You’re wife’s response after the crash was absolutely amazing! Glad you’re healing up
he Back soon ❤️🥺
he love what he doing one of my favorite redbull rampage rider
It's gotta be the life insurance policy. Lol. Totally kidding. She's awesome! A keeper for sure.
@@mymorristribe with today's modern females it isn't a joke at all. oh well if i died at least i got to play with it for awhile.
You're forgetting that his wife is Rachel Strait, a powerhouse in the MTB scene in her own right. No wonder she knows how to conduct herself in those kind of scenarios.
@@megatryn I don't really follow the mtb scene, so I didn't know. All I saw was a strong and gracious woman who showed no fear.
Glad to hear you are improving. That was a nasty crash. Prayers for a fast recovery.
You’re an animal, Kyle. I live in STG and am studying Physical Therapy. I rode Kong for the first time that day and remember hearing that you crashed while on the trail. I think of you each time I ride it and I’m stoked that you are back on the bike now. I’ve always loved your riding style and hope to see you out in the desert in October!
First... Big up to the responders, medical, and all the crew, to get Kyle off the mountain, stabilized, and on the path to recovery. You're all fucking bosses in my eyes! Kyle, you're literally the Manchamp of MTB, and we love ya for it! Keep doing you big guy. Also, shut up, Lyle ❤️
So much respect for him and his wife!
Man... that "fuck" mid air was raw bro. Then you talking about taking the first hit and being like okay... and then the impact. Powerful 7:38 man. Go chill out of the gate. It takes longer to heal when you get older. Give yourself the time. You will heal. You're a legend man. Bike fans dig you, because we dig your vibe. Dig it?
dude amazing recovery im so stoked to see what you bring next year, i always love to see people ride how they like rather than to please an audience
Thanks for showing us how to stand up STRAIT again after that huge crashes, Kyle! All the healing vibes from snowy Moscow are going to you! ♡
Man do i love this guy! I WANT TO SEE HIM ON THE PODIUM ONE MORE TIME!
Hope you have a fast and good recovery to see you back on the bike soon. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do that!
Man, I had posters of you riding in my bedroom walls when you were 16 and you were already a reference for me and to a lot of other kids. I was 14 back then and saw you like "look at this crazy guy and the tricks he's doing!"
What a legend! Stay strong!
Hey Kyle, you probably don't remember but I put a DH race on at Bass Lake called the 007 series. I remember you attended the last year we had it, I think you were 16 and remember watching you come through the last set of berms before the finish line like no one else had. I have followed you ever since, prayers for a speedy recovery look forward to seeing you at Rampage next year!
You’re an inspiration brother 🤘🏼 I had a knee surgery, broken ribs and a hip replacement in the past 1.5 years - you give me the motivation to keep pushing forward!
So awesome to see you concering your fears!!! Good luck tomorrow brother!!!
Seriously you’re an inspiration for all us fellow dads. Can’t wait to see you riding in 2023!
I had the pleasure of meeting Kyle back when he had a Pivot sponsorship at Rampage that year. He was super friendly, down to earth and fun to be around. I hope he fully recovers, comes back with a vengeance and has more of the rides he knows he still has in him. They don’t get much tougher than Kyle. Heal fast and Godspeed 👍
Great getting back up. Strong mind, strong body, and great support system Bro! Thanks for sharing your triumphs and your pain!
So glad to see your recovery and the support system you had! I'm always jealous when I see that, when I broke my back most of my family and friends were the exact opposite, but it gives me hope to see that it's possible to have such a dangerous passion/career and have a positive support system. Gods speed!
Hearing how you’re recovering and how Tom made an incredible recovery is so inspiring. I’ve recently shattered my femur and I can’t wait to get back riding. Much love homie❤❤
Awesome, knew you would be good but still love to see it. You've got alot of riding left in you big dog. Nothing wrong with taking a more chill approach, or continuing to go big. Either way you're an MTB legend for life and we'll love continuing to watch your riding and content in the community.
I couldn't even watch the event after I knew Kyle wasn't in it. Idk it just took something away from it since he'd been in every one before. Worst feeling in the world, taking off and realizing as soon as you leave the lip that you're coming up short. You just tell yourself "this is going to hurt" and hold on tight to hopefully muscle out. The world's strongest man couldn't have muscled out of that one, harsh consequences for 2 feet of misjudged distance. So pumped to be watching on Insta and seeing how quickly his recovery has been going. Big Dog for the win in 23?, I hope so.
Been watching you ride rampage since the first one. Your type of riding and attitude is what Rampage is all about. Great to hear you’re on the mend. Keep it rubber-side down mate. 👍
Good lad - up back on the horse !
“Experience doesn’t make the man, it’s what the man does with the experience that make him”. - Aldous Huxley
So glad to see you up and healing. Your family is amazing. Stay up Kyle!!
Thank you for the update man.
glad to hear you’re recovering. your family and friends are top notch
You’ve been blessed that’s for sure
Big crashes take so much both physically and mentally to come back from, power to you on you journey and hope you are stronger than ever!
Glad your healing and moving forward and look forward to seeing you on the bikes again.
I can't wait to see you back on the bike Kyle! I hate watching that crash but seeing you finally get back up on your feet is inspiring.
Happy to hear your healing up quickly. I remember way back in New World Disorder III watching you and thinking, this kid is just a bit younger then me! Great to see you still killing it and getting back on the bike. Happy trails!
You are a fucking beast!!!Cheers and have a nice Christmas!!!
All the good healing vibes are being sent to you here in Brazil!!!
Hope see you riding next year!!!cheers
"All yrs" perfect song to your wife's comments I'm not gonna elaborate on that but if you know you know. Does my heart good to see you've healed, have a great ride man 👊.
Kyle you're real iron man! After crash like that! Much respect! Keep yourself healthy!
Good family and friends!!.
Cowboys never die. True inspiration as a father, rider, and husband. Thanks for being you Kyle🙏🏻
God bless you Kyle! I pray you have a speedy and complete recovery!
I broke two vertebrae in my lower back snowboarding 20 years ago and to this day I’m doing exercises to keep that back in shape.
Glad to see you’re doing good, but don’t rush back into things!
Hey Kyle and Rach, So glad to see you are on the mend man. Definitely the right move to get back on the bike. Would have eaten you up, retiring after that stack, no matter how bad it was. All the best for 2023.
Positive vibes and prayers continue to come your way Kyle!! You are a tough human and inspiration to many keep getting stronger 🙏🏼
So happy to hear you're fully intending on coming back to the game. Can't wait to see you throwing the biggest suey's know to man at Rampage. You're the man Kyle.
The St. George hospital orthos are the shit
Hats off to those folks
Wow, the positive energy really goes through the screen!
Thanks for the good vibes and best wishes of recovery and for the future!
The boa feeling...been there. Same day Bulldog broke his back I broke a bunch of ribs and my back at Sugar. Glad you are on the mend man.
Third times a charm .don’t press you’re luck .long life to live .don’t do it in a wheelchair.good luck 👍👍👍
Speedy recovery 🙏
Great news Kyle...glad you're on the mend.
You are the man Kyle! Stoked to hear you are on the road back to shredding!
Best news that you’re doing well! So glad to hear you’re stoked to get back on the bike rampage isn’t rampage with out you Kyle! Keep getting stronger and merry Christmas
Broken back is no fun man...July 31st I broke T12 & L1 (wedge compression fractures), left fibula in 2 places, right ring finger & tore up my knee all in 1 MX crash. I'm 39. Friends loaded up my bike & gear but I drove my rig & son 1 hour home in a stick-shift Jeep...that sucked 😂. I can deal with broken extremities but anything with your back is scary and makes you pause & think a little. I'd say we're lucky because it could have been a lot worse. Heal up proper boss & come back strong 'cause you know we're gonna' keep doing what we love. BALLS OF STEEL!!!
Yewww! Merry Christmas you guys! Happy to see you healing so quick 🤘🏼
And now you're riding Hardline mate! Absolute weapon. Can't wait to watch you race mate 🤙
God damn! Thats so gnarly! Love too watch you shred. So hard to watch gou wreck. Kyle you're the man!!
I don't have any other way of following people other than CZcams so I've been waiting like crazy for this update. Been praying for you dude, hope you're enjoying Christmas.
God bless
A damn GOAT of a wife you got there kyle! Hope the recovery goes smooth, cheers!
We love you Kyle! So glad you are walking away from that one. Let’s ride together soon.
I've been watching you since day one and you have always inspired me to keep sending it. Can't wait to see you back on that bike.
This was a tuff watch. I am happy your going to be back. Your channel is the best for red bull rampage hype. Get after it son. I am bummed I will not get a chance to pick up one of those neon paint job bikes. That was a sweet ride but the new ride I am sure will be dope as wlll
Hi Rachel and Kyle. It's Roger and Susan with the Air B and B in La Verkin, Utah. Thank you for the update, we are glad that Kyle is improving, we were worried about how this was going to effect your family? Susan is also a survivor of a difficult accident in 2015 and we understand how this can effect families. and looks your family are true warriors? and It also looks like you will be back in no time doing what you love? This is good news to us! and we wish your family well. Come back and visit us sometime.
You are a living bike legend.
One of the most badass sports on the planet with some of the most badass athletes. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery man!

Nice to hear recovery is progressing well, Childers helps get me through my troubles
Good luck bro. Always love seeing you and Zink at Rampage. Can’t wait for you to get back and send that dream line. I’m pulling for you.
Broke 5 vertebrae in an OTB crash on 7/3/22 and fighting a similar fight to you but age is not on my side. Next step for me is conquering my mind. Good luck for '23.
That’s heavy man. Glad you’re your recovery is going well and look forward to watching you crush it next year 🤘🏻
Wow. Incredible and powerful video. Amazing to see your recovery going well, no doubt there’s good days and bad days. Glad to see you’ll be riding again soon.
Keep going bro and ride on. God bless.
Not of but when. Glad he is ok. Typically after those surgeries, the back is never the same. Glad he can walk!! Recovery time
Thanks for the unvarnished update Lyle. Stoked you're on the mend.
Fast recovery!
The Half Baked line was classic!😂
Good bless that beautiful angel of wife you have champ 🙌🏻♥️
Great news!! Keep the videos coming. Loving the old school country music vibe 🤘🏼
Glad you're recovering so quickly, keep on that path man!
That double drop was massive! Just pedaling off that kicker ledge looked insane. Glad to see your riding again!
Get well. You are a hero to a lot of people cheers
You are a beast and an inspiration! Glad you "walked away" from it!
It is a miracle that nothing more happened during the impact. Good that everything is back in line and you can continue to live your dreams. You don't want to imagine what your wife must have felt at that moment.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the update. Glad to hear the recovery is going so well. The most worthwhile things come from the hardest work.
