Video: Kyle Strait Rides His Meta HT

Words: Commencal

We all know Kyle Strait for his FRS Rampage runs. But day-to-day he’s just a normal guy who likes to change things up... And what better way to do that than by choosing the META HT AM!

bigquotesFor me it’s not always a full on race every time I ride. I don’t need to go Mach 10 on all trail rides. I found that I can have more fun on my local trails and fine tune my skills on the META HT. Picking the right line keeps me focused all while being able to keep up on the climbs with my fitter friends. The META HT has a slacker head angle which makes it feel very similar to my other bikes. I’m thinking about making a hardtail gang, who wants in?”Kyle Strait

 How freaking cool is Kyle Strait? An un-hateable ride style, absolutely what every rider strives to move like...casual stompage

Him and Will White man....California old school stompers

 Weird to think that song is 50+ years old and probably in the Public Domain now....

 Sabbath, a very fair choice. But nothing beats the Loosefest edit made in 2019:

 Proving once again that hardtails can do anything, even if you don’t have a BMX background.

 Strait also has a BMX background.
"The 30-year-old pro from Alpine, California competes in speed and style, slopestyle, dual slalom, dirt jumping and downhill events, and he’s also raced BMX." (www.notubes.com/stories/meet-kyle-strait)

So only a BMX background will let you get away with that on a hardtail ;-)

 Nice bike, nice edit. Good to see some quality HT action.

 Finally some decent tunes and a hardtail to boot! It’s almost like a mountain bike website I used to frequent! Big Grin

 Big kyle fan here but let's be honest, this was less than impressive in terms of riding. There are plenty of lesser known riders that would've trashed that hardtail rear rim as if their lives depended on it. I'd much rather see that.
