Many pro and semi-pro level riders are invited to compete in this competition, and after many riders are eliminated, the last 20 riders battle it out for the top spot. The Elimination goes like this: each rider has a 45 seconds on the clock to preform a run using the whole indoor park. After receiving a score, riders are either eliminated or move on to the next heat. Riders are judged on many things, and a perfect run uses the whole park, while combining different tricks and creative lines throughout the 45 seconds.

The fun thing about Simple session is that all the riders have different styles and backgrounds, so all of the runs are unique and special in their own ways. Some riders use big air time to bust out tricks while others use more of the street features such as stairsets, rails, and ledges. 

Drew Bezanson has won more simple sessions then anyone else, for his massive style and runs full of tricks and technical skills. He rides so many indoor parks he is at home every year at simple session.

Another thing with simple session is its popularity. This comp gives young, new riders on the scene to make a name for themselves if they get good results. There are a lot of spectators and publicity with media and sponsors.

Simple Session is also a skateboarding competition, using the same indoor course.
