If you forgot why this guy had the nickname Flyin' Brian Lopes, this should help you remember. HAULING THE TRAIL MAIL!
Info about Lopes' bike in this video
Bike: Ibis Mojo HD
Suspension: X-Fusion
Wheels: Novatec Diablo 26
Brakes: Magura MT8 Brakes
From :09 to :20 it's an access trail linking parts of Aliso and Wood Canyon park in Laguna Beach. The uphill rock he cleans is up a very steep climb. Simply amazing. The rest of the footage is from a very popular DH trail in Laguna Beach - in descending order on the trail. As for the comment below "Most would not be that fast on a DH bike," Lopes has proved that by winning the annual (underground) race on the same trail for the last 6+ years - on a 5-6" trailbike and single crown fork. Dude's fast up and down.

Just re-watched this for the first time since it was posted. I do believe this was our first look at a Mojo HDR!!!

It's crazy to me that there are people who might not know that. I'm getting old

Humbling pretty much sums it up - location check?

I've watched that 4 times and I'm still blown away. Most would not be that fast on a dh bike.

Showing people that more than 4 inches is unnecessary on most trails...

I might be wrong but that looks like a Mojo HD with an X-Fusion Vengeance fork...so I'm guessing it's 6 inches

It took me a full year to come up with a come-back for this (JK just saw it reposted) but, he didn't bottom out
Nah I just was being an idiot.

Like a surgeon with a scalpel, precise and committed. He looks faster now than he's ever looked, and that's saying something. Get him on a DH bike?

I think there is a brake malfunction on his bike, that was just too dang fast.

Respect to one of the all time greatest riders on the planet.
