The BMX pro featured in the photos and video is Tyler Fernegel, a native of Wyandotte, Michigan. He raced Supercross at the Silverdome when he was 10 years old. At 19 he hadn't seen the stadium since.

"Just being out on the field, it was crazy to think that there once was a motorcycle track here, every year, and all the fans, but now it's nowhere near the same."
