<b>Zink and Strait. BFF's, Crankworx 2006-ish.</b> -gordo
<b>Apparently Cam Zink showed Kyle the proper method to install Sensus grips when no hairspray or air-compressor is available. Zip-ties and muscle.</b> -Fred
<b>Strait steeze. Teva Games, 2007.</b> -gordo
<b>2016 Rampage winning bike? </b> -Fred
<b>Rampage 2006. Sven and I rented a 400mm 2.8 lens. It weighed like 69lbs and folded my crappy Wal-Mart tripod. This pic was worth it. Seeing the little rocks stacked for the take-off is a nice little detail.</b> -gordo
<b>Kyle's new Supreme DH V4. While not available just yet, COMMENCAL is taking pre-orders for the 2016 beast, which will be available mid-February. </b> -Fred
<b>Bike shop essentials.</b> -Fred
<b>I love barspins. Strait was really good at them and one of the few riders to do them in critical places back in the day. Crankworx 2005 or 2006. (Rare heavy rains for SoCal in the audio background.)</b> -gordo
<b>Woodward West 2005. Good times. Gareth Dyer was there that day, too.</b> -gordo
<b>Crankworx 2004 or 2005. Don't remember. I do remember Strait blasting. Back when DH bikes at Crankworx were an option.</b> -gordo
<b>Sir Lyle Kensington III's new front license plate. </b> -Fred
<b>Bring on the rain!</b> -Fred
<b>NORBA National in Idaho where Strait raced as a Junior because the UCI made him.</b> -gordo

Description

Kyle Strait. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 15-years or don't follow mountain biking at all, you've heard of him and we'll spare you the introduction. Having recently moved from Costa Mesa to Alpine, CA, which is nestled in rural San Diego county, we got the opportunity to speak with Kyle during our visit to the COMMENCAL USA office. Check out the full interview, photos from the visit and some old-school bangers in the slideshow above.
