BMX FREESTYLE PARK
FISE Freestyle Park covers an area of 1,500m² and is composed of iron and wood structures. These are oversized to meet the needs of the pros while maintaining the lines needed for amateurs to express themselves.

UCI BMX FREESTYLE PARK WORLD CUP PRESENTED BY MONTPELLIER MÉDITERRANÉE MÉTROPOLE

One of the most popular competitions at FISE, BMX Freestyle Park is characterized by aerial tricks made possible by the shape of the structures and the speed of the riders. If the technicality of the tricks is important in the scoring, other criteria such as the use of the whole Park and the originality of the lines chosen also contribute to evaluate this discipline.
