It's back after a nine year break with skateboarders, 'BMXers', rollerbladers and surfers all showcasing their extreme sports skills in the free event organisers think will be really good for tourism in the Island.

"Team Xtreme will be in action at 1.30 pm, 3,30 pm, 5.30 pm and 7.30 pm but there’s loads of stuff going on, four bands playing each day, four DJ’s, displays.
"We’ve got about 40 people who have applied to ride on the spine ramp and they’ll get coaching too."
