BMX Freestyle Show in Canazei at the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series

Canazei.

Val di Fassa.

Mountains that look like natural theatre backdrops.

When you talk about the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, you are talking about the highest level of mountain biking in the world. International athletes, official teams and media from all over Europe.

And it was right here, at the opening of the Canazei round, that we brought our BMX freestyle show.

Everything seemed perfect.

Until the sky decided to change the plan.

Opening of the UCI race: adrenaline before the competition

The atmosphere was electric. The crowd was gathering in the event area. Professional riders were preparing for the race. The structures were ready.

Our BMX freestyle show was meant to ignite the atmosphere before the official races.

Music ready.

Speaker fired up.

Ramps built and tested.

Then suddenly the sky closed.

The storm that stopped everything

In the mountains the weather does not warn you.

Within minutes heavy rain started falling. Then hail. The kind that bounces on the ground and turns the event area into a slippery surface.

For a moment everything stopped.

Spectators under shelters.

Staff looking at each other.

The program suddenly uncertain.

Storms like that are rare even in Canazei.

But a professional show is not measured when everything goes smoothly.

It is measured when things go wrong.

Dry, check, restart

As soon as the rain started slowing down, the real work began.

Drying the structures.

Checking the surfaces.

Inspecting the ramps.

Running safety tests.

Every detail was carefully checked again. At an international event like the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, there is no room for improvisation.

The team worked with full focus. The speaker kept the crowd engaged, explaining what was happening and building anticipation for the show to return.

Then the sky opened again.

The moment everything restarted

When the clouds finally cleared, the atmosphere felt different.

Cooler. Charged.

The crowd quickly gathered again around the show area. After the storm, people were craving adrenaline.

The first jump was almost symbolic.

Controlled speed.

Strong takeoff.

Clean landing.

Instant applause.

From that moment on, the BMX freestyle show in Canazei became a crescendo.

Fast lines on the ramps, now perfectly dried. Trick combinations. Long manuals. Big jumps with the Dolomites as a backdrop.

After testing the show, the mountains seemed to amplify it.

BMX freestyle in the heart of Val di Fassa

There is something unique about bringing freestyle riding into the mountains.

The contrast between the urban discipline of BMX and the natural scenery of the Dolomites creates an incredible visual impact.

During the opening of the Canazei round of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, the show was more than entertainment.

It became:

• a moment of energy before the race

• a gathering point for the international crowd

• spectacular content for photos and videos

• a sign of resilience after the storm

The difficult weather made the show even more memorable.

When resilience becomes part of the show

Many will remember that day for the sudden rain and hail.

But those who were there will remember something else.

The show still happened.

And not only did it happen.

It became one of the most exciting moments of the opening.

In a prestigious event like the UCI Mountain Bike World Series, delivering a show even in extreme conditions is what separates a professional team from a simple performance.
