Waynio Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 il meet you at shipley glen over xmas or new year matt. (i cant ride)but i sure can watch someone if there in there to try! Just try riding brakeless normally,do death grip on the bars with your brakes still on, and just see how long it is before you go for the lever. its so funny!!!!!i bet the maximum for someone would be 10seconds.

Brian Bleech Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 brakeless is lots of fun, but really hard... makes you look at everything differently.that is nuts, but what is the actual line wayne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I think he is riding along the top of that rock (flatish) and doing a tyre tap then landing back on the flatish rock. am I close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Well that just about answers everyones questions about the possiblities of brakeless trials riding. cant tell if hes doing a 180 tap, or a 180 pivot. either way its classic 100% akrigg commitment , and 100% disregard of the consequences .

craigjames Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 its a damn awesome pic and a stupid stupid line, but unfortunately i found anymore pics of him in the mag still its trials on the cover of dirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 You may aswell just jump of a building, that is suicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Pointed the front cover out to John a few days ago (I used to subscribe to Dirt but I stopped but somehow I remain on the mailing list, not complaining!) - so yeah got it a few days ago, Akkers is only on the front cover, theres nothing more of him in the mag itself.

Wayne.I rode a little brakeless trials. Well it's when i would be on the bmx and mates on the trials bike. Really strange as you can't stay still, constantly rolling. But i don't think i would be trying it for real though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 thats the "bomb hole" bit, so if you imagine (for people who know) the rock bucky fell over with no helmet on, 13ft straight down over other side, the rock he is on in that picture is that!when iv been up there, iv gone from the rock to the right (which is out of picture) and you gap 90 (land like akrigg is on the pic BUT with brakes on!) and then gap to the rock in the forefront which is flat.Obviously this is brakeless and he pedals in, jumps 90, then as he lands jumps out of it, he is only in that position in that picture for a split second!!!! the camera guy must have been right on the ball when shooting that picture.We should arrange a natural ride up on the glen new years day or the 2nd? get loads of people up there like last year. was really kool. il limp about and take some pictures.Wayne.

Rusevelt Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Shame there are no extra pics inside the mag although Dirt mag is becoming shite like MBUK. Tim March isnt too impressed with the new format and has recently departed from Dirt. damn shame if you ask me. Well just have to hope that the freelance photographer has done a deal to sell any other recent brakeless pics of Akrigg onto Mbuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 don't know what the fuss is... been using old Hope's for a while... as good as brakeless trials !! Awesome picture.... Akrigg was always a hero of mine in the cycle world. To what hospital shall i make a standing order too for flowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
