The Simple Session has developed into a contest that nobody wants to miss. Making it on the riders list is not an easy task. You need to prove yourself to be added to ride the contest. A lot of first time riders this year. FATBMX is catching up with them. Today we present: Inuk Siegstad. Age: 19 Years. Hometown: Sisimiut in Greenland. Sponsored by All access.dk, Foxhead nordic, Rite.se, family, my girl and friends.

When did you first hear about the Simple Session?
Inuk Siegstad: 2011 in my boarding school. My Friend sent me a live stream on Freecaster.tv I think.

Did you have to look on a map to find out where Estonia actually was?
Inuk Siegstad: Haha Yes! I know it was in Europe, but not really where.

Now you’re on the riders list, how does that make you feel?
Inuk Siegstad: I'm so happy for that! It will be the biggest contest I have ever been to.

What was your first impression when you saw the drawings of the 2014 course?
Inuk Siegstad: My first thought was "This is crazy! it will be fun." something like that haha!

When do you first get to ride the set up? Any obstacle in particular that you want to hit up first thing?
Inuk Siegstad: I'll know when I get there. But I can't wait to try the box jump

Making finals will be tough in a strong field like this. How do you see your chances?
Inuk Siegstad: I don't think I have chances to get to the finals. But I will try my best.

With the live webcast thousands of people will be watching

you ride, plus about 2000 pretty girls will be there in person. Are you getting nervous yet?
Inuk Siegstad: I'm not really nervous about the people watching me. I love to show what I can do. And 2000 girls? 1 of them is my girlfriend, I'm glad that she will be there.

Who is your pick for first place this year?
Inuk Siegstad: I don't have one, I have 3. Drew Bezanson, Harry Main or Logan Martin. I hope it will be one of them.
