FISE Montpellier 2024 is just around the corner. To keep you waiting, we tell you more about the BMX Freestyle Park and this year's competition! 🙌

UCI BMX FREESTYLE PARK WORLD CUP PRESENTED BY MONTPELLIER MÉDITERRANÉE MÉTROPOLE

An Olympic discipline since 2020 and one of the most democratized of urban sports, BMX Freestyle Park is characterized by aerial tricks made possible by the shape of the structures and the speed of the riders. While the technicality of the tricks is important, they also seek to make full use of the Park by finding original lines.
