5k's down a hill and there's a gate at the end? What a pisser if they don't let you through.

Looks really safe and all. No gloves and slippery horse poop on the ground.
I must say, he's really brave or just plain...

@2 ..stupid. Wrong type of bike for that kind of road too.. suspensions ftw

Gee. A video of someone riding a bike down a hill.
Hold the Front Page.

Looks like the kinda roads I cycle in the Wicklow Mountains.... not a chance I'd be doing this speed!

#3 suspension,,,,, a real cyclist does not have them !

( besides that you would not get that speed when you have suspention )

I did not see a speedometer. That coud`n be 96km per hour... Is it was flat asfalt, maybe. This is 40-50km/h MAX

For the most realistic experience of this video do what I do. Have a 12" fan behind your laptop and get real close to the screen and have a spoonful of horseshit ready to waft under your nose at the appropriate moments..Stunning

Cool. Now go back up at the same speed.

Who ever made the title should be shot , this is no back road .... this is a motorway by Irish standards.

And thats the road

Most Irish roads are like this as i remember, i love Ireland

#10, Why are you promoting our country as the Americans do in every film? Yes we have back roads, but doesn't every country?! How many motorways are built on the side of mountains? There are actual motorways too..we are still one of the world's richest countries, despite our economy troubles..and yes we have electricity...I'm not using a water mill to power my laptop

Now, I'm off for a boxing match with Tom Cruise, his donkey didn't buy me a drink

not believing this goes almost a hundred km/h. my mopet goes 40 and looks faster then this

#12 Where did you come up with "we are still one of the world's richest countries"? I have searched and can not find data to support that claim. I would not care if Ireland WAS the richest,I have just never heard that one before.

#12 Ya but barra jesus the fucking roads are a joke in some places with the councils just tar and chippin every time theres a hole and never doing a right job on em

#14, emmm, in the link you posted, we're 13th on the GDP per capita list...and 58th on the GDP list..you searched and cannot find data to support that claim"..eemm..ok...How long did you look?! We were also 5th a few years ago at our economic peak...Compared to a country the size of the USA, yeah nothing to brag about...but for the size of our country (i.e. a similar size to the state of Indiana!), you have to admit it's pretty impressive!

#15, ah I know you're right, although most main roads have seriously improved in the last few years...I just hate those movies (and family guy..and the simpsons etc..)where they think we're all just a big bunch of drunk farmers who live in tiny thatched cottages down never-ending backroads!

A Russian man and an Irish man were chatting.
The Russian man said to the Irish man: "pff, only women put milk in their tea in Russia".
The Irish man replied: "Only women drink vodka in Ireland".
And that's the truth!

#16 you are also 15th in the world in alcohol consumption according to wiki. Number 1 in most other lists.......congrats!
