  • Guess the clue's sort of in the title! i've never been one for over building lines or riding purpose bulit trails, so here you go a super raw winter thrash keeping it real up on't moors.

    I truly don't understand how you are able to get so much traction on mossy rocks with wet tires, insanity!!

    • @Farmfield
      @Farmfield 7 років тому +9

      Yeah, green moss can be slippery as soap just being damp, so you gotta ask what black magic is at work here.

    • @MrHaxann
      @MrHaxann 7 років тому

      ive been thinking the same while watching the video

    • @MrHaxann
      @MrHaxann 7 років тому +7

      its probably the body movement helping with traction or some crazy witch craft with the tyres

    • @Farmfield
      @Farmfield 7 років тому +4

      Much more the balance and shifting your weight around than the tires - though a good tire absolutely helps. But it's kinda like slides/grinds on skateboard or BMX, the difference between instantly stopping, getting killed, sliding to much, getting killed, and a perfect slide/grind, is finding that perfect middle ground. The problem is, it's often really hard to determine that on the first go, so even an experienced rider is likely to get issues on a stream crossing like that the first go - but I'm guessing this is Chris back yard, so not his first rodeo on those rocks... :D

    Chris Akrigg deserves to get way more recognition for his awesome riding. This video has some of the toughest riding, while coming along in such an unpretentious package. Combined with the fantastic track from James Welsh, it's one of the videos I love to go back to and rewatch again and again and...

      I don't know why you *don't* think it's any good!
      Be humble: take a break from the manicured doubles lines and try some technical off-piste riding like this. See what skills you're really still lacking. Then acquire them.

    Here is a beautifully shot video. Man.... lot's of work went into this, and the bike riding skills of the rider is extraordinary. Some ride a bike for practical purposes, others might ride to enjoy racing, others just to enjoy the environment around them. This rider is an artist, a painter of sorts. His bike is his brush and the natural world around him is is canvas.

    Lots of trials riding is extremely contrived. Most of the time you are quicker without the bike. What I love about this sequence is the way Chris moves through the landscape quickly. With skillful use of a bicycle he is able to take genuine benefit from it as a means of transportation rather than simply prove that is can be done.
