We are loving all the comments on the Simpel Session videos, and this is what you have all been waiting for… With a mostly street-oriented course mixed with a handful of transitions, this year’s Simpel Session setup opened itself up to a huge variety of creative possibilities. Watch this video as a handful of the world’s top riders lay down the moves in the first contest of 2009.

Check out all the best tricks from the contest in this highlight video.
