Visitors were treated to seeing a range of new trucks launched as well as some stunning performances in the main arena, including monster truck car crushing action, the UK’s top ranked freestyle motocross riders, Broke FMX and on Sunday (May 1) The Royal Air Force Falcons Military Display Team spectacularly parachuting into the show.
