Phil, you just have to stop crashing! I learned this 30+ years ago. All your arms and legs(and head) need to work properly, if you want to keep riding. I am still riding mountain bikes and dirt bikes, at 70yrs. Raced dirt bikes for 15yrs., decided riding for the rest of my life was more important than racing and riding as fast as I could go. Haven't missed a week of riding my mountain bike and/or my dirt bike in 30yrs. I wear protective gear in case of small/low speed falls, but have had no crashes at speed to stop me from riding, since my decision. You can do it Phil!
“Those trees there, they can kill you……..HELL YEAH I’m gonna hit it” 😂😂 show the paramedics this video when they arrive 😂😂. Jokes aside this place looks amazing! 😮
I am a MTB tour guide/coach, just ride some blue trails until you get comfy and warmed up! Concern yourself with stability and safety, the speed will be a result of safe and stable riding! Go get it and be Down to Mob MTB style!
Keep riding bro! I am almost 35 but I feel it, we do not bounce back like we did in the mid 20's lol. Stuff stays sore and what Im finding is it never goes away lol. Remind yourself ride to ride another day. Feel better dude
Phil... im 62.... and mountain bike... ride electric dirt bikes.... dirtbikes (KTM 500 etc).... all the crashes (crashing sucks) are for the most part... all worth it, being that guy that's done all those things.. Id be lost without them in my life.. ya just move a little slower.. take it a little easier.. and realize your going to ache a lot more - cheers!
Next time out either go out alone or let the pack leave and wait 2 minutes. Find your own pace and let the joy creep in! With trail time your pace will gradually pick up without the competitive aspect pushing you to ride over your head..Works for me anyway.
Keep riding but stay off the black diamonds. I’m almost 50 and spend a lot of time riding dirt bikes with my 72 year old father in law (old school desert enduro racer). We both know our limits and are into sight seeing more now. Injuries hurt more and take a long time to heal as you age. Preserve your body so you can still enjoy life later on.
I got 40 Years of downhill skiing I'm 68 years old I cringed watch this video I'm sure not going to tell you what to do but my advice to myself is I never did do trees and I never did do jumps and I never did have surgery either and I used to do a lot of crazy s*** it ain't worth being a hero my friend was a ski Patrol trees don't move he's dead kudos to the crazies I was one😂
Phil, Colby is younger, he rides every day and weighs 50lbs less than you. Quit whining and get back on your bike just like your father used to tell you when you fell off your first bike😂
Keep riding Phil! I’m turning 40 real soon. Spent my 30’s finding my where my limit is… now I ride within my limits. My MTB mentor is in his 50’s!
Bro when you’re getting up from that spill the subtitles said “applause” after the ow and ahhh. Getting right back on does deserve an applause!

Great video Phil! Sorry you got hurt! Can’t wait to mob with you again on whatever it may be!
Injuries do catch up with you in your 50s & 60s, I can testify to that! My years of sports and other things have slowed me down a bit.

I used to ski Sunrise, family had cabin in Pinetop.

Don't be blaming age for not mountain biking, I'm 50 next year and riding techy trails, you are just missing seat time. Ride more! crash less.
If you have the opportunity to review the coyote extreme all electric. It would make a beautiful video.👍🇨🇦
I feel your next Rig is a Van of some kind! I get it butt I really miss the Dodge! It was what made you famous. Just saying!😊
