Well the Extreme Stunt Show has left Northern IReland after a flat out tour of the Country. So I think it is safe enough for me to put the picks up now, without the chances of spoiling it for anyone.
If however you are in Europe elsewhere and the show hasn’t reached you, you may want to look away now…
I know I have been promising these for quite some time, and if you have been contacting me in relation to when they were going up please accept my apologies for the delay.
It just took a little longer than I was expecting to get the time to trim them down and make sure the best photos made it. I had well over 700 to sort through, and I hope I have brought you the best of them!
The only gripe I have, which to be honest about I am reasonably devastated over is that there was a horribly placed fence just in front of me that played havoc with getting the wheels of the bikes in the shots. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any higher to try and cut over it, and I didn’t want to move, as my position at this chicane was far too good to let go.
The other thing I thought was that the decals and livery of the bikes were just too nice for me to not put up the photos due to the fact that the fence interfered with the wheels a little. So I am aware that the fence is not ideal in the photos, but I also felt you should get a good look at the bikes regardless.
Also this was my first attempt at motion photography, and I have to say I really enjoyed trying a few different techniques. I still am learning and motorsport photography is definitely something I will be working at in the future, so expect some more.
If you live in Northern Ireland you have without a doubt seen the posters up in every town across the country for this ‘Extreme Stunt Show.’ I was really dubious about how a stunt show could be mobile and good, I had a vision of a poor circus, with people who couldn’t give a ^*&?> about the show, and well it’s mobile so how can it be any good. Regardless I went to the Extreme Stunt Show more out of curiosity to see how bad it could be.
And I am happy to say I was WRONG! This is a great day, with really skilled guys doing really crazy things! If you get the chance to go, do so and you’ll enjoy it. I mean skilled and crazy, and that’s a damn good combination!
I have a full Gallery to share in relation to this and a video! WOO HOO! Yes indeed a video! Now it is my first attempt at a video so don’t expect too much, but it is just a taster.
Finally there is a good chance these guys will have left Northern Ireland by the time the Gallery and video are up, so once again if you get the chance to go check them out, do it, and then come back here to remember it!
Oh and as you will see I got a glorious sunny day, actually got a little burnt, but with the crazy ass weather we are getting at the moment, keep you fingers crossed for a nice day, as with any outdoor event I can imagine the rain could really put a dampener on things!
Oh and if you are not in Northern Ireland I believe these guys are touring Europe all summer long!
Full Gallery and Video COMING SOON!
Just a quick note of what’s coming soon. I have a full gallery featuring some of the great action from the North West 200 Motorcycle Races, and another unboxing of a G-Shock, this one is rather special in that there is only 150 globally!
So it’s coming soon!
2012 is Year Six for the Harmony Hill Car Show. It is set up and run by a friendly little chap called the ‘Weed‘ and although it is a strange name, the work he does is good. Harmony Hill is a Charity Show all the cars enter and pay a fee (£10) and Spectators are FREE! Although of course they too can donate to the charity and profits from the BBQ go towards the charity too.
One noticeable thing about the Harmony Hill show is that it somehow gets the weather! And a good car show needs good weather, and this is always a good show!
Please check out the full gallery of over 190 photos on our NICruisin.com FaceBook page, and like it too if you want, there is literally thousands of photos documenting the Northern Irish Cruise scene since the late 1990s right up to now!

Here is just a quick sample…
As promised here is my little post on Northern Ireland’s Festival of Speed. I won’t labour on and on about it though, just check out the pics for a pretty concise series of events for the day.
Remembering that this was the first such event in Northern Ireland on such a scale. And to be fair for a first attempt it was a really good day.
The events were great:
Coming Soon :
A full pictorial and a few afterthoughts on Lisburn’s first ‘Festival of Speed’ held at the Maze / Long Kesh Complex on 28/04/2012
