Mark W Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 As you ride BMX as well, you may be interested to know that the filmer/editor for this video is the same guy who does a lot of the Eclat stuff as well as the 'Make It Happen' video last year. Or, you know, you might not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Was tired of the trials on an mtb thing but the 'there's pride in anything done well' applies a lot here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Morris Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I know there are a few people doing the whole road bike trials thing, but sure;y he's the only person in the world who can do that on a DH bike?! The video was brilliant! What a great idea... the Water Cycle. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I know there are a few people doing the whole road bike trials thing, but sure;y he's the only person in the world who can do that on a DH bike?! Naa, there is a couple of folk doing it on full sus bikes. Aurelien Fontenoy being one of them. I'd say, skill level, they are similar but I much more enjoy Chris' videos.

uk24 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I enjoy Chris's edits but find they are all kinda similar you kinda know what hes going to do before he does it, similar to Danny Mac you know he's going to do a footjam whip on something then do a fakie nose manual 3 tap something huge etc etc gets abit predictable.

uk24 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not taking anything away they are always well shot and edited really well and good music choices, looking into my crystal ball I think a trials vid is coming next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman64 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Awesome vid. On repeat. Even though I find his riding less "technical" than in 'A hill in spain', the quality of the edit/film/music transforms this riding video into a short movie. About the music, James Welsh seems to be the artist chosen in most of Akrigg's videos. I even suppose that the music in produced specially for the video, which would be just great.

Ross McArthur Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I think he's up to something. He changed his cover photo on Facebook. . Just posted "f**k everything" on Facebook too!

Mark W Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Pinkbike and Vital have deleted it off their sites too, making Dirt look out of touch It'll be interesting to see what the deal is. Wonder if it's something to do with permissions to ride/film at some of those locations or something? It's not music at least. Maybe just 'Doing a G'? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
