walker Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) A week or so ago the M.A.D. team went all the way up to sunny Orkney to perform the M.A.D. show. We managed to grab a few spare hours to hit the largest town on the island, Kirkwall and bash out some lines! Riders are Tim Stedman, Nick Manning and me, thanks to Tim for the photos (he's currently in Guernsey on another tour!) Photos: The Team Rover Nick - Drop to post on slipway ...And back up again Tim - Same move Nick - Technical line across corner of rails, watery death on one side! Setting up for gap up Making the gap without realising there was a big heavy chain at the far side, made for an interesting jump off! Tim doing the rail line using a 2 wheeled method Me- Big drop off concrete thing Same drop mid flight Tim - Hop up to rail and landing on narrow wall Tim - doing it the other way Me - same move Hope you like!

Ali C Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 good big scary stuff! You guys get around! Although you're about 5 months too late for the Orkneys. As long as you don't go to Lewis though, those are property of The Clan lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Surely the daylight was a bit limited 5 months ago, they only get about 6 hours of light a day in the middle of winter, ...on a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 it was a little short yes, but when we were in Lewis, it was the week coming up to the longest day, we were camping out and it never "properly" went dark, was pretty nuts.

Nick Manning Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Kirkwall had some pretty sweet stuff to ride, shame about the wind making it hard to nail some of the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
