i give you props brakeless....
i give you props brakeless....
That, my friend was an awsome video, i wasnt expecting him to hit the camera at 227, that was halrious, sweet riding song fits perfectly and good simple editing, sweet video man. "who took my brakes off, that's dangerous" hahahahaha
good to see some bails, we seem to forget that people make mistakes and all we ever seem to see are these flawless vids...
well in my first comment i was talking to the rider who is from england i wasnt commenting to the world ??
i know evry body in the world reads this but i was talkin to the rider so it dosent matter if the world can read it or not
look this is a stupid argument lets lave it out k?

awesome trials - loved the swing turn and the backwards bunnyhop onto the front tire which was just ridiculous - keep it up man -
Chris is so freaking tech on his bike and the fact that this is brakeless is mind blowing to me. Keep up the sick riding.
Unfortunately thiswont get vod because he doesnt have a helmet on for parts of it! How gay is that! It's amazing for him to be able to do stuff like that without brakes!
He clearly has some sort of telepathic coaster brake or something. Please tell me that's it, because otherwise, I really suck.

that's so sick... usually it is said that good brakes are required for trials... guess they're not 
superb skills
superb skills
This guy is from a different plannet where the laws of physics don't apply! It's the only explanation.

Shure good riding but this kid is going to die very soon he didnt use helmet half the time and very soon something is going to happen and he i going to get f*cked up!
I just came home from a ride, had a shower, watched this. And now I have to go back out again, it made me wanna ride more!

I don't think riding brakeless is cool. But he is one amazing rider with or without them and its cool to see someone thinking outside the box AND getting paid to ride.
Props to Chris!

Pro trials riders are awsome to watch do their stuff, seeing it brakeless just brings it to another level far beyond awsome, I can't even think of a word for it - every time someone catches this guy on camera, it should be VOD!
watched it 5times by now. really fun to look at, espacially fooling around in beginning and trough the movie
Nice man.
Nice man.

That was the most pointless minutes of my life. Rubbish pod. All this video proves is that he can fall of a bike.
i think actually you deserved it. Ackrigg's actually brakeless, if you had no brakes you'd probably fall off, he also aint scared of showing you when he fails. The vid shows that he's actually progressing, so 'thomasowen', Shut it.
I know he's brakeless, he should start using brakes and he'd progress and be a much better rider.
Please people, stop trying to start an arguement on a website, its just stupid and your not 'Clever' for doing it. The whole point of comments is to post my veiws on something.

Brakeless with a freewheel is pretty reckless.
I don't know if it can be found on PB but part 1 is better if you ask me. Check out Akrigg's website for it.

wow you have got some serious skills. I've never seen anything like it! It was like street/trials. It was all trials stunts but all done with the flow and bike of street riding. Very unique and entertaining. Props for putting the crashes on there too, everyone has them, not all are willing to show them. nice job.
[Reply]
first part looked like u had fun eating dirt, but after that u did some sick riding.....i might hav to try brakeless riding one day.

why do people always say this. Its trials your supposed to have rigid it makes it a lot easier. And for street rigid is a lot nicer, and costs less to replace. I rode rigid this year and never had a problem. With sus. I would have to replace is half way through the year.
seen his bike check on bike mag something like that but man that is crazy. Brakeless... i cant even try that with 1 brake
i live down the road from Chris Akrigg !!! he is sooooo awesome. also recognize most of the locations.
