This past weekend FISE returned to the United States for the first time in 10 years with a stop in Birmingham, Alabama! With some of the best Men’s and Women’s BMX park and flatland riders in attendance, you know things were bound to get wild. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooperating, so events were cancelled, but they still managed to get in most of the events. Check out a ton of footage that popped up above and below! We will be adding more as it comes in, so make sure you check back.
“Finals were canceled at Fise in Birmingham, Alabama due to inclement weather and rider safety. Not exactly the ending we were hoping for but with looming lightning storms it only made sense. After getting evacuated from the course to take shelter a few times on finals day, the officials ultimately had to make the call. Final scores were taken from the Semi-Final that happened earlier in the day. Hit play and see how it all went down.” – Our BMX

BMX Park Best Trick
“With the FISE Best Trick contest going down before Park Finals, some heavy hitters made the call to sit it out. But there was still plenty of wild trick ideas getting thrown around—some to greater outcomes than others. And shout-out to Natalya Diehm for rolling in with the dudes and nailing the first opposite no-handed flair even done by a women.” – Our BMX
