he shure rides the shit out of that 4 inch travel bike

corsair711 (Mar 23, 2009 at 17:23)

Akrigg is probably in my top 3 favorite riders because of these videos. He rides it like a full on Downhill Bike sometimes, and like a BMX others.

I dont give a crap what you think it is, its crap. that shouldnt even be classified as music. sakkalli is right.

sakkalli1410 (Mar 25, 2009 at 5:02)

you guys are entitled to you opinions (more's the pity) and so are we....the music blows-right on ssssmjp!!!

LIPS-LIKE-MORPHINE (Mar 26, 2009 at 14:10)

its amazing music!!!! a tiny bit to heavy for some parts but his riding is real abusive on his bike so it like fits it well in my opinion

bunkey (Mar 27, 2009 at 13:18)

Slayer has done sooo much for modern music - you ever heard of the four horsemen? Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax & Megadeth? yeh, they shaped modern music. (Good) music wouldnt be like it is today without influences such as slayer. open your eyes.

bunkey (Mar 27, 2009 at 13:35)

I think its more the sweaty long haired, baggy pants wearing guitarists of pinkbike who will appreciate the music more - you gotta love those deep picked triplets on the verse guitar, sooo tasty Smile
