Chris Akrigg has done it again – another jaw droppingly mental bit of technical trials/downhill riding on video. He’s off the brake-less trials bike and fixie and it’s back on a bouncy bike to pin it down a large hill in Spain.
Shot by respected snapper Victor Lucas, who’s gone to the dark side of moving pictures, the Mongoose sponsored rider is once again doing his own brand of high-speed, highly technical mountain biking. Massive views and mad riding – the quarry section is well worth waiting for…
Akriggs vids just get better and better! Love it.
I think the reason he doesn’t achieve “break-out fame” (as someone put it above) is that he doesn’t do show-boating tricks like backflips etc which Joe Public loves, but other riders are not particularly impressed by. Akrigg is a real riders rider.
Calderdale trails are the 5th one down one this site

Lovely video, too.
has to be one of the best all-round bicyclists out there!
Another awesome vid from the man.
His tight switchback method is so much more fun looking than the gaye-euro-front-wheel-endo technique.
Would love to know which hill in Calpé that is
clearing the steps in one go @4:41 – utterly mental!
Wow!!!!!!
Sir Chris Akrigg……
why doesn’t my bike do that?
Great editing!
Very good video, some super smooth riding in that.
what bikes he riding doesnt look like a current mongoose ?
I’d like to know more about these ‘hill’ bits above Calpe, we were there last October visiting the parents. We asked around and in local bike shops and found nothing much of merit, certainly nothing that someone would travel to, specifically to ride.
If it is in the Calpe area, it must be around Guadalest. watching it again, there is a resevoir/lake visible, the only res/lake around Calpe is at Guadalest.
Its a 2011 Mongoose Nugget.
Not available in UK
Some of it is above Mijas.
Great riding – bad socks!
its all down to his socks.
Great video. Nice to see how hard he runs his forks 😉
It’d also be interesting to see how a pro DHer would attack those lines – prob harder, sketchier and quicker…?
Great riding – great socks!
lovely – that made me smile a lot 🙂
Oh my God!
truly awesome
is it me or our (i.e. brit) mountain biking videos way more interesting than anything the yanks/flappy heads are doing at the moment?
It’s definitely around Mijas except the bit around the lake, this could be El Chorro but I’m not sure
This guy copies all my best moves. Honestly I wish I had 1% of his skill and botle.
“Is it just me or is he as good to watch as madskills, if not better? Why no ads, redbull money or break-out fame?”
Much prefer watching Chris Akrigg myself. I think it’s the pace he rides at that’s so impressive. Absolutely loved that
