British trials rider Chris Akrigg has a new video destined to go viral.

‘Chris Cross’, Akrigg rides his Mongoose Selous cyclocross bike (a new model that has yet to be officially released) beyond the barriers, as he navigates muck and mire, hucks rocks and logs, and generally shreds harder on 'curly whirly bars' and 35mm wide rubber than most of us do on our mountain bikes.
