The Pool was more than a BMX comp, it was one of the most extra-ordinary gatherings of the BMX community this century. From the draining of a soon to be demolished local authority swimming pool in Dagenham, East London, into a world class park in less than two weeks was a feat in itself, but to see the diversity and level or riding on display at the launch event was truly remarkable.

40 international riders with a brand new team format saw non-comp riders, veterans, street destroyers and park animals all throw down into something far better than we could have dreamt of. Winning Team: Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Josh Harrington and Jeremiah Smith Best Line: (Awarded to Ruben’s team) Ruben Alcantara, Kevin Kalkoff, Sergio Layos, and Tom Dugan Best Rider: (Rider’s choice) Dennis Enarson Best Trick: Brian Foster – Gap to curved wallride out of the deep end.
