I know. I know. I’ve big-upped Chris Akrigg before, but I am an unabashed fan. In my dreams I can ride like this. For those who are unaware of this guy, imagine what Danny MacAskill does but in a much grimier, less produced, less choreographed way. I love me some Danny MacAskill videos. Make no mistake. But Chris Akrigg rides what he finds, and he finds a lot of gnarly nonsense.
