“We all love a good DIY BMX jam! A few weeks ago Bam Hambe and some of the technical difficulties crew got together and put on the Black Cat DIY Jam in North Wales. The spot looked amazing and the turnout was full of familiar faces from the younger rippers like Henry Logan all the way to the legends like Ben Lewis & Owain Clegg.

Kriss Kyle Riding BMX at 2,000ft Under A HOT AIR BALLOON

April 13, 2023

Kriss Kyle floated a wild idea to Red Bull and they made it happen.

Over the years we’ve seen Red Bull support some really wild projects for their team, and today they raised the bar once again! Kriss Kyle had an idea of riding up in the sky, and they cooked up a plan to float a bowl 2,000 feet up under a hot air balloon. We can’t imagine what went into making this one happen, but they figured it out and Kriss made the most of it. Here’s a look at this crazy setup, along with some wild riding from Kriss. That back rail ice was unreal. This is a must see, even if you aren’t a fan of heights.

“Limits do not exist for BMX rider and Red Bull athlete Kriss Kyle who has achieved something seemingly impossible. With a skatepark suspended from one of the world’s largest hot-air balloons, Kriss Kyle floats over 2,000 feet above ground, showcasing an array of tricks suspended in mid-air for his latest pioneering BMX film.
