Presented by Kerrang!, the event featured some of the most influential names in extreme sport and music, with over 30 bands playing across the two stages, including Cypress Hill, The Vandals, Electric Six and Kellie Osbourne.
A giant bowl was constructed to accommodate the skate and BMX competition. Competing skaters and BMX riders, surrounded by grandstand seating for 1,500 fans, included Shaun White, Matt Hoffman, and Jake Brown, fighting to win the £30,000 prize fund.
ARB supplied two of its Barco 7 D-Lite LED screens, allowing those attendees who couldn't get a seat in the arena to watch from outside. ARB's project manager, Anthony Lynn, managed the installation of the two 10sq.m LED mobile screens units and the four cameras feeding the live action into an outside broadcast unit. The four live feeds were edited in the OB unit throughout the event.
Lynn was impressed with the organization of the event: "The organizers had the foresight to provide screens for those who couldn't get into the arena. There were always a few hundred people sat around watching the action while they listened to the live bands across on the main stage. We received a lot of comments about how good the camera work and the quality of the screens was. I must admit though, these large screens were dwarfed against the sheer scale of the Dome event!"
