VIDEO: X-Fusion Presents – The Brian Lopes Story

The great thing about our sport is that there’s now enough history to be able to create some really great, interesting and inspiring stories. Brian Lopes has been riding, racing and winning for 40 years now (yes! really!) and so one of his sponsors, X-Fusion decided it was time to lay down the full history of Brian’s riding life in film.

Did you know why he rides with the number 55 on his jersey? Did you know how old he was when he got his first BMX sponsorship deal? When he turned pro? When he switched from BMX to MTB? This 10 minute film is well worth your time so get a brew, grab your sandwiches and sit back and watch this heart warming history lesson of one of the greatest riders we’ve ever seen as he talks us through his life.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
