Welcome to the flatland Area !

Always located so it can be seen by as many spectators as possible, the FISE Flatland area looks like a theatre stage. It offers optimal views for spectators who can get up close to where the riders perform. 

 

 

The simplicity of a flat surface and the creativity provided by 20-inch bikes make BMX Flatland the most artistic urban sports discipline. Riders combine skill, balance and creativity to perform a kind of dance with their bike; the subtlety of each trick and overall aesthetics of the run always count in the scoring. Placed at the heart of each Festival, this competition has quickly become a staple of FISE. 

 

 

Breaking – a dance style that combines body movements and music – originated in the Bronx during the ’70s. A harmony of rhythm and gesture-based activity, judged on technical  movements, forms the basis of this urban discipline. Dancers express themselves in their own unique style through four main types of movement: Toprock, Downrock, Power Moves and Freezes.

After integrating a breakdance show (Breaking) into its opening night two years ago, FISE Montpellier has maintained a close relationship with the French Dance Federation (FFD). The result? Breaking competitions will be part of FISE Montpellier 2019. This collaboration is in conjunction with the World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF) which sanctions the discipline at international level.
