Hammerschmidt (Aug 24, 2012 at 17:04)

mackdaddy55 (Aug 24, 2012 at 17:27)

Not sure why we now have to compare Danny Macaskill to Chris Akrigg, their riding styles are similar in ways but entirely different, I don't think you can really say one is better than the other. This is an amazing comeback edit for Akrigg, no matter what style of bike he is on, he makes it look really good and really easy. Can't fully grasp some of the lines he rides, never mind how smooth he makes them look. I'd call it a VOD but it's bloody Vimeo.

mountainyj (Aug 24, 2012 at 18:17)

Agree with mackdaddy. Only thing similar between the two is that they're riding trials. How they interpret their terrain is entirely different. I feel like akrigg sees what is equivalent to technical singletrack while Danny sees a slope course. Danny brings in a street style and tricks which makes him fun to watch while Chris brings shear technicality and gnar, therefore making him fun to watch. PS, hope Chris is up to date on his tetnis shots, place was gnarly

I used to ride trials (obviously not to this level lol). If you have never ridden trials you have no idea how hard it is to do normally let alone on a full sus and he makes it look effortless. Massive respect for the guy. Easily the best all round rider!

nato (Aug 25, 2012 at 20:43)

CAUSE YOU HAVE TO PRELOAD caps, woops, the suspension and have more going on to think about with a full squish. It easier to hop around when you are on a rigid bike.

mtrogers-trailrun (Aug 29, 2012 at 14:34)

Think also about the amount of mass you have to move with each movement. And much squish is not all that helpful during some moves... his rear is setup super tight probably for a more positive feel.

Not only are his bike skills incredible but all of his edits are way better than the norm. The music always has a quirky tie-in with the motion and the shots are set up to fool the eye sometimes. Super entertaining.

Lapsus (Aug 24, 2012 at 16:22)

While reading the video description what stuck with me was Matt's comment about Chris Akrigg interpreting mountain bike in a unique way. It is a very insightfull comment. Chris Akrigg doesn't ride a mountain bike, he presents us with his personal interpretation of what mountain biking is. It may be obvious to some but for me this comment was an eye opener. What's even better about all his videos though is the way he reminds us that mountain bike is first and foremost about having fun. Sure his skills are insane but for me his vids are not about showing off his skills. It's all about how much fun one can have on a mountain bike. I guess that makes him even more awesome. Ride on Chris!

Akrigg never lacks imagination on a bike. The way he incorporates his biking skills into the scene, whether natural or manmade, is creative and daring. That is a real unique personal STYLE. Ever shince his first video, Akrigg has been trying to break the boundaries of MTB, and he just did a perfect job. Not everyone has the power to redefine what,how, and where we can ride.

teperovich64 (Aug 24, 2012 at 17:38)

I like at the 5:05 mark, after side-hopping off the brick house he rides towards the camera with a grin on his face.....like he really liked/was pleased with that line.

Akrigg, rocks!! He inspires me to ride whatever I feel like, and how I interpret the the line...... not to be bound by what bike I'm riding, or what the norm is. I am no way comparing myself to him, I have just always like how his videos inspire me.

thanks Chris

the-wylie-man (Aug 29, 2012 at 6:26)

When you watch him ride he can see lines that no-one else can, things that I wouldnt even notice & he's hitting and making it look easy. Id say hes one of, if not the best, all round rider I've seen on a bike. if you havent checked them out have a look at him racing on the red bull mini velodrome, or the uphill cobbled race he won, or even the fixie riding he had a go at for a while. Saw him riding at Lee Quarry in March and he was flying on the pump track they've got there.

ruckusrider74 (Aug 26, 2012 at 19:03)

Nope, no regrets what-so-ever! Sick as always.

Been a big Akrigg fan for a long time, glad to see he's back after that crash and putting it down. Chris, if you read these posts, watching you lay on the ground, that was prob. the roughest vid. I've seen on here. Congrats! Stay strong!

So, now that this has been done, wonder what McCaskill will have?? They seem to go back and forth with their vids.....

Comment on the "pingeonhole", 100% disagree and can't see why people would think that. Akrigg is mad skilled at many forms of biking, including moto and moto-trials. Personally I think he's probably the best "freerider" out there. It always seems he can litteraly make something out of nothing...even if he's just riding down a flat trail. If there's an obsticle in his way, he's already over it before I'm saying "what the F**K?"

There's more vids of him on the mongoose site if you're interested in seeing more, I tend to watch a Trail in Spain quite often, some sick rock action....it's done before his crash, but obvsiously as we can all see it didn't slow him down at all.

freeride-forever (Sep 4, 2012 at 15:48)

Holy shit there's a lot of comments on this video. f*ckin' Chris Akrigg, you crazy f*cker!!! Trials on a fully in a building that looks like it could fall on top of you!!! All I could think through that whole thing was nails through your feet & broken glass cutting your hands if you fell. It was like almost gut wrenching to watch. I was actually scared. Especially on that beam, right at the top with the front tire hooked over it & just balancing there! f*ck me!!! This was awesome. Great vision, great riding. I love the riders that really go way out've the bounds that have been almost unanimously set by the masses & do gnarly things on a FMB just because it can be done. You're up there with D Mac & Mike Mongomery bro.

f*ck all you dumb c*nts talkin' 'bout Chris is better than Danny & Danny better than Chris. They're both doing things that no one else is. Shove your stupid opinions about who's better than who straight up your asses. They're both better than all you pussies.

Looks like Chris has got his bike handling sorted and I hope very much that his day to day life isn't still impacted by the fall too.

The bike handling is superb, but what is more amazing is the line composition. 4:40 for the win!

miki-ck (Aug 24, 2012 at 12:24)

They have totally different styles. I love the whole Akrigg's approach to riding bikes, with the crazy ideas like brakeless trials for example. But to be honest his riding is probably more impressive for people who ride bikes and know how technical is the stuff his doing. Macaskill's riding seems to be really entertaining for non-biking people too.
