We don't need to remind you just how important this event is to riders who we be competing not only for victory at Montpellier, but also battling for points towards Olympic qualification.
BMX Street: This year we are introducing a brand new concept for the Street Park, which for the first time will be made of concrete. The BMX Street competitions will take place here and we're excited to see what affect this revamp will have on the riders that attend and the style of runs we will see. An extra bonus is that the park is fully recyclable, concrete surfaces will be collected by a waste treatment company for use in other construction projects.
BMX Dirt: BMX Dirt is back! The competitions will take place in a new zone beyond the traditional one on the banks of the Lez. The new area is situated on a 12-hectare site in Pérols (before it becomes the Ode à la Mer urban district) and has been made available by the Montpellier Métropole (via SAAM) and the Frey Group. There will be two massive nighttime events on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th May, where BMX Dirt will combine with live DJs for one hell of a show.
