Our friend Marie Meuret from Flatland BMX Girls is running a great page featuring female flatland riders from all over the world and she sent us some information on a 15-year-old that’ll be heading to Worlds. Check out Mélissa Droll!
Mélissa is now on her way to the World Championship in Abu Dhabi after taking 2nd place at the French Championship in France this month. Mélissa is a student at the FiseFlatAcademy based near Montpellier and is coached by Alex Jumelin. Mélissa has everything it takes to become a high-level rider. Mélissa is a dedicated flatlander, mixing a touch of street to her original riding.
