Mongoose pro rider Chris Akrigg goes for a ride on his bike…
It’ll either make you inspired to ride, or want to hide your bike in the shed.
Chris was interviewed in Issue 50 of Singletrack, still available to buy in the Shop – and Singletrack Premier users can read it now.
I think i’ll hide in the shed with my bike.
Aceness. I love watching that guy ride.
Yep, that boy can ride
where was it
Awesome stuff, just shows you don’t need a trials cycle to ride like that. Well, he doesn’t anyway….
as my other half always says ‘real trials bikes do have suspension’
I keep rminding him they also have engines but then i also keep reminding him to pick his dirty socks up but he doesnt listen to that either….
Mightily impressive. A joy to watch.
right, im off out for a ride. thanks!
wow, brilliant riding, lovely UK countryside as well
roughneck – a lot / all of its Calderdale I think. Recognise the Gorple reservoirs, Lumb Falls etc… so my local stomping ground which is a bit of a pisser because I can’t ride it quite as well as CA!
Great vid, love his style! Anyone know the music?
looks like cow and calf@Ilkley Moor, shipley glen/the woods below Harden Moor maybe and at the end he comes out of lee lane and down to the Malt Shovel @ Harden for a pint. not sure about the res. or bridge
v.good.
His best vid yet I think
stunning yet again.
Great mix of the truly impressive and stuff us mere mortals can aspire to just like the original ‘Dirt’ video of many years ago.
Thats how I imagine stuff can be ridden when I look at it, all subtle shifts and control.
Man he makes it look smooth…
my jaw dropped on a few occasions watching that. Technically snazzy.. i’m sure he’s running his sus pretty hard on that bike.
blimey, no wonder he always rides on his own
i’m not worthy
All very well, but he still drinks shandy
;o)
