Everyone knows the Silverdome. The stadium located in Pontiac, Michigan is one of the most iconic sports sites in the country. Sadly, it has come under harsh times. Left in ruins. Almost becoming a dark image of the economic state of Metro Detroit of the early 2000’s.

Enter upcoming BMX rider, Tyler Fernengel. Fernengel, with the help from Red Bull, went to the Silverdome to make a BMX video. According to Red Bull’s YouTube channel, Fernengel is a native of Wyandotte, Michigan and “grew up going the best sports spectacular at the stadium.” The BMX rider even race in supercross at the stadium when he was a boy.

The project is part of the company’s action sports videos it has become known for. What come out is hauntingly beautiful. Check out the video above.

In 2001, the Detroit Lions moved to Ford Field and the stadium was left without a permanent resident. The city then sold the stadium at auction in 2009.
