In 2021 the Urban Sports are back on the French roads with the FISE Xperience Series
Since 1997, FISE is a festival that brings together Urban disciplines such as BMX, Skateboard, Roller, and Scooter Freestyle among many others. Its French tour, the FISE Xperience Series, is going to the emblematic cities' heart to organize competitions, initiations, and demonstrations to support the development of these sports. By going to meet local practitioners, each stage gives them the opportunity to challenge the best national and European riders from BMX Freestyle Park, Flatland and Dirt, Skateboard, Roller and Trottinette Freestyle near their homes. The objective is to promote the passion of amateurs and juniors, detect talents and offer them a springboard while demonstrating the commitment of host cities to sport and youth.
