Kris has always been different, he grew up as a trial rider, but after getting more and more in to BMX and FMX he put his tights on the shelf. He got more talent then most of the guys in the FMX scene, and a style that riders would kill for. After some hard years of injuries and bad luck he is finally back for real. And we all hope to see him back in the game for real.
