The 7th and final round of the 2010 Irish XC NPS takes place on Sunday 4th July in the birthplace of Irish mountainbiking – 3Rock Dublin.
3Rock was the place where the Dublin-based legends of the sport, many of them original MADMTB members – Robin Seymour, Darragh Mortimer, Sean Herlihy, Joe McCall, John Pennefather, Rory Walsh, Richie Byrne, Peter Purfield and others – thrashed, crashed and jumped their way into the Hallowed Bible of Irish Offroad Legends.
Back in the day, they ripped around the trails like possessed maniacs, thinking only about the next 30 seconds of trail coming at them, with not a thought that 20 years into the future, most of them would still be at it (maybe less crashing but just as manic).
In recent years, MADMTB has spent many long days and evenings up 3 Rock in all types of brutal and wonderful weather, digging, lopping and clearing new and existing trails by hand to provide top-class singletrack thrills for the Dublin locals and visiting MTBers.
This year, MADMTB have a brand new race course – (no dual-way fireroad this time).
We’ve added some great new superfast singletrack, the combined ‘Sprint’ and ‘Turf Surfer’ trails in particular are very likely the longest and fastest trail section you will ever have raced on in an NPS! (check the video!)

See how the pros manage when things get technical!
EPIC MTB are offering a chance to ride the Nationals course with some of Ireland’s top Elite and Master’s riders.
This is aimed at sports level riders who are unsure what to expect from the Nationals and would benefit from a view pointers on line selection and race technique.
“With EPIC’s reputation for building highly technical course we want to show riders that the whole course is rideable and that every level of competitor should give the Nationals a go!.” Luke Smaul, EPIC MTB
IrishXCMTB have been given 20 places to give away. These will be on a first come first server bases.
Please email lukesmaul@gmail.com to reserve a place.
These will be run from 10am 17th July at Djouce lower carpark. Riders must be self sufficient. This is to be treated as a self guided spin and the pro rider is only there to offer advice but each rider is responsible for their own safety and bike.
