What's your best Simple Session memory?
David Budko: Oh man. That’s a difficult one. A lot of crazy moments have gone down through the years. One of my favorite moments was when we were hanging out on the last floor of the hotel around 7am in the morning. My friend was going for a whip down the 5 stairs and right after he landed it he crashed into the wall with his head first leaving a vortex in the wall. I hope there are not going to be any more follow up interviews with you to find out how the situation ended! haha

Biggest crash you've ever seen on a BMX?
David Budko: That’s a good question. A lot of people forget that sometimes it is not how much you can give, but how much sh*t
