I love the sound of I-9 Hydras lol. Killer bees with light oil or an authoritative quiet buzz with light grease. Both are great hubs. But there’s great joy in killer bee mode gaining steadily on someone below and ahead of you :)
This is the first of your videos I've seen from this camera angle, and it's actually really helpful for those of us wanting to get a sense of what you're doing with the bike, vs. just seeing what you see.
To your comment of more kids riding.. yeah I think mtb and skiing/sbn are great family sports. I really enjoy watching my daughter progress. She has a passion for it. It is great family time and good outdoor time. Watching you go through those trees, like watching a video game! Great stuff keep it up please
It's amazing to see Skully's evolution. Went from muddy loam with ruts & flat corners (2017) into a superhighway (2021). It's super fun now with how fast it is, but I'm glad I rode it before to appreciate the work that went into it!
I didn't like this angle at first but then realized that it does a pretty good job at countering the go pro effect as well as allowing you to see way down the trail. Good stuff, Phil.
Hi mate, I bought a mountain bike (Giant Trance 3 2020) after watching your Whistler videos. Absolutely loving it!!! (living on Sydney's Northern Beaches). Keep up posting awesome videos. Cheers
It’s so awesome to see how my old stomping grounds have grown, As I went to private school in Williston, when I was there Cochrans was just a one rope tow and two runs, it looks like it has gotten way bigger. I also enjoy seeing that Bolton ski area put in bike trails, also seeing snowboard footage from the winter brought me back! How has catamount family recreation area grown? you should do a video there as well.
Nice to see you and your bike dancing down the trails Phil. btw, got my AbsoluteBlack Oval chainring in the right size this time - so nice. The first one was a bit large for my bike but worked under sag, anyway, got a 32 tooth to replace it but in the meantime went back to my original round chainring - now 2 rides later though chunder tech - my legs are so much happier and climbs not such a drag. Really have to develop the trails round here - not a heap of elevation but some great tech forest trails following the forest harvester tracks.
I’ve been thinking about taking a trip over to Cochran’s for a while now. I’ve not ridden their before and it looks super fun! If you haven’t gone in a while I would highly suggest Cafu Hill! Thanks for the great video!
The extra wide angle is both cool and weird. It gives a really warped view of your arms, but at the same time we're also seeing just how much bodywork is going in to your riding. Hello Haley!
WoW! How I have missed videos of Phil fucking flying through the woods! I’d say he like the 29 inch wheels are still pretty agile! Great riding ! Love the video!
Been watching your videos for 2 weeks straight. Went to sky park in Santa's Village in So Cal. yesterday. It was pretty sick hit my first double black diamond and black diamond run. It was the only place open Snow Summit and all of the National Forest from Mammoth to TJ is closed because of Fire.
I have to say. Even though I ride BMX (street f/s) I love watching your videos. They have a totally different kind of adrenaline rush to them. I've thought about giving MTB a shot (more than just rolling through the woods near my house, but I'd eat it so bad on a mountain it wouldn't even be funny. Keep up the videos, I love watching them when they pop up!
Guess I know where we are headed this weekend! lived here all my life and sorry to say never been to cochrans :( Given Saxon Hill plenty of my life so time for something new!
Hey phil thanks to you I am getting back into biking and I'm making my next bike the polygon siskiu n9 with 27.5 size wheels and size medium so I can flick it around thank you for posting
I’m curious on whether your prefer the 29er now that you’ve spent time on both, or the 27.5. I made the changeover in the opposite direction with a Kona Process 153 in 27.5 and it’s now my favorite bike.
Love your videos. Wish there was a way for you to do a speedometer overlay in them just so we can see the speeds you hit on the trails. Think it would be cool.
Hey phil! would you ever considering upgrading to the new fox forks like the 36/38. Also, would you consider running a coil rear shock like a DHX2 or any other brand. if so, why or why not? Thanks!
The windscreen is doing quite a good job, but I would recommend turning off the Automatic Gain Control if the camera has an option. If you listen @7:55 or so you can hear the audio levels quite noticeably decrease as soon as you get rolling. That's basically just your camera automatically reducing the volume when the incoming sound gets large. It kind of sounds "muddy" or muffled when the AGC kicks in and I think your wind screen is doing a good enough job that you could do without it.
My home trails! Been sidelined with a broken leg and surgery since Feb, so getting in the woods isn't possible. I'm a VMBA/ Richmond Riders Club member and love seeing these trails so much. I hope you checkout Chamberlain! ..... and I wish you picked Visceral ;-)
Been looking at a black gt force elite 29 for a while now for the next bike but my mates gone and bought it, would you go for the bike you really want at the cost of having a matching bike with a pal or would you keep looking about for something different?
Love the riding, as always, Phil! Gotta say though, not sure how I feel about the new setup. Almost made it hard to watch for me. With that said, thanks for all the hard work! We appreciate it! 👍👊
That looked awesome. How did the 29er compare to your Force on those trails now that you have ridden both bikes there (assuming the last time you rode there was on the GT Force 27.5)?
I wish Hailey had her own videos when she rides with you. I would love to see a complete ride from her perspective.
I agree Hailey should definitely post some new videos on her channel
I feel like a baby kangaroo watching this xD
Haha I took me a while to get this
Literally pissed myself reading this
Hahaha 😂
Sonny O’Dare considered seeing a doctor?
Dobrze powiedziane 😉😉 siemanko
The field of view is tripping me out, you have the longest arms in the world!
Who else wanted to see Phil do the pump track???
yeah :D
Me, the fish eye perspective is so weird though
I like it
Love these trails! Buddy from my old school masterminded a lot of them. Don’t get to ride them as much as I would like anymore
YES NEW POV got tired of watching your whistler serie over and over lol
Dude.... same here😂😂
I like POV but the FOV was a little too wide angle, hard to watch.
John The Dwayn Rockson I don’t really like the new camera angle
Love the silent Onyx hubs, Phil! Good call!
I love the sound of I-9 Hydras lol. Killer bees with light oil or an authoritative quiet buzz with light grease. Both are great hubs. But there’s great joy in killer bee mode gaining steadily on someone below and ahead of you :)
@@mrsmartypants_1 bees chasing you makes you ride faster for sure
It’s alway weird seeing a place you’ve skied when there’s no snow.
Damn Phil... You got mad skillzzzzzz... flying down the trails!!!!
Thank you so much for the vid I love watching you.
Thanks my dude!
This is the first of your videos I've seen from this camera angle, and it's actually really helpful for those of us wanting to get a sense of what you're doing with the bike, vs. just seeing what you see.
YEAH PHIL HAS A NEW VIDEO!! I have been watching your whistler vids over and over and over the past few months lol.
This is exactly what I have been doing lol
Thanks for helping to put Vermont on the map! We’ve got the goods 🤘🏻🤘🏻
To your comment of more kids riding.. yeah I think mtb and skiing/sbn are great family sports. I really enjoy watching my daughter progress. She has a passion for it. It is great family time and good outdoor time. Watching you go through those trees, like watching a video game! Great stuff keep it up please
Love these Onyx hubs. thank you for spec'ing that; your videos are much more pleasant.
It's amazing to see Skully's evolution. Went from muddy loam with ruts & flat corners (2017) into a superhighway (2021). It's super fun now with how fast it is, but I'm glad I rode it before to appreciate the work that went into it!

I just got back riding my local trails and felt like I was flying. How does he double my speed! Phil is definitely my mountain bike idol.
Great to watch again a traditional Skills with Phil riding video. They are the best 👍
The tubing in the video is for the maple sugaring operation that the Cochran’s run.
Thank you! I was literally scrolling through the comments to see if anyone's asked the question.
@@Candesce lmao me too
@@Candesce Same here lol. Thanks !
I just learned something new
Thanks
Used to ski race at this hill, great family and a awesome little race hill!
You must really know those trails, the way you fly off little blind jumps and round corners gives me the willys!
Hi mate, I bought a mountain bike (Giant Trance 3 2020) after watching your Whistler videos. Absolutely loving it!!! (living on Sydney's Northern Beaches). Keep up posting awesome videos. Cheers
ok ... that was insane riding ... those trails are steep and gnarly and you made it look easy !!!
Awesome rolling, guys! On the DL for a few more weeks, but your content helps with the stoke! Thanks for sharing!

you should do a video there as well.
the wind noise sounds much quieter. Great video Phil. I just started a MTB channel of my own, and I hope to be like you one day!
Looks awesome! I'm definitely going to go check this place out!
Me: thats an impossible rock roll
Phil: Watch me do this in 3 tries
Phil is AMAZING
Thank you Phill for this video! Couldn't ride for two weeks and still can't, brings me joy watching this great POV action, cheers!
Its kinda refreshing to see the northeast as it looks very different from BC
I like the camera view. It gives a good perspective on how much you are leaning
Phils heart was pumpin at the prayer flags. lol
Cochrans is pretty fun. I've only been there once last fall with my brother who goes to UVM. It looks like they added some stuff. Cool.
Beautiful trails! Wish I lived in Vermont
Nice to see you and your bike dancing down the trails Phil.
btw, got my AbsoluteBlack Oval chainring in the right size this time - so nice.

I'll have to bring my bike up to Vermont next time I'm visiting my family, thanks for the great content.
Absolutely rippin!
Me: trying to do hw and zoom
Phil: Uploads a video
Me: This can wait I need to watch the new vid
Ur top comment again
So true
Why couldn't they use discord instead of zoom
@@blakejamieson389 all the gamer would troll on discord lol. i agree
You guys still have school? F to pay respects.
I like the versatility in the camera perspectives!
I’ve been thinking about taking
a trip over to Cochran’s for a while now. I’ve not ridden their before and it looks super fun! If you haven’t gone in a while I would highly suggest Cafu Hill! Thanks for the great video!

mad how much speed you get out of the little hunps you pump on. the sound your tire makes when you pump into them burms haha
I can't tell if your line is by choice, instinct, or maybe some luck, but wow lots of skill and fun to watch.
I really like the new view, thanks for spicing it up!
Phil has some of the best pov footage out there.
Awesome flown and pace! ✊ Inspiring 🤜🤛🙂
One heck of a trail. I'm here in New Mexico, so very dry. Cheers!
WoW! How I have missed videos of Phil fucking flying through the woods! I’d say he like the 29 inch wheels are still pretty agile! Great riding ! Love the video!

big fan Phil keep up the good work!
Cochran's is getting better all the time!
Skills with Phil gopro footage.
How I feel while riding.
Also how my gopro footage looks speed up 2X.
I have to say. Even though I ride BMX (street f/s) I love watching your videos. They have a totally different kind of adrenaline rush to them.

Love the angle
I love how you never really use the bars to steer, but use your feet and hips and it looks sooo smooth.
those trails look sick! might visit and use your video for direction
This vid makes Monday a a lot better
Those trails are rad!
Guess I know where we are headed this weekend! lived here all my life and sorry to say never been to cochrans :( Given Saxon Hill plenty of my life so time for something new!
That frame color is really growing on me. 🤩
This is sick I live in Montpelier I gotta hit these up. Used to Nordic ski up Cochran's for a race every year
Keep the work up Phil
The quiet Hub really makes a difference
Hey Phil, I saw you went to Mt. Snow 6 years ago. You should come again and see the changes they have made!
Awesome video ... dude you have zero fear 👀😆🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Phil - you best! Greetings from Russia)
Oh man these trails look awesome!
this track loook pretty fun to run!!
Looks legit! Can't wait till we can travel!
Will have to check Vermont trails one day, just realized I live 2h away from your spot (living in Quebec!)
Hey phil thanks to you I am getting back into biking and I'm making my next bike the polygon siskiu n9 with 27.5 size wheels and size medium so I can flick it around thank you for posting
Good choice!
I think this summer is gonna be a season of exploring parks without lift access due to limit capacities... This looks sweeeeet
Vermont looks so fun ! :D
yes it is
Clicked on this so fast
So does smugglers notch have a lift park for bikes yet??? That place I remember from 20 years back thinking it would be epic to roll on a bike
Phil is back and we are stoked🤘
This field of view is so sick. You can see everything. Plus I’m so used to your GT enduro that this bike just look so much different.
I’m curious on whether your prefer the 29er now that you’ve spent time on both, or the 27.5. I made the changeover in the opposite direction with a Kona Process 153 in 27.5 and it’s now my favorite bike.
It's hard to get over how _green_ it is there.
Love your videos. Wish there was a way for you to do a speedometer overlay in them just so we can see the speeds you hit on the trails. Think it would be cool.

I've done a ton of trail work on chamberlain, it's a great spot.
He's got such a wide camera angle that when I'm rollin it feels like I'm being caressed by phil😂😂
I’m going there next week! What do the farther upper trails have to offer any good trails?
The second half of the climb is a kick to the gut. I do it a few times a year, but I prefer doing loops of the lower trails.
Beautiful bike
Hey Phil, do you still have/ride the force? Or do you only have the sensor for now?
12:51-12:53 and that's skills with phil baby
I wish my local trails were this rad.
Been looking at a black gt force elite 29 for a while now for the next bike but my mates gone and bought it, would you go for the bike you really want at the cost of having a matching bike with a pal or would you keep looking about for something different?
Phil, just wondering if you're going to ESC at Killington VT in August?
Phill: "Alright, I'm in fun mode."
Hailey: "Crack mode."
Me: "😂😂😂"
Are those maple sap lines criss crossing all over the place?
Yep! You can buy the syrup too it’s a local brand
Love the riding, as always, Phil! Gotta say though, not sure how I feel about the new setup. Almost made it hard to watch for me.
With that said, thanks for all the hard work! We appreciate it! 👍👊
Yeah I like the normal Better
Where is that camera mounted?? Crazy cool perspective
Phil what is your stem? I get thrown off by the distortion. 40mm?
That looked awesome. How did the 29er compare to your Force on those trails now that you have ridden both bikes there (assuming the last time you rode there was on the GT Force 27.5)?
I got to ride Bolton Valley on Saturday. it is some of the gnarliest terrain I have ever seen.
Can you do a bolton video? It would be pretty sick.
It's one of the few old school riding places around.
