Chris Akrigg

Athlete Bio

If you watch just one mountain bike video this year make sure it’s a Chris Akrigg video. Chris can pick up any bicycle and do things that the laws of physics shouldn’t allow. Just watch his Mongoose video Five and you will see just what we mean. Living in a small town in Yorkshire, UK, Chris has found a niche that suits him just fine which is making amazing videos that show off his skills. But he’s not all videos, Chris has been known to compete in random events and even winning them like the 2010 Cobble-Wobble and the Redbull Mini Drome event where he actually had to bunny hop over a fallen rider! When off the bike, you’ll likely find Chris enjoying a pint or a good cup of tea.
