 This guy is a mountain goat!

 He clearly has some sort of telepathic coaster brake or something. Please tell me that's it, because otherwise, I really suck.

 Very nice video. and brakeless at that! Props

 awesome trials - loved the swing turn and the backwards bunnyhop onto the front tire which was just ridiculous - keep it up man -
  • + 1
 very smooth rider great video very deserving of vod
  • + 2
 that bike looks soooo lite
  • + 2
 Natural trials...it rocks!

 f*ckin technical riding:S that was sick!
  • + 5
 This guy is from a different plannet where the laws of physics don't apply! It's the only explanation.
  • + 2
 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.
  • + 4
 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 fucked up!
  • + 5
 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.
  • + 10
 you should make this VOD! TOMORROW! tup
  • + 1
 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!
  • + 1
 Never EVER again will I complain about my brakes not working right or not having enough/the right kind of suspension.....

You got steez man....

Where do you hide the giant STEEL BALLS you must carry around?
