Artem Agarkov – First Time at Simple Session

June 14, 2016

There’s no denying that Simple Session in Tallinn, Estonia is one of the biggest BMX events of the year that riders from all around the world look forward to. Thanks to how much the event has grown in the past 16 years, it’s definitely a destination that most riders dream of making it to. Artem Agarkov had the chance to go to Estonia from Russia for the contest this year for the first time. Above is a video where he talks about his time in Tallinn and how crazy the experience was for him. Despite things not quite going as planned, it looks like it was still a good time!

“Simple Session happened about a month ago, but our memories and impressions are fresh in our minds, like we just witnessed this international event yesterday. Artem Agarkov will tell us in this interview (Вмхашка translated it into English) whats it’s like to be at an event that big, and to compete against some of the best riders in the world.

Eclat – Bruno Hoffmann Predator Tire Promo

June 14, 2016

It’s always a good day when a fresh Bruno Hoffmann BMX video surfaces online! Eclat just released this new promo video featuring Bruno putting his signature Predator Tires to good use! Amazing spots along with plenty of grinds and freecoaster action. Bruno brings the heat once again. Hit play and enjoy, then learn all about the tires right here!

“When Bruno Hoffmann came to us with an idea for a tire, we knew this was going to be one tough set of rubber built for the streets.

The ‘Predator Tire’ was build from Bruno’s need for a super tough, dependable tire that not only gripped like nothing else, but was also strong enough on the sidewalls to last heavy flat ledge sessions and resist the trauma that his blend of technical and burly riding can cause to a tire.

Constructed using the finest quality materials possible, the Predator Tire will be available in Bruno’s preferred size of 2.30” (58mm), which is what he considers “the perfect size” for street riding.

Available now worldwide in Black and Desert Tan, with more colours coming later this Summer…

Filmed by Felix Lukas.”
