Simple Session – 22 years of mad action!

Simple Session’s international activities introducing Tallinn and Estonia as an attractive tourism destination of action sports and culture are supported by The European Regional Development Fund (200 000 euros for three events 2020-2022).


Simple Session 22 will be back in Tallinn, Estonia, on June 11-12 with another big summertime festival and an all-around good time! The Simple Session series will host an exciting contest in the Põhjala Factory district – an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub will serve as a thrilling location for the event.

Skateboarding and BMX are all about creativity. So is Simple Session – hosting the series at the coolest and liveliest venue in Tallinn will take the entire contest experience to another level for athletes and viewers alike. We are coming closer to fans and back to the core of these sports as well as to our roots.
