill next time?

Only about an 8% grade I think, just nice and straight for just under a mile. No way I'd be trying to carve switchbacks at that speed
I have to say I really like these silver treks
I like your Remedy 9 too
Why the different tyre's wiiija?
I take it the 'Racing Ralph' has better rolling ability?
Yeh lower rolling resistance on the ralph, perfect for local riding (apart from certain places where the clay/mud is a foot deep at the moment). I have another nic for the rear though for our coed y brenin trip in a couple of months.
Standard non UST but I'm running them tubeless with some stans sealant, works a treat and no punctures

oh man, just been out for ride and our little run has been trashed, all the north shore stuff has been ripped down along with the 7ft jump (btw I never tried that one) loads of stuff dumped in landing areas of the what jumps are left 
He broke an arm or something along those lines. I was gutted when I found out as there was soo many plans for development at the time, that plus the recession means no more investment unless it is privatly funded. Oh well, Glentress will have to do!
Don't they have insurance?
DAFF (Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries) fund all the trails and DH tracks over here providing they can get insurance. They're going to be building another DH track at South Barrule once they get the insurance, should be done by the summer with a bit of luck.
