The second spot went to Lukas Žukauskas - the guy that can be seen riding daily, working on the craziest tech lines you could imagine. The third went to Grigas Dobrovolskas, a lot of smooth lines came from this guy too. It is the first time going to Simple Session for both of the guys and the excitement is high.
