Those auto-players are annoying so we posted them on a second page. Videos are good though.
The 2009 Simpel Session was a good one. The riders that turned up made a good show, the crowd was on fire and the City of Tallinn parties all night long. The 09 course had loads of flatbanks and rails which gave the riders something to work with, at least if you were into these type of obstacles.

British born Ben Hennon makes the step up from the local UK team to join the ranks of the Vans European BMX team. Ben showed his skills not only on the recent Off the Wall UK BMX tour and obviously caught the eye of TM Andy Zeiss: “I know Ben for a long time and it came to a point where it wasn’t a question anymore if he could step up his career at Vans. I am stoked to have him on the EMEA team now.” Best known as a park rider, Ben has been progressing his talent on all terrain and is now as at home on the street as he is on dirt jumps. Renowned for the biggest airs known to man Ben is a rider that pushes hard from the moment he steps on the bike. Sponsors: Vans, Eastpak, King Kong, Mpora,

In the end 81 riders entered the competition in Tallinn. Last minute drop outs were Edwin Delarosa (fell alseep in the hotel), Mike Miller (hurt) and Nigel Sylvester (missed his flight).

Only 20 riders moved on to the finals and we've got some photos right here of riders who did not make it into that elite group. Lots of killer riders did not makethe finlas but a lot of good riders did. Check it live. 
Right after practice at the Simpel Session Vans called their riders and some friends for a little get together in the Hell Hunt which is located in Tallin's beautiful Old Town. After a few of the local Saku's things started to take off. The gathering was used to catch up with everyone and some couldn't help but take it on the business side and actually discussed the shoes! Coach was representing the "Westside" and it didn't take long before he had a following. Some more sign language lessons need to follow though because not everyone had that down yet.
