BMX pro and New York native Nigel Sylvester recently had the opportunity to use the construction site of the new Dream Hotel in Hollywood as his own personal skate park. The session was filmed as part of a series called “My City of Dream” that starts out with a ride through the streets of LA before shifting locations to the site of the hotel at 6417 Selma Ave in Hollywood. Once inside the partially constructed tower, Nigel sets up some lines and tricks his way off building materials and concrete walls, ending the video on the roof. Speaking about the unorthodox hotel launch campaign, Nigel noted that Dream Hotels, “uncovered a new kind of playground by allowing me to ride and explore the hotel building site in the midst of construction.”

Check out the spot above to hear Nigel share his feelings on the City of Angels and watch his BMX skills in action, then head over to the Dream Hotels website for more information.
