Tyler Fernengel BMX Session || Silverdome

Up-and-coming BMX rider and Michigan native Tyler Fernengel has become the last professional athlete to perform inside the iconic Silverdome stadium in Detroit, which shut its doors for good a few years ago. Formerly the home of the Detroit Lions, the 82,000 capacity stadium was briefly transformed into the perfect BMX park, with huge jumps, handrails, and wallrides.

"The last time I was inside the Silverdome was nine years ago — at the last amateur Supercross race I attended when I was 10," said Fernengel. "When I showed up to scope for the shoot, so many memories were coming back. Just sitting in the tunnel — where you come out on the track and where the players would run out — I remembered sitting there, years ago, with my dad and all the other kids. It brought back a lot of good memories. Being out on the field, it was crazy to think that there once was a motorcycle track there, every year, with all the fans, but now it’s nowhere near the same — it’s like a war zone."
