Chasing Pro MTBers Blake Samson & Brendan Fairclough Down Whistler Bike Park!

[@timfarness5136]

Phil the king of alternate line choice. Loved the series.

[@10laws2liveby]

I probably shouldn't say anything, because I don't have the words to describe it. I'm 82 and been around a bit, but never seen anything compared to what you folks do. Your skill level, respect for each other, decency, and courage is unmatched by anything I've yet to encounter. Because I have many children, most everything you do taxes my nerves to the point of mummification least I become liquid as a way of coping before my nerves shatter as I watch the insane things you pull off, but I envy every thing you do. You people are a special breed, I'ed bet the angles wish they could ride like you.

[@ray_shah21]

you aged well!!

[@sobreruedasmtb2135]

You and Blake have to be the 2 coolest guys on the mtb community !

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Blake is a funny dude! Such a pleasure to ride with too. If he wasn't so busy I'd have done way more laps with him

[@antonsigurdarson2719]

Hey don’t forget Seth

[@justjordan8018]

Agreed, as personality I would enjoy riding with those guys are the best.

[@jcsrst]

I love this video! I've watched it about 5 times now!

[@isaachophan5736]

Sad Alex noises 😢

[@LoomisPowderdogs]

this whistler series fired me up so hard I rode my ass off around our local trails. I just started again... I raced in high school 30 years ago. I remember seeing the first guy show up with scott shocks, then rock shocks, then i never converted, just went to a day job. 30 years later I tried it again last month, thanks to watching your channel, Alex's, Seth's and GMBN's. i love all you guys. great content, great production quality, Ill check back in when I lose the 45 pounds I been struggling to lose for 18 months now. I have a feeling this is the ticket, doing something you love

[@cheesewizardgaming1912]

Never too late to follow your dreams man

[@miles9294]

how's it going now man

[@moreno3663]

You got this! Keep up with it and supersede your old self!

[@vivetlitore3789]

lets goooo

[@NeoDarkness]

Hows it going now

[@thebadness6217]

these were some of the most fun whistler vids i've seen. Most other youtubers makes vids that are too short with too much editing. The vids in these series shows multiple entire runs and had edits in the right places with just enough talking/conversation sections that broke up riding so it wasn't just a 30 minute video of nothing but riding... which makes them so much better imo.

[@IanBarnard]

Blake - "I think I should brake... Nah!" Love that no-fear attitude.

[@koho]

I swear Phil gets 30% more elevation on that big hip jump than anyone else.

[@willbros1499]

Noticeably higher, and he travels further across it as well. I don't know if it's the full commitment, or if it's because he's on the enduro bike rather than a DH bike like most of the others riders, so he gets more boost, but it's definitely major altitude on that thing! This video shows DEFINITIVELY that Phil is a world class rider. Period.

[@po6649]

Yeet

[@grimsawyer]

@@willbros1499 RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!

[@zacjohnson452]

He actually rides a decent travel trail bike, which is remarkable!

[@garyg7145]

@@willbros1499 could it be the skills?

[@bouzouki2006]

Ah, ah, I was thinking to myself "who's that super skilled rider with the Fast House shirt" and then, it turns to be Ryan R-Dog Howard... Phil, that was a treat watching you rip with all these super talented riders. You belong there! I would watch your videos all day long! Thanks for all the great work!

[@BikeSleepRepeat]

“What’s your name?” “Ryan” ... you know, just doing party laps with Ryan Howard. NBD.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I was really struggling to figure out who I was following, he was obviously a really talented rider but I hadn't put 2 and 2 together. I felt like an idiot for having not made the connection :P

[@BikeSleepRepeat]

Skills With Phil haha. Well with how many heavy hitters you rode with at whistler, I don’t blame you! Sick videos Phil!

[@misaelhallett9213]

I was recently at one of my local bike shops in Aptos and I saw him in his truck!! I didn’t say hi because I didn’t know if it was actually him but yeah he had the fast house and Trek logos on the back and I was like no shit!

[@olisymes3973]

Duuude you went so deep in places my head hit the TV three times.

[@cartermacrenaris705]

Lol did you move ur head forward as he jumped

[@VanCan]

Good times! And thanks for the spinach dip recommendation! 😀

[@SkillsWithPhil]

VanCan I'm still craving that stuff, it was so so good!

[@ThisIsLesli]

Nothing better than Phil and Blake cackling like giddy maniacs after a death-defying shred. Loved the whole Whistler series, but this was my favorite.

[@beastreleases4677]

Phil your a complete legend in my books!!!!!

[@jimothyMTB]

Absolute legends! So much fun to watch a legend (you) ride with all those guys - Blake, Fairclough, Deakin, Trevor, too many.... I love coming back and watching this series over and over.

[@toygrrdrea]

These longer videos are sweet, they feel more fun and chill than 10-minute segments, hope you keep doing them 💯💯💯

[@j-dmontreuil1437]

You are an amazing rider. It's beautiful to see how much you have mastered mountain biking. Keep making awesome videos as always! ✌

[@skik210]

Always so impressed watching you ride Phil. You've got some serious talent on two wheels

[@jerrysandcastle9880]

Who doesn’t love Blake 😂 Blake and Phil make a good duo

[@quinnuva9606]

I don’t even understand why anyone would dislike this video. Or any of his videos!

[@joehansen6303]

Trolls gotta be trolls I guess

[@RoadtoSolitude]

Their probably too scared to watch

[@goneflying140]

I have to say... I just love watching your videos. I could never dream of riding at this level, so watching you do it is just gnarly. You handle the tightest trails with ease, get HUGE air on the jumps, and stick the landings. Just awesome!!! I had dreams of riding there when I was younger, but never made it. Now, at 51, I have pretty much written it off, so watching your videos makes me feel like being there myself because they are so good. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@davidmessem]

This series has been amazing to watch, the riding was so fast with the pro’s! Thanks Phil

[@yakbiker75]

Love your videos Phil, watching you boost those jumps on an Enduro bike and your line choice is awesome. Cheers for sharing!

[@snowdemonrob]

I'm 54 and just started riding single track trails on Vancouver Island. Watching you and the pace you take gets my adrenaline pumping! I think I'd be wrapped around a tree in 5 minutes or less trying to keep up. Thanks for the awesome videos. It encourages me to ride and push harder to get better!

[@carsongreen2383]

I love Phil’s amazing attitude and how he makes a point to ride with other people

[@scottgerstenberg9551]

I love your transition from intro to ride footage. Great video!

[@nicorimer6151]

that was my favorite outro to any video i have ever seen lmao

[@JT-go2ms]

Really nice skills Phil. Thx for taking us along 👍👍btw...stellar camera work and editing. Super cool air time dude! Plus it was awesome when you were riding in the bigger groups and everyone was rolling along so sweetly while keeping the train moving at speed. Everybody was looking great.

[@DoesItTrack]

Watching this at the end of February in Colorado. Thanks for the stoke Phil! I'm so ready for park season.

[@maitreduhuit]

I would like a double like button, just for the outro!

[@goatio007]

Thanks for the whistler series, they’ve been an absolute pleasure

[@sionach8066]

Let's goo it's B L A K E

[@willbros1499]

Watched every video in the series, start to finish, and backed it up a few times to watch some parts twice! Absolutely amazing footage with legendary riders. That last guy you rode with, the local...was next level fast compared to the "casual" pace of most of the other runs. If you had not scrubbed that last booter, you would have landed in the line for the lift. I was genuinely worried that you were going to boost it at that speed and it might be the go from the series "banger," to being a star on "Fails and Bails." My compliments on what was the best footage of Whistler I've ever seen. I'm actually sad it's over, but looking forward to whatever sort of mischeif you get into next! This series was the double chocolate chip cookie in a normal cookie world. EPIC.

[@beverett6256]

Super coverage - love watching you all speed down those trails.

[@rpiian]

Such a humbling video with great candid responses from legends. Those guys are lighting quick.Thanks for documenting Phil!

[@Friskee62]

You're freekin' funny man. Loved all the Whislter vids...

[@petedeiwert3782]

Phil is stepping up his game! Super fun to watch this one.

[@r.h.879]

I don't ride, but these videos are addicting. A few minutes in and I find myself constantly holding my breath on the jumps. Good stuff!

[@patdrumm3770]

Its always fun watching you ride Phil. Thanks for the videos.

[@HHJoshHH]

I bet hanging out with Blake is awesome. He’s always laughing 😂! But dang Phil had them lines tho! Just a great video man! Keep it up Phil!

[@BoardsBikesAndHikes]

Loved this whole series. I’m honestly sad it’s over haha I’ve looked forward to these every week

[@martycuhntzmart5635]

Phil, this was your best series my man. I love all of your content but this made me appreciate and love the sport and your effort to capture it when more.

[@Happy_Biker]

So impressive how you keep up with the DH bikes on your GT trail (enduro?) bike! +Trevor Burke on lower Insomnia- wow, fast! Great video series, for sure.

[@john2605]

You're talking about Trevor in the turns right? That shit was nuts how he was ripping thru them.

[@topspot4834]

I come back pretty much monthly to watch this video ... One of the most epic days at Whistler caught on camera. Legendary!!

[@kellywade900]

Dude, your videos are some of the best ones to watch on YT. Always entertaining, showing your outstanding technical riding skills to the best, and listening to your commentary and laughs while rolling through some killer territory is just fun. Keep it up, you're giving this old man some great entertainment!

[@MrScottySteak]

Incredible video series from Whistler Phil. You guys were shredding so hard, loved seeing you keep up with all the rad riders.

[@jacobshepherd3997]

Blake honestly looks dangerous to follow😂😂😂 constantly landing to flat

[@julioaragao]

This is hands down one of the fastest videos I've seen. Way to go Phil!

[@infrad3ad277]

Great content, love the channel. Actually went to Highland Bike Park after seeing some of your Highland video's, was my first time at a park; I had a ton of fun. I'd have to say Blake is probably my favorite GMBN presenter.

[@fromxctoletssee]

dude you are a hoot to watch and i love your confident riding style. its just so relaxed. inspiring. thanks for the adventure!!

[@srdjanbabic8561]

These series made my day. Most definitely got HUGE motivation boost!!! Thanks Phil!

[@mikebussart2575]

Phil you can hold your own with the best of them. Absolutely killing it.

[@jeremeyellis16]

I love that you did exactly what Blake did (landing flat off that drop) and don't take any credit (as you seem to do with all the other riders you ride with!). Super cool

[@jameshinton429]

Yeah, he landed way flat too.

[@justsayin3600]

I can't recall ever watching a rider's series with this much content all the way through. I enjoyed it.

[@drjpica]

Amazing series. Thank you so much. You are great.

[@benleitch4780]

Why isn’t this channel called Phil with skills?

[@philb912]

hahahaha love this !

[@robbo709]

this is honestly one of the best follow cams on youtube. the boys were absolutely RIPPIN the entire video

[@john2605]

This Whistler series is unreal, so many talented riders!

[@JClark2600]

Thanks Phill. Just joined as a Patron you create some amazing content and I'm super stoked about the podcasts I can now listen to while at work.

[@ericsharp5079]

The best series of riding at whistler by anyone! Your riding and the riders your with was the best there is!

[@energ8t]

This is some of the most insane and fun Whistler riding videos I've seen. It's intense shredfest from beginning to end. I get mad arm pump watching. Thanks for interrupting my work day again!

[@buryurfear14]

These videos are getting me through quarantine. Can't count how many times I've watched them lol. KZbin recommends, I watch.

[@UltimateMTB]

Same here, I've re-watched the whistler series a few times now

[@N0SAjREkLaw]

Fully sick series of vids and top editing I'm buggered from all the binge watchin thanks for sharing ✌️

[@kjbarbz]

My favorite of all your videos so far. Looking forward to the next favorite and all the others in between!

[@vickzx837]

Hey my 80 year old mom with Alzheimer’s love’s your videos it has really helped a lot!! Thanks buddy .

[@KestrelYI]

Last spring, I watched a few of your really rowdy Pisgah videos thinking... man, this guy is NUTS! I'd never do that. But... Later that summer, I picked up a fat tired hard tail as a fitness oriented alternative to my usual motorcycling & dirtbiking. Lots of riding later, later that fall I picked up a nice long travel full suspension bike.... and since then I've been getting in shape and going bigger and bigger with my riding. This past summer I rode a few days at Angel Fire while working out in ABQ. I was sending jumps I never thought I'd send, and descending double black tech that I never in a million years thought I'd be descending. So, thanks Phil! As simple a thing as it might have been, your videos really did inspire me to get out there and ride, and I'm *really* glad I did. I've made some great friends, and done some things I never thought I'd be doing.

[@jameshinton429]

Dude, Phil lifts. Love this guy. He knows he rips too, yet always allows everyone else to shine. It’s great.

[@Callmenobody174]

Great videos, man! I really enjoy them. Thanks for putting in the work, Phil.

[@austonwheels]

*looks for Phil's clear goggles on EBAY*

[@jimothyTX]

Great content - its so awesome to see you riding and following these guys! Thanks for sharing those with us.

[@garyriggs6998]

Great edit, Phil! It's cool you got to ride with so many great riders, and that your skill level is right there at the top. Thanks for sharing the adventure!

[@odelld9004]

Love to watch this level of skill hit the trails, Thanks.

[@sbdogg716]

Just casually runs into Brendog and does a few laps, legendary! 🤙🤙

[@billycolegrove]

Whatever GT is paying you is not enough! You go as high and as deep as any of the guys on double-crown DH bikes - with style to burn. Great vid and great series!

[@ononewheel7]

Loved this whistler series!

[@TheCham423]

This has been one of my favorite video series you’ve done Phil! Keep up the good work!

[@RuralFisherman]

You mentioned how "there are only so many fun trails that you want to do" I think it is rad as hell to see how each of these people you followed down some of these "same" trails, rode them differently. Really cool look into the way these pros minds work and how they see lines.

[@mtblover]

Good runs Phil!!! Very exciting.

[@th4tg0y]

Best ever Whistler video I have seen. Totally entertaining!

[@all_the_hype4576]

That outro was pretty good. It was so free styled. I really liked the whistler series. It was pretty cool seeing you riding with all these other people.

[@Superdukedotnet]

Sickest jumps and by far the quickest speeds I've ever seen through the corners. You guys are aliens!!!

[@שגיאסמואלסון]

You are such a skillfully rider. Every time i watch your video’s I’m amazed

[@BushmanCanuck]

Intense! I was nervous just watching you Mach 7 it down with a bunch of other sick riders...great POV video 👍

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

Impressive stuff Phil. You hold your own with the best of them. :-)

Really fun watching your Whistler series! We were there 2 weeks before crankworx so the riding was primo! I was also happy to bump into you at Snow Summit for the FOX/Intense Cycles US Open! I was right that my son was epic sad he went home early and wasn't there to get a picture with you Phil! Keep doing what your doing, its all gravy :)

[@flyrc88]

Love your videos! Reminds me of the old days when riding was a priority. Your videos allow me to escape and remind me of good times riding with bro’s. At 55 not so much riding anymore but it’s still in the blood. Keep up the good work on the videos ....😊 🇨🇦

[@scblurlt1962]
