dan_addison Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Absolutly inspiring. Couldnt be bothered with the 4 min intro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 didnt like the editing or the arty stuff really, was just drawn out and seemed to be there for the sake of it; and then when it did get to the riding apart from the up to ledge and the drop down(which is just plain silly without brakes) it was a bit repetitive and well basic for what chris can do.as has been said, did he or anyone else doing those moves really need brakes to do any of that?

The Hitcher Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Got bored after a minutes of intro, couldnt be bother with the rest of the vid by then.Why why why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 some sick stuff in there, but everything (apart from the drop) you don't really need brakes for, I was expecting to see moves that normally require brakes, just makes the brakeless thing a bit pointless for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The beginning part was a great build up where akrigg writes down whats going down in the vid , then it gets a bit weird and long with this horror theme in some old warehouse , before it kick starts into some brakeless action which at times looked a little repetitive. although the moves were technically hard, this vid would have been better if akrigg found various urban/street terrain to do all those bunnyhop variations and jumps off that mini kicker ramp. the bigger stuff nearer the end was mental . that fall at end of that big up was a bit clumsy what was chris thinking.

Jamie_Neal Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Awesome - although for true ghetto it should have been a hammer and nails, a drill and screws is too hi-tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 all u critics... i bet u couldnt even manual brakeless or even have the balls to even try the shit chris does with brakes.personally i luved it. reminded me of a few things.. 1 - what can be achieved through determination, skill, innovation and creativity, and 2 - why akkers is the best all round rider that iv admired since day one. thanks for posting john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm also disapointed along with the other few. WHY? as said, Trial Noir and this isn't trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The arty stuff at the beginning was evidently a load of crap and lasted way too long.The actual riding was preety amazing in parts but I find it dissapointing that Akrigg is regarded as one of the best trials/steet/crossover riders yet most of the stuff he does a decent bmx'er would piss on.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 it deffinatly is different and i had already said to a few people they wouldnt like it because of the lack of riding. but the way chris had had to make everything from scratch, dont forget this video is to apply to EVERYONE who rides a bike, not just "trials" riders, this is why chris rides for mongoose.his next vid will be much more impressive, but i think he sort of knew that it wouldnt please everyone, IMO the location and the "type" of riding suits everything about the vid.The location is Denholme near where the "bike track" starts in the old mills on the right. no one will ever go there, because literally there is nothing to do in there unless you have a mind like Akrigg.im sure chris is already aware of comments that there needs to be more riding etc. im sure the next one will prove that the riding is extremly amazing for the brakeless theme.Wayne.
