Perspective on the Future of BMX Contests and Nitro World Games

December 9, 2015

Generally, we try and stay away from heavily opinionated posts on the site, since we feel our opinion is just one voice of many, many BMX riders around the world and everyone has a different perspective on this sport of ours. But, today we are seeing a lot of discussion about the future of BMX contests after seeing the plan for the Nitro World Games, which is ultimately looking for a new way to expose BMX, moto-x, skateboarding and a few other action sports to the masses in hopes of pumping the industries full of energy and revived life that many feel is struggling to get the attention of the masses anymore. So, we’re going to toss out our perspective and then we’re hoping to get a lot of discussion going in the comments whether it be here, Facebook or really anywhere we can get riders to discuss their ideas or dreams of where to take this thing we call BMX next.

Simple Session 2016 Back To Saku Suurhall

November 18, 2015

There have been some rumors floating around the past few weeks about the future of Simple Session and if it was actually happening again. We’ve heard it wasn’t happening, we heard it was, we heard it was going to be at the new Simple Session facility they’re currently building and more. Although we haven’t heard anything definite as far as what the plan is for Simple Session 16, they did release this little teaser on Instagram today with the caption “@simplesession back to Saku #simplesession16 #teaser”, which we would assume means that one of BMX’s biggest contests is going down at the Saku Suurhall in Estonia once again. We’ll keep you posted when we get more information…

BMX needs more contests like this… It would have been such a bummer if it wasn’t going to happen again. Keep this fire burning.
