MAYOR’S EDITORIAL On behalf of the City and County of Denver, I wanted to be the first to tell you how excited we are to host the Festival International des Sports Extrêmes (FISE) in The Mile High City. We could not be happier to welcome you here, and with our reputation as one of America’s sporting capitals, this simply could not be a better fit for Denver. As you know already, Denver is frequently recognized as one of the best sports cities in the United States due to our sports loving nature and seven professional sports teams, including the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos. And we are proud that we can say Denver is the only U.S. host city for FISE in 2016, and among only five cities selected globally to host this international event. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase our city’s enthusiasm for sports on this international stage. Denver is one of America’s top travel destinations and one of the most exciting…from the spectacular views at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to our vibrant downtown. While you are here, you will discover outdoor, urban adventure in a walkable, compact area. Downtown Denver features 300 restaurants, eight museums and 300 days of sunshine. And, did I mention we have 100 breweries where more than 200 different beers are crafted right here in Denver every day?
“We are proud that we can say Denver is the only U.S. host city for FISE in 2016”
We do hope that you enjoy experiencing one of the world’s most extreme sporting events right here in America’s greatest sports town! Respectfully,
Michael B. Hancock Mayor

11
After two successful first stops in Montpellier (France) and in Osijek (Croatia), the next two stops will take place in North America (Denver, USA and Edmonton, Canada) and the last stop in China in the city of Chengdu. This is the first time in history that a FISE event takes place in North America. During 3 days, the capital of Colorado will host non stop action in Skateboarding, BMX Flatland and BMX Freestyle Park all in one site of exception: the Sculpture Park. AJ Anaya and about a dozen local athletes will try to stand out among top pro riders like Logan Martin, Daniel Dhers, Mike Varga and many others. Needless to say the show will be exceptional! This conquest of the West promises to be as hot as it gets‌

FWD SPORTS
BMX FREESTYLE PARK A complete free form of riding. It’s an extreme cycling sport, demanding technical and spectacular skills, practiced on a BMX park with big transitions, boxes, transfers, and other ramps. You wouldn’t miss it!
Daniel Dhers and Logan Martin, the winners of the FWS 2014 & 2015 are running for the top of the competition in this third stop. Let’s see who will get the lead here in Denver!
UCI BMX FREESTYLE PARK WORLD CUP For the first time of its history, BMX Freestyle Park becomes a recognized and accredited discipline by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the highest cycling authority in the world, approved by the Olympic International Committee. A double stake for the riders!

FWD SPORTS
BMX FLATLAND This discipline developed a strong identity and is quite different from other BMX styles. With this type of BMX, riding takes place on a flat surface, that doesn’t include any ramp, jump or grind rail, where the riders perform balance tricks, often using only one wheel or only the pegs.
The artistic criterion is at the center of this discipline; and style is a decisive argument in this kind of contest. Flat BMX bikes are lighter and shorter, making them more maneuverable. For more fluidity, many flatlanders use only the front brake and sometimes no brake at all.
This is the second of the 2016 FISE World Series and you will be lucky enough to see the best riders in the discipline with Matthias Dandois, World Champion in this sport, Alexandre Jumelin and Joris Bretagnolles You will be impressed for sure!

SKATEBOARDING Coming from California and created by surfers, skateboarding has come a long way. Being mostly used as a mean of transportation at the very beginning, the sport exploded in the 80s to get to the form we know today.

Nowadays it is the most democratized board sport around the world: with its recognized culture, its own fashion, musical universe and icons. Seriously, who never had a “Skater� era in his life?! Come meet us on the Park and admire the technical talents of the skateboard athletes such as Victor Pellegrin or Vincent Milou!
