A 57 Image Gallery

Words & Photos by: Wes McGrath

Entering the 18th consecutive year of Simple Session, it seems as though the contest has not only gained more and more relevance as the years continue but it has truly captivated the world of BMX and the hearts of all the riders involved. I hadn't ever been to a Simple Session before but I can tell you now that, well, it's not that simple. Over the years I have heard so many crazy stories, from so many different people that I couldn't hold myself back any longer. Whether or not all the rumors remained true, I can tell you that I was thoroughly impressed all on accounts. The riding was exceptional, the city was beautifully covered in snow, the parties never stopped, and oh yea, I think I ate pasta every single meal.

Check out some of your favorite riders as well as some you probably haven't heard of, here in this 57 image gallery reflecting what happened inside the Saku Arena... and as for what happens outside of the arena, well you're just going to have to come and see for yourself.
