Honestly, the chair talks and interactions with other riders is great content. 👍

[@incredible5587]

that's how i found this channel rode up with him once like 2019 and he told me about his channel. bought a bike and been addicted since. thanks phil

[@jjcaron4381]

ya definently

[@Baykz1]

I love how genuine and nice Phil is In his videos it really shows how amazing most of the mountain biking community is, I love how he always try’s to start conversations on the lift and stuff. I ski and like every time I’m on the lift it’s always so quite and no one talks to each other so it’s nice to see him always starting conversations

[@user-kb7ij6ye8u]

Learned something new about metallurgy from big Red! Phil being a man of the people, coaching up kids on the Reef and giving gopro tips! Love to see it, great ambassador to dh

[@tejbergin6393]

Exactly!! It’s always so cool to see how amazing Phil is with the community

[@lanyonheinemann9162]

Love how he gives all the bros air time on the channel. Phil is the man. Unreal riding, love to pretend

[@jurassicjam2156]

I love the little conversations with people on the lifts. Everyone seems so friendly and cool. Great to see.

[@mattspen]

That glove wipe transition at 2:54 was awesome. My favorite part of your channel is how cool your are to and interact with other riders. Thanks for being awesome Phil

[@anthonygarvey1]

Phil, there is a whole new channel of content in here... presenting "up lifting with Phil" where Phil post his conversations with random bikers as they ride the up lift at bike parks. Listen to people's backgrounds, jokes, biking fails and so much more. Coming soon to most streaming platforms and wherever you download your podcasts.

[@Jimmy__98]

Underated comment

[@joebikes]

Man Phil those huck gaps into rocks are insane dude! Gotta have a lot of trust in your tires for those 😅 sick vid man!

[@PetesZ400]

Phil is simply my favorite MTBer.

[@demonhays8460]

"Lift chair conversations with phil" could be a good new segment 🤣

[@trooperV]

I think you are the friendliest mtb youtuber rider Phil. Nice riding.

[@MichaelGranataDivorceLawyer]

Anyone else get beyond stoked for park riding after watching Phil's video's??

[@benjamincaro8582]

it is so nice to see that cool vibes on an opening day so happy to see a video on this channel again big fan from Chile, South America

[@rtgMTB]

The way Phil pops just seems surreal like it's added in post, crazy man.

[@NorthCountryMTB]

My man Nick rolling with Phil! Love it!

[@kcb-0258]

Bike park season? Already? Let’s gooo! Kinda scared of Highland though after I broke my arm there

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Aw man sorry to hear that. It's claimed a lot of people over the years. Take it slow, and you'll be fine!

[@kylemccartney1831]

Me too! I fractured my collar bone and right elbow and I haven't been the same since.

[@campbellmetzgar1753]

If you break the other one it'll equal out and give you good luck

[@kcb-0258]

@@kylemccartney1831 yup I’m still trying to get used to riding again 😂

[@jeremiemcclean1635]

How could I have slept on how fun Phil is to watch. Learned so much from him early in his youtube days. Thanks for the footy🙌🏽

[@MTBingAndrew]

Phil it absolutely boggles my mind watching you ride. Plus you have such a lovely character. Good on ya mate.

[@xjohnny04]

Im always blown away of how fast you are. I ride the same trails in your vids and still get puckered going probably half the speed you do lmao. Thanks for the vid Phil, time to come out of MTB hibernation :D

[@Robertoardoin]

Phil, man, I like watching you interact with everyone as much as watching you fly.

[@dvs620]

Phil getting at the most important topic of the day. Because of him, I was today year's old when I found out that a violin and a fiddle are the same instrument. Thanks Phil. 👍

[@carl_heyerdahl]

Nothing makes me want to go ride my bike more than watching one of your videos! Thanks for always putting out such good content!

[@lymb3914]

Great to see more from you, Phil! Looked super fun, as always, and you're such an outgoing person, it's nice to see you chatting it up with other people!

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Faux Pine (the enduro trail) is one of my favorite trails at Highland. It was funny watching BKXC's video on riding at Highland and I kept thinking he should have ridden that trail as it's more of what he likes to ride, but sometimes he tends to not talk to folks prior to heading to a place to ride.

[@ericsharp5079]

Miss watching Phil flying down some crazy northeastern rocks! Great to see it again! So impressive!

[@therewolf184]

That thumb wipe camera transition at 2:54 was slick!

[@oliverbourne9599]

Yep ... that last trail you called the "Enduro trail" defo the best on your footage of the day 👌

[@SecretSpots]

That drop gap down below you guys on the lift at 0:58 holy moly! Btw, I really like that you include the conversations on the lift up! 🤙

[@keen.fitness]

"If you cut in front you better be fast" 🤣🤣🤟🏾

[@gogovitch66]

That's truely awesome riding! Soo much fun o watch! 🤙🏽

[@offroaddronie3504]

Lunch trail looks like it’s a fun and technical trail. Love all the videos glad I came across you. 👍🏻 Just got back into riding, got a GT aggressor pro. Keep up the great videos. 🤟🏻

[@jonyocum5622]

Good morning phil.m a huge fan and been watching your blogs for about 6 years now. I finally got a proper mtb yesterday and am very sore today.. thank you for your inspiration and instructional videos. You're awesome bro!

[@cortexamv]

Congrats! What bike did you get if you don't mind me asking?

[@jonyocum5622]

Specialized stumpjumper! I'm so excited and been riding non stop. Thank you for asking 😁

[@alexslater3620]

Phil’s ability to get mega air of things that shouldn’t get any air is absolutely insane!

[@stevowyeth]

I really like how humble and genuine Phil is, there needs to be more Phil's in the world.

[@weathdone]

Sick Rip Phil... Always great to see ur vids!! Thanx buddy!!!

[@felix-ve8jk]

Hey Im a CNC machinist too. Iconel sucks to machine! Its even harder than titanium and steel. One or two parts and its time to change out inserts already. Im glad hes still able to get out and ride right now. Im slammed at work doing 6 12 hr days!!

[@pellehw1302]

love your riding style!

[@MikeR65]

Glad to see you back out on the trail Captain Phil!!!

[@dimi3378]

This video illustrates perfectly why MTB community is great.

[@HummusPower]

Stumbled across your channel man and stoked to say I loved bro. Killer content and riding of course and love the chats with other riders and just being stoked on hitting it with them bro! Subbed and notifications on!

[@Sleddge83]

Love your videos Phill. I wish I could get out on my bike more.

[@joedillier7113]

Hell yeah dude! We rode there Saturday,, it was so much fun!!!

[@DGAFORLIFE]

So glad your back at it, love the videos!!!!!!

[@cdwag23]

Phil, you are the king of the side hits. So dope

[@felixajorg]

That is so cool, see you interacting with the regular riders. You are just so humble and down to earth. I can wait to meet you one day. BTW, would like to see you riding with Remy Metailler in one of your videos. That will be so cool !!

[@jjcaron4381]

those were some crazy trails👍

[@jinavl]

Ive learned @44 that riding bike parks make you a better rider..trails i use to think were hard are now easy..thanks kanuga 🤙🤙

[@OverlandGeneration]

I want to thank you for your choice of hub.. I love the stealth silence!

[@murse5558]

HA! my daughter and I were there too!! and I thought to myself, Phil should be here, but we never crossed paths! Next time! Your videos made us aware of Highland and we are going on for year 2 now!!!

[@stumpy25lbs]

Really missed your videos over winter Phil! 🤙🏼

[@dusty7933]

Nice one Phil. You should come ride Darkfest one day here in Cape Town. Love watching your videos. I must say you have some of the best bike parks that side of the world. Looking forward to the next video!

[@BIKE_BR]

[@TheDonkDonk420]

highland park is like 30min away from me, Ive always wanted to get into downhill riding and your video's have convinced me...

[@blameitonben]

I rode at Highland for the first time last fall because of you. Trails are so dang fun and playful.

[@ononewheel7]

Place is awesome.

[@jeffreydzialo]

[@murilowippel]

[@moderategnar3259]

[@tofadeisastart]

Some of those lines you take just blow my mind 😂

[@paulwolfram7774]

Gosh, this video makes me itch to go back to Highland.

[@benwigginsbikes]

[@rivercloud33]

Sweet content

[@madlad3900]

Love your vids

[@Graeleaf]

Absolutely awesome! I remember the first video I saw on your channel was of you riding this trail system in the snow! Always wicked fun! 🤘

[@incredible5587]

one of the guys you were talking to inline i seen yesterday may 26 in the back of the stretcher on the side by side the drop after feed drop. hes great guy local dude. not going to say names. i hope he is alright.

[@SunMoonStar4th]

you are very skilled

[@dewy3288]

I was just about to check if Highland was open! I want to go again since my first time going was last fall and it was a blast!

[@darius4905]

Can't wait to go to my first ever bike park this year! Also amazing video Phil!❤

[@all_the_hype4576]

2:13 Phil: ya know, I think a lot of east coast places ride better early season, when the dirt is still wet. It just has a bit more give Yes Phil, we call this hero dirt😂

[@slide_drexler]

Im getting arm pump just by watching Phil ride.

[@ryanspreer]

So True😂

[@woe_]

Love the videos Phil. I live vicariously through them since I can't bike anymore

[@gabebertozzi3032]

LOve the highland vids!!! NEver stop them

[@trailrunnah8886]

The comment about VT cost of living hits home. I'd love to relocate to Vermont, or some areas out west, but the cost of living had just become crushing anywhere remotely desirable.

[@Jen_TheSnail]

I would love to learn how to mountain bike. Once I learn how to ride a bike lol. It looks so fun and freeing

[@one_mtb]

Man someone’s gotta make a chest protector with a GoPro mount! I use a chin mount when I’m making videos because it’s a better angle, but when I’m just riding I don’t always want a camera on my chin. But I feel that I ride much better and harder with a camera on because if I crash I at least have it on video 😂

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I actually think they do, but I don't wear chest protects so hopefully somebody will chime in with a suggestion!

[@one_mtb]

@@SkillsWithPhil I’ll have too look into it, guess you could always heat up a sticky mount too

[@blombardo83]

I was thinking of trying to find a chest mount chest protector but I was also thinking if I crash it would probably be better on the helmet, on the chin 🤔.

[@alexstormzy3878]

Question how do boost ur confidence riding? It takes me like a solid 10 min before committing to a drop

[@backwoodsbassin1870]

Yo Phil you should come out to Parker mtn and ride the backside at the wall ride in Littleton

[@cameronrayment9576]

Yo! Love the video as always. Out of curiosity, I know you were running the TMAC’s for a while, have you switched? I always like to see what the best are running

[@Frostyfields]

Skills with Phil, your amazing!

[@incredible5587]

you going this sunday!!!

[@destinhook3826]

You just float over the gnarliest shit it’s crazy haha
