As you should know by now, some of the best contest ramp setups and even some parks and places like Woodward are designed by the one and only Nate Wessel. The crew over at Simple Session caught up with Nate to talk about designing the courses and the city of Tallinn, Estonia as a whole in this new video. Take a peek! You better believe Nate is cooking up something awesome for Simple Session 16, too!

Max Gaertig at Mauritius
Watching this quick video from Max Gaertig might leave you wondering just who built this skatepark because it’s hard to imagine it was by somebody that rides or skates, haha. But, once you realize Mauritius is a small island out in the middle of the ocean near South Africa, it makes a little more sense. Watch as Max enjoys his vacation and throws down a few tricks at the park! Can’t ever go wrong with a BMX video from Max Gaertig.
“so looks the perfect vacation? When Max Gaertig was with his girlfriend Nancy to Mauritius, stood side zip Linen over canyons, Safari tours, excursions with pedalos and speedboats and (dolphin) swimming and snorkeling in the Indian Ocean several solo sessions in local concrete parking on the program. Here are a few smartphone clips, he has filmed there.” – Freedom BMX
