The most naturally talented rider that never got wrapped up in making things a big deal or worrying about what others think. A true spirit of freestyle BMX/freeride MTB.

That’s what I love about him. Just sends cool shit
@mossadon4 жыл бұрын
Seriously..... i see the line choices he makes would be top for any 1st class MTBer but Phil also has this quiet fun and frolics in his mind at the same time. So, he's hitting serious hard lines and suddenly pops up offa nothing, clears some roots / rocks like it was absolutely nothing. It is a thing of beauty to realise while watching him roar down a hill and be straight marveling at his control and lines and then chuckling at some lil cheeky boink! he throws in there without missing a beat. It's like after every serious thought or decision, many per minute he has a mental tag on them..."..and don't forget to have fun."
@@mossadon it's a shame almost all of us will never get to feel exactly what trails feel like to him, but thank god we have his gopro footage :) I'd be happy with 5% of his talent.
