“Going to take it easy this run.” Then gaps the entire mountain 😂

[@vtforester1382]

Was coming here to say this lol

[@SkysTheLimit745]

No he gaps from one mountain to the next you're way off with this estimate

[@rmacMTB]

Comment of the year.

[@Nebbzz]

BABE WAKE UP, SKILLS WITH PHIL UPLOADED 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️

[@goatkin3845]

I'm sorry sad I missed him, I'm going Friday

[@chicky4043]

Literally

[@eugenemailloux182]

mooommmmmmmmm!!!!!!! GET THE CAMERA!!

[@invyr5406]

I usually don't comment that much, but I felt the need to let you know how much I appreciate how respectfully you and Haley communicate with each other. It's so thoughtful to ask if she minds you watching her. The rest of the video is awesome as always :)

[@driftertank]

"Huh...that sounds loose..." (Continues to send way harder than I ever will)

[@kwyer1963]

Phil never disappoints!! His line imagination is epic!!

[@chrissmoot6737]

Its ridiculous how easy he makes everything look.

[@Clownery1]

Thanks for giving me a fist bump in the lift line!!

[@CenturyRide]

I love when you show Haley learning a line... Helps me imagine taking that drop. 🙌🏻

[@ripapa6355]

I'm walking on the treadmill and it's making me lean side to side watching this. I almost fell off.😅😂

[@PandahWatch]

I do this too!!! 😂😂

[@ZagelMedia]

I do the same thing haha, I always tense up and tilt my head during berms lol

[@ridelikekrum7707]

Great video Phil, as usual you are killing it! My 2 cents,,, I prefer the first camera view over the second one thats later in the video..

[@DirkJaenike]

Awesome SKill Phil :P. Looks so cool to see you riding. Best Regards Dirk

[@breadsandwich8419]

I was up there on opening day, its so good to be on a bike again!

[@Karani0]

Mountain biking has always been my favorite sport, but as a broke high school student i've only had those crappy department store ones 😭. This year, I decided to save up and get myself a budget beginner one that can at hopefully last me a while, the GT Aggressor from Dick's, and I must say as a beginner who only rides my local park trails for now with only a few downhill trails (Richmond, VA has nothing nearby), it's so fun. Some day I hope to be able to shred like you, phil! You're an inspiration.

[@SecretSpots]

Always love watching your POV because your line choices are phenomenal! 👌

[@valeriesorrells]

never get bored watching your lines. I'm hoping to get up to Highland this summer and now I have to get more armor.

[@gravitytester1963]

You are the first youtuber I subscribed to and have been a loyal follower ever since and can’t wait for your first download of the season…..and this one didn’t disappoint! Keep up the good work Phil!

[@mikebatiste]

He lives!!!! The season has officially begun!

[@littlehobbies]

Idk how a feel about Phil riding with a red bike lol and the tease at the end so mean lol, great to see a video from phil though going to be a great season

[@andrewpm2]

Unless you've ridden here, you really can't appreciate how fast you're rippin down these trails, especially the tight switchbacks. Sick riding as usual! See you out there.

[@johnochsner7913]

Phil & and I ride the same these days, We are both riding Conti Tires ! I'm NOT the the only Conti rider in the park ! YEAH !

[@mattjax16]

Your right about the camera not doing cats paw justice but still great watching you ride it to learn all the fun little line on it. Also s/o Jerrel such a nice guy and crazy he’s only been riding like 3 years

[@jeffp5418]

Im on a GT Force this year, so far its a sweet bike. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Couffee]

“Let’s address the elephant in the room, today I’m wearing Fox… JUST KIDDING, I’ll see you guys next time.” Phil your a real one

[@willbell1308]

That camera setup near the end looks way better

[@brunoolmedo7874]

Thanks to your videos I just bought a gt force, and it's been awesome

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Congrats dude, that's awesome!

[@vitaalvitaal5440]

The camera angle at the end is the best. MORE

[@MTBKingLife]

I got my Phil fix. The season has officially started. Can’t get enough of your line choices. Halley is killing it.

[@andrewventre8352]

conditions look great!! and hailey is ripping!

[@andrewventre8352]

also i like the camera test, itll take a little getting used to a maybe some tweaks but it gives a cool different perspective

[@gregorycobb]

Miss you man! Happy to have you back!

[@frankw4135]

Wonderful to see you and Hailey out riding!

[@stevengeorge9340]

Haley is killing it!!!

[@xcaliber_gaming]

I would have liked to have seen your whole bike in full frame at some point during the footage. I don't know what it looks like. The wide angle lens at the end was ok, but hard to adjust to after the previous footage. That place looks fun !

[@FantaMann42]

Nice. Bike parks are open ion your area!! Here in California, we have to wait a bit longer. Snow Summit opening day is June 7th.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Only, highland right now in New England. Highland is a mountain bike only park so they don't have to swap things over from ski season to bike season unlike most resorts in the northeast. Most bike parks in the area wont open until late may/june.

[@FantaMann42]

@@SkillsWithPhil still, that bike park looks so kick ass. Orange County and northern county of San Didgo only have the following: Skypark, Vailocity, and Luesenño Bike Park. They all pale to comparison to Highland.

[@samscales9738]

A collab with danny hart would be sick to see now they both ride for gt. Would be interested to see what Phil thinks of uk trails and Danny's descent bike park

[@righteousbob272]

23:00 looks pretty good man, cool to see your body position more to analyze to improve ourselves

[@ltdanyj]

Yes, Go Phil- but also, GO HAILEY!!!

[@AndyShreds77]

Insane video you should come to my local which is moutain creek and do another video there. Great video!!

[@lamefart]

22:00 the Remy FOV. Nice!

[@bikeguycody]

new camera and bike sick cant wait for the video to see what you got the camera looks like the her 12 with max lens 2.0 possible? the bike is beautiful sounds like theres alot going on with it though

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Loose bolts and things needed a few rides to settle in is part of the normal new bike process. It always takes a few rides to get them setup.

[@elbino413]

Let’s go it’s that time a year again, prepping my bike for first trip to thunder mountain baby!

[@yungjaypee]

YEEESSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOO WELCOME BACK PHIL

[@masonbell2]

You need to do that different camera set up more often. It looked so good 22:00

[@mikegarland7708]

Sweet ride, havent seen that one before.

[@kylemanning9974]

The new camera angle is okay for something different but not as immersive or POV imo, I prefer the standard setup

[@bikemoney2642]

Stoked you’re out of hibernation. Finally some ripping to watch.

[@noahridesmtb5886]

Hey Phil just wondering what kind of tires you and Haley run on your bike and if you would ever try the continental tires. I have been running them on my 2022 giant stance for a couple months and have loved them they have got to be the best sidewall and pinch protection I’ve ever seen in a tire and I haven’t really seen many people in Australia running them.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

3:05 Phil scientifically formulating his secret anti-seize compound 😂

[@bradyheath6828]

I wish Phil's riding videos never ended. 🤟

[@markalarcon1366]

Awesome riding as usual. Btw what camera settings is the last one? Thanks

[@luchoule]

Last camera angle is way better! very nice riding and video!!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

The lens is a bit more vulnerable and I so want to run it in the mud, but the extra FOV is really handy and the distortion isn't bad. I haven't committed to it yet, but I want to make a full video with it to see how I feel.

[@kenanjones3481]

@@SkillsWithPhil I think I may be in the minority in thinking that your standard camera setup is better, but I've always thought you've had one of the best camera setups of any mtb youtubers I've seen. That said the new setup was also quite good and showcased how much you move the bike around really well in my opinion, it just doesn't convey the same sense of how gnarly the terrain is for me.

[@DavidMikro]

New angle is pretty nice

[@willymtbb]

when are you coming down to creek dude? i really want to see you there

[@Pencilgod420]

phil do you think you could make like a video of a tour of your bike collection please?

[@ManeMtb]

I am just amazed how Phil picks the line, makes a gap and lands precisely where he wants to. I land somewhere within 15ft in diameter of where I intend to 🤣

[@Rprete441]

Phil, can you please tell me the GoPro settings you used at the end please 🙏🏻

[@htnrumpkicker7868]

That kid at 20:15 really was ripping on the setup that he was running.

[@SummitMTB]

YES!!! ANOTHER SKILLS WITH PHIL 🎉🎉

[@charleydavis7267]

love watching your vids! you should do one on the hurricane zone trails in North Conway

[@chrismade123]

like to see haily riding speed for comparison, you r so fast, nice showing other riders doing features.

[@nohemoglibin8677]

I like that red and black on the rig.

[@aidenfenoff]

So excited to go back this year🎉

[@stevenkilleen8149]

I enjoyed that last new angle

[@markokevingrilc9597]

The camera angle at the end was awesome 🤩 It looks more as your POV, thou it’s a bit fishy(like it rounds the edges on a fish eye lens), but still like it Nice video👊🏻

[@tomassanesson902]

Nice bike and awesome video

[@vladamirtepes5567]

Oh shit. Riding season is here. Phil didn't see his shadow!

[@cameronbohac617]

That new camera POV is awesome, definitely should try to implement it more👍

[@johnfinelli6882]

PHIL, What GT Frameset are you running in this video?

[@DigAndRide]

did u ever talked with GT/Conti about UCI DHI? would love to see u there :D

[@alecmarcotte7730]

My man is COOKING

[@YeahDude-nt8sl]

Is that new Force a size medium frame?

[@ktvlm3987]

wonderful its that season again!

[@RedRaccoon69]

love the new color on the bike!

[@mpag001]

Can you do a 3rd person POV video? I want to see how you go through berms, drops and jumps. I learn by watching how people do it and your videos does not let me see how you do it

[@angizze]

Oh man was wondering if you went mia

[@righteousbob272]

Casually just jumps into pov with the slickest new frame and not mentioning it!

[@TheRiotMTB]

Your line choices are 👌🏼

[@titancox]

Loved the experimental angle for the tech riding! Really cool to see how you position your whole bike and body going that fast

[@GreenMeanie101]

It's that time of year again :)

[@Lee_mtb6]

epic vid 🤟

[@chrisburns460]

Love the new camera settings

[@stumpy25lbs]

Phil's back yay!! 🙌 New bike check..? 😃🔥🙏🏼

[@EastTexasPatriot]

Finally… Love me a Phil upload! 😎

[@svssvs9848]

Finallyyy!!! New bikee??

[@RAD_Family]

Aaa can we say new bike day!!!!

[@imabigfanbro]

24:33 😭

[@SmithFarmTilton]

As a local, if you haven't tried it already........ fuel up at the end of the day @ Casamigo's down on Main St.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I usually find a spot halfway home on my drive home to eat, but I'll keep that in mind if I'm looking to switch it up!

[@RiderNambaLast]

Фил, у тебя такой красивый GT, хоть бы показал крупным планом)

[@dcooksey503]

Wait what bike is this? Not the blue were used to seeing and man am I glad to see a new biking video from Phil.

[@srsbsns7673]

It said Force on the top tube. Probably a prototype for an updated model, so he can't talk about it yet.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

🤔🤔🤔

[@Ohlins_ttx]

hey phil pretty sure i saw you road biking on the 2nd

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Not me! I don't own a road bike.

[@prslol1]

Eh didn’t like the experimental camera view. Extra FOV is nice but the distortion is way too much. Usual setup looks much more natural.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

10:59 👌🤘

[@outdoorswithalex6649]

I swear in a way this guy's better than goldstone

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Hehe, I appreciate the sentiment, but Jackson goldstone is on another level. I say this as someone who has raced world cups in the past. The top 5 riders on the World Cup circuit are make the top 30 riders look slow.

[@andrewlamarche325]

Dude I was in the lift line next to you! Didn’t want to bug you by saying hi

[@srsbsns7673]

That experiment is making me feel motion sick and I don't ever get motion sick. You don't learn if you don't try new things, but that super wide FOV is really hard to watch.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I usually get motion sickness easily (which probably sounds ironic), so I couldn't do hyperview on the last GoPro, but this distortion didn't bother me. I need to try it in a few different situations to come to a more firm conclusion.

[@dems_mtb]

nice ride!

[@bdog_rips]

16:19 that was me and my friend we didn’t want to do the actual roll lmao. Don’t worry I did it later that day 💪🏼

[@elitaube3273]

"Going to take it easy on this run" proceeds to go full gas and gap everything on the mountain

[@KeithySE]

New bike?

[@willyoung7344]

You’re back!!

[@Lee_mtb6]

bro needs the Shimano brakes

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Shimano also needs to be bedded in, as with every brake.

[@Lee_mtb6]

@@SkillsWithPhil I know just from my experience there the most reliable and easy to work with anyway love the vid dude

[@Gavinbelson]

Did they put covers over the lift chairs yet? That lift is slow as balls and sun cooks you.

[@OffRhodes]

The lift speed is set by state law.
