Simple Session 21 will be back in Tallinn, Estonia, on August 20–21 with a big summertime festival and an all-around good time. This years’ event will be more exclusive as the tickets are limited and the venue will be more intimate and closer to public as ever – the Simple Session series will host an exciting street-contest in the hip up and coming Põhjala district – an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub.
Simple Session 21 will also be one of the first significant international events after the big Olympic debut for BMX and skateboarding in Tokyo. Sixty-four of the finest invitation-only BMX street riders and skateboarders from all around the world will go head to head on a new 600m2 Nate Wessel designed street course.
“I’m delighted that we can run the event at the youthful and vibrant Põhjala factory, do the sessions during Estonian summertime and the riders and viewers will enjoy these sports as they were born. The global health crisis has prevented us from hosting the annual wintertime event, so we are delighted now to host Simple Session during the sunny side of the year,” Risto Kalmre, the founder of Estonia’s biggest and world renown adventure sport event says.
The event kicks off at the day of the Estonian Restoration of Independence on the 20th of August, starting a long weekend with the best riders and Simple Session antics on and off the course. Simple Session 21 also features their famous three-day party and after-hours program from Thursday to Saturday at the event weekend. While skateboarding and BMX contest sessions with only limited number of tickets available will be held indoors, lively outdoors yard with a mini-ramp events together with the kendama-shows, partners’ pop-ups, foodtrucks and happenings attracts visitors free of charge.
