His name is Brian Lopes!
Who would think that you would get a call to go to the jumps to meet up with the man, the myth the legend!
Honestly I have always heard negative comments about him, making him sound like an unlikable guy, but he was very cool there. Just jumping and having fun, he even seemed pretty down to earth. Granted it wasn't a race atmosphere and he was pretty relaxed. He was giving people pointers and they would just try it and not question a thing!
Quick and dirty photoshop work

) and then it was time to session. Luckily a non rider friend of mine was there and snagged a few decent photos...but not quite as nice as MB's. Anyways Brian rides so fast it's incredible. He's blurred in every picture, and knowing the speeds from experience I could not believe how fast he came into the lines. I was on my big bike because my hardtail is having some issues but I was feeling on. The highlight for me was Brian asking me for beta on the outside line. I don't think he needed it, cause he dialed it on his first try, but i got a kick out of it. I gotta say I was tottally humbled by his skills. He made the jumps seem so rookie somehow. A whole nother level I guess.
