I don't think he's underrated by those who know about him just for whatever reason he's never exploded on social media like Danny and others so not enough people even know of him. I can only think it's how he likes it, just enough to live well and be able to ride and do the things he wants. This way he's got a lot more freedom than Danny and Co and can totally control what he has to do.
@@georgenaudi9042 basically every person I've ever seen comment on him or talk about him has been saying how stupidly talented he is. Especially anyone who knows about the sport. I know it might be hard but try asking any other rider in the industry they all know exactly how hard the stuff he does is and how good he is. I can only think that he's not that interested in being better known as I'd be amazed if RedBull and Monster haven't tried to sponsor him. Being sponsored by either would get him more known in days and make him more wealthy so I can only think he's happy as he is. Making enough, showing his skills to those who want to see them and living life exactly how he wants to without the hassle of having to perform for a big sponsor.
@@itarry4 He's underrated in the industry without a doubt as well as from The Fanboys. Personally I think he's the best push bike trials Rider. Every bit as good or better than MacAskill. Or any other top trials Rider.
Come on guys !! Chris is unique Mr Akrigg is very local to us in STEETON ,west yorkshire ! If this was Danny macaskill we would be on 10,000 views in 30/40 mins Chris is on 400/500 views ! What he's doing in this vid on an ebike is unique !!! A Danny & Chris video would be wicked in this our local wood ! 👌
Technical skills + explosive power = Awesome bike rider (and a visual treat for anyone who watches this video). Hats off to Chris Akrigg and thanks to EMBN for taking the time to film Chris in action.
He doesn't just ride it, he makes it look relatively easy while doing it. Until Steve tries some of it and we've seen Steve climb some fairly difficult stuff himself, it's hard to judge truly how hard the stuff Chris does is, due to the camera and his huge ridiculous talent.
Akrigg could be one of the most underrated off road bike riders in modern times. The guy is a trials wizard. And he can ride the wheels off of almost any bike
Just totally amazed. Chris is just on a different level and Steve is staying right there with him. The skills and fitness levels to do these moves is just off the charts. Truly shows upper level of emtb skills. This should be shared to all of the naysayers. This definitely isn't cheating.
I like the way Cris makes this stuff look stupidly easy and seeing Dave (who is an incredible rider) struggle and even pass on a lot of the features will tell you how insane this really is.
I like how Chris said he needs to concentrate on one section. Then Lemmy drops his stick and if rolls under Chris' bike. Then Chris says "thanks Lemmy".
That's just insane what Chris is doing on that bike you just gotta sit back and admire what he does as there's not many people can do it and fair play to Steve for having a go himself 👏👏👏
iv been watching and following chris for years when he was riding for pace i went to see him live in the n.e.c he was unbelievable trials rider hands down the best freestyle rider even to todays standard
Wow, what a video to watch. Always a thrill to watch Chris Akrigg's acrobatics and skill on a bike. And every hat in the closet is off to you, Steve, for following his moves - Bang On Job!!!
It's like watching a a mountain goat . So glad Steve is there, he's by no means a normal mortal on a bike, but it does show how ridiculous the lines are.
Yhea Chris made it all look so easy with the effect of the camera it fools your eye in to thinking its easier than it is... Until Steve tries it and can't get close to making it. Especially as you say because we've seen Steve do enough stuff himself and is no bad rider himself. I guess us mortals will have to be content watching as there's no way I'd ever get close to that talent.
Like Steve I came from a motorcycle trials background, but Chris is just beyond next level. I can’t begin to imagine to ride anything like that even if I was young!
Total respect Chris, especially given its an E bike! Also cheers again to you and Danny for helping Mr.Ashton finish his video "Road Bike Party" after his injury!!!!!!! Yours skills are unmatched
This is for sure THE BEST and funniest video I have ever seen on your channel - and I´ve seen all of them :-) Incredible skills and such a pleasure to watch him doing such things on an ebike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....and Steve you are also a highly skilled lunatic :-) ....MORE OF THAT PLEASE.........................
Credit to you Steve, the man is an animal on that terain and you held your own against one of the best. Well done. A great video showing what can be achieved on an ebike.
Riding trails that aren't there, flattening obstacles that are there and spotting invisible lines. Not many people have that ability. Well done steve for keeping up as far as you did. Awesome.
Riveting, rewinding to watch again and again unbelievable. After some painful crashes I would have worn some protection. Then again I need to😂. Full respect Steve u r a warrior. V entertaining best vid for long time, thankyu
This is outstanding!!! What we witnessed in the video was unimaginable, uncompromisingly and yet Chris made it happen and look easy!!! What he did conquering that terrain on a e-bike...Speechless!!!! This was one of the best videos you guys have ✅ done!!! Big thanks to Chris and Steve simply amazing 💪💪💪👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌
Akrigg is by far the best mtb athlete today (imho) I love doing technical uphills on emtb and what he does on bike is absolutely out of this world.. amazing.
Hey Steve, I would like to have only a few of your skills. Amazing to see. Chris skills are absolut unique and nobody will be able to follow him this smooth way conquering obstacles.
Good on you Steve! You were quite rightly in awe of what Chris does, but I bet your eyes were opened and your skill level was taken up a notch just by following some of his lines. Chris A makes the best riding videos imho- he rides the lines and way I would ride if I had an ounce of his talent.
Defo in a different world with a bike goes over everything like a mountain goat...has incredible timing and balance along with buckets of skill & talent!👌👏👏
Turning skills and experience into talent: truly amazing riding! Great show! Yes super intimidating to join and try some of the moves! Good for you Steve!
So impressive, I would even see some of them lines ,let alone try them. What a legend and Steve well done for giving them a go. And you summed up perfectly.
Hard to comprehend what kind of powers Chris posses 🤦♂️ Not sure if I'm more impressed by his skills or pure power output, he produces some insane bursts of energy, those legs are nuclear power station! 😳 Steve, all of us would be more than happy if we could do what you are capable of, so don't despair 😁
Amazing !! Well done Steve you rode like a legend , it's a shame you were in the presence of a god unbelievable riding Chris. Definitely your best footage yet
Steve, I think Chris Akrigg could play you in the EMBN movie, I honestly thought that was you in the opening scenes! Also, it was great seeing you stressing about a ride, instead of us stressing about trying to copy you :D
Wow, this makes me wanna get an emtb asap. What's holding me back is my daily commute to work. With an emtb I could destroy myself on the weekend and have a good assisted ride to work everyday.
This one one of my favorite videos y'all have done. Love seeing the limits being pushed of that these e-bikes can do! Now you need to get @PatSmage to come do it on a fat tire e-bike.
Chris Akrigg is the most underrated bike athlete ... legend
I don't think he's underrated by those who know about him just for whatever reason he's never exploded on social media like Danny and others so not enough people even know of him.

@@itarry4 I hope you're right on this one, coz in my eyes he's insanely good.

Two different riders/styles. One is better at some things and vice versa.
Come on guys !! Chris is unique

Hes a credit to our local area! He deserves so much more credit than he gets
I'm in complete agreement. Chris is outstanding and I know fuck all about trials.
Come on people.
More viewings!!!!!
Technical skills + explosive power = Awesome bike rider (and a visual treat for anyone who watches this video). Hats off to Chris Akrigg and thanks to EMBN for taking the time to film Chris in action.
I've no idea how any of this is possible on a bike but it's an honour to watch such wizardry.
Agree, they make it look like an unrealistic computergame. xD
I'm local to this spot and the video doesnt fully do justice to just how technical some of this riding is!
He doesn't just ride it, he makes it look relatively easy while doing it. Until Steve tries some of it and we've seen Steve climb some fairly difficult stuff himself, it's hard to judge truly how hard the stuff Chris does is, due to the camera and his huge ridiculous talent.
That intro from Steve is some quality journalism. Chris is the GOAT. If I could ride like anyone, it'd be him.
Akrigg could be one of the most underrated off road bike riders in modern times. The guy is a trials wizard. And he can ride the wheels off of almost any bike
Just totally amazed. Chris is just on a different level and Steve is staying right there with him. The skills and fitness levels to do these moves is just off the charts. Truly shows upper level of emtb skills.
This should be shared to all of the naysayers. This definitely isn't cheating.
Steve seriously man, you did amazing just to be in the ball park with such an athlete
He sure did. Top marks to Steve.
For me that was the best EMTB vid I have seen. Hats off to you Steve for even trying to follow him.
To even be on the same trail with Chris was impressive Steve. Well done.
Chris is a legend. Itwas very exciting to see how even an experienced rider as Steve looks like an average guy next to this man.
The tree jump - the greatest riding of all time !!!
Best EMBN video ever! More like this, please! ;) Chris is a very good riding too btw...
Physics and gravity defied..... Hats off Steve for even attempting it and bringing home the unbelievable difficulty to us all.
That was fantastic Chris Akrigg is on another level he made Steve look like a beginner full respect to them both and the camera man on this one.
Chris is amazing! An EMBN production of Chris and Danny would be mind blowing
I like the way Cris makes this stuff look stupidly easy and seeing Dave (who is an incredible rider) struggle and even pass on a lot of the features will tell you how insane this really is.
I like how Chris said he needs to concentrate on one section. Then Lemmy drops his stick and if rolls under Chris' bike. Then Chris says "thanks Lemmy".
When doings trials in crazy places like these, I'd wear elbow pads n knee pads. Better save than never. Chris is a beast on that emtb.
That's just insane what Chris is doing on that bike you just gotta sit back and admire what he does as there's not many people can do it and fair play to Steve for having a go himself 👏👏👏
As crazy as this looks on video it's even crazier in person. The terrain up at Shipley glen is insane and Chris makes it look like a walk in the park!
iv been watching and following chris for years when he was riding for pace i went to see him live in the n.e.c he was unbelievable trials rider hands down the best freestyle rider even to todays standard
Chris can ride, Steve was impressive and shows how difficult the stuff Chris was riding. Thank so much love every minute.
Brilliant!
Well done Jones.
Good effort for an old bugger 😀
Yeah, how can you not like this! Enviroment or bike does not seem to matter, Chris Akrigg is allways amazing. Brilliant!
I think that’s the best vid I seen on ebike 💯🇺🇸💪
So good! One of my favourite riders, what a legend. Great edit too Steve.
Wow, what a video to watch. Always a thrill to watch Chris Akrigg's acrobatics and skill on a bike. And every hat in the closet is off to you, Steve, for following his moves - Bang On Job!!!
Impressive to see how Chris Akrigg handles a heavy E-MTB! :D
It's like watching a a mountain goat . So glad Steve is there, he's by no means a normal mortal on a bike, but it does show how ridiculous the lines are.

Absolute legend. Wish I had a fraction of his ability on a bike. Love to watch him ride. Game of ebike next time with Chris Smith too.
Thats some awesome riding :-O Impressive balance and bike control skills !
Total respect Chris, especially given its an E bike! Also cheers again to you and Danny for helping Mr.Ashton finish his video "Road Bike Party" after his injury!!!!!!! Yours skills are unmatched
Love Chris. My favorite bike rider. His Winter Hardtail is the best MTB video eva!
This is for sure THE BEST and funniest video I have ever seen on your channel - and I´ve seen all of them :-)
Incredible skills and such a pleasure to watch him doing such things on an ebike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....and Steve you are also a highly skilled lunatic :-)
....MORE OF THAT PLEASE.........................
Why have I got a big smile on my face watching that, totally blown away. Fantastic vid!

Riding trails that aren't there, flattening obstacles that are there and spotting invisible lines. Not many people have that ability. Well done steve for keeping up as far as you did. Awesome.
Absolutely the best Emtb video on RUclips - Fantastic👍
It's an absolute honour to watch skilled people attempting stuff i'd have difficulty walking let alone doing it on a bloody bike!!
Riveting, rewinding to watch again and again unbelievable. After some painful crashes I would have worn some protection. Then again I need to😂. Full respect Steve u r a warrior. V entertaining best vid for long time, thankyu
Fair Play Steve for even attempting this ,looked physically and mentally draining.
Amazing what you and Chris can do on ebikes in this video
Fair play for sticking with it Steve.
Brilliant. Proper Yorkshire . Unbelievable talent
Truly amazing thanks so much to both for the effort. Love the passion. Hope there was a cold beer waiting at the end of the day.
This is outstanding!!! What we witnessed in the video was unimaginable, uncompromisingly and yet Chris made it happen and look easy!!! What he did conquering that terrain on a e-bike...Speechless!!!! This was one of the best videos you guys have ✅ done!!! Big thanks to Chris and Steve simply amazing 💪💪💪👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌
Absolutely incredible riding! Always entertaining to watch Chris ride. He makes it looks so easy, especially on the Ebike!
Akrigg is by far the best mtb athlete today (imho) I love doing technical uphills on emtb and what he does on bike is absolutely out of this world.. amazing.
Steve ur a stud! Well done. Chris is not a human. Dynamite fellas!
Incredible skills, good day to be a camera man... just awesome
Steve you done really well considering you was well out your comfort zone... big respect to yourself & the legend that took you there 🙌
Hey Steve, I would like to have only a few of your skills. Amazing to see. Chris skills are absolut unique and nobody will be able to follow him this smooth way conquering obstacles.
Absolutely AMAZING 😳
Even a new respect for you Steve for even having the balls to show up !!! 😜Great Job
the doggo does it all smokin a stick ! :D
Amazing! Watching stuff like this really does make me realise how much I suck at mountain bike riding!
Good on you Steve! You were quite rightly in awe of what Chris does, but I bet your eyes were opened and your skill level was taken up a notch just by following some of his lines. Chris A makes the best riding videos imho- he rides the lines and way I would ride if I had an ounce of his talent.
Fantastic riding. Great video. He can see tracks where there is not one. Love it
Amazing! Hats of to you Steve, that looked like a very tough day out. Incredible what these bikes can do when you have those kind of skills.
one of the best vids on channel! thank you very much for this!
Defo in a different world with a bike goes over everything like a mountain goat...has incredible timing and balance along with buckets of skill & talent!👌👏👏
The mans a mountain goat! What an absolute leg end! Steve I’ve never seen you smile so much ! Oh and how cool is that dog!
Amazing stuff, probably my favourite embn video
Absolutely AWESOME what a guy Steve you did brilliantly for the first time.
Truly amazing skills but well done Steve you did fantastic.
Chris Akrigg is a LEGEND!!!
Turning skills and experience into talent: truly amazing riding! Great show! Yes super intimidating to join and try some of the moves! Good for you Steve!
I am impressed Steve, you held your own!
One of the best video...Steve u are really good rider👍
As Keighley lad in know the terrain, never seen it ridden like Chris can! Amazing stuff!
So impressive, I would even see some of them lines ,let alone try them. What a legend and Steve well done for giving them a go. And you summed up perfectly.
Absolute legend! Bloody amazing. Great session.
best video of the channel yet...absolutely fantastic!!!
Love an Akrigg vid... guys a legend!!
Possibly the best rider ever makes the impossible look easy. That's the most amazing thing.
Chris is a wizard whay a great video, wel done Steve as well.
Hard to comprehend what kind of powers Chris posses 🤦♂️ Not sure if I'm more impressed by his skills or pure power output, he produces some insane bursts of energy, those legs are nuclear power station! 😳 Steve, all of us would be more than happy if we could do what you are capable of, so don't despair 😁
Steve doing some good work lately Hart and Akrigg in the last week
great stuff. ta
Yes, that was.
Pretty fantastic..
Amazing !! Well done Steve you rode like a legend , it's a shame you were in the presence of a god unbelievable riding Chris. Definitely your best footage yet
That was some insane control and skill!
Absolutely amazing what can be done on two wheels if you have the skills!
Steve, I think Chris Akrigg could play you in the EMBN movie, I honestly thought that was you in the opening scenes!
Also, it was great seeing you stressing about a ride, instead of us stressing about trying to copy you :D
Mennn, I never saw something insane but really goooddd, my respect for both. mu jaw still dropped. amazing, awesome !!!
Wow, this makes me wanna get an emtb asap. What's holding me back is my daily commute to work. With an emtb I could destroy myself on the weekend and have a good assisted ride to work everyday.
Simply. Amazing!
Steve having the kind of experience that most of us would have riding with him.
incredible video, can make the bike dance
World: Better with Chris Akrigg! Wow!
Upload that trail on strava I’ll be round tomorrow. Looks pretty simple 😆. What a legend. Props to you Steve you had a good go.
More than awesome to watch pure magic and the best
This one one of my favorite videos y'all have done. Love seeing the limits being pushed of that these e-bikes can do! Now you need to get @PatSmage to come do it on a fat tire e-bike.
camera guy is a legend
Unbelievable this guy is incredible just watched I have an e bike couldent believe what he did
That was f**king superb!!!

Amazing what some people can do.
That's just amazing!
Fantastic video! Thank you
