Freestyle Now squad member David Pinelli recently went over to France to compete in the FISE contest held in Montpellier. David totally shreds on his bike and he is forever expanding his insane trick base. David sent in a few photos and words about his trip, read on.
“Hey guys, Just thought I would check in and let you know what I’ve been up to an all that jazz. Well on the 29th of April I left Perth and headed to Melbourne to stay for a week with one of my close friends. I rode Rampfest pretty much every day with Shannon and Todd Meyn and had such a good time. Then on the 5th of May I headed off to Montpellier in France for the FISE contest with another 3 of my mates. It was a Lonnnnnnng trip but definitely worth it. Such a nice, chilled out place (until bmx park finals that is). I got to ride the park course for 3 or 4 days before the contest began so it was sweet just hanging out and riding. Even in qualifying the crowds were ridiculous. I couldn’t land my last trick to pedals (no foot can can back flip) which I was pretty bummed about but ohh well. I placed 27th out of like 54 riders in the pro class, which even though I wasn’t that happy with my run or my last trick, I’m super stoked about. Just to be there riding with everyone was so sick. The after parties every night were just so ridiculous also haha. Met some of the coolest people that I hope to be friends with for life, had a sweet as trip with some crazy experiences. I really hope to be going back next year. Thanks everyone for the amazing time!! Love bmx.”
From the above photo’s you know David had a blast. Check out the video with his contest run at the 50 minute mark. The contest looked insane.
