    I always get excited when I see a new Akrigg video is out and this one did not disappoint. Some of those moves at the abandoned building took some huge balls. Hopefully he releases some of the b-roll at some point like he's done in the past... it's usually cool to see him working up towards the stuff that makes it to the final edit.

    Did not realize climbing hills could look that cool
    I wear crocs for the style, not the comfort.

    Yep. I never tire of watching his stuff. He just handles his two wheeled machines in ways that I can hardly imagine.

    Was thinking that although Akrigg's trials skills (at least the final cuts) look as good as McCaskill and I've never seen McCaskill ride a downhill bike

    I'm planning on riding some building, with a little roof thrown in for good measure, and I'd like advice on the correct wheel size.

    It would be better if he had a broader skill set. Oh wait....
