Partnering with esteemed riders like Nigel Smith, Mike Cookson, and Gary Bryan, he has showcased his exceptional skills and passion for speed. In 1995, Hibberd joined forces with Mike Cookson on their Ireson Honda machine for a remarkable performance at the Sidecar TT.

Not limited to just TT events, Kris also triumphed at the Southern 100 race in 2012 riding a powerful Honda machine. His lightning-fast reflexes and precise control allowed him to navigate through challenging corners with ease, leaving competitors astounded. Hibberd's partnership with Nigel Smith was equally impressive. Together they dominated various races including Parade Laps aboard BSA Hewitt bikes in both 2007 and 2009 Pre TT Classics. Their seamless coordination showcased their deep understanding of each other's abilities. The year 2007 saw another successful collaboration between Kris Hibberd and Nigel Smith as they conquered the Southern 100 on an Ireson Kawasaki machine. Their victory demonstrated not only their technical prowess but also their ability to adapt to different motorcycles. Throughout his career, Kris continued pushing boundaries alongside renowned rider Gary Bryan at the Baker Honda during the intense competition of Southern 100 in 2011.
