Rusevelt Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) A swimming pool in Dagenham, East London, drained and turned into a world class skatepark. http://thisisbandit.com/?p=13744 Edited May 25, 2011 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I thought they were going to do something imaginative with the swimming pool, not just turn it into a skatepark. Amazing riding though, and what was more amazing was seeing BMXers wearing helmets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Not really, its common practice for pro riders to wear a lid/helmet during pro contests. And when your going as huge and tech as these riders, it wouldn't be cool if someone splattered the brains on the floor. Guess East London, is gonna be buzzing this summer.

wmcycles Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 your not allowed to ride in bmx comps without a helmet thats why its the only time you see them wearing them. this video makes me wanna get a bmx again but the would mean the trials bike would have to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Guess East London, is gonna be buzzing this summer. Or for the next 25-ish days. The building's getting torn down in just under a month. Had the opportunity to both go to the original jam, and also to ride The Pool itself today, but had to decline both offers. Sucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Beach Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Some pretty amazing riding in there! Remember Harry Main coming to my local park a few years ago when he was just a 'normal' rider, think it was with Grant Fielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
