As usual, a lot of work went into this one, it was held @sportzonese A big thank you to everyone who helped, from moving gym floors to standing in the buffet all day. A special thank you to @altonandi who without I would not be hosting any contests. We now do 4 events in one year, it’s a lot. Maybe next year I will rethink a little and do something totally different for a change.
Junior B
We had more kids in junior B than ever before, which was great. Junior B is a category we made to give our very beginners a chance to feel what it is like to compete and give them some motivation to train for something and focus on specific tricks which are basically the very basics of BMX flatland for small kids or any total beginner. Top spot went to a new face not from our club Nagy Gábor which was great! We need more kids not just from our club to ride and come to contests.
Junior
Now with our top junior riders from last year and the year before moving up to amateur men, the junior category became open for any one of the kids to make the podium so it was great to see some new faces standing on the top spots. Kiss-Bősze Andor got his first podium and Gold.
Amateur Women
Monster Energy congratulates 29-year-old Boyd Hilder from Gold Coast, Australia on his incredible victory at Simple Session 2025, where he claimed his third career gold medal in a thrilling final. After overcoming a tough start in the qualifiers, the Australian BMX pro delivered a flawless second run, earning a 94.25 and cementing his reputation as one of the sport’s most versatile and creative riders.
Estonia’s iconic action sports event, Simple Session, will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2025 by returning to Tallinn’s Unibet Arena (formerly Saku Arena) with a grand festival. Simple Session celebrates a quarter-century of mind-blowing riding, unforgettable moments, and a global community of riders pushing the limits.
In a thrilling final, Australian rider Boyd Hilder secured his third gold medal at Simple Session, earning an impressive score of 94.25. He narrowly edged out Great Britain’s Jordan Clark, who finished second with 93.25, while Japan’s Rim Nakamura claimed the bronze with 92.25. Hilder’s path to victory wasn’t easy—after a crash in the qualifiers, he started his final run in 14th place. “I slipped off the pedal in my first run and didn’t want to risk any big tricks after that,” Hilder explained. “So I decided to go all in on my last attempt.” His strategy paid off as he delivered a flawless second run, packed with complex tricks across the entire course. “I always plan my runs carefully and try to utilize every part of the park. The highlight for me was landing the backflip Smith grind.”
BMX head judge David Cleworth credited Hilder’s creativity for his win. “He approached the course in a completely unique way—his tricks were fresh, inventive, and original,” Cleworth remarked. “That backflip Smith grind on an obstacle no one else had touched, the stylish one-handed cannonball, and the toothpick grind up—those were all moves I haven’t seen before. His run felt both strategic and effortless.”
Jordan Clark, competing at Simple Session for the first time, also impressed the judges with his intensity. “Executing a double flare at the 59-second mark after such a demanding run is what secured his second-place finish,” Cleworth noted.
The best BMX athletes put on an impressive display of skill, with 25-year-old British rider Jordan Clark taking the top spot in the qualification round and securing his place in the final. This year’s Simple Session BMX qualifiers saw 52 competitors from 21 countries battling for a spot in the final. The highest score of the round, 84.25 points, was earned by freestyle rider Jordan Clark from Great Britain. Among the participants were four Estonians: Siim Savik, Tauno Krüüts, Kristen Põder, and Roomet Säälik.
Of the Estonian riders, 25-year-old Roomet Säälik achieved the best result, finishing 21st with a score of 62.25 points. Tauno Krüüts placed 42nd with 26.50 points, while 33-year-old Kristen Põder, the oldest competitor, ranked 46th with 20.25 points. Siim Savik followed closely behind in 47th place, scoring 20.00 points. The youngest participant in the competition, 10-year-old Minxu Hu from China, finished in 44th place.
The standout athlete of the qualification round was Jordan Clark, a five-time world champion in scooter freestyle, who impressed the judges with his performance and secured the top score of 84.25 points. Japan’s Rim Nakamura followed in second place with 83.00 points, while British rider Dylan Hessey took third with 77.50 points. A total of 15 competitors earned a spot in Sunday’s final.
Judging Criteria and Course Challenges
Simple Session 25 kicks off with Best trick comp on the Bell and cash for tricks on the Flatrail
On Thursday evening, the 25th anniversary of Simple Session commenced with the highly anticipated Best Trick competition, where athletes displayed their most daring and skillful tricks. A standout feature of the event was a specially designed rideable structure, which will later be relocated to Freedom Square to further enhance Tallinn's extreme sports scene.
Returning to a large-scale venue, this year's Simple Session milestone event unfolded in the historic Krulli repair hall, evoking memories of past competitions held at Põhjala Factory and Tartu Kammivabrik.
In the BMX division, the Best Trick Award went to Sasha Cambon (France) for his abubaca jam tailwhip out, a complex and visually stunning maneuver requiring extreme precision, balance, and swift footwork.
Elite skateboarders and BMX riders also had the opportunity to test their skills on "Kelluke," a new rideable sculpture developed through a collaboration between Simple Session and the City of Tallinn.
“Simple Session is more than just an annual gathering that attracts thousands of fans—it has inspired an entire generation,” stated Tallinn's Mayor Jevgeni Ossinovski, who officially inaugurated the Best Trick competition. He highlighted that the sculpture serves not only as a tribute to Simple Session but also as a valuable addition to the local community.
Cluut jam. You pretty much know what to expect at a Cluut jam. Good times, madness, craziness, and BMX at its finest. Sounds good to us. Paul picked me up and we drove over to Belgium on a Saturday afternoon. Antwerp traffic wasn't too bad and once past Antwerpen we were in Mechelen in no-time. Construction was happening all around the indoor park and we found out that on Monday after the event, the indoor park had to make room for 111 apartments. So this was the very last BMX happening taking place the Rode Kruisplein 14. The Inzini House was packed with BMX-ers. A mix of street, park and dirt riders found their way around the park where the "cash for tricks" concept go the riders hyped to go mad.
Different sections of the park were used for the jam. We arrived when riders were dropping in from the highest part of the park to flat doing barspins, 360s, turndowns and tailwhips. Not everything survived but cash was handed out. Beer was flowing early. This was Belgium after all. King Koen and Denz were handling the records and MC Egon and Rachid were on the mic. The entire Belgian BMX freestyle scene was present and it was good to see the veterans make a showing. Hannu Cools managed to tire tap/icepick/fufanu a wall when his 15 years old cranks broke and he had to switch to the pils. Tom Russell, Sem Kok, Gerrit Vanopdenbosch, rocked the quarter and Twan van Wijk got some cash for doing a rock to barspin 180 out on the rainbow rail.
