Last summer Alex Donnachie, Sam Jones and Greg Layden were lucky enough to make two trips to Riga in Latvia to ride at GGFest and Simple Summer Session, they also managed to film this video on the streets of Riga.
In the summer of 2017 one of the most anticipated BMX events Simple Session traveled south for the first time. At the peak of the Nordic summer it headed to the very heart of Latvia’s capital, the spectacular city of Riga. The best BMX park and street riders from around the world went head to head on a massive Wessel designed outdoor course on the city’s legendary Freedom Monument bridge.
