Scarborough Extreme, a festival of action sports and outdoor activity took place at the weekend, with spectators treated to professional BMX, skateboard, inline and scooter demonstrations as part of a wider programme of events in the North Bay.

On Saturday September 19 and Sunday September 20, North Bay served as the main hub of Scarborough Extreme, an event aiming to inspire people to try something new, regardless of age or experience.

Produced by Scarborough Fair in partnership with North Yorkshire Sport, the event brought together community sports clubs and activity providers based in and around the town for an unmissable showcase.

Watersports, BMX, skateboarding, martial arts, climbing and graffiti art activities were on offer, with professional athletes demonstrating their skills alongside clubs and providers offering visitors the chance to get involved themselves.

The event’s third annual iteration provided attendees with the chance to participate in everything from high-adrenaline sports at Hairy Bob’s skatepark, to joining led-groups of sea swims, surf tasters and outdoor yoga.
