Video: Back(rigg) To The Future

Chris Akrigg goes back in time.

You never know what Chris Akrigg is going to do next. For this video, he’s gone back in time and videoed himself riding trails and trials on his old, fully rigid hardtail, with canti brakes and tiny handlebars.

Never fear, though, he’s never without his Oakley Blades and his pink fanny-pack.

Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.
