mikeyk (May 22, 2010 at 6:49)

I have no words.... ok, now I do... is there anything that CA can't do on a bike? (or at least try? lol) Can't wait to see the follow up to the "huck off a sketchy-improvised-ramp built on a crumbling wall, to wall tap on a derelict house over a 15 foot pit of old Tetleys tea bags and cans of Super Tennants" I love the total lack of glamour. Epic as always.

StefanGlander (May 24, 2010 at 11:54)

did you come up with all of that at once or what?^^^

bigbigbike (May 24, 2010 at 10:19)

why are VODS coming from things that have been posted on the home page for 3 days? I understand that they are good videos but everyone on here had the opportunity to watch it for 3 days. I always thought that VOD was for user submitted video, or something that didn't make the front page news.

And in no way am I saying that this isn't VOD quality stuff, just that it was already posted on the front page and now it gets VOD.

Chris Akrigg is a total legend, these Mongoose vids are one of the most consistently brilliant things we get to see online, I'm always excited when I see a new one is out.

Quinn-39 (May 24, 2010 at 20:42)

Well they've gotta do something right... and Akrigg seems to be delivering!

That last wall tap looks like the sketchiest thing ever. Exactly the terrain that hardtails are made for!

Holy shit! Where's the shot of him making that last trick?

willsoffe (May 24, 2010 at 2:58)

It will come in the next Mongoose vid I expect. Hence why it said "to be continued" at the end

TheRo0sTer (May 24, 2010 at 23:44)

I understood the "To be Continued," I was asking where it can be found. Thank you for the answer.
