Background to XtremeFest Felixstowe 2008....
This Extreme Festival event started in 2007 and it went with a bang! It was a taster to evaluate how this kind of event would be received within the local community, we got the answer, it was a storming event! Just ask anyone if Felixstowe about Xtreme Fest and they'd know about it. So this was a positive stepping stone for a fantastic show providing loads of things to do, to watch, and interact with.
Felixstowe Xtremefest 2008 hosted many activities on the day, from a halfpipe sponsored by EdgeRiders, MAD mountain bike display team, windsurfing freeride sessions, climbing wall, and live music throughout the day and more.
