Can't find any shots of a jump at Ballaspur, but there was a BIG jump at Ballagarraghyn, about a quarter of a mile before Ballacraine, I have a shot of Les Graham nose-diving the 500 MV there.
The Ballig Bridge jump was filled in both sides to level it, it was a real wheel-breaker in the 1920s!
Harold Rowell was a stand-in stunt rider for No Limit - after the professionals had both ended up in Noble's Hospital. He was told to make a spectacular leap at Ballig. He practiced for weeks to make sure he could land on the x marked on the road.
Come the day of filming, he flew over at a great height, to find the cameraman was standing on the X!
