What is up Gypsy Gang! Joining me on the podcast today is legendary Mountain Bike rider Brian Lopes. Lopes was the king of the 4 cross and dual slalom world when I was a young mountain bike racer and he was the epitome of competitiveness and cool. In this episode of the podcast we talk about his early days racing BMX in SoCal with guys like Jeremy McGrath, his transition into mountain biking, pioneering the industry, the sponsors of the 90’s, it’s transition to e-bikes and pedal assist, his time training the Troy Lee Designs team and much more.
Lopes is one of the goats on the MTB work and it’s unreal to get his voice here on Gypsy Tales.
Before we get into this episode though,I just wanted to let you know that the Gypsy 500 in Mesquite Nevada is officially sold out, BUT, if you did miss out on entering the race we are extending the event to include some activities on Friday. We will be doing a Gypsy 50 race, which will be a 50 lap pit bike race that you are able to enter and we will also be doing a live podcast right after. As well as this the Red Bull crew will be bringing the entertainment and we will be kick starting the weekend right that night! So even if you aren’t racing, come and add to the fun!
