Chris Akrigg - A Hill in Spain
Check out my latest video now! A Hill in Spain chronicles my recent trip to Malaga and the surrounding hills where I found this gem of a trail with help from top photographer Victor Lucas.
Unsure of what I would find out there, I took my “anything” bike the Mongoose Nugget. What I did find was an incredible, rocky hill side with some fantastic trails.

It puts a huge grin on my face when someone comes up with a new way to put multiple styles of riding into one vid and does it well enough to keep you glued to the screen all the way through. Great work dude!!

If this doesn't get VOD, there's something seriously wrong with the world. Chris is an amazing rider, and can so easily combine all different styles of riding, and on one bike - if that isn't do-it-all, i don't know what is!

I need to add this guy to my list of favorite riders. It's so awesome how he combines so many styles of MTB into his own epic style.

Nah brah. at 0:49 on the berm you see the backwards arch and circus decal. Cant believe youd be that stupid...

So glad this has made VOD rather than the usual panned close up of trees and leaves as out of focus DH'er in background whizzes, only then for a barrage of him hitting berms in slo mo. Don't get me wrong, I love riding and really appreciate the crazy skills that some of these riders have but its all very samey, showing no imagination.
Chris Akrigg on the other hand is a rider with totally bonkers riding ability, and an inspiring imagination on what to do with that ability. Not to mention he produces and edits all his videos which is an amazing talent all in itself.
Chris Akrigg, I salute you.

I think this guy could give Danny MacAskill a run for his money. 
Love to see the pair of them do a montage, though. Not an adversarial thing.

This has got to be my favourite mtb vid of all time. Seriously Chris, I love all the stuff you put out, your style and your vids make mewanna grab my bike and hit the trails, but this is awesome.
Get well soon bud, we need regular updates from one of the most inspiring riders I've ever seen. One of the best things to come out of Yorkshire (aside from Yorkshire Tea and Yorkshire Tea Loaf of course, love that stuff!).
