    It's well past lidl, the only ting beside lidl is an empty field.

    It's on the Dunmore Rd Ring Road, opposite the hospital.

    Nope!

    Lidl is just off the Dunmore Road, The ice-skating place is on the outer-ring road, which is about half a mile away!

    Go pissed! One of the lads did that this year and didn't fall at all, compared to last year when he didn't stay up at all :D

    It is what it's.

    The almost-falls are far more entertaining than a stratforward splat imo :D Arm-flailing twists and turns as well as a few good screams for ppl to get outta the way!

    It is what it's.

    ah the best though is when someone who thinks theyre great shoots out into the middle of the rink - realizes they dont know how to stop and slams into the barrier at the other side! saw it happen last year in smithfield flippin brilliant!
