Since the start of the season, Hurricane Group has been motived to reconnect with FISE's initial mission of bringing together riders and fans to celebrate action sports and the values ​​that unite them. FISE Montpellier was intended as a real urban sports party where everyone is invited, from Amateurs to Pros, and including the many spectators that make the atmosphere at this iconic festival so special. With the current sanitary situation and many restrictions, which would drastically limit the number of people able to attend the event, it is no longer possible to meet our ambitions for the festival. Without the crowds of enthusiasts and international riders , no format envisaged can recreate what has ensured the success of FISE Montpellier since 1997.

Faced with this, the organization is forced to cancel the September edition of FISE Montpellier 2021.
