Red Bull Promotes Crazy BMX 
Ride Through Silverdome (video)
(C. Proxmire, June 9, 2015)
Energy drink company Red Bull has made a video of a BMX rider taking a stunt-filled ride through the dilapidated Pontiac Silverdome. The sentimental video pays homage to the roar of the crowds and the sporting prowess exhibited in the stadium’s heyday. The promo video is an 
approximately three minute wild ride through the ruins, with a couple of pauses for the rider to sip the company’s product.
The rider, Tyler Fernengel, had performed at the Silverdome in BMX competitions in his youth. An interview with him can be read at http://www.redbull.com/us/en/bike/stories/1331728006730/bmx-street-rider-tyler-fernengel-inside-the-abandoned-silverdome.
