FISE 2019 - In Photos

Mayhem in Montpellier!

11 Jun 2019

Now that's how you click a 360 table! Sebastian Solano wrapping it round on the second double.

Sao Paulo's dirt assassin Leandro Moreira is no stranger to massive set of doubles, but he and the rest of the crew had to deal with some pretty scary side winds as well. Not a problem for this guy!

Drew Bezanson - lookback over the hip...

... with a ciggy (he doesn't even smoke).

If you wanna see some blasting, then Tom Van Den Bogaard is your man. Three table for the massive crowd of Montpellier locals.

Leandro Moreira with that effortless style.

Mike "Hucker" Clark did his signature run with a three over ever jump. The dude never disappoints.

Daniel Sandoval throwing down the anchor.

The FISE jumps were no joke...

Classic Ben Wallace.

You can't win everyone over.

Stoked.

The crowds at FISE are insane. So was the tram ride home after this!

Dirt winner, Pat Casey with the customary soaking.

Late arrival.

Sergio Layos brought a hell of a lot of style to the Spine ramp.

No one rode the spine quite like Dennis...

Ratty Matty gave the crowd an extra show.

Watching him crowd surf his butt across the top of loads of baffled Frenchies was pretty hilarious.

Rooftop views were on point.

Jason Watts laying it flat during spine qualifying.

One fourth of the spine judges - Hank.

Spine winner, Jose Torres.

A to the...

... K.

Austin Augie exited the street course in style.

This guy is on fire right now. Boyd Hilder - crook bar.

Felipe Alexandre - 360 over half the course.

Billy Perry was smiling all weekend.

Barca blood Miki Fleck is a precision master.

Anthony Perrin was a crowd favorite, especially with these big ol' nose manny 180s.

Best oppo whip in the game?

Brock Horneman - truck before the sun dipped away.

1st - Boyd Hilder / 2nd - Courage Adams / 3rd - Anthony Perrin

Montpellier, France is the home of the FISE contest series and a few weekends back the locals got another hefty dose of BMX fever to their sunny city. To say the city comes alive for those four days is an understatement - the word "jumping" would be more fitting. Over 650,000 people of all ages and backgrounds converge together in one of the most friendly, and equally wild at nighttime, events you can find out there. This year saw the return of Dirt, and despite high winds the best of the best put on a hell of a show on the outskirts of town. Follow that up with the best FISE street course to date and the classic Spine ramp and you've got the perfect concoction of bike riding. Peep the photos and then get the full video highlights of Dirt, Spine and Street.
