Since Simple Session has split up their comps in a Park and Street contest there are actually two BMX contests to look forward to. The international Park riders list is promising with current and former X-Games gold medalists, the Vans Pro Cup winner, legends and talents all coming together in Tallinn, Estonia during the first big contest of the year. The event will be broadcasted live so no worries if you can't make it yourself but be sure you're missing out on a loose party weekend if you decide to stay home. The riding will be off the hook with this riders list on the Nate Wessel designed course. 3-5 February 2018. Saku Suurhal, Tallinn, Estonia.

Eclat's Ty Morrow, Bruno Hoffmann, Sean Burns, Dan Coller, and Devon Smillie ascend on the BMX Mecca of Austin, Texas for a week. The Socialites trip was dubbed “an end of the year Eclat vacation” but you wouldn’t know it from the amount of work these guys put in all over Austin and nearby San Antonio.

For the 12th year in a row, we have Mr. Nate Wessel to thank for the glorious course design. Have a look around the park animation – this one is the BOMB! With its richness of street and park elements, the park is envisioned to inspire lines of all styles in both BMX and skateboarding, so expect for some historic action to gown at Simple Session 18!
“The Ramp” finale…finally. Shot in the middle of 2016, various obstacles and periods of nothingness have let this video sleep dormant for far too long. But, I think it shows how timeless The Ramp can be, as the riding from Kevin and Alex still stand up to the level of riding today. I know it’s only been a year and a half, but progression happens fast these days.
Over the course of two years, this story follows two brothers, Marc and Richard Moore during a huge restoration project based in the East Sussex coastal town of Hastings. Their idea was simple, to build the world’s largest underground skate park underneath the promenade of Hastings seafront inside a space that dates back to the 1800′s and has laid derelict for the past eighteen years. This film captures the motivation, the devotion and the true passion that goes into taking on a project of this size and throughout the story, the audience learns that all of these traits come from the brother’s first love – BMX riding.
