I can't stand Akrigg....said no-one ever.
Ace. Love the showboating!
Get orrf my local cheek, though...
Loved it. Thanks.
Okay... THAT is my favorite MTB edit of-all-time-ever.
Ace. 😀
Excellent,and the wheels are still [s]true[/s] going round at the end.
🙂
Love the crap fish-eye shot.
I feel like I'm watching (whisper it - a slightly better version of) Dirt again, excellent stuff! Just needs Jez Avery and a Pro Flex now...
Hmmm, this full sus build.....
Whenever I watch this stuff it just makes me want to go and ride a crap bike up/off/over/down stuff. Things are usually more fun when the equipment isn't the most appropriate and there's more chance of getting hurt!
Ace. Very "Dirt" and JMC styleeeeeee.
Awesome as usual 😀
Does anyone know where the jumpy playground bit is near the end?
Jump bit near the end is on Shipley glen
That's taken me back 30 years to when I stared mounting biking.
Bikes have changed, but the level of fun hasn't.
Love it 🙂
Bars look a touch too wide though. Originals or modern compromise?
Awesome!
I enjoyed watching this now as much as I would have done had it have been 1990.
Great video.
Agree with the Dirt style comment above 8)

Would have taken some serious bottle to have ridden than on a pair of 540mm (or less) bars.
I've got some 520mm bars in the shed 😯
Big grin from me! 
Starts off on Skipton Moor then Embsay Crag where I used to ride my Clockwork in the early 90's. 8)

My kona is 21 years old but I still can't ride it like that lol. And yes it still has mega narrow scary bars on 🙂
Where are those steps over the water
Brings back memories of my mate dragging me on mtb rides 20 years ago from Brighouse over Denholme & Bingley & ending up at the Shipley Glen cafe hoovering up beans on toast Then trying to figure out the least hilliest way home.
Absolutely LOVE this.
Retro music, retro bike, retro clothes, retro accesories, Good video!
No use of toe clips or neoprene Power Grip, so on that basis I'm out.
and you crazy good doing that stuff with such a bike?
Where are those steps over the water
I suspect the ones at Ilkley seeing as a big chunk of the video is shot on Ilkley Moor. ^I can't see any Embsay Crag bits^
Mongoose had the bike on their stand at crankworx, it's not as 'old school' as it first appears...
For some reason Brant and Ilkley Moor are tied together in my mind. MBUK article...?
Fantastic. Reminds me of how I look when I do jumps 😉

Chris might give that one away, you never know. I only live down the road, I can pick it up, if you're reading this. 🙂

Starts up above Skipton, Embsay, then Ilkley Moor, then Baildon Moor mixed in with Harden Moor.
Baildon Moor and Harden Moor used to be my old stomping ground off road on this. The jumps were not quite as big in the quarry back in the day

(except for the river crossing bit) That's pretty much exactly how and what I still ride.
is it time to move on? 😕
hope not.
So metal.
Starts off on Skipton Moor then Embsay Crag
I thought I recognised that cairn at the start, then definitely clocked the location when he goes through the old quarry. 😆
None of it really great role modelling though, big skidz and all on footpaths 😯
He's not bad is he...could make a living from that prob'ly 😉
that was crap
Where's that cairn then?, is it on Skipton Moor?. I immediately recognised the other Skipton quarry bit, but haven't spotted any Embsay Moor yet. The next segment after Skipton looks to me all on Ilkley Moor, around Rocky Valley, White Wells, all the skids bits around white wells? Then Shipley Glen on Baildon Moor (with Harden Moor snippets spliced in possibly)
No bar ends I'm ooooot.

Starts up above Skipton, Embsay, then Ilkley Moor,.......
it looks to me like it cuts straight from Skipton to Chris laid in the grass above Ilkley to Rocky Valley on Ilkley Moor. You can spot one of the old college buildings front and centre when the camera switches at the end of Rocky valley. I still don't see any Embsay in there like others are doing.
Not sure I remember seeing a bike like that ridden that fast at the time. The trials stuff though, that was around.

Obviously, you never saw noncycler: "That's pretty much exactly how and what I still ride", back then. Me neither, to be honest! But I'm impressed from afar.
