Simple Session 20 – BMX Best Trick

February 6, 2020

Simple Session‘s 20th anniversary kicked off today with the BMX best trick contest! This year they decided to do the best trick contest on a little plaza setup outside of the arena for people to check out. This one was geared toward the street guys and it looks like things are already heating up for the weekend. Above is a short and sweet highlight video, and down below you can check out the full jam. We’ve set the video to start when the BMX portion started since skate took up the first 2 and a half hours of the video. Either way, you can check out everything that went down, and expect to see plenty more from Tallinn, Estonia this weekend! What did you think of this? Would you have rather they did best trick on the actual contest course like they did in the past? Seemed like this one was less eventful than past best trick contests at Simple Session.

“Best Trick got a lil’ shake up this year at Simple Session 20, this time going down on the Thursday night at a different location, on a setup all of its own. Watch AK, Joris Coulomb, Broc Raiford, Devon Smillie and more battle it out over 30 minutes. Keep your eyes on DIG this weekend for all the highlights.” – DIG

“Before the actual event kicks off, Simple Session hosted a best trick jam for the street dudes at a separate spot. 30 minutes, best trick counts. Congrats to AK on the win!” – Our BMX

“SIMPLE SESSION – 20 years of mad action!

Kick off the crazy 20s and celebrate two decades of Simple Sessions with a weekend of wild riding and afterparties in the wintery Tallinn, Estonia.

You are cordially invited to join Simple Session’s 20th-anniversary celebrations! We could not have come this far without all of You, dear riders, fans, friends, and supporters!

SIMPLE SESSION 20 Year Anniversary

Ash Jenkins & Joe Tricker – 25 Hundred Miles

February 6, 2020

You can’t go wrong with a good old fashioned BMX road trip. Ash Jenkins and Joe Tricker loaded up in their van and clocked some heavy miles while out cruising around Europe hitting spots all along the way over the course of a month. During their trip, they stacked a bunch of clips for this BMX video giving you a taste of what they got into during their time on the road. It’s safe to say this was a real good time!

“We decided to travel round Europe in a van, we picked a few cities that we knew we wanted to hit up, and the rest fell into place as we went along. It was a month filled with exploring, riding, photography and great memories.” – Joe Tricker

Monster Army – Enlisted: Brendan Powell

February 6, 2020

It’s always crazy coming across a video of a rider that is reaaaaally good, but you haven’t heard of them or barely have seen their name pop up in the past. Brendan Powell is one of those riders. We’ve seen Brendan’s name pop up once when he was on Kevin Peraza‘s team for the Mongoose Jam in 2018 at Woodward East, otherwise, we haven’t seen much about this guy. After hitting play on this new Monster Army video, we were immediately surprised that we haven’t. Brendan is a tailwhip and barspin machine, and he’s not scared to go upside down either. Although we’re sure Brendan’s style of riding isn’t for everyone, there’s some real impressive clips in this that you won’t want to miss. Hit play and check it out!

“Brendan Powell is a bada** bmx rider that’s been hiding out in Utah. We’ve enlisted this recruit to put down some bangers for you and we’re excited to introduce him to you. Watch the chaos now!” – Monster Army

Vans Presents “GREY”

February 5, 2020

The Vans team make their way into The Grey.

When you take the Vans team anywhere, you know they’re going to absolutely crush everything in sight. Here’s their new “GREY” video that features Dennis Enarson, Bruno Hoffmann, Alex Donnachie, Simone Barraco, Dan Lacey, Anthony Perrin, and Lewis Mills getting loose down in Lima, Peru in South America! Obviously this a list of heavy hitters, and we really haven’t seen too many BMX videos out of Peru, so the spots are pretty untapped. Add in Rich Forne behind the lens and you have a combination that makes for an absolute MUST SEE BMX VIDEO. Strap on the breathing mask and hit play!

“Welcome to Lima, Peru’s capital city.
Dubbed “The Grey” by the locals because of its misty weather conditions, Lima is a vibrant maze of immaculate street spots.
Follow an all-star crew on a street mission through the city’s finest spots, featuring Dennis Enarson, Bruno Hoffman, Alex Donnachie, Simone Barraco, Dan Lacey, Anthony Perrin, and Lewis Mills.

Odyssey – Grandstand V2 Pedals

February 5, 2020

Is it time for a fresh set of BMX Pedals? The crew at Odyssey have released their Grandstand V2 pedals for you to check out. These pedals look a lot like the popular V1, but the internals have been upgraded to reduce axial movement (wobble) that can develop over time. The pedals are available in a plastic version and an alloy version keeping the slim body with a dual concave design with plenty of contact surface and 8 oversized pins per side to give you grip. Inside you can find a proprietary 14mm heat-treated chromoly spindle with 17mm wrench flats and a 6mm broach.
