Trey Jones and the Swampfest crew really outdid themselves once again, and took the course madness to a new level, literally and figuratively. Get a sneak preview into various obstacles, like an actual bowl with pro-poured concrete sections, and a full Cribs-style tour of the 45-foot tall Swamp Castle, all of which will end up as a smouldering pile of ashes come Sunday morning.
As is tradition during the week of Ascension, the city of Montpellier will vibrate to the rhythm of the world’s largest urban sports festival. From May 17 to 21, 2023, nearly 600,000 passionate spectators will converge on the banks of the River Lez in the Occitan city for the FISE, the 3rd largest free sports event in France.
Some 2000 professional and amateur athletes, 7 sports, 14 disciplines, 6 World Cup contests and high ranking competitions... The numbers are quite impressive and position the festival as a major event in the international sports calendar.
Nearly a year before the Olympic Games in France, two key FISE competitions, the 2023 UCI BMX

Hannah Roberts - 1st place | Women's final | UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup Diriyah by FISE
Full send mode on. Hannah Roberts picked up where she left off last year in the UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup… on top.
Logan Martin topping podiums. The Aussie went massive on his epic run in the UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup in Diriyah.
Team China, let’s hear you. Jiaqi Sun just keeps getting better and better and finished with another podium finish in Diriyah.
Marcus Christopher - 2nd place | Men's Final | UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup Diriyah by FISE
World first alert. Marcus Christopher blew our minds in Diriyah with the first ever quadruple downside 360 whip in a live run. He leaves Saudi with a stellar second place performance.
Big day today for the BMX riders as it was the finals of the first round of the 2023 UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. Men and Women fought all day for the first places on the podiums. What a show from the Women riders today. The first heat of riders already set the bar high with the Olympic Champion Charlotte WORTHINGTON’s flair and 360 over the spine and the Chinese rider Qian ZHENG showing the judges and public a backflip turndown and tailwhip on the beginning of her run, 540 and huge 360 turndown.
The second heat continued in this vein with a perfect run from Perris BENEGAS, and Jiaqi SUN first trick 360 tailwhip followed by massive 360 x-up to E.T and so many more tricks.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
