| Diamondback's Diogo Canina in BrazilDiogo Canina goes home to Brazil to get some at the local concrete skateparks and trails. Those trails are massive. It's always exciting to see somebody ride them; especially with big tricks.

So that we can get pumped up for this summer's X Games I'm going to post ESPN's BMX coverage from last year in this blog. Get ready... July 29 - August 1. Los Angeles. (Scroll down below the videos for the full list of BMX riders to be in this summer's X Games as well.) Easily the biggest thing to go down at X Games 16. Thanks to A Naps, the first double frontflip. Big Air: Park: Street: Vert: *Please note: The invited athlete list is constantly being updated and is subject to change. Channels: Bike Drew "Thousand And Ten" Bezanson WINS Simpel SessionWow. Don't even have enough room to name off the bangers. Fufanu AND a footjam on the far railing by Drew. Drew also did a whip catch whip on the box. Brett "Maddog", who took second, kept front flipping banks that shouldn't be front flipped. He also did a 720 tailwhip which was banana bonkers... Ben Wallace did a 3 double downside whip and a 3 layback to downside whip. He earned third place. Diogo Canina took fourth with the best use of the course and maybe the toughest rider award by getting up after every HARD slam he took. Harry Main took fifth with an always solid performance including a 3 downside whip to bar. And Leandro from Brazil took sixth. Dan Lacey pwn3d the best trick contest with a tooth hangover to 360. Sounds crazy but just watch the end... The contest was so good. Can't wait to see the highlights videos. And let's hear it for the official year... of DREW THOUSAND AND TEN!!! video & photo by Fat Tony (RIDEbmx.com) Channels: Bike Simpel Session Day OneAlright let's start off with a quick rundown of the qualifiers for the finals. These guys will be going to the finals tomorrow. Also tomorrow there will be a best trick contest for everyone. Game on! Also, I'd like to mention that Simpel Session is going huge for the riders and changing the lip on the box jump. I think the riders weren't getting enough pop/height for big tricks so the dudes are just going to make it steeper so the BMX guys can go HUGE for you! 1. Drew Bezanson CAN 2. Garrett Reynolds USA 3. Brett Banasiewicz USA 4. Diogo Canina BRA 5. Harry Main UK 5. Gary Young USA 7. Ben Wallace UK 8. Michael Beran CZE 9. Dan Norvell USA 9. Kevin Kiraly USA 11. Corey Martinez USA 12. Simone Barraco ITA 13. Ben Snowden USA 14. Kiattichai Wanitsakun THA 15. Sergio Layos ESP 15. Rob Darden USA 17. Andres Lainevool EST 18. Leandro Moreira BRA 19. Tony Watkinson UK 20. Mark Webb UK 20. Zack Williams UK 22. Georgy Doremus FRA 23. Andre Jesus BRA 23. Danny Hickerson USA Drew Bezanson is on top of the game recently. He did the typical whips and flips and spins necessary to get into the finals but also fufanu'd an intense railing. Garrett Reynolds was going huge. He fell quite a few times trying wild shit but got right back up and nailed these things. Ice grind to nose manual down the entire hubba. Feeble up to barspin to manual to barspin attempt. Plenty of barspins to ice grinds and truck drivers and such. He will go BIG tomorrow. Brett "Maddog" took 3rd at 15 years of age. He hit off flip whips, front flips, 3 whips, and pretty much became number one box jumper or quarterpipe rider this morning...  Diogo Canina killed it in the same group as Drew Bezanson. All kinds of whips and spins and creative lines to earn fourth. Harry Main also killed it in the same way though having trouble with the lip tricks. Gary Young had an insanely creative run that earned him high scores without the flips and whips and such. Ben Wallace is a UK rider that is coming up for sure and not only has big tricks, but has them smoother than anyone else. Michael Beran simply went big, without much regard to style or his physical well being. Hucking truck drivers with late tailwhips and such. Dan Norvell was in the number one spot early in the game and did it through a breakthrough performance of flips and spins. Kevin Kiraly also made it to the finals with very quality street riding. Bars to ice. Luc-Es to 180s. Jeez!  Corey Martinez did some amazing rail work like 180 to fakie grinds and luc-Es. Simone Barraco should have scored even higher. Seriously. This young gun seriously put things down. The gap bar to smith was nuts and unexpected. He finished the run off with a flair and other good street moves on the ledges and rails. Whew. I'm getting tired of this... Let's just end with the hometown hero, ANDRES LAINEVOOL. This kid from Estonia earned a spot in the final for sure. At first it looked like he was just another talented rider from Europe getting his name out there with this contest. He was firing off clean whips and flips and spins. However, at the end, pretty much at the buzzer, he came out with a 900 and landed it! First try insanity. Catfish went nuts on the mic, I fell out of my chair, the local crowd went crazy. Hope to see more from this young stallion tomorrow in the finals...  The contest format was kind of troublesome as some riders weren't used to riding contests and had a lot of dead time in runs and ate up the time of other competitors but the organizers did their best to give everybody a fair shot at two runs each essentially. Riders like Dan Lacey were having trouble with the quick format and couldn't advance due to some falls and lack of time. Riders that couldn't ride were Dennis Enarson, Hoang Tran, and Ty Morrow. It kinda sucks because those are the best riders right there pretty much. Like that could be the podium right there. Hope this day one update tied you over for the finals and best trick tomorrow. Make sure you tune in to their website to watch it live and if you like what you see book a flight next year because the Simpel Session has a lot more to offer than just the contest I tellz yaz...
