Become a FWT rider

The FWT Sport Pyramid is thoughtfully designed to provide equal opportunities for all riders, irrespective of their gender or discipline. This means that every rider, regardless of their background or specialization, has a fair chance to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level.

Whether you're a seasoned rider looking for the ultimate challenge or a newcomer eager to make your mark in the world of freeriding, the FWT Qualifier and Junior competitions offer a diverse range of events that are accessible to riders of all levels. These competitions serve as the perfect platform for riders who are just starting their competitive freeriding journey.

In order to compete, you need to become a member, create your member profile, and purchase your annual license. Every rider, including wildcards, must acquire a license to compete.

If a rider competes without a license, they cannot claim the points earned at the competition, even if they obtain membership after the competition.

When signing up, please use your real name without nicknames, as it is necessary for insurance purposes (although having a nickname is mandatory to build yourself a legend). With this membership, we offer the following services:

• Automated registration platform for all events
• Rider's results in the seeding and ranking list
• A rider profile on the FWT website (which is damn sexy)
• Rider assistance
• A unique number per athlete to avoid spelling mistakes on start lists and rankings

If you wish to compete only once, you can obtain a one-event license. If you plan to compete in two or more events, you can get a tour license that is valid for the entire season.

For 1* events, registration is on a first-come, first-confirmed basis, and riders with no points are eligible.

For 2* to 4* events, a seeding list is used to confirm riders. Since competition spots are limited, the seeding list determines which athletes among all the registered athletes are invited to a competition.

The seeding list is based on a rider's best three results over the past 52 weeks. Riders who have not competed before or who have a low ranking on the seeding list may not be able to participate in 3* and 4* events. They will need to start collecting points in lower-level events (1* and 2*) to move up on the seeding list.
