Nike Shuts Down Europe BMX Team

It’s not just Kriss Kyle, the entire European BMX team for Nike has been let go…

Earlier today we caught wind that Kriss Kyle was off Nike, now it looks like the entire BMX program for Nike Europe is done according to Freedom BMX in Germany. That means Simone Barraco, Kriss Kyle, Alex Kennedy, Felix Prangenberg, Daniel Tünte and Moritz Nussbaumer will all be looking for some new shoes to wear when riding in the future. We’ve been hearing rumors that Nike is letting go their entire BMX program, but we haven’t seen anything from Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Garrett Reynolds or Nigel Sylvester as of right now. Either way, it’s a bummer to see a big brand like Nike step away from BMX in Europe.

from today on I’ll no longer be riding for @nike // I can’t thank them and especially @achimkujawski enough for everything they did for me over the past 10 years?? It was a good time but sadly everything comes to an end at some point. On to the next chapter!
