We've been running into X-mas messages and have yet to create a "Happy Holidays" care of our own. But in the meantime we'll post up the ones we've received and came across. Ours probably won't be as fancy as some, but it's the idea that counts. We made it through 2022 and are glas we could get back to normal life after covid. With some restrictions left and right it was a year full of BMX events back on the calendar and we used every single opportunity to get to them. We covered races from all over the world. We pumped around a bit in circles and had fun at the BMX Freestyle competitions that were back once again. Jams, check. Parties, check. Sessions, check.
We've got 35 years of covering BMX behind us now and are the longest running BMX media around that covers all aspects of BMX. Proud of it? In fact, yes a little. As many have found out, it's not easy to keep things rolling on the daily for that long. 2023 is upon us and we'll keep going, regardless if the money is there. Regardless if BMX business is booming or not (it isn't right now).
Simple Session 23 will be back in Tallinn, Estonia, on August 19–20, with a big summertime festival and an all-around good time!

A hundred of the finest BMX riders and skateboarders worldwide will go head to head on a new 800m2 Wessel-designed course.

Steven Hamilton brings the Christmas cheer to your screen, sit back with a tequila Egg Nog and cut off a hot slice of Big Ham.
ALLDAY BMX Shop and Güdbyek BMX Shop joined forces to put on The ALLGÜD Jam and it was nothing short of a good time. Seems like all a güd jam needs these days is a few ramps, a couple of rails, a solid crew, and a little elbow grease. Also having a giant step up jump is pretty awesome...Hope you enjoy and don't clip the height bar on your way to pressing play.
What. A. Season. The men’s UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup 2022 was nothing but flames. Strap in for 2023, it’s going to be lit.
Pretty simple concept. Spent my 35th birthday filming 35 tricks in a single session. Some new stuff, some old stuff. The goal was to meet the quota and encapsulate how I enjoy riding my BMX bike.

Rooftop sprung into the BMX spot light in 1993 and scored the last part on the game changing VHS dirty deeds, which was the ground breaking video in 94.
