  • Today we're Mountain Creek Bike Park in Vernon New Jersey. I was following Ryan Burney, a long time friend and Engineer for GT/Cannondale. I was here racing the US Open of Mountain Biking, GT Bicycles helped get me back on a big bike which is mine to keep. I'll be doing a bike check when I have the bike fully built up with my own components.

    Yes, I didn't post a video last Friday. Due to the lighting, the quality of the video just flat out sucked even before I uploaded it to UA-cam and it just wasn't worth watching IMO. That being said, if you're having issues with the video quality watch in 1440p or 4k, and if you want even higher quality videos join the Patreon community where you get these videos uploaded to another video hosting site that doesn't compress the videos. Not only that, but you will get the videos before everybody else and also get to suggest skills topics! www.patreon.com/SkillswithPhil

    If I went in 90% of the turns at the speed Phil did, I would have died and i'm not even joking. Your vids always make me want to ride harder and get better. Keep em' coming!

    Hi Phil, just watched this in HD and it absolutely blows me away watching you shred that. It would be awesome to see a video like this in full panoramic 3D/4D. I'd pay to go see it. I ride a bike, but you absolutely float like a dragon. Kudos my friend, and safe journeys on the rail, I'm lowly on the trail compared to that. Hope meet you on the trails someday.

    @beckwatts768 7 років тому +35

    Hey Phil, you should do a video where you get a fan/beginner rider come to a bike park with you and you both do every trail from easiest to hardest. If you you think that's a good idea tell me. Thanks.

    Oh boy, oh boy! Are you going to do another build live stream with the downhill bike? I found the last one "oddly satisfying" to use the youtube buzzwords...
    Did you shoot over that gap at 2:30 on your first run on a new bike!? Or did you get a few practice runs in first?
    Did the clip *tear out of his shoe* at 4:00??? :O

    • @SkillsWithPhil
      @SkillsWithPhil  7 років тому

      That was my first attempt at it. I saw that gap earlier but sort of forgot where it was so it was a last minute decision and I had to soak up the bike not to case it!!
      Nah, he just twisted his foot funny and came unclipped, but a random leaf popped out of nowhere!

I have a lot of trouble staying upright because I keep going off to the left or right. It happens every time and I can't hold a wheelie for very long because of that. Great Video by the way.
