Monster Energy congratulates 29-year-old Boyd Hilder from Gold Coast, Australia on his incredible victory at Simple Session 2025, where he claimed his third career gold medal in a thrilling final. After overcoming a tough start in the qualifiers, the Australian BMX pro delivered a flawless second run, earning a 94.25 and cementing his reputation as one of the sport’s most versatile and creative riders.
Estonia’s iconic action sports event, Simple Session, will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2025 by returning to Tallinn’s Unibet Arena (formerly Saku Arena) with a grand festival. Simple Session celebrates a quarter-century of mind-blowing riding, unforgettable moments, and a global community of riders pushing the limits.
In a thrilling final, Australian rider Boyd Hilder secured his third gold medal at Simple Session, earning an impressive score of 94.25. He narrowly edged out Great Britain’s Jordan Clark, who finished second with 93.25, while Japan’s Rim Nakamura claimed the bronze with 92.25. Hilder’s path to victory wasn’t easy—after a crash in the qualifiers, he started his final run in 14th place. “I slipped off the pedal in my first run and didn’t want to risk any big tricks after that,” Hilder explained. “So I decided to go all in on my last attempt.” His strategy paid off as he delivered a flawless second run, packed with complex tricks across the entire course. “I always plan my runs carefully and try to utilize every part of the park. The highlight for me was landing the backflip Smith grind.”
BMX head judge David Cleworth credited Hilder’s creativity for his win. “He approached the course in a completely unique way—his tricks were fresh, inventive, and original,” Cleworth remarked. “That backflip Smith grind on an obstacle no one else had touched, the stylish one-handed cannonball, and the toothpick grind up—those were all moves I haven’t seen before. His run felt both strategic and effortless.”
Jordan Clark, competing at Simple Session for the first time, also impressed the judges with his intensity. “Executing a double flare at the 59-second mark after such a demanding run is what secured his second-place finish,” Cleworth noted.
