Bron: Fat BMX
Freecaster.tv will be streaming a high-quality Live Webcast from Simpel Session in Tallinn, Estonia on January 25th and 26th. Now in it's 8th year Simpel Session has been building a reputation for creating a truly supportive and encouraging vibe, making it an exciting destination for skateboarders and BMX riders alike all over the globe. The course design, by Nate Wessel is dialed for Skate and BMX
which will create new challenges for the riders, making the show even more spectacular for spectators. Fuel TV's David Mavro comments: "The list of riders this year is nuts. Seriously I have not seen a contest with this type of field in a long time. It's clear Simpel Session has grown into THE event, hands down." Truly, this year’s Simpel Session has gathered all-time best line-up and the BMX and skate community coming to Tallinn will be huge.
Freecaster.tv is thrilled to come to Tallinn to broadcast Live. "I'm really excited to start the 2008 Skate and BMX seasons." Says Raymond Dulieu, CEO Freecaster.tv. "Unfortunately I cannot be there personally as I will be covering the Winter X Games, but I'll be one of those watching it live on Freecaster." Freecaster.tv has an important role for sending out the stream on their environment but of course this cannot be done without the Simpel Session broadcast team. It consist more than 25 people and 8 cameras working for the live coverage. Live interviews and judging/scoring system will make the webcast even more exciting.
It's third year when Simpel Session broadcasts the entire contest live on screen and over the internet and the first time to work together with Freecaster.tv. Last year Simpel Session’s live webcast gathered almost the same amount of viewers than the webcast for Estonian Eurovison song contest. It's also possible to watch the event straight from the events website.
Highlights will also be available straight after the event on Freecaster.tv/BMX and Freecaster/sk8 so don't worry too much if the journey to Northern Europe is too far, Freecaster.tv will be there to make sure you don't miss any of the outstanding action from Simpel Session 08.

Nate Wessel Interview
Name: Nathan Wessel
Age: 31
Hometown: Centre Hall, PA
You have a lot of things going on Nate, the ramp building, the riding, the family and Team Blowin' it. Let's start with the ramp building. How many days a year are you on the job building ramps? Nate: 472 (what) Sorry I never was that good at math. I’m really not sure but I do know that it is way too many days. This last year was probably my busiest yet. It is good and bad. Good because I have work, but bad when I am away from my family.
What are some of the ramps that you built in 2007? Nate: I designed some stuff for the Simple Session event in Estonia, 2 20,000 sq ft indoor and outdoor area, plus a simulated ski hill into an aerated pool, The X games Vert ramp, X games BMX park course and the skateboard street course. A box jump ¼ pipe and driveway set up for some Vans shows in Guam. Back yard ramp Nike 6.0 Banksgiving jam at Garrett Reynolds house, Crazy step up step down at the Flow skatepark for Nike 6.0 contest., Back yard ramp Nike 6.0 Banksgiving jam at Ben Snowden’s house., New skate plaza in the Hanger at Woodward West, Vert ramp and BMX/ Skateboard street course for X games Mexico, Designing an indoor training facility for snowboarding and skiing at Copper Mountain in Colorado, A wood bowl in the Woodward @ Copper retail store, BMX/ Skateboard street course for X games Dubai, A bunch of other design work for other projects that may or may not happen. And of course all of these things were built with the help of friends and people that are on my crew.

New ride for Pat
Pat heeft dus een nieuwe bike. Het is een '07 Eastern Jane. Het zal vreemd zijn om 'm z'n backflips nou eens niet op een grijze of een groene bike te zien doen. (Ben benieuwd wanneer Richard z'n Eastern komt)

Andreu Lacondeguy: eerste Backflip van een snowboardschans
Bron: Pinkbike
Andreu Lacondeguy is the first one to land a backflip jumping a snow big air ramp on a mountain bike. Exactly a week before his 19th birthday, Kona-Teamrider Andreu made his way into mountain bike history. About 7.000 visitors of the Snowboard Big Air World Cup in Graz paid tribute to the courage of this uprising young Spanish athlete.
Jumping a huge sized snow ramp constructed for skiers & snowboarders is a risky attempt itself. Only a few mountain bikers did take this chance before. The snowy surface in combination with the high speed and the distance of the jump itself are the factors that make it a real stunt.
Arrived at the location in Graz, the Spanish native didn't fight the own excitement but the temperatures: "I didn't expect that it would be that cold, I should have taken some more warm clothes with me." Attempting one straight jump on Friday, this challenge seemed to be no problem for Andreu at all.
After the quarterfinals of the Snowboard Big Air World Cup on Saturday, Andreu Lacondeguy rolled into the steep bank and pulled his whole body backwards while loosing the ground under his tires. The whole crowd screaming and yelling, he pulled his bike in a nice smooth vertical rotation and did fly about 20 meters before landing perfectly safe. Only reducing the speed after touching the landing table made the bike a little bit bumpy. Long standing ovations followed, before the main contest was to proceed.
Andreu's statement after the jump: ”I was a little bit nervous on the start. I never rode snowboard jumps before and I was not really sure, if it would work out. I just did one practice jump yesterday because jumping that wide is really risky. Today I just flipped it and I landed it clean and perfect. That was the first event of the year for me and I did my biggest backflip ever. That is just amazing for me! Thanks to Red Bull for making this great experience possible.”
Andreu Lacondeguy once again did show his amazing talent and fearlessness that makes him to one of the superstars within the mountain bike sport. Be sure the summer will be exciting. The scene should look forward to see him conquering the airspace at the most important freeride events all over the world.
