2014 saw the birth of the FISE World Series. The tour brought BMX and a couple of other sports to France, Andorra, China and Malaysia. With a good sum of money on the line at the end of the series, several riders decided to hit up the stops looking for a chunk of that prize purse and taking the opportunity to see a bit of the world. The last stop on the program was held in Langkawi Island in Malaysia. Most of us had never heard of it prior to the FISE World Series but the place became good fun as soon as everyone found out it was cheap there and they had scooters for rent. In no time the mopeds were rented out and the island was discovered by the scooter gang. It did not matter if it rained or not as it was warm enough and it made for some good skids.
In town for the FISE were a.o. Daniel Dhers (VEN) who had his mind set on that € 12.000,= euro check for the overall winner. The top five of the most recent stop in China got their flights and hotel paid for so Logan Martin (AUS), Alex Coleborn (GBR), Andreev Konstantin (RUS) and Mike Varga (CAN) also made the trip.

All good things come to an end. Haro's parting ways with Jack Clark. Jack's been part of the HARO Bikes program for the last two years and got to travel to events in Asia, Germany, The Netherlands, many in France and the UK, next to a visit to California. If you follow Jack on facebook you know that he's traveling all over the place on a daily basis riding as many parks as possible in his own style. He's the first to drop in, and the last rider to leave the ramp plus he gets more rides in than anyone on the platform. The technically skilled rider will be scooped up by an other company soon.
The 2015 Haro Pro team continues as follows. Dennis Enarson, Ryan Nyquist, Tyler Fernengel, Mike Gray, Matthias Dandois, Dennis McCoy, Jason Watts, Simon Tabron, Matt Cordova, with Jadin Covert and Colton Walker on flow along with many distributor sponsored riders from all over the world.
