Tickets out for Shanghai leg of global extreme sports gala

Andre-Benoit said this year's event will feature a comprehensive upgrade with six major categories and 13 competitions. The popular "Spine Ramp Carnival Race", originally from FISE's home base in Montpellier, France, will make its debut outside Europe at the Shanghai stop.

Four disciplines — BMX freestyle, extreme roller freestyle, extreme scootering and skateboarding — will showcase high-difficulty performances on the spine ramps. In addition, the newly introduced Climbing Open will go beyond the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) standards with unique route and hold designs.
