ABOUT

Kriss Kyle is undoubtedly one of the most exciting BMX riders in the world. As a resident of Dumbarton’s Unit 23 skate park, Kyle’s commitment to his craft has given him the edge over his competitors and marked him as an explosive young talent.

For Kriss’ new Kaleidoscope project with Red Bull and Sony, esteemed set designer and first time director Ben Scott was enlisted to create one of the most innovative BMX sets ever. Incorporating moving ramps and optical set pieces, Ben worked closely with Kriss to build a set that is perfect for some breathtaking riding. The resulting film features some amazing tricks and some never before seen visual effects.

“I have been on film sets all of my career, and have seen most things, but nothing really prepares you for an athlete coming to you in the middle of a shooting day and saying, ”you know that 38 foot drop combo, well, I thought I might do it backwards.” Now that’s scary” Ben Scott.
