Courage Adams, 17, currently lives in Pamplona (Spain). When he makes it over to Tallinn for the Simple Session he'll be freezing his ass off. But luckily the temperature inside the Saku Suurhal is nice. It's the first time for the Flybikes rider to enter the SS comp. Courage is also sponsored by Cromolybmx (distributor shop), POCsports, and MarieJadecrew. Get ready for the nose wheely.
