Kyle Strait Takes Dual Slalom At Crankworx

9.8.2009

From Freestyler To Racer, Strait Upsets Brian Lopes in Finals.

An amazing sunset through the clouds set the dramatic stage on a Dual Slalom course built to perfection. Kyle Strait, focusing on the race scene this year, upset Brian Lopes to win the 2009 Kokanee Crankworx Dual Slalom. The gates dropped to fast-paced action and big crashes.

With Kyle having only a slight lead going into the final match up, it was anyone's race. When the dust settled and it was all over, Strait had the upset, continuing his comeback and proving he is a top racer.

"I just rode as fast and as smooth as I could. You can't think too much about the race, you need to just ride," said Strait. "It's awesome to get a good result like this. I'm not doing Slopestyle this year and I'm much more relaxed and enjoying my racing."

In the Pro Men category, Kyle Strait took first place, Brian Lopes took second place, Johannes Fischbach took third and Neko Mullaly took fourth.
