As much as I love Akrigg (he's one of my favourite riders) I didn't really enjoy this vid. If anything it's a good representation of just how limiting some bikes can be, stick one of the most skillful riders in the world on a 90s MTB and it won't be all that entertaining.

I would've preferred to see him do more trials stuff on the bike, just like the Road Bike Party vids, but I understand that he's trying to use the bike for what it was made for decades ago.

well put, 90s mtb geometry sucked as can be seen by his strugling in the video (and he is running tires bigger than the people in the 90s used to run), but I lieked the video

I mean, yes, but I enjoyed it FOR that reason--seeing how radical he could get on a severely handicapped bike. plus, I'm from the time when we all rode bikes like that, so I can empathize more, I guess. and it was fun.

Eat a dick.

The funny thing is a probably could, given a crew to work with as good as Akriggs. Nothing he did in that video would be at all challenging on a modern bike.

Even on that old as shit bike nothing he did was anywhere near as impressive as the stuff he's done in the past, there are many riders who could do the same stuff and even some of the guys on here. The only slightly challenging stuff was the nose manual and the small amount of basic trials stuff he did.

/n/igga you dont realize how hard is to learn some basic trials skills, infact that is why so few people actually ride trials

I just watched it again to make sure I didn't miss anything, all the trials moves he does in that video are pretty basic and any half decent trial rider could do them. The hopping along the river could've been done on the back wheel but instead he just basically bunnyhops along them all, and the rest is just simple (if fairly big) hops up onto the back wheel.

Doesn't look like anything special, I'm guessing you and the other riders on Strava tried tackling it on short travel hard tails. Give me a suitable bike and I'd smash your time.

Cut out your crash if you want and just show the rest of the trail.

>>998591
I'm not criticising his skill, I'm probably a bigger fan of the guy than you are, I'm criticising a boring as fuck video that does nothing to show his true skill and what he's really capable of.

It isn't an old bike. It is a brand new bike made to look old.

http://www.pinkbike.com/news/mongooses-1985-all-terrain-bike-contest-and-video-2016.html

Paying homage to the original bike is this new limited edition Mongoose ATB. Pulling inspiration from the original ATB, we’ve included elements like a small diameter Chromoly frame with chrome finish skin wall tires, thumb shifters, and cantilever brakes. Foam grips, vintage style saddle, and a Bullmoose handlebar round out the cockpit. A few modern tweaks include 27.5+ tires, 24 speeds with index rear shifter, and modern cross country geometry make this a fun ride on and off road.

It's a frankenbike that I built up after the toptube broke on pic related. If you look closely you can see the crack on the near the front of the toptube where it failed

Overshot a jump and landed flat. Also I wanted to see how hard it would be to hit steepish slee with a slick front tire. Turns out not very, but most mtb slicks have thin sidewalls (especially maxxis), so it didn't take long for that tire to get destroyed

skinwall tires are prone to puncere plus for trials moves liek drops to flat pressure has to be high
