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?

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.

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?

That kind of riding is just on a whole other level.

Foook Lopes is still rapid!!! The pedal uphill step up was pretty impressive.

Holy Hell! I don't even know what to say, that was so incredibly fast!

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

I've got Lopes in my name,but the speed didn't came with it.
Respect to one of the all time greatest riders on the planet.
