The Freeride Mountain Bike Association (FMBA) has just successfully finished its second season and is already in full preparation for 2012. For next year, the league founded in 2010 will continue pursuing the goal of gathering the finest riders at the prime spots for the best events under the roof of the FMB World Tour. Almost all existing FMB World Tour events of 2011 will also be part of the tour in 2012. At the same time, the FMBA is open to new events, which will allow freeriding to establish itself further on the blanks of the global mountain biking map.

Freeriding Mountain Bike Association

The third FMBA season starts in spring 2012. The World Tour has already called such high caliber events as the Red Bull Rampage or the Red Bull District Ride; events that received massive media attention. Until the new season, the FMBA is looking forward to new applicants in the fields of dirt jump, slopestyle and big mountain, in order to create a diverse event calendar 2012. The FMBA is open for established giants as well as complete event-world novelties - applications are welcome!

In the upcoming tour 2012, there will once again be four different categories. Depending on the quality of the event, the ratings of Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond are to be awarded. The categorization of an event follows objective and comprehensive criteria such as course requirements, quality of rider’s line up, prize money, media output and overall professionalism. More detailed information can be found www.fmbworldtour.com/en/events.html

The FMBA is inviting all interested applicants to send in their applications until January 16th 2012. All required documents can be downloaded on: www.fmbworldtour.com/en/events.html

The events will be evaluated on the basis of the application. The general set-up, quality and relevance of the potential event will be compared to the respective requirements of the categories. Accepted competitions will be included in the event calendar.

The FMBA is looking forward to a well-varied FMB World Tour season 2012, also featuring a couple of surprises in the event schedule. More info to come soon…

 Haha dam thats old school, love it. But I think the level of mountain biking then compared to where mountain biking is today, people would not be able to push them selves at 26 trails nor would people be as entertained as something such as rampage. Still would be cool as a retro event, pay respect to where we came from.
