Chris Akrigg's As It Lies - Behind The Scenes - Video

 Hey follow my line!! Ehhh fuck no!!

 Some filthy techno for the next edit would be banging!

 Obviously I knew they do a lot of takes, but when you watch videos I always imagine they are just riding along, that's the funnest part of the illusion, like you could just ride down the hillside pulling moves like this.

 This video was super fun. It is really fascinating to see the progression of the trial run. Plus the laugh of Chris after barely missing a injury is exuberating.

 Chris is a bloody legend. I love these videos that show that the pros are human after all. Gives all us Hacks the inspiration to keep pushing the our own boundaries. If you don't succeed, try and try again.

 These fails are great, but they still don't do justice to the difficulty of the lines. To clean those lines with that kind of flow takes perfect tire and pedal placement, ie. years of practice as a trials rider and sessioning the same line for ages.

 I wonder how often he is swapping out forks on his bikes given the number of bails on some of the difficult and tricky stunts he attempts. Hello rock meet fork stanchion. Okay, Fox, I think I need another fork, this one is toast.

 I'll echo my previous comment on the previous article: THIS is what free ride should be all about. I mean the way he works to pull of those transitions (i.e. the manual on the rock + drop off) on whatever *natural* obstacle he finds is incredible: just look at that nose press into that tight switchback (0:32).
And yeah - bummer that her hurt himself again... here are my vibes to a speedy and full recovery Chris!!

 He's a case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, put him on a bike and he goes wild.

 Watching this makes you appreciate the clean edit so much more. Practice makes perfect for Akrigg. Practice makes practice makes practice for me.

 That's some insane talent and skill from all three of them to pull that off. Went back for a second watch

 So you ARE human after all!

 Get better soon ,well down to earth rider ,must be hours and hours practice for years and years and masses of Talent ,one of the best ,and I love the Mongoose .Peachy.

 friggin love Chris Akrigg!!!!

 What is it with these Scottsmen and all their shenanigans on bicycles? Is the beer, sheep or cold weather? Seriously what's going on across the pond and how do they churn out such hard core riders?

 Even watching his crash edits and hearing him talking makes me want to get out and ride. For me he is the most inspiring rider. Ever.

 thanks, this made my day!

 This guy is absolutely incredible on bike.

 Hate being that geeky commenter but Chris, thank f*ck for guys like you. Heal up quick and give us a trials edit

 Excellent. Get well soon Chris you crazy diamond.

 Possibly the only pro that could make me want to buy a Mongoose

 Chris is an artist. Love this guy. It is not all about racing or dropping of the rampage course.

 Wow. Even heroes fall. They just get back up and kick ass!

 I really can't get over how much I like the look of his bike. It looks really really good.

 tenacious rider for sure.

 True RockHopper...dope trail blazing style

 Like I really like this video like... like once its like been heard it can not like be unheard

 Love this guy! So Sick!

 Chris has turned himself into a legend! I love it!

 2:28, how is that even remotely possible?

 His anger when he crashes reminds me of me

 Can't wait. Gotta git that rock bruh. So doable. You totally had it!

 Keeping it real
