I'm sure this is how dad did it.

Upside down Kris. First
experiences seeing the world from a different perspective. Notice the tight grip on

Kris at 13 months. The idea
was to be seated like all the rest of the thousands of children before. However,

Mom thinks he knows something she
should know. |

Kris dedicated to defying
gravity. His friend, Erik, said that Kris could get so angry when not able to do a
stunt that he would toss his bike through the air into the bushes. But as long as
you did not make direct eye contact with Kris, his anger would subside and he would be up
and going on perfecting the same stunt a few minutes later. |
 |

& 2 years old. Getting ready for those larger bike tricks. |
