I'm always inspired by this guy, amazing to watch and I love the way he combines trials skills with riding in the natural environment.
The story is not just in the riding, but also in the changes in the environment and ecosystems as he descends from mountain top to valley floor.
So you reckon you can ride a bike?

Trailgumby, that was freaking incredible.....the control, on those rocks, unreal
One must also give praise not just to Chris Akrigg but to those who filmed every possible move, angle and terrain.....simply brilliant!!
It is really great to live in this world with the technology we have at our disposal to enjoy watching this kind of riding......i'm now wishing I was 20 again.....oh well maybe in my next life.
I'm sitting at my computer at the moment with a blown calf muscle (my shock absorbers) and knee problems (Pivet Joints) so I can only watch in envy.
Cheers

Brilliant riding. I used to be able to do some of that stuff... But only In my head. My reality was a lot more tame though, even tamer now o know it takes a long time to heal.
