We've set up a flickr group and would love for you to upload your favourite photos of Clan performances there. Once the photographs are approved by flickr, they will appear in the slideshow below along with our favourite photographs from friends and family. Cleverly, the photos will also appear to our friends on facebook. So get your amazing photos recognised by lots of folk! It is easy to join the group and add your photos. Simply click here (you'll need to register as a flickr user if you haven't already).
Below you will see some of our action over the last few years courtesy of our film-making buddies on youtube. You can also find The Clan on the vimeo video sharing website here.
To keep in touch with the ever-increasing social website scene, you can now keep in touch with The Clan on facebook, as well as on flickr, youtube and vimeo above.

If you have watched our riders bunny-hopping then you will know just how amazing they are. World record breaking! At many of our events, we offer the opportunity for the public to try these techniques. If you have been fortunate enough to have taken part and indeed competed in these workshops, then here is a refresher for you. If you haven't yet and you are coming to see one of our shows, then study the technique below and show us your skills next time you see us! Make sure you practice this on a flat area without any major obstacles so you don't crash into something or someone if you get it wrong!
Step 1
You have to judge your bunny hop. What you have to consider is how far away to start your bunny hop. The general rule is the higher the hop, the further away you have to start.
Step 2
Once you have decided where to start your bunny hop, you need to compress your arms and get ready to pull up on the front of the bike.
Step 3
When you reach the point where your going to start your hop, be fully committed and pull up on your bars lifting the front wheel. So its above the top of the object you desire to hop over but just a few inches back. Extend your legs and get ready to pull up the rear wheel.
Step 4
With your legs extended grip your pedals with your toes and scoop up and back allowing your back wheel to come off the ground*. This will pull your back wheel up underneath you.
*You can practice this on the flat while your front wheel is still on the ground.
Step 5
Once you have left the ground push forward (not down!!) and centre out your weight so the bike comes up with the back wheel underneath your bum.
Step 6
Right now the bike should be level underneath you with your arms extended and your body looking like you were almost sitting on the back wheel. At this point you should have cleared the object you were hopping over.
Step 7
Now that you have cleared whatever you were launching over, extend your arms and legs ready to take the impact from you landing.
Step 8
Let your legs and arms compress again on landing to absorb the impact of the ground.
