lopes - cross

I don't think he won this race (though he's won other recent cross races), but with his skills I guess hopping the barriers is no sweat.

Better than Adam Craig at Nat'ls this past year anyway 😀

the flat handlebars are kinda refreshing.

That dude has been on a bike more hours than some of us have had sleep in our lives.

I remember seeing him at Mt. Snow race in the 90's, he had done his runs in DS and DH, placed well and then raced either expert or pro XC. He didn't place great but was riding wheelies all over and picked off a bunch of people on the tech wooded sections.

I have some old BMX mags with pics of him killing it when he was in his early teens. That guy is good.
