Epic Day Shredding Killington Bike Park On My Enduro Bike!!! 🔥

[@core-i7413]

@@SkillsWithPhil Relatable, I sometimes take really technical and rough lines when there's a perfectly good one right next to it because I'm stupid :P

[@topspot4834]

I thought Phil was just joking when he said nose bonk coming from the side. Makes it look easy, but for anyone that hasn't been, I promise you that's a pretty intimidating drop. Phil been crushing it this summer!!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Yeah, it's a long way down to fall is things had gone south mid nose bonk haha!

[@STLMTB]

Damn how things change, I used to ski Killington when I was a teenager. Fantastic mountain.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

It's definitely one of the few mountain on the east that gives more of a big mountain vibe.

[@spencerimre]

19:51 the reaction time and composure was crazy

[@SunshineCoastAnt]

I'd love to see a Hailey POV occasionally because Phil makes some of the gnarly trail look smooth and fast but I doubt they are

[@joshmarkle805]

Another amazing video! I love the POV, you’re style and flow is fun to watch! Watching you follow the two riders at the end and the grom boosting those tables raised the stoke too! It’s truly a blessing to live in Vermont and have all these trail networks right out your door steps! Cheers man and keep the content coming!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I'm definitely fortunate to call Vermont home. There's a lot to love about it.

[@dcooksey503]

I love the first feature. Everyone else - hey this wood take off is awesome! Phil - hey look some terrible jank I have to bunny hop then land into a bunny hop so I can nose bonk a rock that would kill 99% of other riders. Sweet let's try it!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

LOL!

[@felixfrancisco8112]

Every day that Phil puts out a video is a good day to me.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I agree with your statement :P

[@WorldwideDarts]

I LOVE Vermont. Had my numbers matched up on the Mega Millions a couple weeks ago I would've already been in Vermont. I had a beautiful 240 acre spot in Stowe all picked out. Sadly I didn't win. But seriously, Vermont is a special place with so many things to do. A perfect place for the outdoorsman

[@SkillsWithPhil]

You definitely need to win to Mega Millions to live in Stowe these days lol

[@charleybetts1053]

@@SkillsWithPhil 🤣

[@topspot4834]

LOL I do the same thing, and what's funny is I'm legitimately surprised when I lost, like I think I had a good chance 😂🤣 but yeah, had my place in Wyoming picked out and Gravity Logic on speed dial to build my private bike park!!

[@AnythinggDirt]

Killington is my absolute favorite park top ride! So stoked to have another Phil video on it

[@topspot4834]

I go back and forth between Thunder, Killington and Thunder. I think Thunder would be the best if they had a bit more variety (drops, wooden features, etc).

[@anderkrupa4505]

I love how Phil doesn’t even think about hitting the real drop instead he jus makes up his own creative way to do it love the vid man keep it up❤

[@Oper8or]

Another awesome vid man. It always amazes me at the amount of skill and how friendly you are on the trail. You are one heck of a representative for MTB man.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I'm definitely try to be approachable, though sometime I need me time to zone out for a bit. As an introvert and not most socially adept person, Bike parks often get overwhelming so I try to find a quiet spot to recover. I've met a lot of too cool for life people and that attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way.

[@wesa5436]

Phil just slays....everything

[@koggism]

Your running commentary is a joy to listen to and your riding style is first class. Glad I found your channel.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Thanks for the kind words, welcome aboard!

[@douglowry7382]

Love the way Phil rides. Wish I had half his talent. Seriously underrated rider.

[@topspot4834]

He's amazing, especially on the jank ... The Mountain Creek video last year at the end of the season was insane.

[@Tom-wo5pp]

Hey Phil! Love the vids, I’m the kid that towed Haley down Gronk a few years ago. And I was up at Killington the same weekend that you were! Again love the vets keep up the great work!

[@TheScalawag]

Assuming this was filmed 8/5, I'm surprised I didn't run into you. As a Killington regular, it's awesome to see you ride trails I actually have memorized. Good inspiration!

It's cool to rewatch it after you ride so you can see how it's supposed to be ridden.

[@wintermoose6882]

@@topspot4834 Definitely gonna do that when I go

[@incredible5587]

i feel killington is one of the best places to get comfy jumping. you run down blue magic 5 or 6 times and you should be a good at jumping or got the jist of it. i love killington. My favorite place to ride in new england.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Yeah Blue magic is literally the same 2 different style jumps repeating all the way the bottom. It's a great trail to get up to speed on your jumping skills.

[@niclassjoberg]

That was crazy. Now I have to find my heart somewhere. Great video Phil, as always, but I think this video had something special! I should have taken a break at some point 'cause I could barely breath, that was intense!!

Well I have given your comment a heart, so hopefully that'll help get you started! :P

[@justsendit899]

You should try Loon mountain bike park in New Hampshire

[@domvassallo9749]

hey phill (or anyone else that has this problem) I used to have it but I went and bought some foam insulation tubes from local hardware store only like $5.00 and if you cut some, hollow the inside and snip one side then you can put them on the cable, tape it up and slide it down into the frame. I did this over two years ago and still works great and its very light!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

It's tube in tube routing and The gap around the cable is 2-3mm. I ended shoving a bunch of pipe cleaners in it.

[@STV3TA]

At work right now but stoked to watch this on my lunch break!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Shouldn't you be doing lunch laps instead?!

[@STV3TA]

@@SkillsWithPhil haha I wish I could

[@kitten-inside]

I have a Scott Spark similar to that "XC bike" you saw. The geometry of the standard (non-RC) version is actually closer to a regular trail bike, only with shorter travel. It works similar to that Evil you used to ride a few years ago.

[@topspot4834]

Agreed with Jumpstart. Blue and Black Magic are fun but it gets repetitive. Jumpstart has some variety and bigger jumps. IMO it's the second best blue flow trail on the East Coast next to Gronk at Thunder.

[@squirrelsmovingpictures]

wow, it is wicked cool to see you ride some trails i know and love. it really shows just how crazy good you are. dang. good stuff. :)

I came across this channel I’m new to riding bikes ! Love your channel phil made me think about doing this lol

It's a lot of fun. To an outsider the bikes aren't cheap, but you'll meet some lifelong friends and it'll take you to a bunch of new places.

[@draggonhedd]

I'm a beginner downhiller but I've been riding XC and new england tech since the full rigid 26er days. I've done a few days at highland on a 29er hardtail and its HARD, cats paw is way harder than they said it would be. Killington looks like a way more chill mountain compared to highland. I need to get out there.
