The 18th edition of the annual Simple Session contest went down this weekend,
February 3 – 4 at the Saku Arena in Tallinn, Estonia. The event was dedicated to the 100th birthday of the Republic of Estonia.
In BMX street contest, Garrett Reynolds USA took his 4th win at Simple Session (previously in 2008, 2009 and 2017). Bruno Hoffman GER was second and Broc Raiford USA came in third place. In BMX park, Jose Torres ARG won the gold, Irek Rizaev RUSwon silver, and Kenneth Tencio CRI the bronze medal.
“Torres is just powerful, non-stop, not scared – he goes higher than most and packs a lot into his run. He was really consistent and that’s what got him the win this weekend,” commented BMX head judge Bart De Jong. ” And Garrett is Garrett! He’s been-there-done-that, and knows when to deliver. He’s basically on a different level, always. He showed that he can stay on top and make it work, when it matters.”
On top of being the overall BMX street winner, Garrett Reynolds was also awarded the Visit Estonia “Epic Estonia Trip” best trick prize for making the best use of the Estonia 100 and Visit Estonia obstacles in the Simple Session 18 contest course.
The contest hosted 159 athletes from 27 countries in total.
