Im not sure NIKE advertising dept would call it a waste. The amount publicity the NIKE pool is getting, all the shops,teams and riders who are showing off their web clips and photos taken at the NIKE pool, the number of time the NIKE logo as been looked at over the last 3 weeks. Not to mention that people are even warming to a brand such as NIKE being involved in BMX, what with the amount of effort they have gone to to get so many people a chance to ride the park that NIKE built after they put on a pretty damn good contest. How long do X-games parks stay set up for? (that is a real question, I dont know the answer, but I suspect they only stay up for the contest and no one gets to ride it after).

I think Nike have done REAL well out of this ..... but it IS a shame it cant stay open for longer.

It gets torn down next weekend.

Old school bikes ruled Del Mar, Uplands, Romford, Harrow etc etc at one time Alex  >:D

... it was more the case that a meet had been proposed to happen there... bit of riding... bit of show & shine... just an amazing opportunity to gather in a very special place that only had a very short lifespan... great shame that it didn't happen as virtually no one stepped up to help organize it.

But the chance has gone now so thats that - there's a couple more public sessions in there this weekend then its gone.

Sure, people used to ride terrible 80s bikes in big skateparks but would ANYONE really wanna do a 4 ft air in an 8ft bowl on an 80s bike now?
Let alone if that someone is "our age"!   ;D

But yes, it would have been a great place for a BMX meet up of any kind. Old School included  :daumenhoch:

Alex dont forget about all THE POOL t-shirts the kids have been given, all THE POOL stickers on bikes and helmets and how many kids are using THE POOL bags for school.
Probably a cheap venture for NIKE compared to say a TV advert or big magazine advert and directly aimed at it's intended market.
How many friends does NIKE have on facebook?
