So Alex Rankin just sent me a little clip of BL jumping the double step down that no one else attempted in Austria...mega dildos/props were given to the old geezer Lopez as he did this in the qualifier, which resulted in being the #1 qualifier and he eventually winning the race.
So check the link, its a .mov file, about 3mb.
Even though all you RM haters dislike Alex's music and think Lopes is an a$$, its worth lookin at anyway...there is 2 clips of the runs, one in practice and one is the actual qualifier (where he does his best Buck Rogers imitation).

pppfff. hes slow

 

[dump]

great form... super low on the airs... thanks for the vid.

 

[Jamsoul]

in my dreams I can rail a hard tail that smooth... BL is still fast as sh!t

 

[zerossix]

any one who can try and deny how good he is is insane. just look at how silly smooth he hits the first double.

 

[Jayridesacove]

mega dildos/props

mega dildos?

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

mega dildos?

Yeah....What?

 

[stiksandstones]

Yeah....What?

Sorry bout that, its a spin on that loser Rush Limbaugh's "mega dittos" thing his annoying callers do when they call in.

So put the gun down-everything is going to be ok.

 

[Jayridesacove]

Ah, that's why I don't get it.

 

[sn0wboarder]

anyone know what that song is?

 

[WheelieMan]

Pshh, just wait and see what Angel Fire has in store for those guys!

 

[JTVW]

omg, that first double was soooooo smooth.
I think I just soiled myself.

Oh and lopes is one baaaad motha for hittin that step down, but really, who else?

 

[Bicyclist]

That's a sweet video. Thanks for posting!

 

[DHanamal]

Wow talk about a sketchy set, BL makes it look too too easy.

 

[ZoRo]

BL, can't be a hater, the guy is just to smooth and fast+he is old school! Crazy step down by the way and good save on the last jump!!!

 

[mtbpaint1]

thats how 4X courses should be made, no more crappy rocky berms and jumps(cough Mount Snow uncough) wimpy doubles, tiny tables, not steep enough

 

[Greyhound]

Thanks, stick. I could study that clip fuh-evah(fuh-evah,evah?)....there's a lot more going on there than at first glance. Great form to study.

 

[bizutch]

that was sickness...he over jumped the last 2 jumps on the course...friggin' hiiiiyuuugeeee!!!

 

[***MTB***]

great form... super low on the airs... thanks for the vid.

same, thanks

 

[theFOOT]

i wish i could ride as smooth as he did on that first double holy ****!

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

What if.... what if... what if.... SOMEBODY tried to do the WHOLE step-down, all three drops?

 

[theFOOT]

they would need to be going pretty darn fast, i'd say

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

the man is so good. i wish he would diversify a bit instead of just racing mtx and dh though...

 

[dw]

that was pretty bad-ass. The pre jump drop to double sequence must have been a lot of fun.

 

[DRB]

Stik what are you doing on the internet? Shouldn't you be playin' your roll as punchin' bag to your pregnant wife.

 

[Bicyclist]

the man is so good. i wish he would diversify a bit instead of just racing mtx and dh though...

He also does a lot of DJing and some "freeriding." Have you seen his back yard? All dirt jumps.

 

[Mattoid]

Lopes is the anti-smooth.

 

[stiksandstones]

Like racing his road bike, or racing the velodrome, or racing XC, or doing trials, or freeriding, Adventure ride trips, or BMX, or Motocross, or BMX Downhill...I would say he is the most diversified rider ever to make a living from bicycles.

Yo...its a lot easier to be on RM now a days since I am online all the time watching the orders for my store come in. As for Leigh, the pregnant thing is cool, I havent experienced any of the weird emotional BS all my friends warned me about...but she is near perfect anyway so I was not too worried.

 

[kidwoo]

Lopes is the anti-smooth.

Glad I'm not the only one. There's a definite safety jump in there along with the standard BL muscle around.

I am struck with how big those jumps are though. They look sizable in the video and we all know how second hand media causes shrinkage.

 

[LOOnatic]

anyone know what that song is?

Its a song from a guy called "Diplo" which is short for Diplonicus.
The album is freakin crazy good with serious BOOMage.

 

[caballero]

thanks for the video link.....
lopes jumping over 2 of the stairs (as you can see at the end of the video) was one of the sickest things ive ever seen...i walked the course couple of times and couldnt believe that he really did this...absolutely crazy ... he was the only rider to jump this...all the other riders hat to slow down a bit an take all the 3 stairs step by step ..

 

[Joe]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeetttt

 

[Joe]

The song is Diplo, Money Power Respect

btw hth tbh
