CHRISCROSS

I've been a fan of Cyclocross for a long time, so when Mongoose said they were working on the Selous I couldn't wait to get my hands on one and see what all the fuss was about!
It has to be one of the purest forms of off road riding. I would say back to basics but my bike was pretty damn tech as Shimano set me up with there latest electric gears and disc brakes. That aside you're still essentially riding a beefed up road bike with skinny tyres and no suspension making every rock, root, rut and discarded Duvel bottle a potential nightmare! A lot to be learned technically from riding a cross bike, have to be on point 110% of the time, I had a lot of fun putting this together. Enjoy!

How the hell does this dude not be more views good music funny and the bike skills are amazing

[@aaron.biketrials]

The beginning reminds me of the fast show "its brilliant!" Pure madness!

[@danielharding1998]

Love it, I could sit and watch your videos all day..

[@StepXX]

I said to my girlfriend that I would show her a guy with Archangel-level skills. Several seconds past 1:20 she replied: "Archangel?! He is God!" I keep watching this video on a daily basis. The burst of energy is crazy here! Best regards from Ukraine, Mr.Akrigg. You are amazing.

[@dbryant650]

Glad to see you back on a bike, Chris!

[@johnwatson7367]

SO GOOD. SO FREAKING GOOD! Thank you Chris.

[@herrspuzzmacher3787]

I appreciate this. Well done matey. Title caught my eye. I'm lucky enough to own a 1993 Chris Cross made by Chris Chance / Fat City Cycles / Fat Chance. ...woa, bonus trivia, John Tomacs world Championship winning Mongoose, was a restickered Fat Chance too! Cool coincidences.

[@toymachine76]

Chris, amazing riding man. Well done and keep it up.

[@leonteflorinel8808]

You are one truly amazing rider ! Cheers, mate !

[@skibikeride2000]

Dude you kick ass. Please make more videos.

[@myideas8548]

Man this guy is an incredible talent. I ride my CX bike on MTB trails but I can't imagine how completely lame I probably look like after watching this guy. Damn!

[@JuliusCesar2781]

Chris is unbelivible. 5thumbs up !

[@johnryan296]

Damn! Great Ride, You are super technical.

[@joaosequeira3866]

And people argue shit like, whats the best wheel size, best tire model, best suspensions, best frame geo etc... Answer is simple: IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU, not the bike.

[@MsFurrybubbles]

Exactly! Well said!

[@sebastien_8578]

So be it.

[@amol9951]

its true, but i have a cross bike from an unknown brand (TOTEM by golden wheel group) i don t know if my bike can take so much torcher cause i still have to learn how to do a bunny hop etc but if the bike breaks can t afford a new one so what should i do

[@Vieno71]

wellcome back Chris!

[@josejn2007]

I am astonished!

[@randohuman137]

Chris against the long travel trend!

[@oli7173]

you should do the 3peaks man haha where everyone would be getting off you'd just be laughin at em

[@GunganWorld]

I had no idea others do this! I'd just published my 1st log hop video on here when I broke my ankle a few hours later, but I'm slowly getting back into it, and I'd recommend this style to everyone. The bikes are as light as hell to get up and over stuff, 0 grip so great fun in mud and on slopes, and really fast which is crazy on mud or rocks etc. Just don't get tipsy and go for your 2nd log hop video. trust me it ends badly :)

[@niallo31]

Wow man your amazing on a bike

[@juiceboxt.v8192]

awsome

[@MaxLuong]

Chris Akrigg does CX. There are so many WTF moments toward the end when he's riding through the mud. I cannot understand how some of that is possible.

[@FreddieLacar]

I still don't get this sport despite its popularity. It's not natural and it's not comfortable.

[@johnwatson7367]

Freddie Lacar what sport is comfortable? It's cycling, not sitting in a recliner, watching TV.

[@rafblum]

bad ass.

[@giutubospatubo1546]

I don't understand cyclocross? Why not use a MTB? You're using the wrong bike on the wrong terrain... But there must be something to it, for some people are doing it. Anyone care to explain why? Thanks

[@hardToSignUpHere]

You are right, he is showing off, I would not ride my CX bike over these boulders like that. But when you don't have large stones, too many tree roots to ride over or drops on the trail there is no need for a MTB! Again some people are more than happy to show off their mountain bikes on the tarmac.

[@giutubospatubo1546]

Well, as long as the rider is happy, I guess is OK to ride a tricycle on a downhill.....

[@kitten-inside]

I use a CX bike as a "fat tire" road bike that I can take through offroad connectors when I feel like it. A road bike would die offroad, and a MTB would be hella inefficient on tarmac. Manufacturers caught onto this idea, and that's how the gravel category came to be.

[@enchonggo5688]

make an high drop. that is easy

[@janmichaelportugaleza405]

He should find another sponsor like Scott, instead of Mongoose.

[@AK-rh7fd]

What are the words in the beginning of the video? cannot understand some of them. - Cyclocross! what's about it? - Its like a road bike, ...... off the road - has skinny little tires, no suspention, curly wurly bars - ........ football on a weekend - riding in wind, .............., rain, wind,...... - .........chips ........, .......... beer - .............. with bike on a back - sound great, but ................... Somebody please help to underdstand, thanks.

[@justarandom1]

- Cyclocross! what's that all about then? - Its like a road bike, but for off road - They have skinny little tires, no suspension, and curly-wurly bars - They race round parks, you know, where you play football on a weekend - They ride them in winter, in woods, in the mud, rain, and wind, over logs - And they don't seem to be too bothered about them energy drinks, they're more bothered about chips in a cone, fancy beer. - And they run up big hills like this with bikes on their back - Sounds great, better give it a go!

[@GSCETR]

Those skinny tires shred up the trail and will have all the walking groups up in arms over it. Me thinks it will give them another excuse to kicks bikes off of even more trails.

[@rustyhoops]

Show off🤕🤕🤕 wow
