Really like his stuff...I prefer to Danny's stuff - both are really good but Chris's appear to be more 'natural'...doesn't look as orchestrated, looks more like riding whatever is in front of him.

Danny's stuff is good but a lot looks or appears to have been placed to make the sequence work.

No issues with that really, just prefer the look of Chris's films.

It's almost sickening how much skill that guy has.

Impressive as ever 😎

He's like the Tony Bou of cycle trials, fantastic!

Power too, the wee climb he nails on the Arran video onto clauchlands point is incredible, it's hard enough walking it!.

Great skills, looks like he would rather be on something more like a trials bike though given the amount the suspension was moving about 😉

Love his stuff, as above I prefer it to Danny’s because his lines seem a little more natural. And as a clips rider I can’t stop but looking at his footwork, constantly moving. Skillz.

Thought he was on a HT at first, have to look carefully to see it move. Great vid, a nice balance between trials and MTB. When watching trials videos I can admire the skill but just want them to do some actual riding sometimes!

Great vid. But I do wish he wouldn't include the scratching boulder with a rock section.

Couldn’t give a toss about the airport really. I always aim to spend as little time in them as possible. The best investment you can make when travelling by air is a fast track ticket so you can time your dash to the gate to perfection. The closer to home the airport is the better.

I get what you're saying, but I quite like the way he shows how he approaches these things (marking the rock, building the little dirt ramp) rather than the Danny Mac 'I just turned up and rode this first time' presentation' (I know he doesn't always do this...).

😂 quote function has gone badly wrong there. I watched the video again, but still didn’t see the airport dash. I is disappoint.

Heehee. Quote function working perfectly. Meat bag on the keyboard not so much...

I'll hate him for you. No problem. I hate Danny also.  Young, talented basterds both of 'em.  It'd be ok if they were dicks but, annoyingly, it appears they're not. ****ers.

I thought it was a bit meh to be honest.  Good skills but nothing particularly memorable.
