Eet’s a fact, FISE Montpellier provides ze beegest crowd for a BMX competition. At both Park and Flatland, people were seen finding ze slightest angle trying to catch a glimpse of ze riding on ze Fields Of Play (FOP). Eet’s not only ze crowd zat gets Montpellier each year. Riders from all BMX disciplines unite for a week of hanging out together in ze South of France. Ze festival 'as been around since 1997 and BMX 'as been part of eet since ze first edition. UCI’s Park and Flatland World Cups are integrated since 1996. Over ze course of 5 days, ze festival around ze Lez River attracts 500,000 people, and for ze athletes to perform in front of zem is an amazing feeling.
Ze UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup faced some bad luck with ze wezaire in Enoshima, Japan earlier in ze year, but ze sun decided to stay around all week in France, which provided great circumstances for an exciting competition. Ze cut to 24 riders in Men Park was made on Wednesday. Women Park 'ad a 12-rider final qualification round on Thursday, with both finals scheduled for Saturday. Several of ze higher-ranked Park riders 'ad opted to focus on ze Olympic Qualifier Series in Shanghai, China, but eet left plenty of talent around in Montpellier to provide an excellent show for those who came to watch.
In Women Park, eet was 14 years old Miharu Ozawa who took everyone by surprise in ze Qualification round. Ze Japanese youngster qualified in first place, beating ze rest of ze ladies by 9 points. Ze truckdriver on ze box, backflips, tailwhips, and barspins to X-up were performed way too good for a girl
February 2024 and the first UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup is happening this upcoming weekend in Enoshima, Japan. It will be a long trek to the land of the rising sun for the first round of 2024 with two other stops on the calendar for this year being Montpellier, France in May and Shanghai, China in October. With this being an Olympic year there are two more key events on the schedule before the Games take place in Paris this summer. The Olympic Qualifier Series will determine 6 of the 12 riders in each gender who will get a ticket to the Place de La Concorde in July. Add the UCI World Championships to the list (Abu Dhabi - December) and it's going to be a full season being a high level Park rider.
The three UCI World Cups this year will have Flatland as well. It was time they had a full World Cup
The standings going into the last round of the 2022 UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup for Women Park was close. Chinese athletes left a strong impression at the last stop in Australia and are showing they mean business in the years to come. In the end it was Hannah Roberts who scored most points overall for the season to become the 2022 UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup Park champion. Second went to Nikita Ducarroz (SUI) and third place overall was for Charlotte Worthington who had to sit out the last World Cup final after a warm-up crash left her sidelined. Question of the day was if the Chinese ladies will continue to improve on their level. If they do, the 2023 UCI BMX Freestyle Park overall ranking will look a whole lot different. The challenge is on, and that's a good thing. Progression needs to be made. Riding needs to be pushed. There is never a stale moment in BMX Freestyle.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) must announce that the opening round of the 2022 UCI BMX Freestyle Park and Flatland World Cup which should have taken place from 25 to 27 March in Hiroshima, Japan, has had to be cancelled at the request of the organisers and the Hurricane Group – the UCI’s partner for BMX Freestyle – following restrictions imposed by the country’s government. The UCI would like to thank the event’s organisers for their cooperation in this difficult situation, as well as the athletes, National Federations and all concerned parties for their understanding.
Updated calendar for the 2022 UCI BMX Freestyle Park and Flatland World Cup:
UCI decisions concerning cycling disciplines, other than road, faced with the coronavirus. Fourty-eight hours after announcing the main principles that will shape the revision of the UCI International Road Calendar in view of the resumption of the 2020 season in the context of the coronavirus, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) today announces the framework for the other disciplines. Faced with the continued spread of the virus, notably in Europe, and in the context of restrictive measures adopted by a number of countries banning gatherings and movement of people, the UCI underlines that as world cycling’s governing body, it puts absolute priority on the security of athletes and all people present at events on the UCI International Calendar.
