@@SkillsWithPhil next time your in Asheville you should do a group ride like the old days..youve got a lot of fans out here that would love to shred some pisgah with ya..great video like always my guy🤙🤙🤙
Seriously. I know he just creates content for the fun and because he enjoys it, but I think Phil is very underrated. I wonder how many people in the mountain bike community on sites like Instagram actually know of him. I have never seen a clip of his shared as a reel for example.
I am so envious, you men are courageous. Im on the edge of my chair as the riders now a day do things we couldn't even imagine could be done on a bike. We had some tough bikes in my day, but no suspension and only Benedick brakes in the 1940s. It was the sudden stops that killed or broke us.I wonder if I would have had the guts to ride like you guys even with the kind of bikes you have.
You start small. All these jumps also exist in much much smaller versions. So they are a challenge for me. Some of the much much smaller ones I still don't do. Guys like Phil, however, are sick to death. I think that's clear.
I'm in the market for wheels. I found I somehow I subscribed your channel so I got back in there and BOOM this is the first video is see in your feed. NOBL WHEELS, YOU SAY? Trevor just got a Black Friday customer. The system works!
As you know the camera underplays the jumps too! That second to last jump was gnarly. I was not planning on hitting those jumps, but it just felt right at the time.
had no idea that you ripped that hard Phil. Time in tune in on the regular. Super cool vid. Thought about heading down there this weekend. I'm up in Cumberland...but geez, that's over my head I think. Got me very amped for what's in my own backyard though!
Thanks for your attention to detail with 4K processing, even though I only watch on a 4K display maybe a 1/3 of the time, its bitrate really does make such a massive difference in the viewing experience when it comes to mtb videos, even in a window on a monitor or a phone. 🙏
@@SkillsWithPhil I still recommend people do that if they're not willing to shoot and edit in 4K, drives me wild seeing otherwise good mtb content ruined but shitty 1080 bitrates!
To answer your tree question: What you had in your hand was Douglas Fir. Doug fir only grows from coastal northern california, Oregon Washington and halfway up coastal British Columbia but provides 70% of the worlds building and construction Lumber. The coastal forests around the Pacific Northwest are also filled with red and yellow cedar and Hemlock and occasionally some Sitka Spruce. Hardwoods in the boggy wet areas would be mainly Alder and Maple. Once you get towards Kamloops youll see a lot of Ponderosa Pine. As a born and raised PNW resident and mountain biker, I learned a whole new appreciation for the forests once I started working the logging industry. Plus I get to find the sickest spots to build trails that I otherwise wouldnt have ever known about 🤙
It's always fun getting to experience new places. I'd heard so much about the island but finally experiencing it, i get why is so many incredible riders originate from there. And you aren't kidding, Prevost was quite the introduction!
Your flow and style is insanely cool man. I just recently got a new bike and I’ve been bingeing your videos to try and learn a thing or two. Big love from New Zealand!
So cool man. That's some decent hang time on those jumps you hit dude. Linking a load like that for the first time, what a buzz dude. The skill's with Phil for sure! (Yeah sorry that was a bit corny)
Been bingeing on Phil videos and this one made me way more nervous (and I live in the PNW). The sound of the gravel in that soil kept making me think something was going to give way under him at the worst moment. However, Our Hero again prevailed with good humor and grace. #ohmeoflittlefaith
Something we rarely see is 3rd person video of your riding. Watching pops into orbit is amazing but seeing your body position and movements behind your riding… that’s something I’d pay for. Especially with slow motion explanation.
Really enjoyable video Phil! It always amazes me how top-tier riders like yourself ride these trails with such ease. Awesome riding and I just love the stoke factor, great video! 🤙
Hey phill awesome job in these trails ur amazing!😁😁😁 Edit 1: ur biking is awesome but I have to say that the way u in courage your friends is a whole lot more amazing. Keep up the awesome work👍👍🚲🚲😁😁
Kid not, had this playing at .75 playback speed ... Phil sounded like he was drunk, but that's all that gave it away after watching for 3 minutes. Still thought he was flying at 25% less speed. LEGEND 🔥✌️
You were definitely feeling the flow through that jump line section. It was like you weren’t so sure about it, but it was just feeling right and you kept it up till that one deep landing. So fun to watch.
flipping awesome vid, after i hit the blue comment button, watching it again! need to see another you and Nate Hills chasing each other video...go to Europe together and ride for a week...please!
I suspect you had trouble acclimating to the trail because the soil composition has a different feel. I'm used to riding clay and sand in Utah. Suddenly hitting spongy and a little more grippy loam in BC requires a couple of hours to figure out. Adding water on top just compounds the issue with the variable trail conditions. You picked it up pretty fast! I'm envious and want to ride this trail.
@10:06 those are Douglas fir (pseudotsuga menziesii) scientific name those are common trees out there sorta like the white pines back home here in the east.
I just started mountain biking recently to get some cardio in on days I can't ride my dirt bike and this shit that ya'll do absolutely blows my mind. Holy shit
1:37 "I'm a fish out of water",, I think that with a lot of these videos with these narrow down hill courses. I wish I new about this when I was physically able 😂
Hey Phil! Awesome Vid! This place looks Rad. Our local hill really looks like Mount Prevost and i'm sure you'd have a blast down here. It's on the east coast and it's called Pin-Rouge, in the Gaspe Peninsula Area, in QC. You probably know Sugarloaf Bike Park in New Brunswick, it's about an hour away from that and we have amazing terrain! If ever you come back down to QC, come and try it! :)
Those have to be the gnarliest jumps I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable balls to hit those like that, they had to be 10 ft tall take offs and nearly vertical.
Thanks for visiting Phil! Still can't believe you hit most of that stuff blind, you're a mad man!
Thanks for convincing me to swing by the island. Prevost alone was one of the coolest experiences I've had on a bike!
@@SkillsWithPhil next time your in Asheville you should do a group ride like the old days..youve got a lot of fans out here that would love to shred some pisgah with ya..great video like always my guy🤙🤙🤙
Hey Trevor, curious what hydration pack you have! Thanks!
@@jinavl know
DUDE. That was insane to watch.
20:17 "What are you, ahhh" - Have to love the blind trail riding commentary
17:52 that mid air “whoops…” was hilarious this guys skills are almost incomprehensible lol
Oh man that made me giggle. Same when the rolled the road gap.

The good news is if you sent it back then, you would have definitely sent it now!
@@iamdamo Totally!

These guys are professionals!
"What is this?" *sends it* "WHOAAA! HAHA!"
Glad the NOBL guys took you to Prevost 😅
That place is honestly terrifying and so fun at the same time!
I'm in the market for wheels. I found I somehow I subscribed your channel so I got back in there and BOOM this is the first video is see in your feed. NOBL WHEELS, YOU SAY? Trevor just got a Black Friday customer. The system works!
Wasn't expecting the jump line to be so legit! You laauuunched that one at 17:54 haha
As you know the camera underplays the jumps too! That second to last jump was gnarly. I was not planning on hitting those jumps, but it just felt right at the time.
@@SkillsWithPhil You know they nuts when you hold your breath.
Max seems like a really chilled laid back guy who shreds hard :) I like him.
Max is pretty awesome, his camera work is pretty on point too!
watching you hit that creek gap blind is insane, you are wild Phil
Great riding. Even more impressive considering you can’t ride year round on the east coast. You don’t take long to get back to 100% 😂 Love it.
Being off the bike just makes me more hungry too ride when i can. Breaks keep things fresh :)
@@SkillsWithPhil you're not wrong there man. Im on my bike all the time and im constanstly knackered lol
Doesn't matter where you ride and even if it's the first time you've ridden the trail, you fly bro! Phenomenal stuff, with a laugh. ✌🏻
had no idea that you ripped that hard Phil. Time in tune in on the regular. Super cool vid. Thought about heading down there this weekend. I'm up in Cumberland...but geez, that's over my head I think. Got me very amped for what's in my own backyard though!
This is for sure (some of) the gnarliest and versatile riding I have seen this year..Holy fuck dude. Love it :D! Those "BMX-jumps" looked so huge..
🎶F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me, N is for any trail anytime at all, out here in the green forestryyyyyyyy 🎶🎶

🙏
Back in the older UA-cam days, we'd upscale 1080p to 4k just for the better bit rate. It's amazing how much of a different it makes.
@@SkillsWithPhil I still recommend people do that if they're not willing to shoot and edit in 4K, drives me wild seeing otherwise good mtb content ruined but shitty 1080 bitrates!
Phil... you need to move there. The way you slayed those trails was INSANE.

They are my local trails and now I know how good a rider you are! Nice work Phil!
One of your better videos/rides. I really enjoyed living vicariously through this one!
That’s beautiful! Just a nice ride. No rockets, no air raids, no murders. You are happy person! Love your stuff! Hello🇺🇦
Those trails are so fast! You were sending it like crazy especially after a long winter👍
I'd love to see a Yoann, Remy and Steve colab while you are in Canada
hell yea. that would be the dream🤘
As an islander..... Nice seeing Prevost on your channel. Prevost ain't no joke.
It's always fun getting to experience new places. I'd heard so much about the island but finally experiencing it, i get why is so many incredible riders originate from there. And you aren't kidding, Prevost was quite the introduction!
Glad you got the chance to hit these trails. The Whistler videos were really good, but this one was excellent.
This is one of my favorite vids for a long time, it looked awesome out there. Great hangtime on the jumps man hahaha.
Your flow and style is insanely cool man. I just recently got a new bike and I’ve been bingeing your videos to try and learn a thing or two. Big love from New Zealand!
I've watched your vids for a couple of years. This is my fave by far. So glad you went back to that BMX jump section. That shit was killer!
I need some time to adapt...then absolutely rip everything that comes up on the trail..epic again Phil.
This channel just keeps getting better and better, so cool.
I wish I was as good as you, you pick such weird lines, but they work!
I just love how Phil is giggling when he crashes... Absolute legend!
So cool man. That's some decent hang time on those jumps you hit dude. Linking a load like that for the first time, what a buzz dude. The skill's with Phil for sure! (Yeah sorry that was a bit corny)
21:45
Phil: "Wait, where are we goin'?"
"Uhhhh, down."
🤣

Wow, I cannot believe I watched this from start to finish. So envious and so much fun every time there's gap, haha.
The airtime on those box style boosters was wild. My stomach flipped watching.
Stoked to see you ride Prevost. That mountain would be right up your alley.
The BC gnar humbles many people humanizes riders. Amazing riding as always Phil you’re slot of fun to watch
Really enjoyable video Phil! It always amazes me how top-tier riders like yourself ride these trails with such ease. Awesome riding and I just love the stoke factor, great video! 🤙
Man Phil your videos never disappoint, this one was particularely good. Insane riding
Hey phill awesome job in these trails ur amazing!😁😁😁
Edit 1: ur biking is awesome but I have to say that the way u in courage your friends is a whole lot more amazing. Keep up the awesome work👍👍🚲🚲😁😁
This was fantastic. So good, Phil! Loved all of it!
Epic first minute of upload and the video looks so sick already YEW
This is some impressive shit! When it looks gnarly on camera you know it’s insanely gnarly in person.
This really should be the most subscribed to mtb channel on UA-cam
Kid not, had this playing at .75 playback speed ... Phil sounded like he was drunk, but that's all that gave it away after watching for 3 minutes. Still thought he was flying at 25% less speed. LEGEND 🔥✌️

I don't know why but Phil in BC and the west coast of Canada just makes so much sense
What a phenomenal video to wake up to on my birthday! Great riding Phil with some other awesome riders, hope I can make it out to BC someday.
This whole video is absolutely terrifying tbh. Great riding Phil, you're a beast!
Place looks awesome. Solid footage, one of your most unique videos in awhile
Dream trails and killer riding... Phil is the King.
Wow, one of your best videos yet. Insane dude
This place looks unreal. Great job getting comfortable so quickly and finding the flow on those large features
Took a bit to hone into the terrain and even then still wish i had more time. The first 5 mins of lap one i felt like bamby on ice!
@@SkillsWithPhil can only imagine, hardly resembles the northeast 😆
Best Mtb video ever I want to see this place again
Bro, you are my favourite rider ever. U inspired me to ride. U are the bestttt
Amazing footage. Sick trails.
flipping awesome vid, after i hit the blue comment button, watching it again! need to see another you and Nate Hills chasing each other video...go to Europe together and ride for a week...please!
Wicked sick dirt in the woods! Thank you for the great video!🤘
oooohhhh prolly one of your best vids so farrrr. damnn
Hands down one of your best videos !!!!

16:09 I love how you accidentally... JUMPED A ROAD
@10:06 those are Douglas fir (pseudotsuga menziesii) scientific name those are common trees out there sorta like the white pines back home here in the east.
Not a Hemlock?
Aaaah. Douglas Fir sapling growing right in front of what looks like a Hemlock.
Nice work on the last drop! Next stop - RB Rampage!
another banger of a video by Phil once again!
Great job Phil! The video really doesn't do Prevost or your skill justice, a lot of those trails you were on are crazy steep!
I just started mountain biking recently to get some cardio in on days I can't ride my dirt bike and this shit that ya'll do absolutely blows my mind. Holy shit
Your riding is so fun to watch! Simply amazing !!!
1:37 "I'm a fish out of water",, I think that with a lot of these videos with these narrow down hill courses. I wish I new about this when I was physically able 😂
This is an iconic place. Epic video and your riding was fire.
I am watching this on my iPhone, so I can’t fully appreciate being able to choose the 2160p setting. Thanks for the focus on quality 😍
Came here from the Portal Trail video. Great videos, great rider! 👍
Western Hemlock, or Douglas Fir, most likely.
I'd guess fir from the other trees in the area.
9:28 have u seen the athertons???
Great Video.. Ill have to check it out the next time I'm on the Island. Love my NOBL wheelset
Good to see some actual footage of you riding rather than the POV stuff. Be good to see more as you can learn more about your body positions etc
Phil's bottle cage is awesome. it held the bottle while he was
hitting those big jumps.👍
What a BEAST! Amazing rider and great content!
17:35 this jump section is the best thing ever!
Those last few jumps were insane. The video does not do them justice.
@@SkillsWithPhil I believe that.
Ive seen them in a couple of videos before, without anyone riding them.
So it was super sick to see you ride them💪🏼
@@SkillsWithPhil the hang time your getting is craaazzyyyy
Another quality video!!
Thanks Phil
Sick riding Phil!
Gnarly jumps mate, you really know how to shred!
God I love the way you ride and watching your videos! Great content as always
Superb riding boys, what a pleasure to watch!
Hey Phil! Awesome Vid! This place looks Rad.

You probably know Sugarloaf Bike Park in New Brunswick, it's about an hour away from that and we have amazing terrain! If ever you come back down to QC, come and try it! :)
That was awesome! Hitting most of that blind is unreal!
Man you guys make it look so easy!!
Phil I really like watching you ride.
It inspires me to be better. I’ve got a long way to go
No worries Phil .... the better informed of us know they 'forgot' to tell you they were running a 'Shorty' front and back right there 😅😅
You make me feel uncomfortable when I watch your POV, so many times I think you're gonna wash out or hug a tree it's absolutely insane! Props to you
Love the content keep it up man 😁
You're a legend Phil!
"Which way are we going?"
"Uhhhh down..."
I seriously LOLed.
Phil the tree you picked looks like a hemlock. Cant tell 100% since i'm not their but i am fairly confident :) great video.
Those have to be the gnarliest jumps I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable balls to hit those like that, they had to be 10 ft tall take offs and nearly vertical.
Wow, your best video in a while.
HI Phil, I really like your videos can't stop watching them.
