Kriss Kyle's latest project brings him face to face with an F1 car driving towards him. The jump was successfully completed using a custom built kicker that was designed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies. Here's all you need to know:
Kyle, who has been on a BMX since the age of 10, ripping round his family hometown of Stranraer, Scotland, is one of the most exciting riders in the world and his profile as one of the most energetic and electrifying park riders globally has earned him some significant air time.
His video edits have received rave reviews, notably his drop in to Dubai, Kaleidoscope film and Out of Season, which sees him apply his signature flair to the world of mountain biking in an all-out trail riding edit.
In 2023, Kriss Kyle again took BMX to new heights – literally – as he tethered a carbon fibre BMX bowl to the underside of a hot air balloon and rode his bike 2,000ft (610m) in the sky.
On continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible on a BMX with this recent challenge, Kyle said, “It was one of the scariest things that I have ever done! Hearing and seeing the car come hurtling towards me was crazy but I just had to clear my mind and concentrate on what I needed to do to make it over. It has been a dream come true to achieve this feat.”
