- 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.

Incredible mate!! Well good!
Sam Pilgrim you know you've done well when Sam pilgrim complements your vid
Sam Pilgrim nice new video
Hi Sam!)
Hahahaha. Just wanna say hello too. :P
How can this dude only have 35000 followers????
That was sick Chris! Outstanding riding
Fabiolous scape 2 is sick too! .. How the hell do you still alive?.. Don´t get it men.
Fabio Wibmer Да вы оба лучшие в своём деле !!! 😉👍
Yes bro🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
The skills. The music. The editing. This is art.
I truly don't understand how you are able to get so much traction on mossy rocks with wet tires, insanity!!
Yeah, green moss can be slippery as soap just being damp, so you gotta ask what black magic is at work here.
ive been thinking the same while watching the video
its probably the body movement helping with traction or some crazy witch craft with the tyres
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
Photoshopped
Loving the water stuff, just a great ride all the way through!
Nothing is groomed. Just gnarly riding through amazing terrain. This is what my dreams look like.
That was clinical riding by Chris and the editing, soundtrack and cinematography was just the cherry on top. Thank you to everyone who made this video happen.
I jumped this sweet curb on my way to work this morning!
well done! we all start small
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...
So true
came for the bikes, stayed for the music.....
please Mr James Welsh, please make this available to download, it's an amazing track!
the next greatest bike video ever made is here. Akrigg may be the greatest cyclist ever. this is mind blowing in its creativity, lighting, physicality and musical treatment. masterpiece.
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.
Just gob smacked at the skill, balance and endurance to do that. Hats off as well for the filming and music.
Taking mountain biking to an art form !!
You know that spot where you stepped off? That's where most of us would be back on the bike. Damn.
Absolutely incredible. Chris your one of the most talented bike handlers I've ever seen. Enjoy your riding style very much.
love it. wasn't sure on the music at the start but by the end it works perfectly with the riding.
Never anything short of supreme trials skills on an enduro bike!
Incredible, Superman of Mountainbiker, perfect control, style and choice of the tracks, thank you.
If a genie would grant me just one wish, it would be to ride like Chris Akrigg. F*****G AWESOME!
Even after seeing a lot of videos from amazing riders this year, this one just blew my mind on so many levels.
Making the seemingly impossible possible through sheer will. I love your style!
One of the best bike videos ever!👏🏻😎✌🏻
still my favorite bike vid, all this time after. What a beautiful edit!
My legs and arms are tired from just watching.
Truly amazing skills on a mtn bike.
Blown away here, what an Awesome film, top quality footage, countryside to die for and some of the best riding skills known on this planet \m/ \m/ Legend Chris, Legend :)
Watched Deathgrip and Alchemy 3 last night. Both stunning pieces of cinematography, and great riding, but I can't see myself watching them again. Watched this video again for probably the 20th time this morning before going riding. A++++++
Huge respect for you Chris. This video is so so cool.
Defying gravity like this is an art, the sound track is phenomenal makes it all look surreal.
Well done Chris I keep on pressing replay!!!
Una vez más, la bicicleta mágica de Criss, el escenario, el trabajo de cámaras y la música, te llevan mas allá de lo evidente, a soñar, que es posible, que eres tú sobre esa bicicleta, haciendo todos esos trucos. Gran trabajo de edición, para mi una maravilla.
Muchas gracias Criss por esta nueva entrega, desde Chile mis respetos.
Epic show if skills again Chris, nice to see the number of sponsors growing!
Absolutely beautiful, Chris! Very inspiring.
Best natural environment trials video. Well edited and a pleasure to watch.
Thank you Chris. Inspiring riding. Shows there's more than one way to have fun on a trail bike.
Here I am watching it again, and just like the 100 other times, I have an insatiable urge to get on the bike!
Absolutely incredible, so much talent. Much respect for playing it as it lies Chris!
Love Chris's films! He found interesting terrain, tamed it with style, and used James Welsh muzak which is always entertaining. So much riding skill. Drone sequences are fun. Chris's signature turn on the rear wheel is a classy movement. Very satisfying film!! Congratulations Chris!
This is unbeliveable Chris ! what a performance ! When I watch Chris videos I forget the bike, whatever bike he ride. Thanks for the video
Only Akrigg.
Man.. what an artist..
Amazing riding as usual, thanks for putting it out there.
F-ing magical, as always, Chris. Ride on! Thanks for taking us with you
Everywhere is a trail for this guy. So amazing.
Finding flow where i couldn't find traction.
Really good! Good music and editing too thanks chris!
this guy proves that i don't ride the local trails properly xD
Brilliant work yet again, everyone should see this.
True Mountain bike riding - freakin' awesome man! excellent video production as well!
It's surprisngly rare these days to see Athletes ride mostly for fun as appose to competeing all year round (like most). You, Danny Mac and Dan Atherton seem like some of the only ones who ride more for fun than anything else.
4 Months of waiting. Worth it.
Pure MTB riding!!!
Thank you for your videos, whenever i watch it i feel myself as if under hypnosis ;)
Chris, your skill and creativity never case to amaze me. Ace!
Riding like someone's chasing you or you're running a bit late. Always on point with the videos! 👌🏻
I've seen my share of riding videos and after years I just keep coming back to this like nothing else. Just incredible! The flow, terrain, ridiculous skills, all match up. If I were to show to a martian, what MTB is at its best, this video would be my choice by a wide margin. Pure art!
Seriously The one and only person on earth whom can ride like this....
Love that ride out on the vertical log. GORGEOUS camera work.
Massiv, how you can take sooo much flow passing over those rocks. Just amazing! Good Job Chris ;)
Best raw riding I have ever seen...Kudos Chris!
Wonderful, full of freedom and grace.
Thank you for this gift. Happy holidays...
Best yet and great tune. Makes everything look easy
Work of art as always Chris!
damn! that was a good one ! incredible riding ! the river part seems so slippery ! riding trials with a full suspension bike is sooo difficult ! perfect filming ! the camera always moves, that add a very nice feeling of motion . great song too ! , thanks you !
This is truly the epitome of making a mountain out of a molehill. I was transfixed, so incredible.
Always come back to this vid. Brilliant work
I was planning to do this exact same route on the weekend, but now you've done it I probably won't bother. Might stay in and watch Pointless Celebrities instead.
I stand impressed. (Well, I am lying down in bed so I am lying impressed.).
There is only 1 logical explanation for this guy : he is Alien !
Fantastic vision and inspiring on all fronts, EPIC!!!!!! 🤘
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.
So good as usual, always such a treat so see your new edits!
fucking beautiful. Thank you Chris, and to everyone who helped put this together. I found this profoundly enjoyable to watch and look forward to re watching already. best Christmas present. Thanks for all your hard work.
Incredible video with equally incredible music. Oh, to ride like this!
As usual, great stuff again! Producing some of the best content on the net at the moment.
Landscape, movement, camera views and video cut in perfektion.
Fantastic man, intoxicating as always. Making me wish I'd brought my bike on vacation!
very technical and so smooth...i love his riding-style!
mindblowing jawdropper!. Chris, awesome-awesome, man! Happy new year!
phantastic ride,chris. love watching it.
Excellent work Chris, nice to see some long sequences and plenty of natural features (and trees, I like the trees!), your skill and imagination never ceases to amaze me! I think you deserve a cuppa and an extra mince pie now lad.
I was watching this with such amazement that I think my mouth hung open and I started to drool at some point.
Absolute machine! Great video
Fluid is what comes to mind. No matter the terrain Chris remains fluid. Much Props!!
As always a really sick video! Congratulations!
I feel like this could do with some David Attenborough commentary
haha
lol
got to be David Bellamy!
Straight up epic skills. Redefining what it is to freeride.
Finally something worthy of being on trending!
Awesome Chris Beautiful footage
Dude you are my hero! Keep up the awesome!
your videos always makes me want to ride at any hour
WOW! Thanks for the upload.
So frikkin awesome man! Great vid!
Wow! That peerless display just earned u another eager subscriber..... ME.
U are one talented Geezer Chris !
Regards Andy 🇬🇧
Maybe I'm a little bias being British, but we have got some seriously talented riders in the UK. Another next level video from our northern friends.
Nothing better than getting message that a new Akrigg video is out!!!!
Great soundtrack and great skills! Overall looks like bike hypnotic trip ))
This is the coolest mountain trials video i have ever seen
Sweet Akrigg awesomeness! Why ride trails when you can ride along a river, complete with slimy boulders and fallen trees! Superb video, Chris.
good stuff. just the riding without full on trials moves makes me want to ride, the navigating techy trails. the trials is the bonus showin skills. all your videos inspire me to ride.
Chris you are one of a kind...
that was so good. made my day!
Incredible bro, as always! 👌🤘😎
Awesome skills and great editing! Well done, Chris.
Really good Chris, Merry Christmas
I'd have trouble walking half of that! Wow!!
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.
