The Bay Bmx sat down with Kyle Frazier to do a Q&A.Kyle is another bad ass dude who keeps it real. He is an all around type rider. Kyle could be riding a skatepark, Shredding a street spot, Or roasting a set of trails depending on the day. Kyle is from Richmond,Ca.. He tends to ride his neck of the woods, But has ventured all over the Bay and further on his bike riding all types of spots.

Kyle doesn't get involved in the politics of bmx, He rides for the fun of it and enjoys kicking it with the homies, And doing the most on a daily basis.Kyle is all about making the most of spots, Coming up with unique lines and is being creative. Kyle has a very controlled and smooth style that's enjoyable to watch. He also has icepick grinds on lock, Some of the best i have seen, Even up to par with S&M's Josh Stricker.

So in a nutshell, Here is what he had to say when i sent over the questions. Thanks to Kyle for being down to do this, And to his homie Stephen Hawk for the awesome pictures.

                 Kyle has a good eye for lines, Here he does a stylish footplant on a tree in Berkeley.
