The most creative mountain biker on the planet is back at full strength
Chris Akrigg is a unique sportsman, his style of riding is impossible to copy. He is equally great master of trial, freeride and street. He emerged on the world stage in the end of the 90s and has forged his positions every year. Today Chris Akrigg is a six-time bike trial champion of England and an absolute leader of Redbull Cobble wobble, Redbull Mini Drome, Redbull bike battle and many others. He also managed to demonstrate his versatility in water sport by conquering bronze and silver at British Championship by overwhelming 100m distance. Chris is also keen on motorcycling and shows good results. The sportsman was born in Kitley, the Western Yorkshire, England is known to be the motherland of the most knocking out mountain bikers of our time.
Chris Akrigg is one of the 1st riders who ventured to make absolutely reckless street-trial without any brakes and trial-freeride on a mounting bike. His desire to become the best led him to serious injury and needed a lot of time to recover. We remind you that his last video was taken in striking Yorkshire hills. He tried to make a trick by jumping from one height to another, but he fell 12m down and was seriously injured. Thankfully, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance came to his rescue and Chris spent a lot of time healing his broken knee and arm. In Spring 2012 Chris Akrigg was back on his bike and tends to show everyone that it is not the proper time to forget him? After the fast recovery Chris does not give up and has already made another video. |
