In his latest release, Scottish BMX rider and Endura athlete Kriss Kyle brings his inimitable BMX style to a new mountain bike trail that is unlike any other, imagined, designed and purpose built by one of the world’s most versatile and scintillating riders.

Funded by Scottish cycling brand Endura, the Dreamline is more than just a riding trail, it is Kriss’ dream turned into mud, an MTB x BMX mash-up, sculpted from compact dirt. Designed and crafted to Kyle’s vision by renowned bike park builder and mud artist Gregor Jolliffe, Kriss Kyle’s Dreamline is located in up-and-coming Glassie Bike Park, on top of a hillside overlooking the picturesque Scottish town Aberfeldy.
Aptly named “The Dreamline”, Endura have built a trail for Kriss that pushes the boundaries of dirt sculpting and trail building to help set new benchmarks of two-wheeled creativity by the inventor himself. Breaking down barriers between BMX and mountain biking, Kriss blurs the boundaries between two disciplines to show that all you need is the right gear and the right attitude.
Kriss Kyle states: “The thinking behind the Dreamline project was to do something totally different that suits my unique riding style and BMX background. I wanted to build a downhill skatepark, with waterpipes and features that you wouldn’t see at your average MTB trail. I think we’ve pulled it off, it’s literally a dream come true.”
Best known for dropping out of helicopters and riding bmx bowls under hot air balloons at 2,000 ft, for the first time you can follow the tyre marks of one of the world’s best riders as Endura leave a barrier breaking legacy on home turf. Endura & Kriss have invested in the local Scottish riding infrastructure with this new trail to inspire other riders to push their own riding to new levels. Like all trails at Glassie Bike Park, the Dreamline is open to the public for free – donations via a QR Code at the car park are welcome and go directly into the upkeep of this riding destination. A word of warning, though: this rideable piece of art it is not for the faint-hearted, as you can see for yourself in the BMX star’s new edit.
“For me, it’s all about giving back to the community” says Kriss Kyle. “This one hits super special as it’s in the homeland, in Scotland, and it’s also there to stay which is absolutely amazing. When people watch the edit and think “I wish I could ride that” – well this time, Aye Y’Can, you can come up and ride it and have as much fun as I do. The Dreamline will bring more people up there riding, so it gets more people onto bikes which is a win win for everyone.”
Scotland's BMX maestro isn't just pushing the limits on two wheels, he's also rewriting the rulebook on style – in his edit Kriss is rocking the brand new, limited edition KK Signature collection which launches today on endurasport.com.
Kriss's approach to riding resonates with Endura’s passion for self-expression on two-wheels, and the fundamental joy of the ride. This collab is a celebration of that shared obsession.
