Our Philosophy

Built on Passion, Driven by Community: Welcome to Strait Acres

Established in 2016, Strait Acres came to life when Kyle and Rachel Strait purchased their dream property in East County San Diego! It all began as a platform to highlight the property builds and ignite enthusiasm within the riding community. In 2020, as most race events worldwide were postponed, Kyle and Rachel conceived the idea of hosting an exclusive slalom event at their home! The rest, as they say, is history.

The Founders

A vision and dream become reality

Strait Acres was born from a shared dream between Kyle and Rachel Strait—to create a space where passion for riding, creativity, and community could come together in one incredible location. From the moment they found their East County San Diego property in 2016, the vision was clear: build more than just trails—build a place that inspires. What started as a personal project quickly became a platform to elevate the riding scene, bring people together, and celebrate the spirit of competition in a welcoming, grassroots environment. Strait Acres is a dream realized, and it continues to grow with every rider who joins the journey.

Speed is the thrill, style is the expression, and safety is the foundation. At Strait Acres, we ride with all three in mind.
