This video doesn't even hold a candle to the Danny MacAskill video. So, unless Chris Akrigg has footage that was not included here, then the answer is No, Chriss Akrigg is not the next Danny MacAskill. Way to over-hype something. Seriously, just because you get paid to plug this video, don't spread it on too thick. It's a nice video, it's very lovely, he's a very competent rider, but it's not anywhere near the Inspired Bikes video or the Next Level Street Trials or the Way Back Home videos that MacAskill did.
Different terrain to be sure, but also a different level of creativity involved. This is just competent downhill riding, with a little trials flair, nothing more.
Your "Danny MacAskill who?" comment just makes you look like a tool.
