The second round of the IDMS was held in Rostrevor in northern Ireland. The race was held on the 4/5 of may , They were racing a brand new official track so every one was looking forward to the weekend as it would be something new.
Saturday practice went well , My first few runs were sketchy as the track was a bit greecey so it took me a few runs to get up to speed. I was riding with my team mate Kipper all day and I think we must have busted out about 6 or 7 runs as the uplifts were going flat out. Although I had a chest infection coming into the weekend I was still very much so enjoying myself and after having a good day of practice I was looking forward to Sunday race day.

I Got 2 runs in before my seeding run on Sunday morning and was feeling good for race day , The track was a little bit greecey again in the morning but dried up and was sweet for runs. My seeding run was descent put a solid run together but new I could take some time off in my race run . After a long break in between seeding and race runs I headed up for my run , I hit the top section in my run very well and was on a good run , Unfortunately another rider that was on the track crashed in front of me and I had to go and do a rerun.
I was a little annoyed as the run I was on was going very good but there was nothing I could do . My rerun went okay , I had a few little mistakes up the top that would have cost me a little bit but nothing to major , I was hoping to beat my seeding time as I felt I had a faster run but to my surprise I came down and but the exact same time in which placed me second in my category and my time would also have won the junior category.
All in all was a great weekends racing and I am looking forward to the next race which will be in Innerleithen on the 1/2 of June .
