What does it feel like to jump out of a helicopter with your bike? Kriss Kyle has done it and explains how it feels. He also got to ride some giant slides of a waterpark in Dubai. Interview number two on the project. Worth a read.
What did you think Dubai would be like before you went?
Kriss Kyle: Before I went to Dubai, I didn’t really know what to expect because you see it on tv and it looks like this incredible place. Everything looks so high-end. I have thought about riding there in the past but I didn’t know it would be possible. I saw the skating video We Are Blood so I knew there would be amazing spots, but they had security helping them access all the spots.
A few years ago we did an interview with Risto Kalmre who, together with his brother Mario, is the main man behind Simpe Session. Here's a re-post on what it takes to put on an event like this.
First of all congrats on continuing putting on killer events together in Tallinn and in Helsinki. Through this interview we’d like to show how much goes into these events. When did you actively start preparing for Simple Session 2012?
A brief interview with a modern day legend, we find out where it all started where it went and how it is. Not all the pics in the video are of the actual pics spoken of. The sound is dubbed over the first 3 minutes like a 70s kung fu film, technical nightmares!

-How many Simpel Sessions have you put on before?
Risto: It's our 9th year. We started in 2000. It's gonna be our 6th event in Tallinn in the wintertime. And before that we did 4 events in Tartu in the summertime. In addition to that we put on a decent qualifying event last summer in Tallinn and a year before we did summer qualifying tour in 3 cities.

We asked Kriss Kyle some questions what it's like to jump out of a helicopter with his bike and the video projects he gets to do with his sponsor Red Bull. Boil some water for that tea and enjoy the read.

Kriss Kyle: I guess, recording this video, compared to Kaleidoscope was completely different, because
