Chris Akirigg has been putting out some amazing videos, a lot of them self filmed, that make you question what is possible on a bike. From innovative lines on his Mongoose hardtail, to riding his all-mountain bike like a trials' machine, and even bringing it to the streets aboard a fixed gear bike, Chris is pushing the boundaries across the board. Inside we'll catch up with the man himself on video and discover how all this came to be!

 Except the fact that he doesn't wear a helmet and ends up with a beer. So maybe not "any" age, but I am incredibly impressed with his ridind and his editing, not to mention his musical taste and knowledge. Not just the usual hip hop thrown in. He used funk that was perfectly times and edited. Nice!

 I love Chris's attitude towards his biking, I dont get the impression he is the sorta guy who would spend hours tuning his forks and blaiming his gear for a bad run. seems the sorta guy who would just get on the bike and do what he does best !Smile
