Esperanto athlete Kyle Strait might be best known for his mind-bending Rampage runs or hitting massive booters on camera, but day-to-day, he’s just another rider looking to have a good time. Sure, he’s often on long-travel bike out there hitting the biggest features, but there’s plenty of time in his schedule to get out for a rip on his backyard jumps on a little bike. He says: "For 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?” Make sure to catch Strait’s segment alongside Cam Zink and Darren Berrecloth in TGR’s new MTB film Esperanto.
