CHRIS AKRIGG - FROM THERE TO HERE

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2018
- Hi. I'm Chris Akrigg and this is my story so far. I've been riding riding bikes since I was five years old and I'm still going strong. I started out as a trials rider but after ten years of that I turned my attention to making fun little videos on a array of different bikes and that's what I've been doing ever since. Grab yourself a brew, beer or whatever you fancy. Hope you enjoy...
Directed by Chris Akrigg and Victor Lucas
Filmed and edited by Victor Lucas
Music by James Welsh
What a legend. Deserves far more recognition than he gets. I'm just glad he's been able to make a living out of riding a bike.
Finally got around to finishing this (watched it in 3 parts). It was fun to hear the perspectives of Martin & Danny of your riding style as well as your photographer. I think they are spot on when they say it's inspiring to see what you can do with a feature just down the road. I know that's what originally motivated me to get out and start filming more.
He truly is the riders rider.
Edit: Oh damn didn't realise Ashton would quote me like 2mins in 😂
The finest 40 minutes of bike video that I've ever watched.
It's an absolute pleasure watching you do your thing Chris. 👍👍
I'm so happy this film exists. Chris has been one of my favourite riders since forever.
Great video! I always get excited when I see a new video from Chris.
Why does the video not have like a million views...what an amazing rider!!! Thanks for the video - Happy Riding !!!
Thank you Chris and Mongoose. CA is absolutely one of the best bike riders ever (and the first MTB I rode was a rigid steel Mongoose with canti's).
The first time I saw Chris was whilst I was waiting in line at a section at the British championship trial in Essex (1995 maybe). Chris came flying past coasting on his back wheel and shouted "I have no brain" as he hopped, coasted over a tree stump and carried the coasty on the other side! His riding is epic, and so was that Pace trials bike he rode!!
Man that brought back a LOT of good memories. I miss those days.
Big inspiration in every way
I can remember when I was 3 years old and getting a bike with stabilisers and within half hour I was like get these training wheels off lol, I can remember making obstacles in my uncles garden and trying to ride over them and kept challenging myself to ride and like you it was years before I even realised that riding over stuff was even a sport let alone people even were doing the same thing, you have always been my biggest inspiration Chris and I can’t thank you enough for that, and I’m still pushing my riding at 46 years old which is amazing as I’ve pretty much rode by myself all these years, this video was so emotional for me and has only fuelled my passion for trials so much more , what a true fucking legend you are.....can’t wait to ride my bike today lol 👊🏻👍🏻💪🏻
This is legendary. Akrigg has the physical strength and raw power bursts that one fails to see in other riders. Along with Ashton and Brummotti, he is my favorite, old school not included. Keep em coming Chris
An amazing early Christmas present. Thank you
this guy has no limits, he is the best i'v ever seen
wow,what a great movie,mate. love to see you riding.
Chris, the world is glad there are people like you! Not just as a rider but also as a human being. Wish you the best!!!
Bloody brilliant, best video Iv watched in ages... Thanks to all!!... Great to see the history and footage of the road trips.... Back in the day, all we had was MBUK to keep us up to date with what was happening with "The Martins" and Chris and UK vids, like Chain spotting and Earthed etc were few and far between.
Amazing riding, such an inspiration! Got me pumped to ride tomorrow!
Awesome skill and determination. Great video.
These videos are awesome I can't get enough of them I remember watching Chris akrigg at school with amazement and so I'm not surprised of his success in the slightest can't wait until all this virus is out of way to see what he has in store for us all in 2020.
About time. I've been waiting and waiting. Cracking video! And fair play to you for including all the moments when it doesn't quite go to plan.
Thank you Chris for this video. Definetely gonna watch it again. Next sunday, I guess.
'A hill in Spain' is the first of your videos that I saw. I went on Vimeo and watched all of 'em. You've been a huge inspiration! The way you ride, the cinematographic aspect in your videos, everything is impeccable and so full of creativity. Thank for all these years, hope you can continue for a lot of years to come. Wish you all the best!
Clad I waited till had enough time to enjoy this film and not rush it. So good Chris
I bloody love this bloke!
It is an honor to be complimented by Martyn,Danny, Martin and Hans , and you are so lucky to have a Dad like yours and a trials legend too.Keep up those amazing videos.
What can you say But WOW What a Determined Talented Dedicated Blessed Chris Akrigg
This video is brilliant! By far the best one of the year!
Beast. Dude is so smooth and so good you don't realize how good he is. Watching Akrigg crush one impossible line after another is a treat, and I never tire of it. Great video.
I love watching you ride Chris!
James Welsh music as breathtaking as your riding!
If it wasn't 9.30 at night, dark, peeing with rain and I'd drunk a couple of glasses of wine, I'd have been inspired to grab my bike out of the shed and go for a ride. Great video.
Not sure why this made me so emotional watching this! Pure joy! Complete renegade artistry and skill, nonconformist to the full! My gosh. This is legendary!
Thanks for this Chris.. early Xmas present to your fans!
The king of 2-wheeled performance art.
Legend, New Years morning 2014 still a party going on in my brain I discovered Chris on TH-cam best start to the year I think,
Parmi les personnes les plus inspirantes dans ma pratique, voila sans doute celui que je mets sans doute au sommet .ça dépasse l'entendement.
Keep your mind Chris !
Absolute sublime talent, grit and creativity.
Awesome. Greatest hits! Good work Chris!
Thanks Chris! Always a pleasure to watch, had been and will be hopefully! Jaw dropping, and me feeling like a bloody noob 😀🤘
Thank you Chris, you have always been a motivation for myself!
I'm still riding my undestructible Mongoose khyber since 2010 :)
A greeting from spain
And you are still my favourite trials rider of all time. Time to do a hkt podcast
Best mountain bike video I've seen in ages, been a big fan of yourself and the Martin's for ages keep up the good work. 👍🚵♂️🚴♂️
Chris your riding is down right inspiring. This movie is very motivational. Stoked to have found this channel.
Why the bloody hell is there 5 dislikes???? Do these people watching this video not know what this lad has done for MTB / Trail riding?
Bloody idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris is a legend, he is so driven to succeed, in my mind he is a true champion of the sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great film Chris and good to see your dad on camera. Excellent work!👍
Chris Akrigg es mi inspiración, esa agresividad, técnica tan única y una gran determinación... Admiro mucho a Martyn Ashton y soy un fan de Danny MacAskill pero Chris, Chris es un estilo de vida en el ciclismo, eres una leyenda!!! Tienes un super fan desde México!
Very cool documentary! And Chris... He is a F-ing legend! His style never gets borring.
Chris. You’re our hero. We run the Mongoose XR Pro Enthusiast Facebook Page.
Thanks for all your great vids. Have a Happy New Year 2019
That was superb! Such a talent Chris. Those old clips bought back so many emotions from being a teenager on my bike, mbuk, mates and VHS bike films. Loved it!
A work of art once again. Can not wait for more to come! Game of bike with Danny macaskill ????
Favourite rider by far. That's a lot of saying counting on today's level...
This was an incredible documentary. Thanks so much for putting effort into producing this. Chris you are legendary! Have fun with the rest of your time riding bikes!
Awesome one of the best documentaries
Amazing absolute quality. What a story. Perfect name for for this vid and your Journey in the sport. Loads of wow moments.
hell yes!!! Sick video of all the BTS you go through for your vids. Love it dude.
Old blood, experience, and style.
Sensational. What a rider! Keep up the superb 'work' Chris!
Such a great rider with unlimited imagination! An inspiration to anyone interested in MTB riding
Holy smokes! Thank you for your constant effort put into biking and filming and creating entertaining and motivating content. Until now I've not realized that I followed your step to youtube almost from the beginning!
My favourite rider since I think bike 97 at the NEC? This feels like finally the recognition this guy deserves, I really enjoyed this.
Well done Chris ☺
Awesome, nice to see the interviews with other riding legends. One of the most inspiring riders, I remember watching grainy youtube clips from maybe 2004 or so.
Absolutely incredible! As always. Thanks a lot!
HECK. YES!!!
Sooo good!!
Absolutely spot on video!! The development of bike trials in the 90s and since by these guys has been so important to cycling in general and my own cycling history that watching this documentary was like taking a walk down memory lane with some friends I've never met. So happy a documentary like this has been made, and made so well!
All the right people in there with amazing first-hand accounts of the events that have created the world of freestyle trials as it it is now. The 8 or so individuals featured in this video basically rebuilt trials and moved it away from rules and competition and into a place where individual creativity, freedom of expression and innovation have all been welcomed as a legitimate form of cycling and a way to be, lessons that so many aspects of modern culture and society would also benefit from. Changing the way things are is never easy, but guys like this show that there is so much to be gained from having the balls to mix things up and go against the grain.
Thanks to all involved for this much needed important story in cycling history.
Amazing video. Brings back so many memories! Need to get riding again...
Love the attitude, Chris!
I’ve been a fan of trials and street trials since 1994 - when I was 14. I’ve never been in a position to afford things, but I’ve always tried to buy the odd bike magazine over the years and your good self, the Martins (Martyn’s?), Eddie Tongue (where is he?) and Hans Rey, were very real inspirations. At 38 years old now, I’m still not in any position to do this (bloody bills!), but this video has been great, to once again, catch up with your antics and see how things have progressed for you; you had and continue to have a great riding style and watching this video shows why. You’ve also always come across as a bloody nice guy too. Anyway, I’m glad to see you’re still doing well and riding as hard as ever!
Great video.
Total legend.
Great video. Nice one you mad Genius!
Amazing! I wish I had a procent of that bike control
Absolute legend, doesn’t get much better than Chris!
So good!! Absolutely loved this. Thanks for a cracking video!
Outstanding 👍
Ура! 👍 Новое видео!!! 🇷🇺
What a true legend. Awesome video man love the style and seeing the process. If I could like it twice I would! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loved it. Well done all involved.
Amazing , loved every minute , will definitely watch again and again for inspiration.
Keep the great riding vids coming 👍👍👍
W.O.W Just amazing. Thanks Chris for making this video.
so rad Chris!
Thank you for making this video. What a legend! I remember the first time I saw a Chris Akrigg edit and just thought to myself who is this guy? He rides like no other!
Best Mountain Bike Video ever. Still working on doing 1/100th of what he pulls off with his perfect mix of skill, strength, courage, and style.
Great story! Really cool how you made such a big impact on trials and riding with all the street and flow and now it's become such a beautiful art form that shows the best of what riders and bikes can do!
What a fantastic video, I couldn't even pause it!
Incredible riding, Chris! So much fun to watch
MOTIVATION🤘🤘🤘
You lads are legends it’s what inspired me to ride trials back in 98 I rode for about 8-10 years started with a GT timberline then progressed to GT zaskar, Azonic ,Giant etc but for street use to ride Martin Ashton 24”. love every bit off it! Thank you
One of the best
It's time to rewatch every single one of his videos
Brilliant film 👌
Where were the clips from Retro All Terrain Biking?? That video caught my interest in following your riding. Such great style and humor. Keep it up Chris! Love what you do
Wow man 👍
Inspiring! Chris can do the seemingly impossible.
Easily the most innovative guy out there.
Nice film Chris, I enjoy your (and everyone's) perspective. I've been a fan of your videos for some time now. By the way, the Yorkshire moors have gotten onto my bucket list of places to visit, because of your films. (I'm an American.) Thank you!
Superb video. Hooked from the very first second.
Remember being in the NEC watching Akrigg bash the $hit out of the metal rail so talented absolute favourite rider, would be happy if i had 1/2 his talent on a bike!
Thanks for the great inspiring videos. Keep it up. Good luck. :)
Bloody awesome that!!
thats my answer when someone tells me why you still enjoy riding in sidewalk and the streets... awesome video as always
fantastic! i miss mid 90's mountain biking!
Absolut legend!!! You are epic Chris!
