A psyched late night crowd, a line of huge jumps and 20 sick riders, dirt was on. Riders from all over the world pulled out their craziest tricks over the enormous FISE jumps. The crowd was into it the whole time. In the end Frenchman Tristian Musso was the champion, the only French native to represent his home country on the podium the whole weekend. England’s Jack Marchant and Ricardo Laguna out of Las Vegas placed 2nd and 3rd. The grand finale, the big show, whatever you want to call it. The event that always finishes FISE off so well every year definately didn’t disappoint in 2010. The fans packed the banks of the river on either sides of the park to watch FISE BMX Park Finals 2010. Twenty riders going head to head, it was so f
un to watch and I’m sure even more fun to ride. The runs were unbelievable, but when it came to best tricks, thats where it was at! Many guys came so close to landing huge tricks, like Chris Hughes body varial, Michael Beran’s Frontflipwhip, and Brett Banasiewicz’s 1080. And many others landed tricks that just set the fans off. Like Daniel Dhers’ Cash Roll, Mark Webb’s Decade to 360, JB Peytavit, who should have been on the podium for sure with his line of tricks. His 360 triple whip, flip double whip, backflip 360, and bike flip transfer, and Alessandro Barbero’s 360 windshield wiper. Every guy rode so well, and the fans couldn’t get enough of the action. The contest could be summarized in the French Announcer’s favorite line: “FISE wants to see the big tricks, baby ” Even though I didn't ride, I still had a lot of fun seeing friends and hanging out.Nicholi Rogatkin
