When did you first hear about the Simple Session?
Answer: The first time I heard about Simple Session was... I think around 2008 when Anthony Napolitan and Ronnie Napolitan went. They're from Youngstown and I remember watching a Levi's video of them talking about going there and I remember watching the live feed of the contest on my computer.

Did you have to look on a map to find out where Estonia actually was?
Answer: Probably years back when I first heard of Simple Session I did. But I do know that Simple Session is probably the only reason why I know where Estonia is on a map haha.

Now you’re on the riders list, how does that make you feel?

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.

Did you have to look on a map to find out where Estonia actually was?

When did you first hear about the Simple Session?

We love great ideas. When we saw this flyer we had to know more so we got in touch with Ben Snowden to get the details about Pro BMX-ers running a bar in HB on Tuesday.

We noticed the BMX-ers are taking over the bar in HB. How did this plan come together?
Ben Snowden: I approached Sharkeez with the idea and they loved it. Alex Mag from Nyte Hype is the head promoter for the night.
