What was your first impression when you saw the 3D drawings of the Simpel Session course for 2011? - I was definitely stoked on the big park aspects such as the box and quarters. Looks like a ton of flow I'm super siked.
When are you getting there?
- I fly out of Salt Lake February first and arrive in Estonia the 2nd.
Are you spending some extra time in Tallinn? and if so, what have you planned on doing besides riding the contest?
- I'll be there a couple days early and leave a couple later. No plans yet but I'm sure it won't be too hard to find something awesome.
Who are you looking forward to see at the event?
- Everyone! I mainly ride dirt so I only get to see the dirt shredders but I have been putting a ton of effort into park and am siked to shred with all my friends that I am normally watching from the side. I am definitely stoked to watch Pat Casey kill it.
Who do you think will make a podium spot for sure?
- Probably little Brett, and Pat Casey for sure, right under me ;) haha. you really can never say for sure. any dude there could kill it that day and come away with it, there are so many insane dudes out there.
Will you be nervous when you drop in for your run in front of a few thousand screaming girls?
- I don't really get nervous, if you put it that way I'll be more pumped to kill it.
Are you ready for the after-parties?
- I just ordered an Andrew wk shirt that says "Party Hard" in huge letters that I will probably ride in ha. Am I ready?
If the right obstacle is there, what trick are you going to try for the first time in a contest?
- A lot comes to mind. I have recently learned a lot of gnarly stuff. Just last weekend I pulled my first Backflip Barspin to late tailwhip on dirt at Nastazio's best trick contest. I did two in a row so that one may come out. It's a pretty gnarly trick though and there is a ton going on. It all comes down to how the course feels. I definitely have some new things I haven't done yet so we will see! I'm siked for it!
