What's With the Newb?! Kyle Strait Has a Tough First Day at Summit Bike Park 3

Created by MTB superstars Kyle and Rachel Strait in response to multiple competition cancellations during the 2020 season, the inaugural Strait Acres Slalom Invitational featured a who's who of US pro riders competing at the Strait's personal dual slalom track for backyard bragging rights.

After an overwhelmingly positive response to their homegrown event, Kyle and Rachel are partnering with Summit Bike Park and Team Big Bear to bring their vision and track design to a larger venue in 2021. This year's Strait Acre Slalom Invitational, set for July 30 - Aug 1, will coincide with Team Big Bear's Gravity Festival and feature 32 of the world's top pro men and women racing head-to-head at Summit Bike Park for $20,000 in total prize money. Amateurs and spectators are also welcome.

Pre-registration for the Strait Acres dual slalom and Gravity Festival DH and Enduro races is required and now available on the Team Big Bear Website
