Simple Session 2022 kicks off in a week!

Simple Session 2022 kicks off in a week! Super excited to welcome everyone back in Tallinn on June 8-13, together with the best BMX athletes and skateboarders worldwide. The Festival stays loyal to its last year’s new spot, taking place in the Põhjala district, an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub. And not to mention street jams in the city center, legendary parties and many more. See the full program on our website simple.session.ee.

“We’re glad to be back at the Põhjala district that welcomes everyone with its cozy summer vibe. More intimate and closer to public venue proved itself well last year for both riders and audience, and we received great feedback, so we decided to continue with our third decade of Simple Session here,” says Risto Kalmre, the founder of Estonia’s biggest and world-renowned action sports event which takes place since 2000.

The park is designed by one and only Nate Wessel, who, for the 16th time in a row, has blessed us with a course that will cater to everybody – the fast and loose, the tech and precise, the skaters and the bikers. Filled with quite a few features you won’t find at your local skatepark, it’s the perfect blend for combining big tricks with the most challenging combos to perform, and therefore, it should be a pleasure for all-around riders and spectators alike.

Check course HERE.

For now, we have over 100 confirmed riders from almost 30 countries.  Have a look at the most recent athletes line-up on our website.

The festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 8, with Stoned Street X FTL X Simple Session BMX Street Jam, followed by Visit Estonia X SS22 Sauna Jumping Jam at Freedom Square, where riders and skaters will have a unique opportunity to jump over a wood-fired hot tub. Thursday and Friday will be followed by street jam day in the city center on Hämarik stairs located right next to Viru Keskus and with training sessions on both days.
