Something Was Bound To Go Wrong On The Whole Enchilada!

The Whole Enchilada may be the worlds most legendary mountain bike trail. However, Moab got hit with a torrential rainstorm the weekend before, washing out roads making it impossible to access the of the climb. So we'll have to settle for the partial Enchilada. Even with that, we still had 22miles of rocky traitorous terrain to traverse, and no matter how prepared you are, something is bound to go wrong.

[@BCpov]

I litteraly yelled "oh my god phil!" When you sent it blind over those rocks. We like watching you do stupid stuff, but we don't like seeing you get hurt!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I was so confused as to what got me. It wasn't until I rewatched the video that I figured out that my pedal clipped the shrub, which explained the bent crank arm.

[@SPRINGFPV]

@@SkillsWithPhil heyo you should totally try to meet up with Jeff Cayley in cali while your in the area! It would be a great collab and interview thing. Or maybe come by and say high to me and others in az lol

[@jakelesnake]

I just started the video and these are the top comments...fuck I'm in for a ride lmao

[@WilliamLevesqueineX]

Entire video knowing he was riding blind I was just thinking there's no way he's not getting into trouble sending and gapping like he was on a trail like this ! But hey, it's all good in the end :P

[@kenanjones3481]

I made the mistake of reading this comment before I watched all the video and I was on the edge waiting for the crash the whole time 😬love you and Yuka's channels too lol, I didn't even notice your name at first

[@mtb_ryan]

Man, watching you make line choices out there at speed is wild.

[@cjjohnson1821]

Trying to pick the craziest one each time usually gets you the Phil line!

[@richardp6461]

Hey Phil, never feel like you have to make the monkey dance for me. I have always loved your videos even if we are just building a trail. Thanks for bringing the thrills though but stay safe.

[@NOBLWheels]

Loved having you along, Phil 🍻 We'll get that final bite of the Enchilada the next time!

[@MrScottySteak]

Is there anybody better at riding a new trail blind than Phil? Keep shredding🔥🤙

[@Wizler71]

Very surprised you had never been to Moab before! I hope you enjoyed it.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Yeah, honestly I tend to avoid things that people constantly recommend. Heck, I avoided Whistler for most of my riding career!

[@lamefart8831]

What a beast. Another Thrills with Phil!😆 Next... Flying Monkey and King Kong. 5:50 of all people to ask about wheelie dropping... If he'd seen Phil's tutorials and riding in general especially Seth's and Phil's shenanigans with a bmx then he wouldn't have asked. 😆

[@Mahlz]

And to think that Braydon Bringhurst climbed the whole enchilada trail and cleaned every gnarly feature including the snotch. Cool to see someone going the other way on it! Thanks for the years of entertainment Phil!

[@BSm2919]

Having ridden that trail several times, you made it look way way easier than it is! A few of those drops/hops are seriously huge for the average rider!

[@jhatzenbuh002]

Having been there and on that exact portion of trail 11 months ago for the first time it was incredibly fun seeing you ride it for the first time compared to me and my buddies! Incredible how much stuff you're able to clean blind, on the fly! Guess the Ahab descent and lower Portal were more your style - hope videos are to come from those trails.

[@jc9301]

Epic ride Phil, thanks for sharing, looking forward to more Moab adventures!

[@spehnke]

Sweet run right before the wipe out! I jumped out of my seat when you went over. Keep healthy man and thanks for sharing the ride!

[@johnnyrc9304]

"Are you ok with Wheelie Drops?" Has homeboy even watched a Phil Skilz video? lol

[@onlysendsmtb]

I love that the riding in Moab is exactly the same as it was when I rode there in the mid '90s. I gotta get back out there...if only for the nostalgia.

[@sonoman00ify]

You are livin' my dream bro!! I was very into mountainbiking in early 80s. Its been about 40 years. I got a new bike 5 months ago. Grew up in NorCal., now live in Maryland. Im loving it!

[@ktmkirby]

We got lucky and the roads were fixed by the second week in October. The climb up Burro Pass was pretty tough for this 63 year old, but the downhill to where you guys started was epic! One week earlier and one week later and we wouldn't have been able to do The Whole Enchilada. I can't believe you did that drop! Riding it didn't even cross my mind!

[@travisradke9753]

Shredding at high speed, nice riding! Did LPS two weeks ago and it was the greatest thing that I’ve done on a bike. Can’t wait to go back.

[@lborisfromlv426]

Stunning video phill. Loved it. You looked like you were having a great time. Your lines are amazing to watch.

[@samsters3248]

Never did the whole Enchilada but did SlickRock, Porcupine Rim which is on your video and man…!!! You brought back amazing memories when we visit Moab back in 2008. 👍 Hope you feeling ok after that crash…!!!

[@glitchman3194]

Just Phil out doing Phil stuff. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride

[@scottmasa7774]

thanks for taking us on this epic ride!

[@cmdmd]

Brother, I spent about 28-30 days per year in Utah, SLC and Moab over the past 18 years, there is a t-shirt that says that there are two road conditions in Utah: Winter and Construction. :) You’ve made me want to resurrect my old Giant VT Two, lol, and trail ride once more. I have become sedentary and lazy.

[@b3tablocker]

Thank you. Natural trails are awesome.

[@petedog9581]

"Alpine zones" is all big mountain riding and what make it so epic. Ending in high desert on slick rock is the best after being on loose scree and roots in the higher altitude. Great ride. Glad you did it. It seems the Whole Enchilada has ben hard to do for the past few years with the weather issues.

[@jamescarabini9053]

That was amazing!! So glad you ate it all.

[@incredible5587]

i can see phil looking at the rocks and wanting to hop on and off them all.

[@kahlventure994]

You’re great man! You’re making your own line on the trail. I’m like “how did he f-ng get there?”. And I was like “I hope he’s okay” when you crashed. Will be watching more.

[@snopen]

I’ve ridden enchilada every year for the past 5. It’s so fun. I already thought you were an insane rider, but this confirms everything.

[@charliehicks2554]

Damn Phil! It is so fun to watch you ride .

[@stumpy25lbs]

Riding that jank blind at speed next to a cliff... you're my hero Phil! 🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@Podjr]

Fun to watch you ride a lot of the trail I hike a bike 🤣. I go over my handle bars every time I ride that thing! Great video!

[@norcaltaz40]

Awesome riding, kept thinking to myself, this is what it's like flying by everyone on super tech trail!

[@mtbville]

Sketchy looking trails 🫣

[@T-rick]

Having visited this spot in Early June it was great to watch it again! Very different than the East Coast dirt I usually ride!

[@ivan-dx9fo]

i love riding those super wide trails with tons of lines, it feels like surfing

[@PawelB]

Impressive you did the Notch, that thing is soo gnarly!

[@mrvwbug4423]

One of my favorite rides. I did 2/3rds of an Enchilada late in October last year, started at Kokopelli because Burro and Hazard were already snowed in. Still an amazingly fun ride. That drop @21:27, a friend of mine has video of a guy who didn't realize it was a huck and rolled straight off it, promptly OTBing and going splat.

[@noluck8250]

the way you mobbed that downhill was so efforttless. Sick vid Phil!

[@abstraddic0442]

👣 With all that experience, I'm shocked that Phil never rode anywhere in Utah that's nuts. Have now ! 👍

[@scottvan6064]

Great video, your killing it Phil

[@brianfurtaw7893]

Nice Job Phil!

[@davisjl1979]

Epic!!!

[@SkarTisu]

You took a beating there! I’m glad you’re alright. That crash looked terrifying!

[@greateagle5555]

Seeing you ride this trail after I did last month makes me really appreciate how good of a rider you really are. Wish you rode the "Snotch" as it looked impossible when I walked down it

[@justthetrailmtb]

I just did the WE last week. You made those tough lines look so easy. Amazing. And it’s always fun to eat it on the edge of a cliff.

[@MTBwMacc]

Looks like a lot of fun in the sun.

[@somethingelsehere8089]

Loved the video!

[@raphalreadytaken1218]

This looks like a lot of fun

[@hbiking]

That looks like a sick trial! Hope to go out there sometime soon 🤘

[@mikedrew7265]

I think GT will be selling quite a few bikes after video haha. Great riding Phil!

[@devonprice469]

An adventure/cross country type ride is a nice switch up sometimes though. I just went on one in Coopers Rock, WV and it was a nice change of pace from bike parks and DH. Glad you didn't get hurt on that spill, Phil! ahahaa... I'll keep my day job

[@lawrencerodeback]

That was a fast 30 minute video. Enjoyed it all

[@oak7746]

awesome video man. glad you didn't get too banged up after that fall 🙌

[@arokit]

Whole Enchilada is one of my favourites in Utah alongside Captain Ahab. Quite the Epic descent.

[@dsm156]

As a utahonki, your last few videos have been awesome to watch. Your riding in that last section makes it look easy even though I know it's not.

[@MTBKingLife]

Line choice, line choice, line choice. You are next level on finding them and what you do with them. First time at Moab, really? One of the best vids I’ve seen you do. So stoke you were ok as well.

[@singletrackmania1]

It is absolutely unbelievable seeing you "interpret" that trail. After seeing all the other KZbinr videos here where everyone takes, or attempts the same lines it is absolutely insane the way you see lines and possibilities no one else sees. It's like you're riding through a different dimension and you see glimpses of the other mere mortal riders around you looking at the trail all confused.

[@jameshinton429]

Seriously.

[@E2tge]

Sounds like you have been introduced to Utah Biking! Goatheads, WE, Cows! I think I rode it a week after this!

[@coolwillrocks]

damn, you got out of that creek bed at the end like it was nothing, that's like 3 feet straight up lol. Looking forward to your POV on ahab and portal ;)

[@FiretrailMtb]

Epic dude that trail looks so much fun definitely a bucket list job would be the dram to ride there at least once 🫡🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ScoobyDo2009]

Looking forward to your Portal Video!

[@jun2932]

Hahaha! I know that house you're staying in! We stay there every year during a 3 day running event I help with. That's hilarious.

[@JT-hw6mq]

amazing

[@Deanotorious]

I think I did Half-Enchilada just a couple days before you! I managed to do the two moves at the Notch, but that alt line that you took was insane!

[@user-wn1dh2ql5g]

so cool

[@ChronoCard]

I saw your Instagram story when you did the Notch. I was up there a couple of weeks ago as well. Sick to finally see you ride it :D

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Such a gnarly crash! I was watching on my TV and it startled me!!

[@bluegull1541]

Phil, "I'm afraid of heights", as he proceeds to wheelie drop it!!

[@jameshinton429]

That crash was gnarly. Bro, that was technical and critical, with speed. Insane as always.

[@skilledLaborForce]

We just rode the whole Enchii a couple weeks ago. And its unfortunate that you were not able to start from the top, that downhill section from Burro Pass is insane!!

[@garyharmon5386]

Awesome video and great riding. I hope to make it their one day but it’s a long way from south Georgia.

[@jeffingersoll3154]

I lived in Moab for 6 years and broke many bones riding those trails. You gave me PTSD watching you fly over those rocks!

[@alanross7694]

All those riders were better than I will ever be and Phil made them look like beginners.

[@bobbobo4122]

Sick vid

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Awesome footage on 4k tv.

[@jakebeaudrie]

I feel like maybe the only person who didn't know you were gonna crash right there was you!! LOL I'm glad you're ok. It looked pretty gnarly.

[@h82fail]

Yeah I've ridden the whole enchilada, its a natural trail not one built for flow and he's riding it blind. When he picked up so much speed and then hucked into unknown I was thinking something bad is going to happen and then boom lol. Not sure what even happened, doesn't look like front tire caught up, maybe crank hit?

[@23skido]

Did this on my salsa hard tail this summer… tubes and all. No flats! Crazy

[@SpokesmanMTB]

My TWE vid drops tomorrow! (Lotta people riding the Enchilada this month!) I love this vid, thanks for posting!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

October is said to be the best time to ride there given the weather! My trip coincided with outerbike, but that wasn't something i planned 😂

[@samuelkahn3565]

was just there as well for the first time.

[@jacksonrhoton5103]

Super impressive hitting the notch 1st try just scouting it out yourself. That's so much scarier in person

[@Sunshine-wn5ev]

If I had 30 perfect of your ability I would be set 🤙🏻 love your vids

[@Friskee62]

I knew that you would ride like you do, even at Moab...that was crazy. I saw the video with Seth, Brian and Alex in Moab some years ago...

[@SkillsWithPhil]

It's funny i went back and watched other videos after i posted this and realized i had watched Seth's video many years ago. I'm glad i didn't remember any of it, i like riding things with s fresh perspective

[@gravity.gourmet]

What an amazing landscape this is 🥰 would love to ride there (Utah) some day - from Europe its quiet a journey and pricey😅

[@TweezerShred]

Jeez, if you go down on those rocks... so jagged but beautiful

[@daddydeeppocketz]

Love the videos! Would be hilarious to see a falls compilation called "Spills with Phil" not sure if you've already done it though. Lmao!

[@trailroam]

I want Phil to move to Utah just so I can see more red rock MTB videos 🤙🏼

[@3xceIIent]

Just as I am looking down the cliff thinking how long of a drop that would be Phil goes flying over his handle bars. I am very glad it was to the left and not to the right.

[@5150hammerhead]

What kind of sick lunatic built that trail? Those cliffs were scary. Awesome riding by all.

[@scrappy7571]

Phil, your a friggin animal! How the hell do you pick a line so quickly and easily. Those cliff drops off to side are scary. Glad no injury's other than a bum crank.

[@JerryWDaviscom]

Hey bro, don't hurt yourself. I broke my foot Sept. 29th, and missed all of October riding. Had planned to hit Durango in October, and now its "maybe next year." Still in a boot and am praying that I can ride mid-November. Breaking bones sucks. Rocks are hard.

[@willienillie6337]

I want to say ride with caution and care but I also want to see the jumps and drops, so I’ll safe ride with skills. Party on Phil.

[@loopforwhile]

Bummed that you didn't go up to Burro pass. The trails up there are wild... and steep... right in your wheelhouse.

[@tehalexy]

23:59 a whisper from the future:"breaaaaak, noooo"

[@allenrichards5086]

Kmetz for president, I'm glad you're safe AND the way you blindly rode TWE was inspiring!

[@mpom4990]

Riding the Enchilada like a downhill course!

[@seasonedsurfer23]

Idea for a blooper channel or crash compilation... Spills with Phil. Those blind sends have pucker factor even on film 🤯

[@oldkayakdude]

Been doing riding vacations to Moab since the mid 90s, I was wondering if you where your sandstone sample was going to be. You picked the most exposed section to practice your pushups! Glad you didn't ping off to the right :D

[@momentum8602]

hitting the rocks is definitely me🤣 glad i’m not the only person has fun doing that, maybe that’s why you got a flat tire🤔

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I never flatted. It was the rider right behind me.

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

You just make sure you make it back out here in southern ca. ;)

[@LeviLaughinghouse]

You should come check out carvins cove in VA
