Chasing A Pro Slopestyle Rider Down a Bike Park

David Lieb is a Professional Slopestyle who competes at FMB tour events across the world. In 2019 Dave won the US Open and today we are lucky enough to be following him down the jump trails at Highland Mountain bike park in New Hampshire. Highlands is one of the best bike parks in America and is definitely worth the trip if you're on the east coast.

Everyone wish David good luck in Crankworx Innsbruck!

Yup, he's in Europe as we speak!

[@mattbass4807]

He’s gonna kill it!

[@natescholtz]

I met Johann Potgieter yesterday and he’s also going to Europe

[@DavidLiebBIKE]

Thank you!!!

[@BentSpokesMTB]

@@DavidLiebBIKE good luck brother 🤙

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Quick corrections: 1. I have the bad habit of mispronouncing his last name even though we're good friends. His last name, Lieb is pronounced LEEB, not Lee-eb. 2. This was my second time at a bike park on the Force 29. I took it to Killington once last year but wasn't recording. Because of the pandemic, I stayed away from bike parks last year, but now that things are returning to normal we'll be mixing these videos back in periodically.

[@mtbville]

2. Sounds amazing man 🔥👌

[@topspot4834]

The more the merrier Phil ... You could make a 20 minute video riding Highland every week and I'd watch every second. One minor critique though, maybe just try and ride level and not do so many tricks a couple runs so we get a better shot of David.

[@maximilianvonsauer8048]

Probably mixing up the wheels? Great shape, great riding, great video.. Skills.. Thanks for that!

[@gr637]

It’s great to see you sending it again at bike parks Phil 👊ciao! Gaetano

[@mattgies]

3. Thanks for playing bikes with you today?

[@Putzinator]

14:50 and that little segment was some pure poetry man... Homie manualing the berm, then all 3 of you taking different lines off the whale tail hopping around the forest and then back in formation without fault. Super cool to see when riders have good chemistry and awareness with each other! =D

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I'm happy somebody caught that! It was one of the highlights for me from that day. :)

[@MPHshoots]

@@SkillsWithPhil my favorite part of this ride too. The three of y’all shredding was super cool, and you are all super friendly and chill on camera :)

Came to the comments when it hit this part to see if anyone else's mind was blown here lol. I replayed that berm manual like 10 times, shit was beyond fucking sick

Sweeeeet. I like the trail building, but watching Phil do his magic on a bike is the best content on KZbin imo. No one can get me as stoked to get on my bike as Phil.

[@loganhalliwell9503]

Yes more highland content!!!

[@DavidLiebBIKE]

Good times Phil!!! Come back soon 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@flrn6233]

I thought he was gonna crash with the tree at 20:16, maybe that's why they were screaming LOL

[@garrett42069]

I love how Phil can follow these pros down the gnarly trails and still be able to send gaps and massive whips while taking to us

[@IamSeafarer]

David is such a fricking good rider, and an even nicer guy! Got to meet him at Highland after he blew my mind with a backflip tuck no-hander off the redbull ramp. So dope. Hope he wins Crankworx!!

[@nicolaszingale2506]

i often see videos where riders are followed by a camera and its like they get nervous or think they have something to prove and star doing awkward stuff while riding and things like that, but David he is just chill and smoth and shreds down the trail with no problem. love it

[@memememe843]

This gets my vote for The best POV video of the year The speed, the crazy skill 👍

[@JustinMayfield]

David seems like a super humble awesome guy. I'm an instant fan.

[@carsonpearce5980]

This was a great video to watch as a study break. I’m getting certified as an outdoor emergency care technician to become a bike patroller at my local park over the summer, and it’s a lot of reading. Keep up the bike park content, I’m loving it.

I won the amateur slope contest at highland when i was 18, but downhill racing was more my thing.

[@andrer3764]

Stupid noob question perhaps but how does this riding differentiate from DH or “trail riding”? Since it was a mountain I had assumed it was DH or trails/bike park.

[@connorbettencourt1125]

@@andrer3764 Park riding doesn’t really have one certain type of trail. Usually when you find machine-cut trails, it is at a bike park, but there are tons kinds of trails. There are jumps, tech, and flow, but they are all lift accessible and you don’t have to climb up. That being said, you could take a modern trail bike on most of the stuff at Highland.
