“It was the hardest project I’ve ever worked on in my life”, said Scottish BMX rider Kriss Kyle, while also calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”.

Yeah, well, not everyone has the guts and gall to perform daring stunts on a floating skate park more than 2 000 feet (610 metres) in the sky, Kyle.

The 31-year-old high-rider completed the world-first stunt, called Don’t Look Down (he did look down) when he rode around a custom-made bowl suspended by one of the UK’s largest hot air balloons.

Thankfully, the BMX freestyle artist had the sense to wear a parachute while he performed multiple highly technical tricks as the bowl swung around and floated from Charlton Park Estate in Wiltshire over the Cotswolds, per Sky News:

“All through riding that little bike, I was like, ‘this is one that I’ll be taking to the grave’.”

Jeez, the dude even makes daring statements. Have a look, if you dare:

The Red Bull athlete, from Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, has competed in professional BMX events since 2008 and the idea to hang a skatepark high in the sky came to him during the COVID-19 lockdown (naturally).

The madman is already looking ahead to his next stunt, saying that he plans to “push it even further”.
