A quick look at the craziest tricks that went down at FISE: Hiroshima featuring Kevin Peraza, Kenneth Tencio, Jake Wallwork, Justin Dowell, Daniel Dhers, Rim Nakamura, Marin Rantes, Daniel Wedemeijer, and more!
We’re delighted to be landing in Japan just in time to catch the cherry blossom season. Hiroshima looks magical and the historic location of the event makes this FISE stop feel extra special. We kicked off with the Women’s UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup Semi Final. Riders have 2 runs of 60 seconds to wow the judges but it's only the best run that counts. With BMX Freestyle Park being added as a competition in 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, riders are trying to push forward and progress their sport more than ever and some of the riding was insane. The line-up for the women’s event was amazing with riders representing from all over the world, but no one could stop last year’s winner 16-year-old Hannah Roberts taking first place. Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 11.10 to see if anyone can stop Hannah adding another gold medal to her growing collection.
UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup Semi Final Women:
1 - Hannah Roberts - USA - 73.80 PTS
2 - Lara Lessmann - Germany - 70.00 PTS
3 - Nikita Ducarroz - Switzerland - 68.60 PTS
Due to yesterdays weather preventing qualification, today was a massive semi-final for the Men’s UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup with almost 90 riders trying to take one of the 12 places in the final tomorrow. The Freestyle Park for this stop is not a conventional FISE park as it has no box jump
After a rainy day on Friday the UCI BMX Park World Cup continued on Saturday. The Elite Men class turned into a semi-final with 78 riders. The cut to 12 riders for Sunday's final was touch but these are the results. Make sure to tune in on Sunday to watch the finals live. Hiroshima is 7 hours ahead of Central European Time so keep that in mind. Find the Live Feed on FATBMX.
