Chasing Pro Rider Jeff-Kendall-Weed Down Jump Trails at Galbraith

For our last destination on our west coast trip, Hailey and I stop in Bellingham (Galbraith Mountain) to ride with Jeff Kendall-Weed, another pro mountain bike rider and also fellow KZbin content creator. I was hoping to check out Blue Steel but due to an event happening, the jumps were closed for maintenance.

gday from australia jeff , im 56 what model bike can you recommend to start out?

@@thecelt4807I’m 56 as well. I just bought a Transition patrol with mullet wheel setup.

Nice! 2 of my favorite KZbinr’s riding together. Great content Phil.

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Thanks for watching, Levo!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Glad you enjoyed it! This was super last minute but I'm stoked we were able to get out.

[@Radical911]

One of the best colabs in mtb. Both of your riding styles compliment each other. Would be cool to get Jeff out for a East coast collaboration.

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Thanks Rad! agreed- an east coast trip will happen one day!

[@georgesteinhagen8147]

Jeff is such a flowy rider...nice job Phil. Love seeing you meet up with all the West Coast riders.

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Thanks George!

[@brianb6008]

It's literally scary how good Phil is and unbelievable how incredible JKW is. Jeff, you break your foot mid-ride (?!?!), can barely walk, yet can still ride a bike like no other. Phil, I'm in awe at how much confidence you have to hit stuff blind and "going straight through things" and was holding my breath the whole time you and JKW were hitting that massive jump line. Thank you guys for inspiring us mere-mortals to ride more and push our own limits.

[@davechapman1371]

This is one of the best videos you’ve ever posted. You are fearless dude.

[@jeffsaraiva7099]

Very inspiring! Two of my favorite riders. One can tell the love and respect that you have for each other. Kudos to Hailey for following behind these two fast riders and catching a side clip every now and then. Cheers

[@splooshmtb]

My 2 favorite riders in 1 video? Let me grab a snack! Awesome video Phil.

[@maartenholkers3084]

Stating "not going as fast as I could" while barreling down the hill.. Love it, JKW has a very nice style and sounds very friendly. Hope he's okay

[@SkillsWithPhil]

He's a great dude and really interesting to talk to. We have a lot of shared interests.

[@justridemtb]

Best combo Iconic riders on youtube. Always wanted to jump like the skills of Phil and be known as the filipino Jeff Kenda Weed! Long time fan of both forever in the sport of mountain biking!

[@chadmanbikes666]

I've been wanting to see you guys do a collab forever. I live in the northwest and we're very lucky to have places to ride like Galbraith and it was super sweet to see you hit it up Phil. Thanks for being a genuine Rider and putting out solid content. I grew up in the Northeast and have family there and I go back and ride Vermont every year. 🤘😎

[@lamefart8831]

It's their 3rd I think. You can search for their first collabs. First one was with one of the grandfathers of mtb trials, Jeff Lenosky. 2nd one they both have it in their channels with a Q&A on JKW's channel.

[@chadmanbikes666]

Ive been binge watching many channels the last week on mountain bikes and the camaraderie among riders is cool to see im 56 and wish cud give it a go but too late for me , ill keep watching though be blessed riders and enjoy

This video was great, you guys had me dying. 😅

I been loving this mountain range started riding the first time ever last week

[@-MTB_Shredder-]

love to see this content!

I feel like JKW looked better in this video than he does on his own channel. Fresh perspective and less cut scenes so you really get to see him ride. Boys were ripping...looked super fun!

[@IcalebthelionI]

I seriously love the way Phil just sends first runs such a different approach to most other riders but shows the confidence built upon years of experience and sheer talent. I remember a (whistler?) video from last year where another rider talked about Phil’s vs Remy’s approach to new trails and this just further reinforces the observation they made.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Usually with good jumps, if you get the previous jump you you have the right speed for the next. It's definitely gotten me into trouble though :P

[@IcalebthelionI]

@@SkillsWithPhil that’s definitely something I’ve noticed as I’ve started riding park. Rode Trestle for the first time yesterday and was almost full send my first run of No Quarter and Rainmaker.

Yee haw!

[@sohaibyounus]

This is awesome. Only thing that can be better is Phill vs Jeff jumping a BMX over a couch like he did with Seth back in the day lol.

[@dustynmeadows]

Hey Phil! Love your videos man. If your ever on the western slope of Colorado I think you would like the palisade plunge for a big ride. 6,000 ft of decent and 1000 ft of climb. 32 mile trail with some good tech. Starts in alpine like conditions and drops into high desert! The bike shop I work at and resort I bike patrol at offers shuttles too! It’s relatively a new trail but I think you would love it. There is also a ton of other good riding in the area with a lift access resort, trail system in fruita, loma and grand junction and the palisade rim trail is great too! I really enjoy your content and what you do for the MTB community. All the best, Dusy 🤘

Mohawk is such a fun trail! Gailbraith is a bad ass place to ride, come ride Pilchuck tree farm sometime, lots of rock slabs and tech trails on a privately owed tree farm open to mountain biking and hiking

[@peterk7662]

You two are pure adrenaline 😮😂

[@Tasteandsee420]

GoPros have gotten so good! I remember a few years ago when anything filmed in lighting like this would be almost unwatchable. Look at it now!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

They really have gotten better and peoples internet connects have also gotten better which really helps! That being said, I do lower the contrast when things get really dark. I rarely do that, but had to for this video given the lighting!

[@nicholasohlson-kiehn9291]

You should ride Snoqualmie pass it had some really fun double blacks some of the best in the state imo

[@caviarWT]

You should really try Chewacla state park in Alabama really good. I have looked at it, and it looks great.

[@discombob93]

For Phil to just follow on Mohawk blind like this, is so impressive. It's like riding a super long dirt jump set that is even very physically demanding, but also has to be one of the best jump trails in the world!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I really wish the conditions weren't so dry, though that's to be expected this time of the year, id love to ride it during the spring!

[@discombob93]

@@SkillsWithPhil just hit it on Wednesday after some rain. Trails are unbelievable after rain, Phil! I know Whistler is always the invitation, but north shore Van and Galbraith have always been special. Hopefully you are able to get back next year.

[@bogartaoki8722]

is that oval chainring with an idler? wont it reverse the effect of the oval chainring?

Shouldn't affect it matters. The high pivot really comes into play when descending where you are usually pumping and not pedaling.
