Art of Late Breaking

Gary Cowan campaigned the 1989 grand prix trail on the Dutch backed Doc shop Yamaha. He returned to Northern Ireland for the annual end of season Sunflower trophy meeting at Kirkistown. Earlier in the day, Gary easily won the 250 race, and he also entered his machine, just a production TZ 250, in the superbike races. The organisers tried to talk him out of it, pointing out that Ron Haslam was bringing the Pepsi RG 500 suzuki, Brian Morrison on the 750 RC Honda,Steve Cull with the super fast rotary Norton, Eddie Laycock aboard his 500 GP Honda ...and more! However, Gary brought the 250 to the line for this, the second superbike race. Sadly a short five months later, Gary would crash at Daytona, leaving him paralysed from the chest down.

Coward

"COWARD" is a 28 minute film set during World War 1 that brings to light some of the brutal treatment soldiers received for suffering what would now be known as shell-shock. It follows two cousins, Andrew and James, from their home in Northern Ireland who join the British Army to fight for their Country and make their families proud. Through their eyes we see the reality of life on the front lines.

 It is a beautifully shot short film. Well-executed compositions reminded me impressionism paintings.

THE ROAD WARRIORS ♣Irish✜Road Racing

'IRISH ROAD RACING and the 'SOUTHERN 100' 'Isle of Man'. Music By: Within Temptation - a cover of "Radioactive" by the IMAGINE DRAGONS. I would prefer without music.

Ulster GP 2012 North West 200

Nice footage from the Irish road race. The Music is not needed in my opinion. I never understand why they do that. I would rather hear the exhaust noise...
