FISE WORLD EDMONTON - CANADA WHY DID WE CHOOSE EDMONTON? WE HAVE OUR REASONS. PERHAPS IT IS THE LEGACY OF ENTREPRENEURS WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS TO CREATE SOMETHING INCREDIBLE. Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Population: 895,000 Sports: Mountain Bike Slopestyle/Skateboard Street/BMX Flatland/BMX Freestyle Park Things like North America s biggest and wildest Fringe Festival. Or a shopping mall that boasts the world s largest indoor amusement park, lake, waterpark and permanent zipline! Or maybe it is because Edmonton is one of Canada s sunniest cities, with 325 days of bright sunshine a year. Edmonton is big city with small-town values and an arts and culture hub, with festivals year round. You will find some of the hottest craft beer taprooms, hyper-local bistros and indie bakeries in Edmonton. There is uniqueness to how Edmontonians do ordinary things! The FISE World Series is the biggest action sports festival in the world. After the first stop in Montpellier, France attracted over half a million fans in May 2016, the festival is visiting North America for the first time. The FISE World Series will take over Hawrelak Park in Edmonton for three days of BMX, Mountain Bike and Skateboard and will feature some of the best riders in the world. This new collaboration with the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Events is an amazing opportunity for amateur and pro riders to participate on the world stage, as the FISE World Series officially hosts the sensational UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup an event recognized by the international governing body of cycling. 7.
DISCIPLINES OF THE STOP The pinacle of action sports SKATEBOARD STREET PARK MOUNTAIN BIKE SLOPESTYLE BMX FREESTYLE PARK The BMX Freestyle Park is an extreme cycling sport; it is both physical and technical. 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 some of the names you will have the chance to see at this event. BMX FLATLAND 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. The DNA of Freestyle sports This discipline comes from California and is a child of Surf culture. At first it was used only as a means to roll around, until it boomed as a freestyle sport in the 80s. Today, it is the most popular board sport, a true lifestyle. There are plenty of sub-disciplines in Skateboarding: downhill, mega-ramp, bowl... But the skate park remains the most developed part, especially regarding competitions. This year is an important milestone in skateboarding history as it officially became an Olympic sport, to be featured at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. FISE is proud to be the first World Series presenting skateboarding competitions. MTB Slopestyle is performed on a course built to reproduce some of the features bikers could find on a mountain. A really breathtaking sport to watch, with its oversized features and with the type of high, fast tricks the rider performs. The challenge of bringing an outdoor sport to the heart of a city is one we are always willing to take! FISE mountain bike slopestyle stops are part of the FMB WORLD TOUR in Gold category. The FMB World Tour is the official international circuit of professional Freeride Mountain Bike competitions in the disciplines Dirt Jump, Big Air, Slopestyle and Big Mountain governed by the Freeride Mountain Bike Association ( FMBA"). The FMB World Tour is sanctioning events in 4 different categories: Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze. 8. 9.
