Nike The Pool Grand Opening
A few months ago Nike teased us with whisperings of a top secret project they were working on called "The Pool".
Following on from weeks of speculation and fantastic 70s inspired teaser videos the full details of "The Pool" were finally unveiled late last week.
Nike has converted Dagenhamâs old 1970s public swimming pool into a unique world class BMX facility.Designed by one of the worldâs best skatepark designers, Dave Sowerby, "The Pool" kicked off in style on Saturday 14th May with a global competition for the worldâs best riders.
Route One were of course in attendance and were totally blown away by the event and park itself. Imagine your dream of digging out an indoor swimming pool and constructing a first class bike park within the empty shell - well this is exactly what Nike have gone ahead and done!
We joined a selection of guests (including R1 competition winners Shaun & Melissa from Rugely, Staffs) for a day of food, drink and incredible BMXing.
Final results from the Pool:
Teams:
1st - Dennis Enarson, Jeremiah Smith, Chad Kerley, Josh Harrington
2nd - Drew Bezanson, Pat Casey, Rob Wise, Michael Beran
3rd - Harry Main, Kyle Baldock, Alex Coleborn, Ben Wallace
