Just a few days to go before the FISE Xperience Series lands in Thonon-les-Bains, from August 15 to 17, 2025. Now in its fourth edition, the event continues to grow and attract attention beyond France’s borders, with a festive programme and a more competitive line-up than ever before. Once again, the city will host a BMX Freestyle Park Coupe de France stage, organized with the support of the French Cycling Federation. This well-established national competition now draws an increasingly international field. Among the athletes already confirmed this year are riders from Germany, the UK, Czech Republic, Italy, Chile, and Colombia, alongside some of the best French talents.
The French National Team will be in attendance, along with many regulars from FISE Montpellier and the rest of the Xperience Series. Spectators will be able to cheer on French rider Laury PEREZ, finalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Colombian Juan CAICEDO, winner of the Best Tricks Spine Ramp at FISE Montpellier 2025, as well as promising young talents from all over Europe.
In addition to the competitions, the event offers a full-scale summer festival experience for families and fans of all ages. Two of Thonon’s most iconic venues will host the action: the Belvédère, with daytime contests and stunning views over Lake Geneva, and Square Paul Jacquier, the heart of evening entertainment.
