Ups & Down Racing at the Irish Downhill Mountain Bike Series #1 (Carrick) | Oisin O Callaghan

The first IDMS (Irish Downhill Mountain Bike Series) of the year kicked off in Carrick, Wicklow (Ireland). It was a good weekend on a great track—which took its fair share of casualties (check out the footage for some of the gnarly crashes). Had a few bumps over the weekend but glad they happened at Carrick, rather than Poland, the following weekend.

Thanks for watching and the support.
