The Fise Experience in Reims was my first FISE event. I went to Montpellier once, but I was like two years old and don't remember much. It was back in a field that year so before the current location. Anyway, straight after school we we on our way to France. It was only 4 1/2 hours but we hit some traffic jams. We crossed straight through Belgium and then into France. The weather was nice and I could not wait until I got to see the Park course. We checked in at the first class hotel first. We were four people in a room for three people but I got the top of the bunk bed so I was okay. We then went to the contest site and saw some familiar faces at the outdoor concrete skatepark. It was a nice skatepark with a bowl and a street section. It's always there and always open so with the FISE event in town it saw a lot of action. The dirt was built just for MTB. Ryan Nyquist was not there but the French were doing the full line. It was cool they built a pump track next to the dirt course which was open to everyone to ride. Of course I brought my bike and did plenty of laps there. I also got to test the Big Airbag which was fun.

With a presence in Europe and Asia, FISE footprint will continue to grow on an international scale from 2016, and extend its position as one of the leaders in the Action Sports event industry. Early this year, FISE launched a tender process to find additional Host Cities for its2016-2018 World Series featuring emerging sports: BMX, Skateboard, Roller, Mountain Bike and Wakeboard.
