Action Sports with Leigh Roche

Right before the Christmas holiday, Dec 18-20,  the final event in the FISE (Festival International Sports Extrème) tour for 2014 was held in Langkawi, Malaysia to decide the FISE World Series Champ in BMX Freestyle, Roller, and Skateboarding. The First FISE World Series champion title in BMX freestyle went to Daniel Dhers (VEN). Dhers had competed in each FISE contest all year, finishing second in Montpellier, first place in Andorra, second place in Chengdu, China, and fourth in the Malaysia contest. His consistency throughout the series helped to put him in the top spot at the year end. Julien Bechet took the title in skateboarding and Stephane Alfano won the roller/inline  title.
