Simple Session 21 – Official BMX Highlights

September 1, 2021

The other weekend Simple Session 21 went down over in Tallinn, Estonia. Although it was a smaller venue with invited riders only thanks to COVID restrictions, the contest was a banger for sure! Here’s the official highlight video Simple Session put out with a good look at all the amazing riding that went down during the contest and a few clips from the street jam as well.

“Simple Session 21 was back in Tallinn, Estonia, on August 20–21 with a big summertime festival and an all-around good time. The Simple Session series hosted an exciting street-focused contest in the hip new Põhjala district – an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub served as a thrilling new location for the event. The finest BMX riders from around the world went head to head on a new 800m2 Wessel-designed street course.

Brian Tunney – August 2021 Clips

September 1, 2021

New month, new video from Brian Tunney! It’s September 1st and he has a quick new edit giving us a look at some of the flatland sessions he got in over the course of the month. It looks like this time around he has been putting in a lot of work to dial in his Undertaker to Smith combos. That’s what’s fun about BMX… One day you can barely do a trick, then after a bunch of practice and work it becomes something normal and something you can do a lot more consistently. It looks like Brian figured this one out!

“Towards the end of July, I attempted to randomly do an undertaker to smith simply because I hadn’t done one since last December. It didn’t work out well, and after an hour of trying, I gave up. The following day, I landed two, and thus began my great struggle with undertakers to smith in August of 2021. This combination has been a struggle for me to learn, and eventually, last year, they started coming more regularly. But because I had such a tough time initially landing one, I always treated them as a one and done move. The past four weeks, I attempted to normalize them. And it wasn’t easy.

Each one of these clips represents close to an hour of riding and filming. And even though most of them are ten seconds or less, the headache of landing them was worth it.“
