Mark W Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I wouldn't say it was a "FACT" that it was harder to do the stuff he did with brakes on, with the moves he was doing I doubt it'd make much difference?John - I think people were more having issues with the actual video than the riding? It's a long vid, for relatively little actual riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) well im inspired, last line was beyond sick....oh and editing was sweet, enjoyed watching it, i like the non riding bits as well, all adds to the suspense, no braked nutter...

BenLeacock™ Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I liked the riding, but waiting for ages was abit boring and the intro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Good idea, good angles, good music, good editing, brilliant riding. But the vid was boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a difference there, but the actual feel of riding brakeless is totally different to knowing you can still stop. The fact you know you could stop 'cos you've got brakes might make you think about it differently, but the actual move won't be different.

Al_Fel Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 What part of that video was meant to make me want to buy a mongoose?Nice moves great skill. But its not a patch on BMX. I wouldn't even call that shit BMX to be honest.Ah well good luck to him he's got by with what he's doing for years before I started riding.

Concussion Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 What I like about Chris Akrigg, is that he just does what he wants regardless of opinion. Respect the hell out of him for that.Vid was great, not the most ground breaking stuff but I'll remember it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpanzyyyy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hopefully you've seen John's edited first post I totally understand people's hate for Apple stuff. Don't get me wrong I like my G5 tower and the simplicity of Final Cut (and the fact its used a lot in the industry), but I don't totally bum Apple like some of the tards that queue for days to get a new iPod or whatever. iTunes works for some, doesn't for others, its just the way it is I guess.And yeah, I was disappointed with this video for all the reasons that have been stated already lol.you re right.

Gandalf the Yellow Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 i almost misread it and thought it was brakeless trials, because that would have been stupid......but holy sh*t the riding is immense. so goddamn smooth and gets everything nailed.did anyone think....potential indoor trials park?? ahahasteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) I lost interest after 6 minutes of pretty repetitive stuff. The 4 minute lead in, WTF is that all about, that could have been cut down with some faster music to about 20 - 25 seconds at the very most. That begining of that video was quite pretentious if you ask me, I was reminded of when I first got Premiere, and it was all just editing for editings sake.I suppose it's pretty impressive from a riding perspective, I would have however, expected better from Akrigg.
