BMX Rider Kriss Kyle Performs World-First Jump Over Moving F1 Car

Scottish BMX rider Kriss Kyle successfully completed the world's first jump over a moving Formula 1 car, a Red Bull RB7 driven by former F1 champion David Coulthard. The stunt required precise timing and significant height to clear the car's rear wing, with Kyle practicing extensively using motion capture technology and a trusted driver for consistent speed and positioning. The jump, performed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed after initial weather-related delays, was executed with a custom-built kicker ramp designed by Red Bull Technologies to achieve the necessary clearance. Photographer Dan Griffiths captured striking images of the stunt, enhancing the visual impact through creative editing to convey motion. Despite the high risks involved, including potential injury and damage to the $10 million F1 car, Kyle described the experience as one of the scariest of his career, highlighting the intense pressure behind the seemingly effortless trick. Red Bull documented the event in a 10-minute video featuring other drivers, emphasizing their continued commitment to extreme, high-profile stunts.
