A British vert legend, Simon will be making his eighth X Games appearance. He's finished at least top five in every X Games and has four medals. Simon consistently lands the 900 more than anyone which has helped him to a best finish at X of silver in 2004. Had it not been for a serious injury in 2005 that left him unable to compete at X, he surely would have challenged for the gold. Simon is on a roll in 2006, winning four of five competitions so far.

Simon is recognized as the most consistent vert rider when it comes to spinning 900s. Simon has not ridden pegs in three years and in September of 2003 he took off his brakes to force himself to become more creative with his riding. Simon has never used foam pits to learn new tricks, and prefers to learn how to crash a trick safely as he learns to pull it correctly. With three XG bronze medals ('98, '99, '02), a Gravity Games gold medal ('02), and four World Titles in Vert ('91, '02, '03, '04), Simon is no stranger to the podium. Simon has some new 900 variations for 2004 that could earn him another XG medal.

Simon is another one of the well-liked English riders tearing up the vert world. Known for consistent 900s and big flowing flairs, Tabron has made a name for himself in vert riding over his years as an international pro.
