There Is No Other Bike Park Like Whistler!

Opening day at Whistler 2022! This is my first trip back to whistler bike park in 3 years. In my career, I've ridden a lot of bike parks and there's still no other place quite like this. Today I got a chance to ride and catch back up with old mountain bike friends. This will be my first video of my whistler bike park trip, and there will be plenty more coming.

[@pontussoderman4758]

Imagine going your fastest down a trail and Phil comes flying past just casually talking to “him self” 😂

[@mtbmagnus9241]

😂😂

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I'm dying haha

[@drkslider1182]

I was litterally just thinking this! We need to see race speed Phil on some of these trails.

[@nickgustafson9064]

Hahahahah

[@bentoth2494]

I talk to myself when I ride too, lmao

[@drkslider1182]

There’s something so satisfying about seeing Phil blast thought tech likes it’s nothing, and giggling the whole time.

[@Friskee62]

and taking whatever lines he likes...

[@VanCan]

Great to catch some laps Phil!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Likewise man, we never made God on our nobl quest to no hander!

[@seanroberts381]

Watching you all run together is like watching the All Star Game. So rad.

[@TheLoamRanger]

It was good to catch up and ride dude! Hopefully it won’t be another three year wait before the next time 🍻

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Yes and yes! It was great catching up with you. Hopefully we can do it again rather sooner than later!

[@cartunerph4827]

10:24 I love how Phil casually sits down and wipes dirt off the GoPro before sending it down a road gap at Fade to Black.

[@krazykarl2413]

So satisfying @11:43 when the mud bounced back off the lens… I can hear the crowd cheering

[@DrShredder]

Skills with Phil + Whistler bike park = Best thing on the Internet

[@rascal1234]

So many familiar faces in one ride. Must have been a blast.

[@paulc7551]

"lets just ease into it...." Phil is on a different level, my absolute flat out is nowhere near as smooth and fast as that!

[@floopygoober]

As someone with Adhd I loved the little interaction you and your buddy had. It’s easy to not notice but then when I was told a lot of my mannerisms made a lot more sense haha

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I guess one of my teachers in 3rd grade said something to my parents but that message never got relayed to me. It's very interesting to look back and think about how a lot of my mannerisms, hobbies and personality has been a result of this without me realizing it. Again, I haven't been diagnosed, but at least being aware of the likelihood has helped me a ton.

[@dennispikephotography]

@@SkillsWithPhil I was diagnosed a few years ago. It's definitely nice to have a better understanding of the way my brain works. Or sometimes doesn't work

[@TheLoamRanger]

100%. It was definitely eye-opening to realize so many of my mannerisms are linked to ADHD (the good and the… less good haha).

[@mysterious_tim]

I was diagnosed in kindergarten and it’s much harder to manage as an adult. Mountain biking helps

[@scorpionwarrior8359]

Camera swipe transition at 15:20 was cleannnn 👌

[@NONO-hz4vo]

My favorite was at 11:45 when he hit a big drop a bit rough to clear the dirt that had just appeared on the lens.

[@DRSpalding]

"Jordan gets Phil to whimper." Man, that drop was scary even on video!

[@johnhouston8297]

Lol brought the Mickey out of him.

[@MrNamesjeff17291]

Dude wiped the screen and then sent the drop . Legend. Love ya Phil

[@TheRotundRider]

4:44 Wow! It’s like you rolled up on my KZbin sub list! (The other half hanging out at Berm Park)

[@BudoDave76]

I believe that MTB is attractive to thpse with ADHD because if the high amount and varied stimulation. I'm glad you guys were comfortable sharing that.

[@masonwallsmtb4607]

It's weird I was in the exact same situation as Phil like the pandemic things just got worse. I just got diagnosed with it and mountain biking seems to really help.

[@DrShredder]

100%

[@BudoDave76]

@@masonwallsmtb4607 that’s awesome. MTB is great for me as well and it’s also a good tool to use when combatting depression.

[@masonwallsmtb4607]

@@BudoDave76 yeah that was one of the diagnosis that came with the ADHD. I seem to be happiest when out on my bike it also really helps that everyone in the community is so friendly.

[@BudoDave76]

@@masonwallsmtb4607 same here, man! Proud of you for getting help and riding!

[@marcelloc395]

Was expecting the east coast bike park circuit videos but WOW! Phil coming out of left field with a whistler video is one of the best parts of this week no doubt!

[@tahoejuju]

So rad to see you back up in BC. And with all the local content creators just shredding! I miss riding Whistler so much. Have fun Phil.🤙

[@fivetool]

I hope Nick posts his follow video of you shredding these trails. Well done, brother.

[@samocali]

lmao i was just thinking that

[@VanCan]

It's coming!

[@miniMEGA29]

All the faces from my top favorite mtb youtubers is delightful to see.

[@nostr8ghtlinzs596]

ADHD and distractions --- I changed the order i put stuff in the garage, then i had to look at something. I left my daughters new, full suspension bike outside. at 5 AM i wake in a panic, run outside gone. I'm on verge of crying. There are over 4,000 bikes a year stolen in the city i live in. I thought it was gone. Thank God there are still good people out there. A niaghbour a few doors down, and across the lane, seen the bikes, locked them up in his garage for me. I hugged the guy. I am so lucky, and he clearly did the right thing. Thank you again Andrea!

[@michaelharris8144]

Phil, you are just such a genuine person from what I can gather from your videos. Your love of biking comes through and is infectious to both the people that you encounter on the trails and the people watching the videos. Thanks for the great content and have a wonderful season of riding. I'll be following along from Owen Sound, ON, Canada. I am the coordinator for our local high school race series. We have our 5th of 6 races today and it is at an amazing trail centre. I will be taking 31 of my own high school students to race and we will join up with the other schools.

[@diplomaticcommunity4738]

Big Drop: “I kind of knew what to expect but it was more than I remembered” 😂

[@matthew_dag6201]

Phil: *loses goggles* Also phil: proceeded to ride at insane speed through mud and puddles on his way to find goggles

[@TREVORtheSAXman]

This video was even better because Boostmaster and all the other KZbinrs being there was a surprise and not clickbait.

[@McTwist937]

I get so stressed out when I watch Phil casually destroying I can’t even process the video terrain at that speed

[@kaeokeeling9143]

The only thing that scares you is wood features that are wet! 20 foot drop? No problem! A 1 foot wooden bridge! He takes a rock slab in the wet. LOL frikin love this guy!

[@adamweb]

Awesome to see you back at Whistler! It's surreal how thanks to KZbin I recognize everyone and all the trails in this video even though I've never been there!

[@gabuchan123]

book the trip now

[@dryzalmynelli9600]

Can't wait to visit Whistler some day! Saw you at Highland opening weekend but didn't want to bother you and your buddy. It's always funny seeing your fans greet you though, and you're always super chill with everyone interrupting your conversations. 🤙🤙😅

[@rebelg5757]

Been waiting all Winter for new Phil content and this hits the spot. Hitting my 1st lift service bike park ever end of May, early June. Snowshoe. Thanks for the skills Phil!

[@AlexGifford5150]

Love watching you and Jordan ride together. Y’all both have such an amazing pace

[@creekboi7]

15:19 sweet transition

[@maxjbryan]

everyone has been missing the whistler videos and now they are finally back

[@masonwallsmtb4607]

Dude it's weird I just got diagnosed with ADHD and mountain biking seems to really help me out.

[@JohnDoe-fu4qd]

Wow that was awesome. Thanks for sharing your whislter videos, its like riding a rollercoaster. You got skills. Smooth riding.

[@rodspov1915]

Amazing man! Thanks for another great video.

[@dk-michael]

That drop at 24:40 did even caught me off guard, even tho I am only watching

[@kevanb111]

ya that was huge haha

[@rataflas]

Anyone knows how tall that drop is? Looks to be around 12-15ft

[@lamefart]

@@rataflas yeah, probably more than 15.. I mean the original Drama Drop was 13+ and this was way bigger..

[@rataflas]

@@lamefart lander doesn't look that steep for such tall drop either 😬

[@lamefart]

@@rataflas exactly, but it was built like as a roller that you can drop off of. Just like the entrance in A Line but higher and steeper, and more like drop to flat. A suspension, ankle, and wheel wrecker. Hahaha

[@Graeleaf]

Phil at Whistler again! Woo! 🤘

[@dman5703]

Back at whistler sick!!! Been 4 years for me

[@STV3TA]

Stoked to watch this video when I get out of work!

[@adamgaisser1875]

@Skills With Phil - Great video. Cool to see you riding outside of VT. Would love to see a video of you riding some of the janky trails on the North Shore. Have a great trip.

[@ericsharp5079]

Can’t wait to watch the other channels and see their reaction to Phil, not riding all winter, coming to whistler, scorching every trail and sending everything !!

[@Friskee62]

Love your style of shreddin'. Great to see SWP content...

[@MiltIV84]

Dude watching you ride is always insane. Like how do you see the things you see?! So gnarly!

[@Matthew_Xc_Mtb]

Dude I love watching your videos you seem like such a nice guy and you are really good at biking

[@chrisharrington5098]

Epic shred vid. So many favorites peeps in one vid.

[@LoLbeautifulsorrowx]

ooo nice to see Bcpov

[@BoardsBikesAndHikes]

The lens wipe right before the fade to black drop haha. Legendary 🤟🏻

[@barkbros123]

What a great video 🙏 makes me really want to go out there we really don’t have any good parks in Miami FL 🤷‍♂️

[@FROADER]

Favorite quote of the video... @BCPOV - "How did you know how fast to go? You just going Phil speed and that's it?" I imagine it could get a little frustrating when you are unsure of something like the speed to go for clearing jumps that you've seen before and some dude goes blind into one, and makes it look easy. Great video with a lot of the MTB KZbin crew I subscribe to.

[@RIMTB]

Man i want to go here some day. Great vid as always man.

[@rwogmtb-ridingwitholdguy]

You got the band back together. so fun to watch

[@RossDMTBYT]

yoooo sick video! coming over to bc from my brothers wedding this week and I'm heading to whistler on Friday for a blast! Cannot wait! that trail Canadian open is definitely right up my street! 😍😍

[@johnflynn7084]

Lucky duck getting out there early!!

[@lamefart]

I wish I'm ¼ as fast as blind run Phil on wet double black trails when I ride our local trails on dry conditions. Lol Awesome to see the local KZbinrs ride with you, Phil. Happy that all the gang's complete! Pink Bike appearance as well! Wait, if Brian and Josh were there the EWS 100 gang would've been complete!

[@mtbville]

Awesome Phil 🤩🤘🔥

[@ryanspreer]

True man haha :)

[@mrsockery]

This is type of content I want! Raw MTB footage!

[@stumpy25lbs]

Your speed is insane, especially given the conditions! 😱😱

[@joedillier7113]

Whistler is on my bucket list for sure

[@flippy66]

5:10 - interesting to see a Deviate Highlander over there, they're made just along the road from me.

[@RagingChicken]

ooo Phil is an all gas no brakes fan!! lets go

[@gabebertozzi3032]

Mate tehse whistler vids are insane

[@willbros1499]

Camera....ON POINT again, as usual!! Thinking maybe those last two just had the angle a hair too low. As usual, you're riding fast like it's not even wet, while you comment about how slick it is. I'd be riding along, feeling happy I'm staying on two wheels in that muck, and you would fly by and gap something like it's nothing.

[@simonchaddock3694]

Nice riding dude the bike looks awsome too

[@simonchaddock3694]

I acknowledge

[@AlexDanut]

22:00 “let’s see Paul Allen’s bike” lmfaoo

[@lu7459]

love to see all the enduro bikes this early in the season, they are evolving in such a way that most people really dont need an DH anymore ehh?

[@maycondeivisferrari7422]

21:27 nice check bikes......thanks......brazil here

[@lsgdownhill783]

Hey Phil so hyped got to meet u all at the top of Shlayer sorry if I interrupted you.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Nah man, it's all good :)

[@quincatbagan6316]

You know you’re good when you manual the wall ride on crank it up

[@olehkushniryk5442]

14:05 seems like a perfect landing spot.

[@kingrat738]

Good fun watching ole Skills vidz... BCPOV is thinking what we all think... HTF, does Phil ride the way he does!?

[@dontcallmebrave]

Thanks for leaving in the candid ADHD talk, I have an appointment to see about a diagnosis next week. Also, I always assumed you had it and already knew lol

[@jacksonloveless7485]

You shred bro Jesus

[@g_johnston7488]

You need to try going to Vancouver island a lot of sick trails

[@leonmtb]

Jordan boostmaster better be making a whistler video

[@dvs620]

Phil: mentions snow on the ground Me, in Texas: Wow, thank god that week and a half of at or near 100 degree weather is finally over, for now.

[@piciu256]

Damn, a drop large enough to unleash Phil's girl voice 😅

[@taraheathcote330]

I’m in this video yes

[@pknark]

I was working a Few blocks away when you were filming this lol

[@charlottesmom]

I don't even do mountain biking just love watching a few KZbinrs who fly down the trails. Thought it was great when he saw Yuka and Eric (two of my other favorite KZbin mountain bikers!) 🚵🏻

24:40 JEEZUS PHIL

[@salopork3140]

Bro those giggle lmao

[@jasonharris3873]

That was a rough ride to get the googles. I would have gone over the bars multiple times.

[@bastvitalth818]

Phil: My favourite thing, water in wooden ladders. Me: *flashbacks to the time a train of me and 8 people all wiped out in NC on a super wet wooden feature and 4 of us went off the side into a river*

[@javelin666]

Dreams!!

[@jacobg130productions]

Sometime in the future I’m gonna set aside the time and money and go to Whistler for opening day.

[@IamRolling]

Hey Phil, how do you get your bike there? Thanks, great video!

[@dreamteammns]

Hey Phil, what tires are you running front and rear. Thanks like your Vids

[@bobyplayz4597]

10:24 My heart sinked thought you are gonna crash

[@core-i7413]

Once I lost my phone there, had to go onto Crabapple Hits (ofc my weakness) and look for it, cracked up screen I still have.
