Mountainbike Aerial Display

MAD Media Information 2006.

The MAD Team have been on the UK Mountainbike scene for over 10 years. The Team are recognised as Europe’s first and No1 Mountain bike Stunt Display Team.

MAD have been all over the UK and Europe performing shows and displays of awesome riding tricks and skills, from Aberdeen to America, Tinges to Tunisia the guys get about just about everywhere.

Last year saw the Team in Saudi Arabia performing on a one-month tour for PepsiCo.

A MAD Demo is totally unique by the fact the riders are the best in their sport, they perform death defying leaps, jumps, hops and balancing skills, using just there bikes (with no engines!) The guys use their skills to demonstrate a level of control skill balance and mind blowing tricks to any audience. All of this is performed on MAD’s custom made demo Mercedes van.

MAD have been involved with some of the most prestigious events in the industry, from Formula 1’s Jacques Villenerve’s birthday party celebrations, to NASS (National Adventure Sports Show) Europe’s largest extreme sports festival.

TV appearances are a regular occurrence for MAD, over the past few years the guys have featured on BBC’s “Blue Peter” Channel 4’s “Big Breakfast” Sky Sports “Yoz Magazine” and Channel 5’s “Under Pressure”. This December you can catch them on Extreme sports.

MAD are not unfamiliar with magazine articles either, from “Mountainbiking UK” “Disney Recess” “Toxic” “FHM” “The Sunday Times” and various regional and local papers, MAD are always on the ball when it comes to photo shoots and articles.
