Coming from a BMX racing legacy, it is not surprising that Kye has been so successful in his career. Beginning his cycling days at age 4, his passion for cycling was evident from his talent emerging early and getting him attention from those in the BMX racing world. Kye’s talent escalated rapidly with him making it to the national selection and then going on to win multiple medals in his sport. These medals and celebrations were just preparation for what Kye would experience in Tokyo this summer.
