  • Chris's first ever attempt at riding a fixed gear bike. Hours after building the Mongoose Maurice bike for the first time, having never ridden fixed before, this is what Chris came up with.

      I fucking love that you of all people commented here with this comment. This is fucking sick. Love the edits you've been doing lately Matt and your clip on the new Mash steel frame where you did the road jump gap is so rad. Keep killing it man

      @mosk11tto 4 года назад +2

      So true when this was new it was absolutely mind blowing, but being honest it still is. All of the tricks are without any foot retention!
      Also great to see you matt keeping the "track bike" fixed gear steert tricks alive. I really enjoy these actual 700c bikes doing tricks than these almost bmx like fixies.

    I like how he picked it up for a few days and he could be a god among hipsters world wide..

    • @omaribrahim4304
      @omaribrahim4304 9 лет назад

      +jmendoza328 do you think that's really what attracts hipsters to fixies.. I guess you can't do these kind of tricks on a road or mountain bike, so it's an inbetween a trials and other standards

    • @chrisbecerra2659
      @chrisbecerra2659 8 лет назад +1

      +jmendoza328 he is a professional trail rider. he is much better at bike handling than the vast majority of bike riders.

      +Omar Ibrahim I'm a fan of Chris Akrigg and that's why clicked on the video, I also trail ride and I'm pretty good (obviously not as good as him) but the fact that you got offended at what I said is funny!!!

  • @TheHellasavagex
    @TheHellasavagex 9 лет назад +23

    A few hours in and this guy is better than most "pro" fixie riders...lol
    Granted this he is a real pro trails/mountain/urban bike rider who's sponsored by Mongoose...so... he has a little bit of practice compared to us regular first time fixie riders... ; )

    • @jmendoza328

      i mean i guess you dont know what i do or seen me do it so i dont really trip with that sarcasm im just saying its pretty easy if you know how do tricks on a bmx and apply it to any bike

    • @bertrandbogaert771
      @bertrandbogaert771 8 лет назад

      on a fixie it's more complicated even you know how to do tricks on a BMX, I've tried it 40 years ago, pity go-pro was not existing.

  • @nathanwindle9816
    @nathanwindle9816 6 месяцев назад

    That looked hard as fook ! Not a clue how difficult that must have been to do ! Going from what is natural (to you ) but having to keep pedalling all the time !
    I recognise some of them places (factory's / mills ) i think from way back , is some of this film in Halifax ?
    I seem to recall a fix gear craze involving playing volleyball indoors going on before mtbs was invented (might have made that bit up as i cant trust my brain to tell me the truth or if it just told me yeah here's a memory from eons ago filled under memories when it showed ave been in the weird dreams department!!)
