@simple-session25th anniversary is popping off in Tallinn (Estonia) this weekend. Here are some highlights from the first BMX practice on the epic Nate Wessel designed course to get you in the mood.
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.
Wrapped up the Texas trip with back-to-back Pro-Am wins at the Lonestar Nationals! Didn’t drop a lap all weekend and felt better with each one. Excited to keep building and dialing things in before the first pro race in Rock Hill!

Blood and sweat was spilled; skin sacrificed… heart and soul bared; bones broke. Max Miller knew the risk was great – but the reward greater. So he poured himself into this project and surrendered to the scars and sleepless nights he would earn along the way.
