Those bar turns made me laugh and cringe at the same time. At 2:32 for example. Trial style at its finest.

People will love this, as proven by his gigantic list of sponsors.

I've not been following the trials scene for a while now, but endure trials.......... this sounds like a disaster.

The first thing that springs to mind is my other love from my younger days, dance music. Now, many different types of genre have merged and we have EDM........and its shit.........

I'd rather not see mtb'ing and all its different disciplines turn into a similar heap of crap, its to good for that, but it seems there's more money from more sponsors so sadly its probably inevitable.

Sorry if I'm I've missed the point but kinda disappointed to hear this could be "something".

 

But hasn't akrigg been doing this for years anyway??

I don't think enduro trials is a 'thing', in the way that (for example) brakeless trials is a thing. Both are similar in the way that only a select number of talented individuals partake in the activity but it seems that enduro trials is only really done for the sake of making a video, where as guys like Flipp obviously rides the way he does, on the bike he does, full time. 

I don't want to rubbish what Chris does because it's f**king cool and he executes his videos brilliantly but it does seem like a bit of a gimmick now that everyone else is trying to replicate it - badly.

I think what makes Chris Akrigg's videos so much better is that's the whole video is one big section, almost as if your following him the whole trail. This guys stuff is all disjointed and random, mixed with all those scenic shots, although very beautiful, detracts from the riding.

There was some awesome moments in there though.
