Have you been riding much over the winter months?
- Unfortunately not. A hectic school schedule mixed together with some recurring injuries have kept me off the bike for a while.

What indoor parks do you have in Tallinn?
- There's a small indoor park at a youth centre in a place called Pääsküla. It's open to bikes twice a week. The park is built out of the remains of a previous Simpel Session and I think Wessel might've had something to do with the layout to have it work best for a small space. If anyone's interested, there's been a bunch of videos of it posted all over the web. During a few prior Simpel Sessions some riders have come through and completely shredded the place, including the whole Etnies team.
