The guy is an absolute legend. The scary thing is that that isn't even his race run, which was probably even faster.

Thats pretty amazing, the speed through some of those sections was scary. Make me realise how rubbish I am though ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

the 2nd half when he going it alone - holy ****, how fast? My brain wouldn't work fast enought to process that, never mind the complete lack of skill.

cheers for posting that - excellent clip.

That is fast...video normally slows down you riding too!

Have you seen the [url=

He's cruising! I was taking photos of the Air DH in 2008 and his speed in a race run is something else, no idea how he scrubs those jumps like that.

That video was 4:38 long, whereas his race run was 4:15, I believe.

I love how he scrubs those jumps.

I've done some all day XC epics that covered less ground than that run!

Amazing as previous said the 3.40 bit where he is hammering with a cliff next to him is nuts... and inspiring. His book is well worth ยฃ12 you might not be doing what he is doing but great tips

OMG that trail is smooth and so awesome.

I met Lopes at the Mega a few years back on the main course in practice and he seemed like a good bloke; he was in awe of the course and being quite humble about the number of 'crazy europeans' who hammer the course.
