We arrived in Tallinn, Estonia for the Pop Session and am enjoying the free wireless internet connection of the Olympia hotel to bring you the first update. Lots of riders arrived but some are still missing bikes (Josh Harrington, Anthony Pill, Ben Hennon and Ben Manuel). They were not on the course today for the first practice session. The course is looking different and with 60 guys on the course it was hard to find the right lines. Basically, it was impossible to ride the course and riders stuck to doing tricks on certain obstacles and sessioned those. Who's here you wonder?
Nyquist, Gary Young, Jim Cielencki, Tobi Wicke, Sergei Geyer, Shenker, Grosic, Nielswheels, a bunch of English riders (
Forte brothers, Elkington, Fenlon, Mahoney, Shaw, Tabron) and a whole lot more.
Prelims for both vert and street are tomorrow. Follow the action on FATBMX.com or go to www.session.ee for live footage of the contest.
