Simple Summer Session 2017 Highlights

August 30, 2017

This past weekend was the Simple Summer Session over in Estonia. A bunch of riders from around the world turned out fro the Park and Street contests and the crew from Freedom BMX were there to take it all in. Below you can check out a ton of highlights from the contest. Plenty of crazy riding, and it looks like everyone had a real good time! Check it!

“The organizers of the Simple Summer Session 2017 in Riga made a very special location for their contest: the square in front of the Freedom Monument in the center of the Latvian capital. This is almost as if in Germany a BMX competition held in front of the Brandenburg Gate. After all, this 42-meter-high monument is the most historic square in the country. As a simple session, a bunch of well-known drivers came to Latvia, including Alex Donnachie, Kostya Andreev and Daniel Dhers, as well as a German delegation consisting of Daniel Tünte, Leon Hoppe, Moritz Nußbaumer and Felix Prangenberg. Unfortunately, the latter could not go with the contest, because he had twisted the knee shortly before arrival. Fortunately, the injury is half as wild, Felix ‘ribbons are definitely still intact, so he will soon sit back in the saddle. Until then, we wish him a good recovery! Even without the participation of the freedombmx Streetfahrer of the year 2016 went it during the contest well to the point. Here is our video with the highlights of the day.

Scotty Cranmer – BMX VS Couch

August 30, 2017

Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy and Cory Berglar are back with another creative setup build that most people probably wouldn’t consider riding. They decided to convert an old couch into a riding spot with a few ledges and more. Here’s a video showing how they built it, along with plenty of riding clips. Check out what went down.

“We took my parents old couch and decided to have some fun with it before we threw it in the dumpster! We decided to turn the couch into a ramp for our BMX bikes by taking a trip to the hardware store and buying material to be able to grind it! After we put it together we were surprised just how awesome it was! Cory and big boy we both did some amazing tricks on it including barspins and tail whips! Both the guys had a couple crashes but they both learned new tricks as well! At the end of the session we broke the couch down and decided it was time to throw it away for good! It just goes to show just how much fun BMX is!” – Scotty Cranmer
