chris akrigg is a nice bloke. and he talks properly without using a load of americanisms.

Watched this on Weekend. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for posting this, reminded me of the excitement of getting my first BMX (a Burner) in the early 80’s. And similar excitement getting my first mountain bike (a Mongoose) in the early 90’s.

my mate cav rode for mongoose with andy and was the uk’s first bmx pro 🙂

Good video, thanks for posting. There seems to be a few coming up recently.

Mongoose, know your roots.
Hope, technology to a tea.
Orange, it is what it is.

Anyone know of more please?

Enjoyed the vid, ta. Chris Akrigg does appear to be a nice bloke. However, I’ve yet to meet him on the local trails to decide if he’s as nice as people think. 😀 I’m sure he is.

A lovely history lesson. Really enjoyed it.

My first quality bike was a 1981 Mongoose Supergoose II.

I wish my 1st BMX was a Mongoose but sadly it was a Puch Murray!

Brought back some great memories though…

My first, red Skyways.

Bunnyhopping milkcrates.

& building quarterpipes 🙂

Ackrigg, Scmachrigg! We’re talking Andy Ruffell here..true uk bmx legend and as for Tim March??..is he playing Ben Gunn at the local theatre!!
