Is there anywhere in Ni that can compare to this...
Its my favourite scene from Kranked 8 Revolve. I have tried the trails on the cavehill run see (this is how it should be done)
I have done Helens Tower and the Mary Peters trails, never been up the Mournes. I heard that Kilbroney and Bigwood are brilliant but i wouldn't know where to start.
Where is the best trail in the country?

In short NO!
Depends what your after and your idea of a good trail. There is a lot of work that goes on building trails and there is some pretty amazing stuff. Though I cant name where as it isnt legit. The land owners know its there and sometimes turn a blind eye to it but the builders are always at the mercy of them pulling it down.
My advice is hook up with other Mountain bikers thats how you find new places to ride. Or just get out and explore. Its amazing what you can find when you look.
Here is me on Cavehill in the Snow ;-)

Would love to join you lot sometime, at the moment though no where near fit enough for xc lol. Just converted my old mtb to a single speed with road tyres to get out and train more often, so hopefully it wont be to long.
