Now how much are you looking forward to the Simpel Session event?
-It is the second time this time. It was very interesting last time. Therefore, I was anxious for one year. I've been thinking about things that are possible to get on in that wonderful park.

Does your bike have some new sponsor stickers for 2011 that you want to show off in Tallinn?
-We wish to express our gratitude to all sponsors but there are no new sponsors. I think that I wouldn't be able to participate in this event if I had no sponsors.

What was your first impression when you saw the 3D drawings

of the Simpel Session course for 2011?
-First of all, I got excited by the big red jumping area. I think that it was a wonderful technology. This quality is my really enjoyment though I also have built the park by myself.

When are you getting there?
-I arrive on Wednesday, February 2.

Are you spending some extra time in Tallinn? and if so, what have you planned on doing besides riding the contest?
-When going for the first time last year, quite a lot of snow was there. I want to see the snow again. And, the thing to see are the old local buildings. And, I want to go to a local supermarket and meet a local thing and the person.

Who are you looking forward to see at the event?
-Everybody. Especially, the rider who has the same sponsor is anxious.

Will you be nervous when you drop in for your run in front of a few thousand screaming girls?
-Oh.............nice!!!!!!!!

Are you ready for the after-parties?
-Let's enjoy it.

If the right obstacle is there, what trick are you going to try for the first time in a contest?
-It becomes calm and I want surely to try. However, I don't understand if not becoming a real thing.
