2016 FWS KICKS OFF
The FISE organizers invited the national and international press this morning in la Bellevilloise, Paris, to announce the official FISE World Series 2016 dates. The tour is growing some more this year with 5 dates on the calendar
Take a look at what is coming!
Do you know about the FISE World Series?
The FISE World Series are an action sports world championship that gathers the best riders in the world in disciplines like BMX, Skateboard, Mountain Bike, Inline skate and Wakeboard. Both amateurs and pros come to the competitions to battle on custom made parks, built and created by the FISE Area team.
This FWS World tour offers free events in staple locations in each one of the host cities. The riders have the chance to accumulate points and win prize money on each one of the stops. Overall rankings are calculated at the end of the year, to determine the overall FWS Champion in each one of the disciplines. There is a big novelty this year on the FWS, as we will be organizing the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup.
Are you ready to follow us around the globe?
Here we go! First stop, Montpellier in France, on May 4-8 for the biggest event of the tour, the FISE World Montpellier presented by Honor. This event has become a classic in the Languedoc Roussillon Midi Pyrénées region, and with reason: this year will be the event’s 20th edition!
