Chris Akrigg has done it again – another jaw droppingly mental bit of technical trials/downhill riding on video. He’s off the brake-less trials bike and fixie and it’s back on a bouncy bike to pin it down a large hill in Spain.
Shot by respected snapper Victor Lucas, who’s gone to the dark side of moving pictures, the Mongoose sponsored rider is once again doing his own brand of high-speed, highly technical mountain biking. Massive views and mad riding – the quarry section is well worth waiting for…
@toyrobot
don’t know why but Akrigg’s stuff always seems more exciting than MacAskill imho, just seems to have more flow and hit stuff harder (again, imo)
Awesome
Not usually a big fan of “trials skills” vids but this film shows them being put to great use on big mountain riding.
love to see him ride the “calderdale tech” that so many of us here think of as “holy crap” type riding; I’m sure it would sensational to see what he could come up with…
Stairs of Doom? Some crazy manual to endo, bunny hop spinny flippy thing at warp speed more like…
langy, he does in one of his earlier videos.
Well filmed and edited….the bloke on the bike is quite good too. I would love to know how many wheels and chainrings were sacrificed for that vid though …lol
Akriggs vids just get better and better! Love it.
I think the reason he doesn’t achieve “break-out fame” (as someone put it above) is that he doesn’t do show-boating tricks like backflips etc which Joe Public loves, but other riders are not particularly impressed by. Akrigg is a real riders rider.
Calderdale trails are the 5th one down one this site

Lovely video, too.
has to be one of the best all-round bicyclists out there!
Another awesome vid from the man.
His tight switchback method is so much more fun looking than the gaye-euro-front-wheel-endo technique.
Would love to know which hill in Calpé that is
clearing the steps in one go @4:41 – utterly mental!
Wow!!!!!!
Sir Chris Akrigg……
why doesn’t my bike do that?
Great editing!
Very good video, some super smooth riding in that.
what bikes he riding doesnt look like a current mongoose ?
I’d like to know more about these ‘hill’ bits above Calpe, we were there last October visiting the parents. We asked around and in local bike shops and found nothing much of merit, certainly nothing that someone would travel to, specifically to ride.
If it is in the Calpe area, it must be around Guadalest. watching it again, there is a resevoir/lake visible, the only res/lake around Calpe is at Guadalest.
Its a 2011 Mongoose Nugget.

Some of it is above Mijas.
Great riding – bad socks!
