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 off on Skipton Moor then Embsay Crag where I used to ride my Clockwork in the early 90's
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

That's taken me back 30 years to when I stared mounting biking.
(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.
I remember those days, of rigid bikes. Just fun riding

1:25 looked like embsay crag to me, but i've only ridden it twice so don't take my word for it.^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..
Agreed - Looks like an aheadset 1 piece bar/stem + those tyres are modern 2 point somethings + Paul's love levers?
I remember those days, of rigid bikes. Just fun riding
Is it less fun on suspension? Are you forced to ride suspension? Rigid bikes are still available, and they are a lot better than they used to be.
Are you suggesting that what he does in the movie would not be fun on a modern FS?

No you can see the dirty great big buildings of Ilkley below.
Yeah, I don't remember the view, but my propensity for never looking up from the trail has been noted - repeatedly! I did also add the proviso that I'd only been to embsay twice 🙂 so happy to take your word for itNo you can see the dirty great big buildings of Ilkley below.

Sorry, my posts were all quotes from idiot Youtube commenters. 8)
(Except one)
ruined itA few modern tweaks include 27.5+ tires,
Where's that cairn then?, is it on Skipton Moor?
Just up from the old quarry, on top of Skipton Moor.
That very first bit down from Skipton Moor is not a ROW, but the bit in the woods/quarry below is near enough to a BW not to matter. TBH I've never known anyone else care about the descent from the trig/cairns.
Rest is Ilkley/Shipley Glen isn't it? Didn't see any Embsay Crag in there at all.
(except for the river crossing bit) That's pretty much exactly how and what I still ride.
Yep, apart from my bike having disc brakes (and no gears) it doesn't really look a lot different than my bike and the riding I do. I also wear lycra shorts and my Oakley M frames are still going from 15 years ago....
Rest is Ilkley/Shipley Glen isn't it?
And defo Harden Moor after a second view. it looks like, descent off Skipton Moor, descent off Ilkley Moor (Rocky Valley and White Wells), across stepping stones on Wharfe at Ilkley, 1 x Harden Moor drop off, 2 x Harden Moor (or same from dif angles) and 1 x Shipley Glen boulder problems, wheelie along Shipley Glen to Quarry, play in Quarry, looks like another little Harden Moor bit, ride back along Shipley Glen, skid finish in car park on Shipley Glen.
I still don't see any Embsay in there like others are doing.
Having watched again I agree it's Ilkley. First bit after the Skipton section looked like the Embsay descent to the Res at first but not on second look.
10/10
Brilliant! Took me back a few years.
Only one other I can think of to watch now:
No bar ends I'm ooooot.
NOOB! Bar ends were so new school!
Akrigg is a very classy/stylish rider. it is he that i aspire to be.
@ CaptainFlashheart - Jeezus next you will be moaning it's not recorded on cine film and every-other format after it was just a lower quality industry ruse to pump money from the masses. Mainly because all your projection gear had a 30 year worthless period and is now on the up after you tipped it a few years back!
Oh yeah no one wanted to sit through your holiday slide projection shows either 😛
