Sometimes old dogs don’t need to learn any new tricks. At forty years old, Brian Lopes can teach today’s crop of racers a thing or two. This GoPro footage was taken during a practice run for the Crankworx Whistler Air DH. A race run down the venerable A-Line. He came in second, 3.75 seconds behind Canadian Steve Smith, a rider 17 years his junior!
Watch legend John Kirkcaldie throw down some old school DH style on the famously rock Tunnel trail, found in Santa Barbara.
This clip is compiled from footage which wasn’t deemed good enough for a new DVD segment Chad Kerley is currently filming. Song lyrics are NSFW.
