BMX Roots | MTB Soul: Watch as Kriss and Christian bring their street-inspired creativity to the mountains. Their jibbing style turns every rock, root, and urban wall-ride into a playground.
The Gear: The duo puts the Specialized Stumpjumper and Levo SL to the ultimate test. Whether it’s technical climbing on the e-MTB or massive gaps on the analog trail bike, the footage highlights the versatility of these modern machines.
From Dirt to Concrete: The transition from lush, loamy singletrack to the iconic stair sets and skateparks of the Bay Area illustrates that for these riders, the "perfect trail" is wherever they happen to be.
The Brotherhood: Beyond the stunts, the video captures the genuine stoke of two longtime friends finally collaborating on a project they’ve discussed for years.
