[Closed] New Akrigg Video

I am excited, and I havent even watched it yet...

Me too - posted that before I'd even watched it. Its good...very good

Brilliant stuff.

Ta for that, good to see him back!

😯

Safe to say that he's back on form.

Amazing

I can't help but feel both elated and depressed when watching him ride!

Oooh... one to watch later 😛

Great stuff. I was out around Flappit last night (well, the moors either side) and it was a little bit wetter than that vid!

Nice to see another local landmark getting some air time although Blackley Brick Works isn't ever really high on my list of places to ride!

I told you there were some good riding yorkshire.

^^ My sentiments exactly.

Great vid though!

Wow, well someone's feeling better. Deff his best yet.

Back and better than ever. What a perfect vid. Inspiring stuff. Even the gratuitous use of techno and stream trains as backing is exactly right.

Kettlewell Reservoir, blimey that's a bit of a coincidence unklehomered.

Blimey.

I can't even tell where the "line" (i use the term loosely) is going to be until he actually rides it. Very creative.

Unklehomered is momentarily confused until google saves the day. Ahhhhhh, ace, best not let the friends see that...

That broken leg is still holding him back !

Seriously great vid. Probably his best that i've seen.

I really like the bit inside the old building where there are glimpses of the beautiful view through the windows

I liked that bit as well. But I especially liked the bit where he dropped through the hole in the floor 🙂

AWEsome and then some.

I had a top like that in '87

Awesome!

I dread to think how many punctures he had while filming in all that sh!t 😯

Crivens, he's a bit good eh!

I dread to think how many punctures he had while filming in all that sh!t

And how many druggies had to be shoo'd out of the derelict mill!!

All in all - fantastic riding, and really motivates to try some different lines next time I'm out!

DrP

shocking health and safety implications there - did they even do a risk assessment!?! 😡

Definitely this! Cracking vid, no idea how he does most of it, but still enjoyable 🙂

Well thats inspired me to go and play around in derelict buildings and mess around on train tracks.........lets hope no impressionable kids watching!!

Breath taking riding.

Smashing stuff. 😀

Has he got a podcast? I love his vids and this one is even better!

Can't wait to watch!

Is he the best all round rider in the world?

Not that it matters, he's from Yorkshire and that'll do for me. Wish he'd stop stealing my lines though 🙂

Crikey, guess he's fit again then. That is some seriously awesome riding.

Would be ironic if he recovered from his leg smash then died from a rusty nail.

Best vid I've seen in a while - excellent. Love the 'urbex by bike'.

If trials was an Olympic sport we'd have medals in that too 🙂

Brilliant stuff.

Love his riding and his attitude.

I just don't know how he does it all on a full sus. I used to ride trials and struggled to do half that stuff on a trials specific setup!

The guy does seem to get better and better, lets hope he keeps producing these clips.

Would be good to see an outtakes/behind the scene reel of how they set it all up.

"is he the best all round rider in the world"

Probably. He can certainly do anything he wants on a bike.

Awesome as usual... shouting "no way" at the screen quite a few times during that 8)

Absolutely brilliant video but can't understand how he seems to be a great ambassador for the brand but yet Mongoose in the UK seem to import only Halford special models.

Just watched it again, watched it last night, still as good second time round and still didnt see some of the lines till he rode em. I need to go ride my bike now. So inspiring and just amazing riding, really good edits, sweet videos all round.
Top work that man.

I think my favourite section is the hopping up the concrete steps, it looks like he's riding up some steps from land of the giants...

very very impressive - prefer the natural stuff to the mill - to much jeopardy with the nails and girders everywhere for it to be a comfortable watch!
