Dave Mirra’s take on the 2007 FISE in France
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007
The fise contest this year was amazing. Not only was the riding just ridiculous but the crowd was the enormous. The event was held on the water while all the people sat on the river banks that were like 25 ft. tall overlooking the ramps. Did I mention there were thousands of screaming fans?
Words can’t really explain the energy in Montpellier this weekend. Every event was slammed packed with fans and the level of riding just blew my mind. Mark Webb, Ben Wallace, Daniel Dhers, Ben Hennon, Mike Spinner, Mike Miller, Mike Laird, Alessandro, and many more were the stars of the show.
Sometimes too much traveling can really burn you out and before I got to France I was like man if I could stay home this weekend I’d be psyched. Well, in the end I am so glad I got to witness what went down at Fise 07 and the crowd was just unbelievable. The support for bmx was amazing. Looking back, I wouldn’t miss it for anything and I recommend making it to France in ‘08.![]()
Peace.
