These Bike Park Jumps Are Completely Insane!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Gravity Logic was brought in to build the largest Jumps (open to the public) of any bike park in the world. The trail, known as Fort Hill, at Thunder Mountain, is by far the biggest proline in the world. The size of these jumps rivals the jumps at Whistler including Crabapple hits. Just standing on the edge of some of these lips is scary enough. If you're looking to hit the biggest mountain bike jumps in the USA, Fort Hill at thunder mountain bike park is the place for you.
Here's a fun fact: The trail name Fort Hill, is named after Fort Hill Brewery in Massachusetts. The owner is a mountain biker who sponsored this trail because he wanted bigger jumps on the Easy Coast of the USA. I'm not affiliated with the brewery, but if the owner is reading this, I'd like to personally thank you.
My [awesome] Sponsors!

Of Course, if you haven't seen the video where I took a department store bike down Hawleywood, it's worth checking out or revisiting. ua-cam.com/video/wkMnk_eCDQU/v-deo.html
I can't believe that was almost 4 years ago!
I only ride park
I love how they got your last name wrong on your card. I took a friend to Thunder earlier this year and they misspelled both our last names on our cards lol
@@Spiral81C1 I even showed my ID :P
@@Spiral81C1 This seems to be a recurring issue at Berkshire East
@@SkillsWithPhil I did too! It's almost like they do it on purpose but I can't imagine why they would lol
Watching Phil: How I feel when I'm riding
Watching Haley: How I actually look on film
Cameron Martin 🤣🤣 same here bru
I was thinking the same thing
And worse 😞
Same
Same here bro haha
Phil doesn't jump high, the earth just backs up to get a good view of his style.
Trail Features are chuck norris jokes are back in style!?
@@SkillsWithPhil No, you are the Chuck Norris of MTBing. So it's legit to create new ones. ^^
Chuck norris wears skills with phil pajamas
@@Jabz1325 🤣
It’s like a burn and a complement
I LOVE the Phil/ Haley sections showing two people with different skills and temperaments enjoying the same trail at their own pace and both having a great time.
Phil: Railing berms, booting jumps, and shredding rocks
Haley: Weeeee, woohooo, genuinely having so much fun riding her bike
I love Hailey's footage and the music, it reminds me of the way I ride.
Same here !!!
I’d be happy being able to ride like Haley
YEP IM WITH HAILEY
I love that she’s lowkey a super gnarly racer but she’s just chillin now 😂
Same
Phil: That line was sketchy...
Haley: Weee!
Squirrel: Check my line straight up this tree!
That squirrel saw it's life flash before it's eyes. 😂
Haley gives me hope that I can go to a park and still have fun while not going down the scary trails that every UA-camr seems to ride 🤙🏼🙌🏻
i started about 6 months ago and i really enjoy parks. obviously i ride the easier stuff. But its hella fun
So nice to see the footage of Phil and then back to reality with Hayley, she rides like most of us watching this, love listening to her noises and comments. Great work x
Really enjoyed seeing Hailey's point of view as well as yours I think it makes it feel much more approachable, the fact that she can ride these things too shows her abilities, sometimes it's actually harder to ride stuff slower!
Yo Phil, I went there to try that gap and it was a hard pass. Fair play!
I rode with a rad dude called Ben McGranaghan and he was the first to hit the gap just after it was built. 👍
I would not want to be the person to test those jumps out! It’s so easy to over cook them. The last jump was terrifying, but since they’ve built one even bigger
@@SkillsWithPhil I was also one of the first to hit the biggest one finished so far and I did it on my LEVO
@@SkillsWithPhil
Someone needs to hit them on a kid’s tricycle! Wheeeeee!
We love us some Thunder Mountain, thanks for giving us a tour of the new stuff, it looks way too fun!
OMG.....the music slections...you: rock n roll and ripping it. Haley: nice and gentle and hear her: wee! when she pops some air....awesome!
The Haley vs Phil moments were priceless xD
The music made it.
From Chuck Berry to Mayberry. Lol
I really like the segment with Haley, it offers a more casual look at the sport here and make it less daunting for people like me who haven't tried it yet. It's really nice both of you look like you're having a lot of fun too.
Skills With Phil: Going 40 miles an hour and 10 feet up in the air.
Haily: "W E E"
Loved it Phil! This is totally my wife and I. She actually watched this one with me and was laughing with me because of the similarities. It's not that I shred like you, but the sound tracks for attitude were spot on. Thanks
The contrast between watching the two riding levels was cool. She can ride some pretty technical stuff, impressive. That was a fun video Phil!
This is such a “what I feel like” vs “what I look like” video! Also though, I love this video and you two are killing it!
Watching Haley is such a humble reminder that mountain biking is just about having fun.
Phil's videos = How it feels when I'm riding
Haley's videos = How my footage looks when I get it on the computer
*props to Cameron for saying it first
@@cameronmartin719 You assume, of course, that I read any comments before I posted mine. You would be wrong on that assumption.
@@cameronmartin719 But, on a more share-the-stoke note: How awesome is it that we can feel like we're sending it like a pro while we stay within our abilities and still be able to get up and go to work the next day. I
@@BizBBiz I'd like to apologize to you if this is merely a case of parallel thinking. Your post just seemed so similar that I thought it was more likely than not a rip-off. No credit is needed if you're being sincere.
Thumbs up for Haley! I like it that you can hear she likes the trails as well. It shows that you don't need a lot of speed to have fun. I smiled a lot times during this video, so keep up the good work!
Good lord that was insane! Best actual riding footage hands down goes to Phil, absolute beast!
What i enjoy about this video the most is listening to how much Haley loves her man. The support and confidence in you is awesome. 🙌🏽✌🏽
Hailey: WeeeEEEee.
Love it.
Showed my girl the Haley segments and now she comes with me on the trails, I go Warhead, she goes Haley style and loves it👍
Thanks Haley and Phil for making it easier to get trail time now 👍👍
Great video. Like the way you rip down the trails and Hailey going...'Wheeeeeee' down the trails and the music matching each of you. Well done...
I concur, the blend/juxtapose is absolutely perfect. They should totally do more vids together.... And separately too!
Going back and forth between you and Haley and the music changes was a great treat to watch!
That place looks so sick! Also a really good video as always. I think that seeing haileys clips was a cool addition and it was a joy to watch!
Best video ever ... rock & roll .... acoustic .... rock & roll ..... perfect transitions man!
The difference in music between you and your GF had me in tears🤣
Keep shredding!
Phil was awesome... but he is always awesome. Haley is hands down the best part of this video! Well done to both of you!!
Awesome video Phil, I’m always excited to watch a new video from you.
One of the best edits in a mountain bike video I've seen yet! The music transition between your camera and your girls camera was epic! Just a great idea and funny! Super sick shredding too bro. Can't wait to learn more from you!
How to get drunk, every time Phil does something sketchy take a shot
(Trust me you will get drunk)
Straight into koma
Alcoholic version: take a drink every time Haley says wee.
You’ll die of alcohol poisoning pretty quickly
You lads are suicidal! Good luck

Hi phil it has been a pleasure watching you and your videos. You did a video a while back about the tokul 3 in a video called tokul 3 torture test. Well Raleigh the company that made the bike updated it and the bike has crazy specs. The bike uses a dropper post and the price is about 1700 dollars. This bike is 2019 edition and I hope you enjoy it and thank you.
I lose it when she says "weeee". Lmao, so adorable haha
You know when Phil says it’s scary, it’s scary. I met Phil at highland exactly one year ago today and he said oh yea upper N.E. Style isn’t scary, and I finally took his advice and hit the pink bike drop. Thanks for always pushing me phil.
Avg MTBr: My GoPro makes everything look small slow and flat...
Phil: Hold My Beer.
The level of how much I love seeing both videos back to back... I adore the music cues to remind me who I'm riding with. Love it SOOOO much
Phil's shredding so hard his air cap left the chat
Somebody forgot to put it back on when he pumped it up at home :P
Edit: Actually I lied. This was 6 weeks ago, I thought it was my air cap because I do that all the time, but I just remembered it was actually my compression knob. The screw backed out completely and I removed the knob (which amazing hadn't fallen off) and put it in my pocket.
@@SkillsWithPhil it's lighter and more aero this way anyway
Yes, aerodynamics is key
Phil's videos are dope cause they make me want to go ride. It's badass but it's also relatable to most people.
Compare it to rampage... which is fun to watch... but I watch that stuff and think "screw that, I don't wanna die"
The change in music from Phil to Haley is a nice touch lol
Agreed. The music change from the two is hilarious.
I love these transitions between Phil and Haley
I want to hear Phill do "weees" on jumps
this might be one of your best vids ever...the contrasting of you and Hailey is fantastic
That laugh off the first jump... that's the feeling right there
Awesome video. Cool seeing you and Hailey at Highlands yesterday. The lines were long but it was still fun.
I absolutely loved watching Haley's perspective, because that's about how fast I ride, but it totally feels like I'm going as fast as Phil! LOL
Love the vid, know it might sound weird but i love your pop off anything style! I got rid of my full DH bike and got a Enduro to try to emulate your steez, thank you for stoking me on said style. Keep up the awesome vids
5:12 Hailey on those bumps, Im glad Im not the only one.
Jeff you should see what they did to it now. What a mess!
Phil, Kudos on the comparison sections of this video. It clearly shows that fun can be had at any speed. Other than showing how fast you are really going, it shows fun is fun. My 11 daughter who rides liked that a lot. Seeing your video....she said no way would she do that. Seeing Haley's, she was like...yeah, I could do that.
Haley is so adorable! These little "wee" that she makes remind me video game characters haha
That was so cool! A lot of content here. The speed you took Billy Badger was amazing. My speed is much more like Haley’s. That first drop into the right berm I roll, and boy is that steep. You were going down Thunder cliffs like there is no tomorrow. Too easy, aIn’t so easy. Next time, do Billy’s world to Winetree. Also, Shist all the way through is such a great trail. Thanks for another awesome video!
Love the park and wish I could jump. The natural stuff there rocks!
I'm not sure if you were trying to be punny, but that was punny. Phil Approves.
Literally laughed out loud at the music choice between your run and Hailey's 😂 Absolutely insane riding and inspiring line choices, as usual
10:14 smoothest landing evvvaaaaaaaaa
Idk how many times I’ve watched this video but I would call this the gold standard of UA-cam mtb videos
Haylee: hi hey! I’d wait if you want to watch Phil do something really cool!
Random guy on bike: naw I’m good. Keeps peddling
Your videos are amazing Phil.
So glad I found this channel.
And a bit depressed that these parks and these bikes weren't around 30 years ago when my body could do those things.
Freaking loved the back and forth on the videos.
I absolutely love the the Haley and Phil cams. Awesome idea!
Been waiting for this one. Saw you at highland yesterday while we were waiting on that insanely long line.
How many laps did you manage to sneak in? We only managed 7-8! :P
@@SkillsWithPhil yeah I think we got like 8 laps total. I've never seen a line like that there before!
@@STV3TA I think everybody knew it was supposed to be utter poop today so everybody double up on Saturday. The last time I remember lines like that was closing day several years ago.
@@SkillsWithPhil yeah true. I came up from NY for the weekend, so I got to ride on Friday too which was pretty solid. Creek is my home park.
@Sam Rekulak nice, I'll be there. I'm just sad the season is over.
Phil's videos are the best against the Corona quarantine. Keep going !
Just imagine how much more funny it would be if the music playing for Phil was put on Hailey’s riding and vise versa
This! A music reversal is in order. Mellow acoustic guitar for Phil and Death Metal for Hailey!
Your videos are really nice! (I came her from Seth's Bike Hacks) Love your riding, the music and it's great to see Haley do the same segemnts you do. It gives perspective on what a solid hobby rider can do there. I mean it is nice to see guys like you and Seth sending it but it gives a totally distorted perspective because your skills exceed those of average riders by miles.
Phil, you should come down to maydena in tasmania, the trails are super steep and sketchy and I think that you would love it
I think Wyn Just posted some stuff about that, so it's caught my attention.
@@SkillsWithPhil yeah I've been there a couple times, im not the greatest rider but it has huge ranges in difficulty from long xc circuits that anyone can do to 10 metre vertical pro lines that most people won't go anywhere near.
Soooooooo GOOD! This video is awesome! Phil is so quick, I can't even relate, I like the Haley video, gives me a bit of feel for how I'd ride the park.
Love thunder! Biggest jumps I hit are gronk😁😁😁. I saw a guy break is leg on fort hill a while back!
I actually really enjoy Gronk!
I believe it, those just are consequential if something goes wrong, but they are also incredibly well built. All things considered, they are pretty safe for what they are.
I love chicken tenders
DK Cubing YT same
dude, you have insanely good skill . i can't believe the speed you carried through those gnarly rock gardens on a single crown fork. I used to ride whistler bp but always wore some armor. your nuts!
Universal mountain biker greetings:
"eoooww!"
"Get it guys"
"eeeyyy"
"wassuppp"
As a road cyclist looking at mountain bikers descend these hills is absolutely mind boggling. Respect!
Haley is my spirit animal
i absolutely love hailey's chilled riding so melliow yet you can tell shes loving it, need to see more of her rides.
Love both POV with music 😂😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
sick vid dude always a delight when I see that you have posted a new vid in my notifications! keep up awesome work, love the sketchy riding!
Phil: *ripping down the trails*
Haley: “Wee”
Great video Phil, the music choice for yours and Hailey's footage is just perfect. She definitely adds to the videos that she's in.
Your riding style blows my mind dude! 🤘😎
I think the fact they're doubles makes them a bit scarier than the step downs at crabapple.
You've got some serious balls!
I completely agree with that! It's easy to want to over cook doubles to air on the safe side.
I like how when Phil is riding, its rock music and when his girl is riding its like a hayride.....she even says weeeeee when she hits jumps. I cant stop watching.
Saying "Wheee"is my new thing for sends!
I think Hailey has started a whole new thing with her “wheeees”.
Big fan of the switch between you and Haley with the different music. Nice work!
Phil: Ah! I just took the slowest line through this rock garden
Viewers: You're going 30 miles/hr
I would be a broken bag of bones if I followed you down any of those trails at that speed.. WOW! well done.
Hailey takes a good line, she's way smoother.
Dang, you are on fire. Amazing watching how fast you react to the terrain. So good and thanks for the awesome content. Subbed
18:23 Haley did it way smother than phil at 18:07
Yes, and at three times her speed. Both having great fun, though.
Good job
@@seanmcadams1216 thx
@@Ben_McBride ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ get flexd on
@@seanmcadams1216 no you
LOL this edit alternating between you two is hilarious. Great job both of you!
how do i get better at jumps, i feel like i’m more or less jumping like haley, not a lot of air but i’m trying
Learn how to boost(basically bunny hop off of a jump). There are a ton of videos on it and it helps you get a lot of air.
It's more legs than you think. You've gotta pop off the lip and adjust position in the air with your hands.
Yeah you compress before the jump and extend your legs at the top. It's hard to explain
I was in the same position as you. I was wondering how everyone was hitting all these jumps. It just comes with experience I have learned and knowing the proper technique.
Good job Phil, thanks for making a video at Thunder.
Basically this video "RAWR!!!"
"whee"
Great video mate. That's the beauty of mountain biking, it's so much fun no matter how fast or high we ride. Thanks Phil and Hailey 🤘
Haley RULEZ!!!
DUDE Phil....You have to do more Haley riding and your Riding.. comparison videos.. It shows us how we would do it and how you do it.. I LOVE IT.. please do this more often!!!!
him: "that's a sizable drop"
everyone watching: ⚰️
The contrast between Phil completely shredding the park and Hailey riding along the track so chill is pretty cool and funny at the same time :)
Where is Matiss? I came here specifically to downvote him.
Hahaha same
Same 😂
Glad I’m not the only one
Same here
what did he do
Dude you have inspired me to get into this. I did some hobby bmx when I was young and a little mountain biking in the military. Thanks for the inspiration and incredible footage. Keep up the great work, maybe I'll cross you on the trail.
TIL, I'd rather ride with Haley than Phil. 🤣🤣
Yesssssss man so sick!! Jumpin the entire 5th feature is badass, that jumpline is so fun lucky to have it on the east coast!!
