Skills With Phil I'm taking my brother who is not a Mountain bikes on a long ride at Lake Tahoe he will be on a nice demo bike and I made a list of parking lot thinks we will workout then ride the trails. I will as the curb one and riding between the rocks
I'm sure he's going to have a blast and even more so with a little guidance from you! I'm glad I could help give you some starting points. Have fun out there!!
Skills With Phil thanks man because of your videos I am seriously interested in your evil bike so that is what I'm going to demo. I race enduro and do you think with the geometry of that bike will work in my favor rather then a ridiculous amount of travel. Because I don't like the feel of that much travel.
56yo " beginner " here..haven't been on bike in over 20 years, acquired a Trek 820 for service award, using it for fitness, weight loss and fun...large guy loving the exercise...1st ride frightened me like a 5yr old learning..lol..2nd ride still haven't come up off the seat for anything..3rd, 4th..improvements daily...up off seat for rough areas, moving weight opposite turns, beginning to transfer weight..still haven't mastered pedaling while standing..(bike jerks, not smooth)..after 2 weeks haven't had it on trail yet..anyhoo..my point is, this video is more simple to understand than any of the others I have watched thus far. Awesome uploads on YT on MTB skills from many riders..however, you seem to put the info out that makes me anxious to get out and practice..thanks..new sub..
You like me grew up riding WITHOUT a helmet. Just a reminder in case you jumped into the sport without a helmet; it is a REALLY good idea (essential) that you get one. (Not trying to be condescending here. Just a friendly reminder from another old guy who starts things when he gets excited about them too.)
Matt Snyder I’m 59, and a few years ago I started biking again. I’ve had a few unplanned crashes - two on asphalt going about 15-20 mph, and the other about that same speed descending on a dirt trail. One crash was only a few blocks away from the house. I’m here to write this because my helmets have saved my life. Wear a helmet, no matter how short the ride...it could save your life. Really.
@@richarde1355 thank you man, yes its really wise and nessesary to invest in a helmet.. Even when you think your just going to be back in an hour, its just a short and safe ride.. Better take that helmet with you and put it on.. Yesterday i was biking i had my helmet on, but at one point after a short break i forgot to click the straps in again haha.. And it was kinda dangerous as it was downhill with a lot of high roots and fast, narrow way with trees in the middle so i was glad that i didnt fall or else it would be pretty bad when the helmet couldnt protect me as it wasnt strapped in.. Anyway, i kinda feel unsafe on my bike still, i hope it comes with time as it was my second ride yesterday and i dont feel like im in full control of my bike and my body.. Thats why i searched for this video and i think it would be wise to train this skills and get a better feel for the bike, before trying harder trails.
As someone who only learnt how to ride a bike 3 weeks ago (16 years old) and had a nice crash going down a fairly narrow path on a slight incline after about 3 hours of riding on my hardtaill, this video was a great help!
Thanks Phil I'm a 34 yr old total beginner and got a lil bike happy taking out mtn bike for first time on a steep, very narrow trail for my first time... and after a few almost falls and fails I biked home and found this video! I WILL conquer this trail soon but will practice these drills first lmao
Great Vid, used to be very agile on my BMX in my youth, but now i'm an oldie and I'm now getting into MB. You vid made me realise I have only been focused on tools and bike spec, I forgot I also need to re-learn this type of control to save on bruises and blushes! Thanks, you've gained a well deserved sub.
Fantastic video, thank you Phil! I started riding mountain bikes coming from a BMX background around 1998 and wish this video was available back then. I've learnt to do most of what's in here - the hard way, and the long way over time. It's a great refresher to watch, and I learnt a new trick too! Who says an old dog can't, haha.
Awesome sauce!! That was so useful!! I've been MTB riding for a couple of years now and I always get stuck at the same technical spot every time, at every trail. I always work strength and endurance, but never technique. All of the technique videos I've watched were way too technical so I never bothered. But this video really kept the skills attainable!! Thanks!!
Cycled all my life, but always on road. Recently, after moving to Alberta, the spirit has struck me to go get a mountain bike and start playing in the Rockies. Haven't even got the damn bike yet, but this video is making me drool for it! Excellent video with great tips for a beginner, thanks!
Growing up in late 70s early 80s we did this almost daily competing with each other...bunny hops, side kicks, ramps on cinder blocks, wheelies and LOTS of wipeouts.
Thanks Phil, this is exactly what I meant when I said "tricks for Novices-that-have-only-ever-done-regular-basic-mountainbiking-but-want-to-do-some-pretty-sweet-tricks"
I always loved riding my old bmx bike on the sidewalls as a kid. All that movement practice really helped when I took up mountain biking as an adult. Mountain bikes are basically just fancy bmx bikes anyway
Hi Phil. Love your videos. Our Kids of Mud program here in Winnipeg has gone online. A brave new world for all of us. Your basic Mountain Bike videos have been a real help. Thanks
I really like this video as I am an older rider who got a late start to mountain biking. I will absolutely practice these skills. Thanks for the great content.
Wow, this cleared up quite a bit of my issues I was having as a beginner rider. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy to understand- slowing the video to show exactly what your body was doing. I’ve got scoliosis and it’s been really hard to turn right on tight trails. I’ll try your suggestions. Thank you
Ive been biking to and from work every day for aboit 3 years now. Road bike though, different, but not by a lot, almost all of these are very useful for road biking as well. Thanks
Currently have a bike on layaway (2017 Giant trance advanced 2) to begin learning to ride again since it has been years. This video and others are going to be super helpful so thank you :)
Phil! I love these videos. I have been studying them for awhile. I bought a 90s rigid MTB last year to hold myself over while I saved up for a Roscoe 7, which I just bought. The Roscoe (or probably most updated bikes, ha) feels AWESOME!!! I can apply these skills much better. It is very easy to get behind the seat even all the way up, and on my old bike the reach was so long, it was too hard. Easy to get loose on like in this video as well. Thanks for all of your help. I want to go rent and get a lesson at Highland sometime! Don't live too, too far away.
literally taking my first few rides into MTB. This video is really helpful and easy to understand. please can you do something that explains what all the tech talk is about, clearly explaining all the terms for each bike component and its effect of MTB over road riding etc. big ask but there's little content like that for new riders.
As kids we played a game we called "Hassle". We defined a play space. Car park. Small section of a playground. Whatever. Now all players start with 3 lives. Without contact (no ramming/pushing) the idea was to cut up the other riders and force them to put a foot down. If a rider puts a foot down, they loose a life. Once they loose all 3 lives, they are out until the next round. It's a low speed game and becomes a real game of balance at low/no speeds. I am so glad I played this growing up, as even now, in my mid 40's, I can stop and balance my MTB with ease.
Great video! I'm just seeing this now for the first time, but some of these I had tried teaching a friend on her first time on a mountainbike. I find the track stand indispensable, I use it on a pretty regular basis. I ride clipped in on pretty technical terrain, and if I stall or need to pause for a moment to pick a line, it's nice to be able to do that and remain on the bike. Also, the pedal ratchet helps a lot, I like it on technical climbs where a pedal strike is likely, and also when going through deep water. Keep up the great work!
This helped me revise my Training and focus on some aspects of my technique , even if this video is for beginners i feel that experienced riders can use this to relook their technique :) also nice tyre combo! i run Magic Mary's and Maxxis Ikons so im abit of a special snowflake from your Singapore rider Philippe (coincidentally)
This video is old but... The idea of being able to ride balanced on one side of the bike saved me years ago when i broke my shoulder over three miles from the closest exit to the trail i was riding. Stood on one pedal and coasted the rest of the way out with my good arm.
You make it look so easy yet track standing took months to learn. gotta put in the work still :) Love what you do man. Keep it up. And almost 100K subs man!
I should’ve watched these before wiping out many times st Trestle and Keystone this past weekend. First time on a mountain bike too. Trial by fire. These would’ve helped to practice before the trip
Used to be a bmx rider (extreme) during my younger days and those tricks are like eating an egg. Now I'm aged and bought an mtb and it has been like 20 years since I had a good ride. I find it freaking difficult to do even the most basic balancing (prolly lost my confidence) and now I am back to start and basics. Mtb is really difficult for a starter. I love your vids and I'll use this as a guide to build my confidence again. I can't even turn left without having my heart skip a beat. Hahaha
One of the most valuable MTB tech video ever watch. By the way I was asking myself if basic balance training will help me to be faster in flat corner. Do you have any video about that?
An easy way to get a push start on your bike is stand on the right or left of the bike both hands on the handle bars then if you are on the left side of the bike put your left foot on the pedal then with your right foot push off like a scooter constantly then mount your bike. If your are on the fight side try it like that. Use this in a trail maybe if you have crashed and need some speed
Enjoyed your vids from day 1 thx.A couple of ideas for future playlist.Carbon fibre bikes toughness.Also which nuts bolts can be replaced with titanium or carbon and using the lightest high endurance expensive parts to make a mountain bike light as possiblest without breaking..Lastly a anti theft gps tracker hidin on bike alerting our androids or apples or windows with no subscription yearly payolas..that work in North America. .Keep up the tutorials Tim McDroid
What a great collection! I would add braking skills in the collection. I have had flying over the handlebar so many times because of the bad downhill braking or just not prepared for the sudden stop (wrong body position). I found out later that the bad braking modulation (just bad brakes) causing my problems. I hate low end brakes because they lock out more easily. Anyways if you fly over the handlebar - lesson learned :-) LOL
first thing I did was go after a black diamond trail... kitsuma peak. only ate it once toward the bottom, tried to jump and jumped into the mountain side because I didn't know what I was jumping at. not the dumbest thing I've ever done, I only fucked up my front brake lever, was planning to upgrade to saints anyway. >:P I'd attribute both my success to you-tubers like you giving out the good advice, and my failure to watching the sick AF stuff you do and wanting to do it.

gotta stand on those pedals
It’s been 5 years now, how are you getting on? Still riding at all?
Excellent video.. I can't wait to fall off, call in sick and tell my boss the reason why I'm injured
+schuletrip I'll write you a Doctor's note 😂

It's been 2 years! Did you call in sick once? XD
@@dylanewelch You realise that you just said the baitest lie ever? Do you really think anyone would believe you? Jackass KID

Lol, same
get a cheap used one for fun
+Habibur Rahman haha I don't know why but thanks for watching, maybe you'll get a bike pretty soon :)
i got a "giant" boulder 2007 bike but the qaulity is better than a walmart bike got it for $20 at a thrift shop

good video..with REAL WORLD biking needs..and not just for beginners either..Thanks Phil
Thank you. These are some of the things I used to do as a kid that helped me learn :)
The best trick is a double backflip
How 'bout a flip whip?
Xenoph how about a triple whip-flip 😉
I'll put the double backflip in my next beginner bike skills video :)
Skills With Phil could be titled "Dream big" :D
Mtb JIMMY 123 cashroll tailwhip is the best trick
Thanks Phil I'm a 34 yr old total beginner and got a lil bike happy taking out mtn bike for first time on a steep, very narrow trail for my first time... and after a few almost falls and fails I biked home and found this video!

Your explanations are getting better/more useful. Keep it up! Trying to ride my huffy more in anticipation of a new bike.
Thanks Phil! I am an "improver" and your work is helping me a lot. One day I am going to pull a wheelie!
Growing up in late 70s early 80s we did this almost daily competing with each other...bunny hops, side kicks, ramps on cinder blocks, wheelies and LOTS of wipeouts.

I mastered tire splitting thanks to dead cockroachs in apartment.
These look like really good warm-ups too especially the balance thingy
The demonstration and explanation both A+, thank you dude for such a outstanding video.
Awesome video with awesome settings for the average urban dwelling eternal beginner but forever entousiast.
Workin overtime on the weekend. Nice job!
Trying to make things happen!
I love the help and humility. thanks Phil.
Thanks for producing these videos Phil they have improved my downhill & technical riding dramatically
I'm stoked to hear that you're making so much progress dude!
awesome set of drills Phil. I need to do these. I even picked up a set of those orange cones after your last drill video.
Really nice video and thanks for teaching some beginner skills this will help us a lot
Great information thanks I’ll start right away. 🚵♀️💪🤙✌️😎
This is real beginner things to do thanks for the help

Damn, I've been doing these while in the parking lots waiting to go biking. Good to know me messing around might have been helping too!
Damn I need a full suspension. 😂
Gonna upgrade my GT Aggressor hardtail fist though
Arbiter MTB get a altitude
Ezra begin Depends on where he lives. Altitudes are pretty big bikes.

+Whiplash like any balancing drill, it's really hard at first but as you do it, it gets easier and easier. I used to suck at it.
Nice work Phil, as an experienced rider I think I can also learn from and practice this stuff.
omg your right by my house in Williston VT by zephy rd. I bike through there all the time.
Where is he I'm in nh lol
Wow, this is the best beginner skills video ever!
i been riding scents the 90's but i love your skills videos! the stuff you come up with is great practice! thank you! and come to durango co
I like how you tell what these exercises are good for.
Hey Phil, I ride a hard tail bike. So how do you recommend popping the back wheel up? I seem to struggle with that.
same way
thanks for the great video. simple but very important also easy to practice
The second one I thought myself to do encodasse I just found it fun to do that. I didn’t even know it was a skill.
I should’ve watched these before wiping out many times st Trestle and Keystone this past weekend. First time on a mountain bike too. Trial by fire. These would’ve helped to practice before the trip
The most essential skill to learn is the roost!
+RoostVille certainly fun but maybe not the most useful haha
We need more ROOST!!
Inb4> every person in your comment section thinks roosting is skidding round a berm with a foot out
um try again sweetie
WE NEED MORE ROOST!
Thanks - going to try some of these drills!
Nice video, still find hard to trackstand but with that tip
I hope I can get better at it
Thanks!
Im 13 years old and this helped me a lot!
Great tips, demo and explanations!
Good explanation for fun tricks!
Great video with a lot of solid information. Scott
Used to be a bmx rider (extreme) during my younger days and those tricks are like eating an egg. Now I'm aged and bought an mtb and it has been like 20 years since I had a good ride.
I find it freaking difficult to do even the most basic balancing (prolly lost my confidence) and now I am back to start and basics. Mtb is really difficult for a starter.
I love your vids and I'll use this as a guide to build my confidence again. I can't even turn left without having my heart skip a beat. Hahaha

Cool vid Phil, it's great to see you helping riders of all abilities 😎
+James Forrester That's the only way to grow the sport :)
No doubt but some people forget where they started. You're always quite humble despite the fact that you kill it on a bike 👍🏼
+James Forrester I definitely try to think back to how I used to learn things myself and then revisit those things.

Good braking skills are very important, I agree.
Yay, no bunny hop that means im not a beginner anymore XD
Calvin Chang Hahaha!!! Same
Calvin Chang Omg it is so so so fun to bunny hop!! Oohhh but you can't...
Great material! Good music choice for this video.
Awesome info dude, thanks!
just watched this vid very helpful and infomational!!!!
Thanks for posting!
Hairpin turns get me every time, I need to do some of these drills. Great stuff, Phil!
Great beginner video!
Great video love watching all your blogs still can't manual for my life 😂😂😂
+Stewart Summerside there's one thing watching videos can't teach and that is practice. That's the most important part.
Hey Phil, I have trouble lifting my back wheel... I'm on a hard tail BTW
Great wee skill Phil
Liked the video! Could you do a video about your cane creek helm
first thing I did was go after a black diamond trail... kitsuma peak.
only ate it once toward the bottom, tried to jump and jumped into the mountain side because I didn't know what I was jumping at. not the dumbest thing I've ever done, I only fucked up my front brake lever, was planning to upgrade to saints anyway. >:P
I'd attribute both my success to you-tubers like you giving out the good advice, and my failure to watching the sick AF stuff you do and wanting to do it.
No. 7 tire grab triple frontflip whip
Great ideas here!
