MTB prodigy Kyle Strait on winning Red Bull Rampage, birth of Freeriding & bike industry collapse

I am joined in studio by Mountain bike Legend Kyle Strait. In my early days as a fan of mountain biking, Kyle was a child prodigy that served as an inspiration to a generation. From one of the most talented junior racers to ever come out of America, to Dirt Jump contents, dual slalom and eventually Freeriding, Kyle Strait could do it all. He’s also a massive fan of moto and has bridged off into coaching, trail build and even promoting his own races
