Simple Session 21 Trailer

Leave a Comment

Simple Session has just announced that they will be doing Simple Session 21 this August over in Tallinn, Estonia! Due to COVID, we didn’t get the annual contest that goes down in February, but with the brighter outlook thanks to vaccinations and everything, it looks like they will be able to do an even in August! This will be a smaller, invite only event, but we can imagine it will still be a banger! Check out the trailer up top, then full details down below!

“Simple Session will heat up the Estonian summer this August.

Simple Session 21 will be back in Tallinn, Estonia, on August 20th and 21st for a two-day festival and an all-around good time. The Simple Session series will host an exciting street-focused contest in the hip new Põhjala area – an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub will serve as a thrilling new location for the event.

A tight selection of the finest BMX street riders and skateboarders from around the world will be invited to go head to head on a fresh Wessel-designed course.

Skateboarding and BMX are all about creativity. So is Simple Session – hosting the series in a whole new venue will take the entire contest experience to another level for athletes and viewers alike. The global health crisis has created obstacles and prevented us from hosting the annual wintertime event, but has, on the sunny side, prompted us to regroup and innovate the series, and we are delighted with the result.

The event celebrates the Estonian Restoration of Independence on the 20th of August, kicking off a long weekend of the best riding and Simple Session antics on and off the course. We are incredibly excited to host riders in the stunning Estonian summer after most athletes have experienced Estonia only in the cold winter months. It’s been 12 years since Tallinn last hosted a Simple Session summertime edition – that’s about to change.

Considering the pandemic, we will be taking health and safety measures very seriously to ensure our athletes, guests, spectators, and team’s safety and well-being.

This will be a boutique event with only a limited number of tickets coming on sale in May on the Simple Session’s website https://simple.session.ee​.

Having started as just a local jam, Simple Session has become one of the world’s premier BMX and skateboarding contests. Since day one, the goal has been to create a unique experience for the spectators and athletes alike and become the ultimate rider’s event. Over the years, Simple Session has hosted most of the top BMXers and skateboarders and is now proud to stand out as the most free-spirited BMX and skateboarding events out there, as well as one of the longest standing contests in Europe. The series celebrated its 20th-anniversary last winter.

Simple Session 21 is presented by Doritos and sponsored by Red Bull, LHV, Kunstform, New Era, Heimon Gourmet, Visit Estonia, Metsä Wood, Athlon app, Estonian Ministry of Culture, Tallinn City, Telia, and Inspira channel.”

Simple Session “Life Is Just A Ride” Documentary

Leave a Comment

The Simple Session “Life Is Just A Ride” documentary is now online! This documentary follows Reed Stark, Madars Apse, and Risto Kalmre with 3 different perspectives on the event from the Pro riders to running the show. Typically during Simple Session we see dozens of videos with most focused on the riding, but this gives more of an in-depth behind the scenes look that is interesting to see. It also gives us a look at the history of the event from its inception to the massive event it has become with riders coming from all over the world to participate. Hit play and take it all in! Hopefully once things start going back to normal, this event can get back on track!

“ONLINE PREMIERE of the Simple Session themed lifestyle documentary by Maria Reinup and crew!
⁣
“Life is Just a Ride” is a documentary that brings the positive mindset of three different characters during Simple Session, one of the biggest and longest-running action sports events in the world, to the big screen. Reed Stark is a world-renowned BMX rider from the United States. Madars Apse is one of the best European skateboarders, whose professional career began at Simple Session. Risto Kalmre is one of the masterminds behind the event that came to life from a pile of dirt 20 years ago in a small Northern European country, Estonia. The movie also features Bam Margera, Darryl Nau and many other well-known people in the scene. “Life is Just a Ride” is a thought-provoking and uplifting movie that works as an antidote to a bad mood, poor weather, or when the ju-ju is just not working for you.

“Life Is Just a Ride” was first screened at the 20th edition of the annual Simple Session last February for a sold out venue of 500 where it received standing/cheering ovations from the fans. It was followed by a successful festival premiere at the Tallinn Black Night’s Film Festival, where the uplifting documentary was well received by the younger audience in the Just Film youth programme.
