YouTuber Enters A Pro Level Enduro Race! 😳

Part 2 of The Burke Mountain EWS. It's been a few years since I stopped downhill racing professionally and switched to being a full time KZbinr. In fact most people don't realize I used to race MTBs at all. That being said, when I did race downhill, The Enduro World Series was still in it's infancy and it wasn't a discipline that interested me much. However one of the most popular requests I get is to enter and EWS race, so how fast are KZbinr Mountain bikers? Let's find out.

Hey all if you missed part one - that video is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4rYq6yPmLRsjdE - Oddly enough that video got age restricted but even after the appeal KZbin stopped showing it to people's feeds. So If you could share these videos, and engage with them that would really help out. I've been really busting my butt to get these videos out as quickly as possible, so when things like this happens it really stings.

[@jinavl]

How yall both got 4th is crazy...44..theres a significance there

[@righteousbob272]

That is just stupid, age restricted because of what? Endurance MTB racing? That is very annoying and I am sorry that happened to you man.

[@bikingwithryan5968]

The save was insane! Thought for sure you would have ate it really bad.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I thought i was done. Wheb i crested the rock and realized it was more abrupt than i thought , my heart just sank.

[@PraiseToTheLordGodAlmighty]

@@SkillsWithPhil hi I think you are awesome and you got me into mountain biking, and i got a new bike, (you can see it on my yt, though my videos are bad) because of you and just want to say I appreciate you so much!

[@juanhuttoe4517]

yeah for real, that looked like it was gonna hurt bad. awesome job.

[@bikingwithryan5968]

@@SkillsWithPhil oh I bet. It’s defintley not a small incline 😂I can tell you that for sure!

[@mybadvideos]

Wow that near crash was a little crazy. That's a tricky little bit of the trail... I've definitely almost eaten there a couple times. Will definitely be looking for the best line when I get up hopefully this weekend.

[@dade_23]

Phil you made my da. I was like, "damn i feel sorry for Phil" when i saw you crash but to win a stage and still come 4th with three crashes -- AMAZING MAN, SHOWS JUST HOW FAST YOU ARE!!! Imagine where youd be without those crashes (cough, cough - 1st Place)

[@zacherydrzik7122]

How is this content free? I know this isn’t normally your thing but you’re killing it! I’d pay money to see content this good! Keep grinding, looking forward to seeing you compete more! After you heal up😂

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Because you folks keep on watching :)

[@Wiroe]

You can always leave a tip on the videos for extra support, the heart icon with a $ sign

[@nickv3085]

You’d pay money to watch amateur POV? I’m confused. I love Phil btw.

[@zacherydrzik7122]

@@nickv3085 I watch a lot of pro and amateur MTB riders. Phil’s content seems to be on another level. He’s got the perfect camera angle something I’ve noticed is hard for even pros to get right. He’s not silent the whole ride even when winded. He rarely has technical issues or camera batteries dying all the time. You can just tell he is more disciplined and motivated to make the best content. Most of the pros are just doing to do it and don’t care about the quality

[@cobb9093]

here you can pay him monthly to support his content. www.patreon.com/SkillswithPhil

[@edwardcook23]

Great race Phil The fact you didn't die on that rock. And the amount of time lost with the first crash having to stop and fix your bars and everything, then still get 4th. Amazing ride. I would love to see more Enduro content out of you but also understand if it isn't what you really enjoy. Thanks for playing bikes with all of us.

[@luckypenney116]

You’re a fast rider typically, but it’s crazy to watch you go full beans in race mode, despite the crashes and fatigue. You’re an animal!

[@glenhuizenga6251]

Phil - what I appreciate most about you is that you are real. Even sharing crashes. Most edit their crashes out making us think they are perfect. When we ride, we're not perfect. I crash. You crash. I huff and puff. You huff and puff. Simply REAL. Thanks for being legit

[@mrshaneyt4356]

That end clip made me smile . Just riding with your wife laughing, perfect 👌 Congrats to you both on those finishes

[@andrewcarbone6192]

Thanks, Phil, for reaffirming I never want to race enduro

[@frankthetankricard]

As a fellow downhill enthusiast I must say that all this in one day would kill me even with a shuttle between stages. The fatigue even without pedaling on a 10 minute stage is huge. And I would have needed new pants after that rock drop near crash. Considering everything you put down some really decent times too.

[@Don-Michael]

Not even sure I would make it down that last stage and you just smashed the entire way. Unbelievable pace from a dude with cramping legs and some wonky knee pads 😂

[@kylekline9752]

Always nice to relax and watch Phil shred. Amazing content, can’t wait to see more!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I'm glad atleast one of us finds this relaxing haaha

[@Jonersaint]

Hahah I was gonna say! Ain’t nothing relaxing about this to me.. i’m litteraly sitting here, with a fat ass J and sweating so much my phone keeps slipping out of my hands! You’re a boss phil😮‍💨

[@loamchasers]

Almost dies......”that was fun”😂😂

[@bryandelledonne3029]

Loved your captioned thoughts and the entire set of videos, keep up the great work, can’t wait for the next vid!!!!

[@n.s.3410]

Super stoked for you! + holy crap glad you handled those crashes so safely.

[@kasparhayes6357]

What a day out Phil! Was cheering you on the whole way, can't wait to see you do some more enduro racing!

[@jonahbeltz6275]

That was great Phil! And you are so humble and down to earth. Hope I get to run in to you one day!

[@ycolon24]

This was awesome. I watch all your vids but for some reason I was on the edge of my seat watching this one the whole time. Awesome riding and congrats! 🤘👍

[@skiboardordie]

This was awsome coverage of the event! Can't wait for the next race and good luck! :)

[@BlackFlag94]

Your riding is insanely good, Phil! I've been wishing you to do an Enduro for a long time and I do hope you do more, you're fantastic at it!

[@Daz.B.droppin-in]

Well done Phil, that looked like one grueler of a race, love the videos, keep um coming 🤙🤙

[@yukonpeteneff]

In my opinion your best video to date. Super fun to follow along with you … and with results like that you have to be stoked. The endurance piece of this racing series plays a huge part in the results and you should be damn proud. Thanks for showing us all how much mountain biking is also a mental game. As a fellow local northern Vermonter … way to go brotha !!! 👍. Good luck next weekend.

[@5hane_]

Solid effort Phil! For a discipline that's not your jam that was a great result & loved the edit showcasing your day. 👊🏻

[@stumpy25lbs]

This is UNREAL. Probably your best video yet - those riding skills man; that save!! I can't really believe what I just watched.. INSANE! (Hope you weren't too sore the next day) 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@vashusan1984]

That was outrageous to watch. You are so fast man, even with going down. Thanks for the high quality footage and your constantly positive attitude! Congrats on 4th!

[@wcslv_6781]

I love seeing a KZbinr out of breath and actually straining for something. This is a great video!!!!!!! Your creditable just went off the charts. Keep it up. I love straining myself on rides.

[@MyGuitartime]

This was Great Phil! Thank you for letting all of us ride along with you!

[@otbmikesrides1476]

Excellent! I watched every video, rooting for you. Fourth is amazing, considering this being your first race of this kind. I love trail biking but no way could I run those as fast. Keep those awesome videos coming in.

[@chandlerburrell3001]

Dude. As always you were killin it!! Always good to watch you ride.

[@verzadus5716]

Not surprised you did that well. You're always flying in your vids. Good job 👊

[@timberknuckle8281]

Awesome man! So stoked on your result, was rootin for ya. Ty so much for a proper good look at an ews from a non pro view, tho i rekin you could do pro lvl, you goddamn talented bro. Really kool footage. Be proud bro

[@NILoggers]

Watched all of these, top content Phil! This event looks brutal!

[@PAULPICKLES]

I've never cheered while staring at my phone before, but holy crap Phil! That was awesome. The save was incredible. Great results for both you and Hailey.👏😃

[@michaelroy5989]

One of a kind. Incredible talent. A real pleasure to watch your videos as always. Except seeing you crash. But that's part of the game. Really glad you didn't hurt yourself. Thank you for sharing these moments with us

[@boydcrowder4436]

Awesome video and race. Congratz Phil. I almost got dizzy watching you blast down that final stage.

[@tmhudg]

Holy crap! I saw the teaser of the crash in the previous video and thought for sure, you would be seriously injured or at least be away down on the time. I can't even wrap my head around the save you pulled off - and how you managed to keep going after that near-death experience. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@Edwinalvarez070]

That was really fun to watch! Congrats on 4th place. Stage 5 was longer the first 3 stages pit together, good call on splitting up the video!

[@davidgrattan673]

Phil this was my favourite EWS coverage. Great job on the filming, editing and also result. Really looking forward to similar from Sugarloaf.

[@robbiefrith883]

4:51 most incredible press up of all time

[@hardtailparty]

Bravo Phil! Stoked for you crushing it in Sugarloaf. So much fun to watch.

[@JohnDoe-fu4qd]

I love your videos, you always kill it and send it. Great to see you ride. I get to live vicariously through you.

[@DavidW73]

Wow, awesome riding, well done Phil. Thanks for taking us on a wild ride. Crashes showed you're human after all, but amazing skills to crash 'safely' and get up and keep shredding. 4th place - Wow! Congratulations to Hailey too, awesome that she came 4th too. Did Hailey film her race? I would love to watch her riding as well!

[@MTBKingLife]

So appropriate that you and Haley finish in the same spot. Everything together. Well done young man. 4th is something to be proud of especially with the crash and super save on top of you pushing through the cramps and pain. Keep on inspiring!

[@bmaclaps]

Way to go Phil! Amazing you won that last stage after eating dirt. Inspiring stuff!

[@fivetool]

After three crashes and totally exhausted Phil is still absolutely sending it over those awful rocks on stage 6. That was really impressive riding.

[@Adam-cb6ve]

I enjoy the captions on the screen. Keep up the awesome work 👍

[@SirSmokesAlot691]

PHIL! Not gonna lie, after that cliffhanger that ended yesterdays video, i was suuuper jacked all day at work to be able to watch this tonight! sorry that u looked like u were absolutely miserable and in pain with all that pedaling and overall ROUGH terrain riding haha but absolute banger of a 2 part video man!! cheers!

[@mattmcgee7563]

All your content is great, but this is absolutely top notch. Thanks

[@MPablo-ct5ut]

Congrats! And cudos for going strong despite the crashes and peddling!

[@willowsmutt8313]

After a year or more of being sick. 3 weeks ago I was lifeflighted some 700 miles away for emergency surgery on a tumor they found in my bladder. A week after getting home the biopsy was in and the results was cancer. Am 63 and over the winter while sick I vowed to get better and bought a mtb. Now, after my surgery I'm finding it hard to walk. So I bought a road bike, thinking trails might be a bit tuff. Looking at today to take first kinda long ride along a sleepy river. You and your skills inspire me to better myself and I thank you very much for sharing your videos.... If you ever come to the west side of states, you would be top of bucket list of people to meet. Thanks Phil...

[@ItsJoe_YT]

I just love your videos. Keep up the amazing work 🔥

[@tpseeker3367]

Congrats Phil. Gotta say besides not seeing you give up is an Inspiration, Butt to take time out to talk with those kids Right after just shows How Much YOU Care for the kids out there. Then you topped it off @SkillsWithPhil by worrying about wanting to catch up Hailey shows even More how much You care about Other. The World NEEDS more people Like You. Thank You so much for Sharing your Life with the World.

[@crazyivan70]

What a trooper, congrats! Troopers i`d say, congrats to both of you :))

[@jaq5918]

This was soo good to watch from practice runs to race this was well worth watching!

[@MTB_Trekker]

Awesome stuff there Phil, nice save on the rocks too! ✌🏻

[@DGAFORLIFE]

Well played sir, so fun to watch. CONGRATS!!!!!

[@radmitch2796]

Good Job! Cant wait to see the Sugarloaf footage, I did the ESC this season there. I thought it was wild!

[@Graeleaf]

That whole race had me white knuckle stressed for you. A most impressive showing! Congratulations!🤘

[@SecretSpots]

Great job Phil! Congrats on a solid result!

[@scottdavidson919]

That rock roll looked terrifying, I've been eagerly awaiting the followup! Thanks for another great vid

[@cyntax_error]

Good job dude! This actually inspires me to train a bit more and get into some races

[@twowheeler1000]

Damn Phil. Absolute crazy performance. Mad respect! At times like that i really envy people living around a part of the world where you can do things like that.

[@152killa]

Love how you just get up and keep going! Great riding brother

[@chunkyantmtb]

Looked like an insane stage! Glad you saved the fall, thought you was OTB for sure! Great riding! 👊

[@slimpickle47]

You the man Phil! Sending my love from Australia !

[@FollowingtheCliffNotes]

Crashing skills with Phil. You somehow pull off some crazy stuff. Congrats and thanks for the second video.

[@matradlinski8084]

Just when I thought Phil and his videos can’t get any better!! The stoke from watching you race is real.

[@superawesomefuntimego]

That looked exhausting and ass puckering with all the slippery roots and rocks. Great job out there! That elevation gain is no joke without even throwing in the sprinting in the stages. I just did my first Enduro last weekend, which was about half that elevation gain and I was properly beat at the end.

[@stoopidgoombah]

congrats to the both of you. GREAT work

[@BCpov]

Super fun to watch your footage! Can't wait for the sugarloaf video(s). Any thoughts on EWS Whistler next year?

[@FilipMatacin]

Oooo yeess, oooo yess, when I saw you in the first seconds of this vid I imediately tought "that is how someone that messes with racing looks like".. And the ½ crash in the first seconds od the vid, also point in that direction.. Phill thanks for putting out a true image of this thing you went trough, not editing the content to make look yourself as a superman that does not care for the race but instead had camed here to film some EWS.. Enduro is extremly punishing for the body and you went in with no regard.. Well done boi.. 🙋

[@craigmolway]

Great race Phil! Just imagine how you would have placed w/o those crashes! Looking forward to your runs at Sugarloaf!

[@lamefart]

Congratulations, Phil! Great finish even with those crashes.😅

[@rascal1234]

Crazy race! I can see you were getting tired in the last stage. Awesome results and congrats to you and Hailey.

[@joelspaulding5964]

Phking Phil!! Amazing. Stage 6 should be imaged for a VR game. Still inspiring me to consider cycling again after 30+ year hiatus. Incredible riding , always amazing energy. Great stuff.

[@evanandrews8858]

You never gave up, man. Great job!

[@charlesholland6851]

great run Phil and company!

[@zeebeeblebrox8602]

between the camera angle and the breathing I feel like I'm really there. Looks like a lot of fun, thanks for posting!

[@Birdmusic77]

After that crash on stage 6 I thought before even knowing you won that you had this laser focus on a lot of that tech! What a recovery from crashing! Just AWESOME. Great video great riding

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Wow that race looked so gnarly. Great save on that crash off that steep rock section. 4th is awesome !!

[@LoLbeautifulsorrowx]

You're such a fast rider man. I loved this!!

[@doubletrackdodger2512]

Crashing hard popping right back up, and still getting first, insane!!!!! I definitely wanna see more racing from you, ofc if your down for it lol

[@Hermocrypha]

Love your content Phil, would love to ride like this one day. This is incredible.

[@fischermtb]

Totally insane! Tough and loooong tracks.. I can just imagine the feel of the body during and after the race...

[@grimaceg1253]

Love watching your rides Phil. Congrats on 4th!

[@almostcools]

Wow Phil, I have watched this video three times today. Just amazing dude. Good job!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Woah! That's saying a lot. Thanks for watching and the kind words :)

[@ryangavilan7638]

Congrats Phil!!

[@DrtyALGreen]

These were really fun videos. I wouldn't mind seeing you do a few races every season a couple DH's a couple Enduro's would be awesome viewing imo. Thanks Phil...your videos are always the perfect length for me. I put down my coat of wax, watch a SWP vid and watch the wax dry, the video ends and time for a new coat.

[@RIMTB]

The fastest recovery from a crash i have ever seen 🤣🤣🤣 Good stuff man this stage looked fun.

[@ride6884]

You really should do more enduro races, that was really cool to watch, you killed it.

Way to go guys! Rad!

[@0G_Kush]

Yesssss another vid thank you phil🙏

That 10 minute stage was brutal. I kept thinking it was going to end at certain points, it just kept going!

[@user-kb7ij6ye8u]

Jbar is so gnarly. Super pumped for the sugarloaf content! I can't wait to see what they've done with the place
