With Simple Session about a month away, we’re getting a preview of what the course is expected to look like in this rendering design by Nate Wessel. It’s a little hard to gauge just how gnarly a few of the ramps are, but it does seem to be a little more tame than previous years. We’ll just have to wait and see when the final course is built and ready go to.

ABQ DNV – Denver Snow Bike Session
The ABQ DNV crew hit us with a link to a video from a snow bike session they caught in Denver. The actual title of this is “Wyatt _______”, in tribute to the random that decided he wanted to get in on the fun. After we see Wyatt wreck himself, we get a look at some of the snow bike riding that the rest of the crew got in. This looks like it was a damn good time (for everyone but Wyatt). Hit play and check it out!
“Denver got a bunch of snow so Dustin Arp, Rob DiQuattro, Danny Camacho, Kenjoe, Mowgli Fillmore and I took the snowbike to the sled hill. Young “Wyatt _______” was not shy, liked what we were doing, and came over to join the session. “Wyatt _______” turned up the heat when he brought his boogie board out and ended up in the hospital. “Wyatt _______” was a cool dude and we hope he is ok. If you know “Wyatt _______” please tag him!!”

Volume Bikes – Boyd Hilder Welcome Video
The other day Volume Bikes posted up a preview photo of a bike of their newest pro team addition. It was the first time in a long time we didn’t really have a decent idea of just who that addition was. Well, today we found out that it was the one and only Boyd Hilder! Boyd has been on it for quite a while now and it’s safe to say this was a well deserved opportunity. Check out his official welcome video above that’s packed full of grinds, nose balance, freecoaster action and more from street spots to skateparks to bring the news. After you watch the video, you can get a closer look at his fresh new setup right here!
“Volume proudly welcomes Australian powerhouse, Boyd Hilder to the team. As you can see by the video, Boyd is one of the most diverse riders out there, and made the decision to get him on Volume that much easier. More to come soon…

Yatetape – Park Mix
The Yatetape crew headed to their local skatepark to spend some time putting the ramps, rails and ledges to good use. Check out this mix of footage from each of their guys putting in some time stacking clips. Real solid from start to finish.
Par BMX – Janis Bauska “Primal Instincts”
Par BMX just hit us with a link to their latest BMX video that features Janis Bauska putting in work at the MonsterPark skatepark. In a world of riders who are consistently doing a lot of the same things, it’s good to see riders that like the mix in their own flavor of riding. Janis is one of those guys that adds a little spice to his riding with some interesting combos, a few unique uses of the pick up barspin and one of the few guys to see somebody mix a caveman with a bike flip. Take a look, you won’t be disappointed.
“Janis rides in a way like no other. Seems like most of his stuff is done while goofing around yet it is some incredible riding. It’s hard to imagine what goes on in his head while he’s on that bike, but we’ve tried so in this short indoor video. Primal instincts of Janis Bauska.
