trialsguru Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) a little while ago when the chris akrigg vids came out on the gate 8 website at the end of the vid it said, "trial noir, video coming soon". does anyone know if this is going to come out and when? and also has there been any further news about archive 1? or is that history now thanks Edited September 16, 2005 by trialsguru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I think it was said that there was an issue with getting footage they could use due to sponsorship commitments (Akrigg had a coupla different bikes, for example), and other shit like that. I think it just got dropped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsguru Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 oh right is that just archive 1 or the trial noir vid aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 pretty sure the trials noir vid is happening, as there has been little trailer on the gateeight site. archive 1 on the other hand is dead in the water. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 It's a shame because we rarely get a chance to see those boys properly going off. If Akrigg does a video it'll be the best bike video ever - few people have the all round skills and abilities of that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, surely his sponsors would've prefered him to have a video out? 'cos if you look at, say, Hermance - someone does a video of him, it goes up, and people are all over it. People start buying the stuff that he uses and start riding the way he does. It's obviously going to have a knock-on effect for the sales of Koxx/Try-All stuff, so they seem to keep getting videos of him out on the net. But aside from the Gate8 ones, it's been well quiet on the Akrigg front. He's an amazing rider, so it would've made sense to have got him to put a vid out. Is Feebal still going?

Tony Harrison Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 No idea about Feebal... they had a really good site but then it disappeared. Don't know if he (Hawyes) had sponsorship troubles... I heard rumours about why he left Giant but I don't really want to repeat them here or say who said them, but either way I suppose the guy's got other stuff to do. Shame again, cos that was looking shithot too! I think it's because of video footage that people do 'bum' a lot of the foreign riders. A lot of people don't realise just how good Akrigg is. And Edd Tongue I think doesn't even ride trials anymore (anyone know? Tim??). I still think Hans Rey is the best... (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me most of his coverage is in MBUK which IMO is losing its appeal to the trials community. And pictures really don't do that guy justice cos I thought Danny holroyd was nothing "special" and then when he was on the dvd my opinion drastically changed (Y) !!! Hope Akkers does do a vid, is he still riding for mongoose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsguru Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 danny holroyd - nothing special? never thought id hear that.....ever! all of the trialskings were amazing especially for the time they were riding, no one was doing big drops to rails back then they were pioneers of the new skool riding in my opinion. hawyes is riding for diamond back last i heard and ive not seen head nor tail of feebal which is a shame. back to my other question, is the trial noir trialler the 2 small vids of akkers or is there another? id love to see it if there is.

PaRtZ Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah but what I meant was I had only seen him in the mag, and he was pretty much doing everything that everyone else was doing. Then I saw him in the video and he was amazing. Im not for 1 second doubting this riders ability (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcha87 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 The Trial Noir trailers are the two Akrigg videos off the Gate 8 website, unless I've been left in the dark as well! I've heard Holryod is a little inconsistent, although I've never seen him ride in real life! Something needs to come out from the Brits soon!Archive 1, Trial Noir, anything!

Trials Punk Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hawyes is riding for diamondback, bt on a koxx atm until diamondback aka raleigh pull their finger out of their ass and get it too him. He's designed it but ain't got it. Feeble, he said he's been too busy to do anything with it since hooking up with diamondback doing demos all over the place. But you never know.

Waynio Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 the vid is called "Archive 1" and will be done, its still under ground :P akrigg has put alot of effort and time into this but he wants it to be right first time and its coming along nicely the last time i saw it, (he scrapped this one to start fresh!!!!) it was awesum!!!! he rekons hes got the new one started editing and its amazing havent seen much of it yet though. most of you on here probably wont like it as you are not the "akrigg" sort of lover some are some are not!!!! if you dont like to watch trials in every aspect of its form and nature then you wont want to watch it, if you like trials from every angle and aspect you probably will want to watch this vid!!!! i think its the bollox but thats my personal opinion on the matter.

trialsguru Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 i thought archive 1 was a vid featuring ed t, akrigg, ashton and hawyes? or is the trial noir vid the same thing? will we be seeing the other guys in the vid or just akrigg? any idea on a release date yet as the vid sounds awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 And Edd Tongue I think doesn't even ride trials anymore (anyone know? Tim??). He rides his Leeson BMX (Y) If you havent already seen Cassette (the ride BMX video) Ed Tongue section you need to! The stuff he was pulling off is mental and stupidly smooth, it was also filmed about 3 years ago so he must be even better now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff he was pulling off is mental and stupidly smooth, it was also filmed about 3 years ago so he must be even better now! Where bouts is this Cassette vid... ? Would really love to see it. Big Fan of ET :ermm: thx! - and on the matter of the video... patience people. Even ages ago now when Akkers wuz out ere stayin at mine he mentioned how hard it wuz for himself, Hawyes and ET to actaully get together at the one time. With the footage and put it all together in a way that they would all be happy with. As Wayne said... its definately happening and im sure he will let us all know its progress! Me personally, having seen Akkers rideing in the flesh WOW... im definately hangin out for it!! People who dont appreciate his talents or just plain bum all the uci long bike stylee (which is great in its own way - dont get me wrong!) are missing out on IMO a modern day legend - who's all or nothing attitude will always earn my respect. anyhoo nuff said... Bring on the VIDEO!!!! :P" ooo yeah! Edited September 19, 2005 by streetjibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Where bouts is this Cassette vid... ? Would really love to see it. Big Fan of ET (Y) thx! - and on the matter of the video... patience people. I guess people were 'impatient' just 'cos MBUK were talking about it going to be released over 6 months ago, so people are kinda wondering why there's suddenly no info or anything about it... Anyway, Halfords usually stock Cassette, but if not I *think* you can get it through www.4130.com. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 "Trial Noir" is a name akrigg and edd made up and there going to be doing some clothing (well chris is) so the advertisement of "Trial Noir" is for t-shirts and sort of exploits akriggs style of trials riding, quite dark ;) :) as in dark side. but yes the vid as far as i was aware will contain akrigg, ashton, tongue and hawzee.
