Our friends at Nike have been up to some brilliant tricks, in Dagenham.

Having found a 1970s swimming pool destined for demolition, they set to work. The pool was drained, ramps were added  and a unique BMX venue was created that will be open for 30 days this summer.

Nike opened The Pool with a competition showcasing some of their world class BMX talent, and it is now open for use. You can even borrow a BMX and give it a go. Boris bikes these ain't. 

Here is a little film encapsulating the whole metamorphosis:
