While I assume they were associated with the original team of that name in some fashion (see: ZeroGravity (stunt team)) I can’t say now how closely they were associated because of the slight difference in the name, whether they were the same group or a UK franchise, for instance. And of course I had my camera with me to take a few photographs of the talented group taking their bikes up and down the ramps, along the rails, and over the jumps set up in the area.

2024 will see the thirty first kite festival take place with kites on show from all over the UK and from around the world. We’ve not been to the previous thirty – I think we’ve only been to a handful – but we were definitely there in 2012 and the pictures below are from that occasion. A bit of sunshine, a few clouds, and decent wind conditions right on the coastline made for a fun occasion and you can see from the photos that it’s a popular event for families to attend.

If I had to guess, then I might say that the theme of the kite festival in 2012 was cartoon characters.
