FMB World Tour 2021: Events & Licenses
February 17, 2021It’s time to wake up from the off-season slumber! Even though 2020 wasn’t everything that we hoped it would be, the Red Bull Rookie of the Year Award capped off another FMB World Tour season with a bit of a highlight, and we’re working on making 2021 as smooth as possible, which means that Event Applications are now open and riders can register for their 2021 License.
You can’t change what you can’t change so we are looking ahead, in good faith that there will be a 2021 season happening, with great riding from great athletes at great events.
After a one-year hiatus, the FMB World Tour platform is still standing, representing the one and only global stage of professional Freeride Mountain Biking with its athletes and events. Let’s bring back Freeride Mountain Biking to the World!

Collectively, we can continue growing the sport and reaching more riders and fans.
