<p class="">Today we’re joined by Kriss Kyle. Kriss found his fame in BMX and more recently has brought that style and creativity onto the mountain bike.</p> <p class="">From living in a skatepark, to jumping over a moving formula one car, Kriss has been on quite the journey. We talk about the crossover from BMX to MTB, how skills, style, and fearless thinking translate from ramps to trails. We dig into the pressure of performing, the risks of big projects, and the process behind turning wild ideas into reality.</p> <p class="">Kriss is a truly unique addition to the MTB world and it was fascinating to find out more about him. <em>so sit back, hit play, and enjoy this </em>episode with Kriss Kyle.</p> <p class="">You can also watch this episode on YouTube <a href="https://youtube.com/@downtimepodcast?si=DvedOnZra9-nxCqa">here</a>.</p> <p class="">You can follow Kriss on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/krisskyle/?hl=en">@krisskyle</a>, find him on YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@KrissKyle">here</a> and watch his latest MTB edit <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLRhKO6oRE0">here</a>.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-1a8ad112-64f1-4b39-97cd-016c01ae8a21">Podcast Stuff</h4> <h5 class="wp-block-heading">Sponsoring Partners</h5> <p class="">This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://uk.wahoofitness.com/">Wahoo Fitness</a>.
