Watch Kriss Kyle redefine what’s possible on a mountain bike as he rides the face of a massive dam and reservoir, taking on high-consequence exposure, ultra-steep lines, and razor-sharp technical features. With unmatched creativity and control, Kriss tackles terrain few would dare — all aboard the Stumpjumper 15.
You don't have to be as good at bikes as this guy to enjoy the Stumpjumper 15, but he sure is fun to watch do crazy stuff!
In his latest gravity-defying project, Damn Big Dams, Scottish freeride and BMX legend Kriss Kyle swaps out the trails for a playground made of industrial concrete. Partnering with Specialized, Kyle tackles the massive, ultra-steep faces and terrifying vertical exposure of a giant water dam.
Bringing his signature BMX precision to high-consequence mountain biking, Kyle rides lines with zero room for error. He relies on the advanced full-suspension of the Specialized Stumpjumper 15 to absorb brutal impacts, sharp transitions, and heavy G-outs that would break lesser bikes. Packed with jaw-dropping drone shots that emphasize the sheer scale of the structure, this edit is a masterpiece of technical creativity and sheer nerves.
(Note: Kriss is an elite professional athlete, so definitely don't try riding your local dam at home!)
