The professional and amateur athletes come to battle
in spectacular and extremely popular competitions.
Just like at its very beginnings with the Festival des
Sports Extrêmes (FISE), the FISE World Series offers
spectacular events in staple locations of each of the host
cities. The festival like vibe and action sports filled days
are always an important part of the event, but people
can also come to enjoy exhibition villages, demos and
initiations for everyone on top of the regular competition
schedule. Through the tour, the riders cumulate points
through each one of the stops, while gaining important
media exposure and having the possibility to win
significant prize money. Overall rankings are calculated
at the end of the tour, determining the year’s champion
in each one of the disciplines. Notable point this year,
the FISE World Series organizes the UCI BMX Freestyle
Park World Cup for the first time ever, bringing a double
stake for the BMX riders.

Known as The Mile High City due to its altitude

1,600 meters), Denver is a vibrant, youthful,
creative city and the perfect setting for FISE.
It is frequently regarded as one of the best
sports cities in the U.S. due to the vast fans
base of its seven professional sport teams,
including the recent Super Bowl Champion
Denver Broncos. Denver also has a large
population of local athletes – including FISE
World Series BMX athlete, AJ Anaya – looking
to leave their mark. The city is thrilled to host
FISE and to showcase the Sculpture Park

In addition to boasting the ideal venue for

DISCIPLINES
OF THE STOP
The pinacle of action sports
BMX
FREESTYLE
PARK
BMX
FLATLAND
SKATEBOARD
The BMX Freestyle Park is an extreme cycling sport; it is physical, technical and
spectacular aerobatics are practiced in a BMX park with big curves, boxes, jumps,
transfers and others ramps favorable to BMX riding. BMX Freestyle Park professional
competitions are the most popular and spectacular disciplines in the FISE World
Series. You do not want to miss it! This discipline gathers the best athletes from
around the world who come to make the crowd go wild. Daniel Dhers, Mark Webb,
Logan Martin, Daniel Sandoval… these are only a few names you will have the chance
to see in this event!
This discipline developed a strong identity and is quite different from other BMX
styles. With this type of BMX, the riding takes place on a flat surface, where the
riders perform balance tricks, often using only one wheel or only the pegs. The
artistic aspect is at the center of this discipline and style is a decisive argument
in this type of contest. Flat BMX bikes are lighter and shorter, making them more
maneuverable. For more fluidity, many flatlanders use only the front brake and
sometimes no brake at all.
UCI BMX
FREESTYLE PARK
WORLD CUP
PRESENTATION
For the first time in its history, BMX
Freestyle Park becomes a recognized
bicycle discipline, as it is now certified
by the UCI.
This new movement in the cycling world is the result
of a great collaboration between L’Union Cycliste
Internationale (UCI) and Hurricane through the launch
of the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup. The first
edition of the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup 2016
will take place during the international FISE World
Series competitions. It will be the springboard for the
UCI Urban Cycling World Championships, planned for
2017. These championships will include BMX Freestyle
Park, Cross Country Mountain Bike Eliminator (XCE)
and Trials.
The DNA of Freestyle sports… This discipline comes from California and is the child
of the Surf culture. At first, only a mean to roll around, it boomed as a freestyle sport
in the 80s. Today, it is the most democratized board sport. It is literally everywhere: in
fashion, advertising, art and lifestyle. It is truly a way of living and a way to live by. There
are plenty of sub-disciplines in Skateboarding: Downhill, Megaramp, Bowl ... But the
skatepark remains the most developed part, especially regarding competitions. This
year is an important milestone in Skateboarding history as it has officially became an
Olympic sport and will be featured at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games. FISE is proud
to be one of the first World Series presenting skateboarding competitions.

UCI BMX FREESTYLE PARK WORLD CUP
COLLABORATION BETWEEN HURRICANE

knowledge and competencies earned through past
experiences, and work hand in hand in developing the
discipline that is BMX Freestyle Park.
