Downhill at Mountain Creek Bike Park - Vernon NJ | Thrills with Phil

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 KZbin 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

Bad ass riding!! These videos got me dreaming big Phil! My T arrived yesterday whoop whoop! Thanks man.

[@bruderrudiger9574]

Skills With Phil Hey Phil, could yoh may test a Bionicon Bike? They have ajustable suspension, you can low the Front a rise the back while driving for uphill, it seems to be pretty cool.

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

Skills With Phil go to berm creek

[@Snowrider58]

Skills With Phil do a bike check

[@melchiorschottl2698]

Bike Check ..

[@ReluctantRider]

"Oh what's this? Oh it's a drop!" then you fly off a humongous drop like it's not even there! So amazing!

[@erickuhn2812]

Reluctant Rider I ride there all the time and let me tell you, that drop is MASSIVE

[@bkxc]

Poetry in motion! Holy moly

[@alanramirez7368]

BKXC yes

[@ammarazme6487]

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!

[@spencernelson1517]

"All we're doing right now is just pumping"... two seconds later, they go over a rock drop and the guy in front is *TOTALLY* pedaling. 1:24 =D Gotcha, Phil!

[@mattbafundo420]

its so cool seeing phil riding trails that i've ridden

[@k3anu16]

and then your like... wow i suck

[@mattbafundo420]

yeah pretty much

[@JohnSmith-zs1bf]

These videos have sold me entirely on this sport. It can't possibly be as easy as these guys make it look haha

[@TrailFeatures]

Watching this video is the cure for a bad day. Keep'em coming, Phil!

[@jmorrow6406]

Sweet vid! Went to my first DH park last weekend, can't wait to go back. Enjoyed the Luda at the end of this vid.

[@neologisticzand]

I always enjoy seeing trails that I have ridden in videos, this one is no exception. Great Video!

[@codymac181]

Watching this made my palms sweat....in the best way possible.

[@natskis]

I have anxiety just watching this... OMG the SPEED down that trail!

[@777Mullet]

Your really have some skills. Its a huge pleasure to watch you riding, Phil.

[@VincentJaramillo]

Nice runs Phil. Great talking to you that weekend and hope you liked the pics I sent your way I got of you during the race!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

It was great meeting you, thanks for coming over and talking.

[@jaykan1002]

holy shit LOL this is pure gold. So glad to see some sick shredding videos coming from the East Coast for a change haha.

[@felixajorg]

You make it look so easy. Just another drop 😎👏

[@rgmtb]

So good seeing you there my friend! You're amazing on that bike!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Right back at you Gene, hopefully you had a great time at Creek!

[@dudedudester9659]

Video quality on point 👌 best video of yours so far. Amazing riding and congratulations on your 28th place👍

[@rajkandhari2745]

hehe I saw you there on finals day, told you my name was Raj, and you said it was a cool name lol. 10/10 would converse with again

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Haha yes! Sorry it was so quick, there was a lot going on that day! I still think your name is badass.

[@rajkandhari2745]

Skills With Phil Thanks haha. I don't mind, just meeting you was cool and you needed to take some practice laps before finals anyways. I hope to see you again!

[@pwdt4r313]

You guys have a ridiculous amount of talent. nice work and way to do clean runs.

[@Twentykixx]

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.

[@davidor3502]

Oh man, i spend my summers here. Love this place!! Hope you had a blast. Need to get Seth over here!

[@Karma-kr5dd]

Edge of the seat stuff... watching that. Excellent.

[@ttuurrookk1]

Went to Mt. creek for the first time last weekend! Now I see all the things I have to improve on. Great content !

[@P4P5]

Super sick man! Awesome job!

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

GT!!!!! Phil you are a beast.

[@maxt7525]

Dam son you can ride!!!! Top vid and sooooo epic!!!!!!😃💪🏽👌🏽

[@bovice1766]

Sorry I am new to your videos and have been binging them lol but did he hit a bird while manualing @ 4:01?????

[@dankasprick1801]

Thank you for taking the time to edit out the $%#@. I watch these with my kids to help them push it on there bikes. We love your videos! Keep them coming!

[@STV3TA]

Hey I made it in your video lol. That was me that you waved to on the Gondala when you guys were stopped haha.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Thanks again for the photos dude!

[@STV3TA]

No problem man, it was my pleasure.

[@budycelyn]

the faith you have in your tires is amazing, some of those corners were intense

[@NorthEast_Rider]

Fun watching you hit trails that I ride myself. If you make more northeast trips, I highly recommend Thunder, Highland, Killington, and Burke!

[@beansntoast]

Great video! you guys were shredding

[@that_grey_focus7173]

Nice to finally meet you that day Phil. Keep up the good shit 👌🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻

[@BigfootsArmsRace]

it was good meeting you, I think it's amusing that we both know Ryan.

[@sebastiansuppes6565]

Way to get back on the big bike Phil!!

[@TheCranemeister]

The speed you guys carry around the turns is amazing. I was worried just watching this video.

[@Daddio66]

NICE! Looks like you had a blast!

[@JordanBoostmaster]

yeah man get your downhill on!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Missed my DH bike but most bike parks around here are actually more fun on a trail bike oddly enough.

[@JordanBoostmaster]

I see interesting, I actually never owned a DH bike myself, but I do plan on getting one sometime

[@ryanwebberrocks18]

Jordan Boostmaster ironic

[@jobbieking2644]

Unreal riding skills Loved it thanks

[@piccalocb]

Phil, after going down this mountain myself, recording it, watching it, then watching this.... my ego = Blown... Good luck in school brotha..

[@olliespencer3363]

Phil this was such a sick vid you should definitely make more of these types of vids

[@rollinface87]

Dude love to see you fly, so damn fast, wheeeew!

[@trevorpark7108]

One of your best vids

[@keks1003]

sick riding. was fun to watch

[@jakecooper5451]

Phil you were boosting! That was some great riding lad!

[@lenn675]

Just getting into mtbking a little in the game, but I hope to enjoy it. Loved the video.

[@aliyasinErdogan]

prety smooth ride second camera vedeo first camera voice setup is prety good keep up good work mate

[@Bjoggi308]

Sweet riding dude. You made it look easy but then you actually sounded exhausted. It's amazing how the faster you go, the harder it is. something fell off his pedal when he clipped out at 4:02

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Haha I had to go back, it was a leaf. Not sure where it came from!?!

[@artificiallift9110]

YEHHHHH BOII!! BACK ON THE BIG BIKE!!!

[@carsonamate3330]

love this type of content. great to see you on the dh bike

[@STV3TA]

Yes! Was waiting all week for the video! haha. Hope you come to creek again soon. It's Steve btw, the guy with the Pixel lol

[@MTNcorps]

You're like watching a fighter jet pilot.... it's just disgustingly smooth...

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Luckily the consequences for f-ing up isn't as bad!

[@clayboren5557]

great video Phil

[@_Livefreeordie_]

Took lessons there last year and just went to the us mtb open. Awesome mountain!

[@Parker_Travels]

This place looks so much fun!

[@GeddyRC]

Heeeey my neck of the woods! Can't wait to hit up Mountain Creek this year - I forgot it's actually spring these days since it's been raining so damn much up here...

[@GeddyRC]

Update: ended up breaking my hand on one of the wallrides lol. Finally healed up (month and a half later) and going back this weekend. Can't wait (again!)

[@ramonmarcell]

nice ride and nice trail too..

[@TimTheMusicMan]

Amazing skills. I watch a lot of videos from CA. and VT. then came across this from NJ, and I live 30 minutes from this trail, seems pretty competitive..

[@bryanthartwig6994]

Got that blueberry yumyum and I never thought that it could ever taste this goooooooood

[@gluti8454]

ayyy been waiting for this, good job !

[@2pacsawyer]

ahhhh man I was there that day, must of missed you!! maybe next time

[@rocketmode528]

really like your channel dude, lots of really cool shit to watch. you're a sick rider.

[@strategicthinker8899]

Looks so much fun.

[@SoLowAudio]

Great vid man!! Love how u find those gaps😀😀

[@mattroy8629]

Dang i wish i started MTBing at 20 not this year at 40.... don't think I will ever get the guts to try jumps like that. Ended up at the hospital with a concussion doing a pratice drop lolll Been watching you tutorials since then.

[@cmichael7651]

phil about to hit that 100k SUBS MARK!!!! killer riding man, lightspeed style

[@leongreen8989]

nice video man keep the good work up :)

[@tavs111]

You guys are so fast icant wait to go back

[@asispector]

yhha phil, good to see u on the DH bike...and riding creek is a plus...

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Been riding Creek since the Diablo days!

[@asispector]

thats why it's a plus...watching you on the Dh bike is all ways inspiring to me and you been off the Dh bike for a while.... i think that ur channel crowd are above the beginner level, so it will be helpful for some DH tips on DH rig

[@Beardedfrijol2987]

blueberry yum yum by luda lol. good choice of music

[@Sean-jg9ps]

HEY I live near here! You should ride the Wissahickon if your nearby. Pretty fun trails... But a lot of rocky tech and punchy climbs.

[@Billium632]

Kickass vid Phil

[@allenkvextreme]

the fastest mountain biking youtuber i've seen

[@roik.6694]

Super smooth

[@tonydimaio1647]

Looks fast!!

[@veronicaisl]

Phil was a pro racer and can still be with the pro level at this day. I’m a big fan phil, come and visit Perth Western Australia and ride with us and Sam Hill. More races this year 2021 please.

[@floydburkett2749]

the travel on that gt looks smooth.

[@automotivedistributors9708]

Woohoo for New Jersey man! Have you ridden any other Singletrack in the NJ or NY State area?

[@In_dependent]

Phil, I am mirin your cornering technique. When you are doing a fast / tight ish corner, do you just lean the bike over, or do you actually turn the bar as well?

[@ayadal]

Awesome video. Do you think a Santa Cruz 5010 can handle this mountain or would you recommend a Hightower?

[@bowwave59]

You smoked that trail. 👍

[@chuckc.5724]

It amazes me how fast you went on the last trail, even after you were dropped. And it was your first time on it?!

[@phantomrider86]

Awesome ride, so smooth. You make it look so easy Phil ! Do you plan on heading of to Berm Creek anytime soon?

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I'll be there in the fall. Probably won't be back in NC until August/September

[@epicfactory7464]

Cool videos do you know any changes what a trek sessions 10 stock forks are

[@jfnurod]

Phil what bike are you riding? I was at Mt creek in May riding in the rain place is a blast!!!!

[@gabedobrozsi9483]

Hey Phil, I have a question 4 U. I know your not the best at wheelies but as of now you're much better than me. 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.

[@RichG70]

Hey Phil, how would Mountain Creek be for an old guy with a 27.5 PLUS bike Hardtail? Much riding experience here in NJ....but not a downhill bomber. More Single Track, and traditional trails

[@ryanj116]

Dude I live near here! I love to see youtubers go round where I live

[@beckwatts768]

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.

[@durrantmiller8810]

LOL I don't think a beginner rider could do the most difficult trail in one day

[@alanramirez7368]

Durrant Miller true it takes time and balls

[@beckwatts768]

But if they couldn't it would make a good video!

[@melvinguerrero3455]

I'm sorta a beginner. Someone get me off my Walmart bike and upgrade me. I'll ride all those trails. A la mierda ima wildboy lol

[@m0n3ym4k3r1am]

Very nice riding

[@BJK.MEDIA_]

was that long flat slash/climbing section hard to do on the dh bike? how long did it take?

[@KevinCoe1]

super awesome!

[@CaptRohmer]

Sweet baby Jesus you guys are fast

[@JubeProductions]

Very cool, you guys were flying....I've been riding those trails for over 10 years so I know them well. My videos don't look like yours...haha, I try though.

[@JubeProductions]

Plus the covenant drop you hit so very easily is one of their biggest drops there. You nailed it like it was just a bump.

[@yjrb1324]

Hey phil I'm going to mountain creek this weekend. Last time I went I nailed the progression drops easy but I didn't to that patio drop, aka phantom or deck drop. The drop is at 3:56. I'm watching this trying to overcome my nerves because I really want to do it I'm just scared. Any tips?

[@jcmymtb1258]

Your best video!

[@prg_dylan2081]

Hi from Puerto Rico Skills with Phil👋🏼

[@ttMTB26]

you guys are sick!!

[@HEIPPI]

Your vids should have a speedometer :D

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

I think you are on to something

[@uglyn8653]

There are some good apps that track stats I assume you would enjoy, Cyclemeter, or MapMyRide are both very good. My Tracks is a bit more basic. I know all these are compatible with Android at least.
