For the 12th year the brand new and unique course is designed by ramp designer extraordinaire, Mr. Nate Wessel.

 

The SS18 course will make an unique riding experience for the street and ramp skaters and bike riders alike. As has become expected from Simple Sessions the course combines street and park elements to one single huge exclusive course. This skatepark is the bomb and will bring out world’s first tricks that go down in the history books of BMX riding and skateboarding. We cannot wait what riders will come up with!
