Welcome to Urban World Series News of the week February 23, 2024.
Florideah Swampfest 2024 has been insane! Once again, has shown that is one the craziest contests in the planet.
A giant pirate ship, rain, mud, fire, blood, beer, motorcycles, crocodiles and fireworks, all seasoned with insane BMX and Skateboarding riding.
Our friend and ParaBMX pro Julian Molina was there, and of course left his foodprint in this Mad Max version of an urban sports event.
We f*cking love it!
U.S. Scootering athlete Chris Farris announced via instagram that he retires from professional Scootering and will focus on the next chapter of his life:
“I had a wild ride in the competition world but that chapter has come to an end. Most of you only know me as a competitor and I’m excited to show you what I can do in the streets and on screen.
I’m training now to become an electrician, I’m excited and hungry to start something new but these moments will always live in my memory and trust me when I say I have a lot more to offer. But I wont lie, it’s a relief to wake up in the same bed every morning.
You guys are awesome and I love you all. Thank you for following my career and if you choose to stick around for the next chapter.. well.. thank you for that too 
.”
Chris got the 12th place at 2023 Scootering World Championship in UWS MUS & 10TH at 2021 World Champs in Extreme Barcelona 2021, 10th in Extreme Barcelona 2023 final, 12th at EB 2018 final and 1st in FISE 2023.
All the best for you, Chris!
