    There's a set of wooden jumps on the western side of Three Rock, near the shooting range. There's a section that comes out of the forest, runs along a fallen tree and then a big drop across a stream/walkway onto a short trail to another jump.

    They've been there for years and I'm presuming Coillte didn't build them!! They don't look like they've been used in quite a while. I've seen a video of a guy going off one of them but that's it.

    Anyone know much about them?

    Don't know about 3 rock, but there's ramps opposite Knocksink woods as you head from Enniskerry direction that were in active use over the summer. Really weird as you cycle by and see a kid on a BMX in mid air on the far side of the road.

    Yea that's the vid I've seen. Remember the music!! Obviously from a good while ago. Trees at the back were chopped and a lot of vegetation is back. Lower jump is also in much better nick!

    As long as someone doesn't use it without checking its not going to kill them, hopefully they'll leave if there.
