CHRIS AKRIGG - AS IT LIES

Спорт

Guess the clue's sort of in the title! i've never been one for over building lines or riding purpose bulit trails, so here you go a super raw winter thrash keeping it real up on't moors.

    its probably the body movement helping with traction or some crazy witch craft with the tyres

    Much more the balance and shifting your weight around than the tires - though a good tire absolutely helps. But it's kinda like slides/grinds on skateboard or BMX, the difference between instantly stopping, getting killed, sliding to much, getting killed, and a perfect slide/grind, is finding that perfect middle ground. The problem is, it's often really hard to determine that on the first go, so even an experienced rider is likely to get issues on a stream crossing like that the first go - but I'm guessing this is Chris back yard, so not his first rodeo on those rocks... :D

    Lots of trials riding is extremely contrived. Most of the time you are quicker without the bike. What I love about this sequence is the way Chris moves through the landscape quickly. With skillful use of a bicycle he is able to take genuine benefit from it as a means of transportation rather than simply prove that is can be done.
