Anybody else hear about the trails rider Chris Akrigg going brakeless? Whats your thought? I think its pretty crazy but must look smooth as cos he cant hop.

I can't find one of him brakeless but this vids still ace. He does a backwards manual at 1.50ish [YT=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k80lR_0t0bQ]

Most of his riding is street already though. So if he goes brakeless...thats all he'll be doing.

You'd never hit rail lines, You couldn't ride natural.

I dont know, you asked for opinions and thats mine. I'd much rather see pro's ride with brakes, rather than goof around playing with street. I'm a trials rider, thats my preference.

Chris Akrigg also rode street at one of the Quashqai Challenges, so probably he's going to ride brakeless street

Imagine trying to land on a rail without brakes, you would have to get it exactly right, and even then I still dont think you could do it...trying to go from rail to rail would be just about impossible. Prove me wrong is all iam gonna say.Big Grin
