The 15th annual FISE (Festival International Sports Extrêmes) will take place in Montpellier, France along the Berges du Lez River May 30-June 5. FISE is one of the biggest European Freestyle Contests and will play host to the world’s best professional athletes in Wake, BMX, MTB, and Skate. Tens of thousands of spectators flood the banks each year to get an up close and personal view as the college town of Montpellier transforms into an adrenaline packed, action sports arena.

For the wake competition, two, side by side, Sesitec System 2.0’s will pull riders down both sides of the “street style” course, allowing them to maximize course space and take more creative lines and approaches in their runs. Check out the new setup for this year, designed by French rider Hugo Charbit.

Confirmed riders include Kevin Henshaw, Keith Lidberg, Nico von Lerchenfeld, Shane Bonifay, Marc Rossiter, Mike Ennen, Yann Thibault, Nate Perry, Brian Reeder, Kaesen Suyderhoud, Trevor Bashir, Dan Nott, Quinn Silvernale, James Young, Rocco von Straten and many more. The best of the best will once again converge on Southern France for a fierce rail-riding battle and a week of parties and action packed madness. The FISE experience always leaves a lasting impression on all those who attend.
