BABE WAKE UP, SKILLS WITH PHIL UPLOADED 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️

[@goatkin3845]

I'm sorry sad I missed him, I'm going Friday

[@chicky4043]

Literally

[@brianl.2104]

“Going to take it easy this run.” Then gaps the entire mountain 😂

[@vtforester1382]

Was coming here to say this lol

[@-SkysTheLimit-]

No he gaps from one mountain to the next you're way off with this estimate

[@rmacMTB]

Comment of the year.

[@driftertank]

"Huh...that sounds loose..." (Continues to send way harder than I ever will)

[@ripapa6355]

I'm walking on the treadmill and it's making me lean side to side watching this. I almost fell off.😅😂

[@PandahWatch]

I do this too!!! 😂😂

[@ZagelMedia]

I do the same thing haha, I always tense up and tilt my head during berms lol

[@kwyer1963]

Phil never disappoints!! His line imagination is epic!!

[@chrissmoot6737]

Its ridiculous how easy he makes everything look.

[@Clownery1]

Thanks for giving me a fist bump in the lift line!!

[@ridelikekrum7707]

Great video Phil, as usual you are killing it! My 2 cents,,, I prefer the first camera view over the second one thats later in the video..

[@CenturyRide]

I love when you show Haley learning a line... Helps me imagine taking that drop. 🙌🏻

[@DirkJaenike]

Awesome SKill Phil :P. Looks so cool to see you riding. Best Regards Dirk

[@breadsandwich8419]

I was up there on opening day, its so good to be on a bike again!

[@littlehobbies]

Idk how a feel about Phil riding with a red bike lol and the tease at the end so mean lol, great to see a video from phil though going to be a great season

[@gravitytester1963]

You are the first youtuber I subscribed to and have been a loyal follower ever since and can’t wait for your first download of the season…..and this one didn’t disappoint! Keep up the good work Phil!

[@mikebatiste]

He lives!!!! The season has officially begun!

[@SecretSpots]

Always love watching your POV because your line choices are phenomenal! 👌

[@valeriesorrells]

never get bored watching your lines. I'm hoping to get up to Highland this summer and now I have to get more armor.

[@stevengeorge9340]

Haley is killing it!!!

[@genericinternetperson]

If I get really close to the screen the camera setup at the end is very immersive. A bit weird from a relaxed viewing position though. Either way it's great to see you out riding again!

[@MTBKingLife]

I got my Phil fix. The season has officially started. Can’t get enough of your line choices. Halley is killing it.

[@Couffee]

“Let’s address the elephant in the room, today I’m wearing Fox… JUST KIDDING, I’ll see you guys next time.” Phil your a real one

[@andrewventre8352]

conditions look great!! and hailey is ripping!

[@matthewbass8152]

Your right about the camera not doing cats paw justice but still great watching you ride it to learn all the fun little line on it. Also s/o Jerrel such a nice guy and crazy he’s only been riding like 3 years

[@gregorycobb]

Miss you man! Happy to have you back!

[@brunoolmedo7874]

Thanks to your videos I just bought a gt force, and it's been awesome

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Congrats dude, that's awesome!

[@user-ly2xt6bi8n]

When you pulled up with the train horn and said oh god I chuckled

[@willbell1308]

That camera setup near the end looks way better

[@frankw4135]

Wonderful to see you and Hailey out riding!

[@jeffp5418]

Im on a GT Force this year, so far its a sweet bike. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@samscales9738]

A collab with danny hart would be sick to see now they both ride for gt. Would be interested to see what Phil thinks of uk trails and Danny's descent bike park

[@elbino413]

Let’s go it’s that time a year again, prepping my bike for first trip to thunder mountain baby!

[@vitaalvitaal5440]

The camera angle at the end is the best. MORE

[@yungjaypee]

YEEESSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOO WELCOME BACK PHIL

[@Karani0]

Mountain biking has always been my favorite sport, but as a broke high school student i've only had those crappy department store ones 😭. This year, I decided to save up and get myself a budget beginner one that can at hopefully last me a while, the GT Aggressor from Dick's, and I must say as a beginner who only rides my local park trails for now with only a few downhill trails (Richmond, VA has nothing nearby), it's so fun. Some day I hope to be able to shred like you, phil! You're an inspiration.

[@ltdanyj]

Yes, Go Phil- but also, GO HAILEY!!!

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

3:05 Phil scientifically formulating his secret anti-seize compound 😂

[@tomassanesson902]

Nice bike and awesome video

[@ManeMtb]

I am just amazed how Phil picks the line, makes a gap and lands precisely where he wants to. I land somewhere within 15ft in diameter of where I intend to 🤣

[@charleydavis7267]

love watching your vids! you should do one on the hurricane zone trails in North Conway

[@aidenfenoff]

So excited to go back this year🎉

[@masonMTB2]

You need to do that different camera set up more often. It looked so good 22:00

[@bikemoney2642]

Stoked you’re out of hibernation. Finally some ripping to watch.

[@xcaliber_gaming]

I would have liked to have seen your whole bike in full frame at some point during the footage. I don't know what it looks like. The wide angle lens at the end was ok, but hard to adjust to after the previous footage. That place looks fun !

[@mikegarland7708]

Sweet ride, havent seen that one before.

[@TheRiotMTB]

Your line choices are 👌🏼

[@AndyShreds77]

Insane video you should come to my local which is moutain creek and do another video there. Great video!!

[@bradyheath6828]

I wish Phil's riding videos never ended. 🤟

[@righteousbob272]

23:00 looks pretty good man, cool to see your body position more to analyze to improve ourselves

[@cloutgoblin]

love the new color on the bike!

[@EastTexasPatriot]

Finally… Love me a Phil upload! 😎

[@SummitMTB]

YES!!! ANOTHER SKILLS WITH PHIL 🎉🎉

[@chrismade123]

like to see haily riding speed for comparison, you r so fast, nice showing other riders doing features.

[@nohemoglibin8677]

I like that red and black on the rig.

[@leelikesgrass66]

epic vid 🤟

[@markokevingrilc9597]

The camera angle at the end was awesome 🤩 It looks more as your POV, thou it’s a bit fishy(like it rounds the edges on a fish eye lens), but still like it Nice video👊🏻

[@willyoung7344]

You’re back!!

[@righteousbob272]

Casually just jumps into pov with the slickest new frame and not mentioning it!

[@GreenMeanie101]

It's that time of year again :)

[@kylemanning9974]

The new camera angle is okay for something different but not as immersive or POV imo, I prefer the standard setup

[@dems_mtb]

nice ride!

[@FantaMann42]

Nice. Bike parks are open ion your area!! Here in California, we have to wait a bit longer. Snow Summit opening day is June 7th.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Only, highland right now in New England. Highland is a mountain bike only park so they don't have to swap things over from ski season to bike season unlike most resorts in the northeast. Most bike parks in the area wont open until late may/june.

[@FantaMann42]

@@SkillsWithPhil still, that bike park looks so kick ass. Orange County and northern county of San Didgo only have the following: Skypark, Vailocity, and Luesenño Bike Park. They all pale to comparison to Highland.

[@DavidMikro]

New angle is pretty nice

[@vladamirtepes5567]

Oh shit. Riding season is here. Phil didn't see his shadow!

[@willymtbb]

when are you coming down to creek dude? i really want to see you there

[@stumpy25lbs]

Phil's back yay!! 🙌 New bike check..? 😃🔥🙏🏼

[@htnrumpkicker7868]

That kid at 20:15 really was ripping on the setup that he was running.

[@bikeguycody]

new camera and bike sick cant wait for the video to see what you got the camera looks like the her 12 with max lens 2.0 possible? the bike is beautiful sounds like theres alot going on with it though

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Loose bolts and things needed a few rides to settle in is part of the normal new bike process. It always takes a few rides to get them setup.

[@ULTRAVISTA.]

HE'S BACK

[@andrewlamarche325]

Dude I was in the lift line next to you! Didn’t want to bug you by saying hi

[@noahridesmtb5886]

Hey Phil just wondering what kind of tires you and Haley run on your bike and if you would ever try the continental tires. I have been running them on my 2022 giant stance for a couple months and have loved them they have got to be the best sidewall and pinch protection I’ve ever seen in a tire and I haven’t really seen many people in Australia running them.

[@markalarcon1366]

Awesome riding as usual. Btw what camera settings is the last one? Thanks

[@svssvs9848]

Finallyyy!!! New bikee??

[@luchoule]

Last camera angle is way better! very nice riding and video!!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

The lens is a bit more vulnerable and I so want to run it in the mud, but the extra FOV is really handy and the distortion isn't bad. I haven't committed to it yet, but I want to make a full video with it to see how I feel.

[@kenanjones3481]

@@SkillsWithPhil I think I may be in the minority in thinking that your standard camera setup is better, but I've always thought you've had one of the best camera setups of any mtb youtubers I've seen. That said the new setup was also quite good and showcased how much you move the bike around really well in my opinion, it just doesn't convey the same sense of how gnarly the terrain is for me.

[@elitaube3273]

"Going to take it easy on this run" proceeds to go full gas and gap everything on the mountain

[@rad_dad3]

Aaa can we say new bike day!!!!

[@ktvlm3987]

wonderful its that season again!

[@mpag001]

Can you do a 3rd person POV video? I want to see how you go through berms, drops and jumps. I learn by watching how people do it and your videos does not let me see how you do it

[@dcooksey503]

Wait what bike is this? Not the blue were used to seeing and man am I glad to see a new biking video from Phil.

[@srsbsns7673]

It said Force on the top tube. Probably a prototype for an updated model, so he can't talk about it yet.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

🤔🤔🤔

[@Pencilgod420]

phil do you think you could make like a video of a tour of your bike collection please?

[@bdog_rips]

16:19 that was me and my friend we didn’t want to do the actual roll lmao. Don’t worry I did it later that day 💪🏼

[@angizze]

Oh man was wondering if you went mia

[@Rprete441]

Phil, can you please tell me the GoPro settings you used at the end please 🙏🏻

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

10:59 👌🤘

[@johnfinelli6882]

PHIL, What GT Frameset are you running in this video?

[@cameronbohac617]

That new camera POV is awesome, definitely should try to implement it more👍

[@YeahDude-nt8sl]

Is that new Force a size medium frame?

[@RiderNambaLast]

Фил, у тебя такой красивый GT, хоть бы показал крупным планом)

[@titancox]

Loved the experimental angle for the tech riding! Really cool to see how you position your whole bike and body going that fast

[@Adoogin]

'Bedding in my brakes this lap'. proceeds to not touch his brakes for for 5 corners and 14 gap jumps.

[@ryanwest9267]

IM MOVING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE THIS YEAR FOR SCHOOL RAHHHHH

[@Jr_thesender]

24:33 😭

[@Ohlins_ttx]

hey phil pretty sure i saw you road biking on the 2nd

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Not me! I don't own a road bike.

[@chrisburns460]

Love the new camera settings

[@leelikesgrass66]

bro needs the Shimano brakes

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Shimano also needs to be bedded in, as with every brake.

[@outdoorswithalex6649]

I swear in a way this guy's better than goldstone

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Hehe, I appreciate the sentiment, but Jackson goldstone is on another level. I say this as someone who has raced world cups in the past. The top 5 riders on the World Cup circuit are make the top 30 riders look slow.

[@KeithySE]

New bike?

[@SmithFarmTilton]

As a local, if you haven't tried it already........ fuel up at the end of the day @ Casamigo's down on Main St.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I usually find a spot halfway home on my drive home to eat, but I'll keep that in mind if I'm looking to switch it up!

[@stevenkilleen8149]

I enjoyed that last new angle

[@prslol1]

Eh didn’t like the experimental camera view. Extra FOV is nice but the distortion is way too much. Usual setup looks much more natural.

[@rokbukejlovic]

trying conti tyres?

[@hscar20]

Riding a new bike?

[@Peak_Mid]

You should mention the trail names before dropping in

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Most of the trails are already signed, and those signs are visible in the video with a few exceptions. I often do mention the names of the trails I'm about to ride when too when Hailey and I are planning where we're headed and where we plan to meet up.
