The Enduro World Series Race Practice Was Rough 🙈

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Quick question I'll be posting the race content later this week, at the moment it's around 45 minutes long. Would you rather see two videos that are ~20 mins long, or one +40min thicc boii? Let me know here please!

[@ValleSVida]

40 min is too long to find the time to watch in one sit in my opinion.

[@Nebbzz]

Two! Then the content would be farther apart so I can enjoy it most!! Whatever you want to do but that’s my opinion on it. Will be happy either way!

[@calebw707]

two but don't post them to far apart

[@CP-qx2ff]

break it into 2

Not going to lie Phil, I'm pretty upset with you.. You've made the majority of other biking channels on KZbin unenjoyable for me due to the absolute stellar quality of your channel, riding skills, and personality. You're in a league of your own my friend.

[@Nebbzz]

I was ab to be mad but then I read the rest 🤣

[@SkillsWithPhil]

HahaI appreciate the kind words man!

[@dookiedimez2550]

@@SkillsWithPhil Absolutely man. They're well deserved.

[@Ganiscol]

You only need two other channels anyway: Jack Moir's MoiMoi TV and Bernard Kerr's LSD - if you like fun race vlogs, those are the two. 😉

[@gamecubegauntlet]

I have a mix of phil, bkxc and a local guy(I live in Puerto Rico). Love the content on all 3!!

[@khervinjaycolita]

"so if I bought one you won't be mad"... that was smooth.... LOL

[@gamecubegauntlet]

dudes standing around checking the rocks and phil flying past them cracked me up🤣🤣🤣

[@joebikes]

No worries Phil! The narrow field of view is sort of nostalgic 😂 great video!

[@harpertaplin2008]

I just got my new Norco Sight A2 2021 model, and I've been soo stoked to ride it. But the first thing I did was go and watch some of your videos to get in the mood. Your riding skills are awesome, love your content.

[@adamgaisser1875]

Great video Phil. As someone who lives in VT it is cool to see this event happening so close to home.

[@righteousbob272]

I am so proud of you :) Coming from an Enduro rider in Texas I am pumped for you!

[@0G_Kush]

Thanks for the content I have to wait for you to upload because I don’t enjoy watching anybody else’s videos like I love yours . Keep it up, keep shedding🤘🏻

[@Nebbzz]

NEW VIDEO!! Can’t wait to watch. I love your content and your the main reason I started a KZbin channel. Been a subscriber since 100k, keep it up!!

[@mrvwbug4423]

@17:26, you cleared that section better than most of the pros did. The only ones I saw in the highlights take that same line and clean it were Rude, Melamed, Connolly and Harnden. Moir took a weird high line to the right

[@gnarmountain]

Sounds like a great workout! both from a fitness perspective and like a mental perspective.

[@jamesbarrett2380]

Love your vids man, just good ol' honest, simple mtb content

[@TheRotundRider]

Kamloops!!!! It’s four hours from Whistler, going the speed limit. ;)

[@zacharyowens]

Nice video Phil! Didn't get a chance to chat with you this weekend but I make multiple cameos in this video (5:00, 7:17, and 12:17). Having watched your video for a couple years now that was pretty fun to see! First enduro for me so I've got a lot to learn, but your videos have been a great resource for me trying to improve!

[@dirtydogfpv1159]

Funny....I was watching you start the ride and talking about the lack of gloves....moved the screen up because I thought I was down and trying to look up....then you popped on with the PSA.

[@dj_ath]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@marathuzula9024]

Huge plus when the wife says I want to get the toy... that you bought a week ago but have yet to tell her

[@happymeh123]

Love to see you doing an EWS100 but always happy to see whatever you are excited to ride! We should convince GT bikes to get you over and hang out with Matt Jones for red bull hardline!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I've done 3 Enduros (I think). The over mountain race at highland in 2011 back when nobody knew what enduro . This was coincidently Richie Rude's first Enduro I think, One ESC in 2015/16, and Then US open in 2019 but I think that's it.

[@happymeh123]

@@SkillsWithPhil cool! I remember the US open one and changed my comment lol sorry!

[@ktvlm3987]

dibs on a surron test ride! ;)

[@stumpy25lbs]

Wow that stage 6 was gnarly! Even though I've now got a crick in the neck I like that camera angle as it gives the viewer a better idea of the jank! 😱🙏🏼

[@odinshunter9297]

Phil got the best downhill channel out there. Always great content, keep up the good work. :)

[@Anzo727]

17:11 ny heart stopped for a second 🤣

[@FilipMatacin]

You should have talked with Win Masters to give you some input about "how to" do things right on an EWS trail..

[@dan.b84]

Get the surron! They are soo dang fun! I get more questions than anything when I'm out riding.

[@cgriggsiv]

Like the fact that you brought your wonderful wife with you And that you both are having such a good time And I'm pretty sure you're going to tear up those down hills to the best of your abilities and probably just a little bit more I've seen what you can do on burm peak and it Whistler and a few others

[@emma-eventing]

kinda excited to see you racing again!! and omg i've never been more mad at myself than when i had my helmet cam at too low of an angle bleh

[@SkillsWithPhil]

It's so frustrating isn't it? Here the camera angle is right where it's supposed to be, but the Field of view is cropped in a bit which makes it feel like it's point to far down. That being said, sometimes when you're tired, you tend to bury your head and look down which can also affect the camera angle.

[@emma-eventing]

@@SkillsWithPhil Phil please - do you even get tired?? Lol jk… for real tho idk if it’s just a thing with mountain bikers liking to tinker with camera settings etc but horse sport riders have adopted a low profile visor camera made in France by cambox that maybe isn’t as hi-res as GoPro (tho I’m pretty sure mine does 4K) but is super small, clicks into place, and hides right under my helmet visor

[@sik59rt]

Miss seeing ya on the right coast dh circuit.

[@bmaclaps]

From seeing some other riders POV it looks like stage 6 will be the deciding factor with who takes the win. Will it be Jesse winning another one or will local Pro Richie Rude claim it? Should be a banger of a race! Best of luck to you, Phil!

[@maxgreene5632]

how do you like your brakes? i have shimano deore xt and i was wondering witch is better? if you have tried them witch do you think?

[@DeakozAU]

Your next track should be at samford iron bark gully in brisbane

[@chimps4gimps]

Are you going to the GT Malvern Classic this year?

[@tomassanesson902]

So awesome cool ❤👍🤘

[@crnzsrt]

Hello Phil. Are there any videos of you of when you were racing professionally? I would love to watch them. Love your content

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Not really. GoPro's didn't have stabilization when I was still racing and there was no way I was going to race with a gimbal on and those were really a thing either. There's a few videos out there but they are few and far between. 3rd Person kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmSWpnprh56bn7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYeuh2mgociSqs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKTXZ6R4r5mCiqs POV kzbin.info/www/bejne/baWWaauvitaiqsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoHRmJt5qtplrqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKvHnWmwprumZ8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip3MimWja9-MZpY

[@trentonsmith2778]

I haven't been watching very long or been actually been hitting mountain bike trails for long either (but I have been biking and bmxing for a while so I'm sorta comfortable on trials) but you have given me (and my friend) little more comfortable biking and you have been supplying lots of entertaining content too. Do you still post mtb content in the winter too?

[@kitten-inside]

Will there be a XC race next, or are you going straight into cyclocross?

[@nikounourbakhsh8433]

Love the content, wish I could make it to an enduro race I was gonna hit one at blue mountain on the 27 of august but I can’t make it so I lost out on the registration fees :(. I will definitely be going when I can 😂!

Please stop comparing us, it's annoying. I know you want to know who's faster, but i got away from racing because of that kind of toxicity. I just want to have fun without expectations.

[@kingrat738]

@@SkillsWithPhil Apologies @Phil.... I never mentioned times (although that is the general premiss with Enduro races)... Rather something like what Nate Hills does with his mates... all out having a hoot and bombing down the trail 🤘

When is your custom linkage coming for your force?

I'm sorry to disappoint :P

[@squirrellove75]

How do you both slide out the most and fall the least??

[@californiapoontappa]

Do you only do super view when riding and do regular view when vlogging or just talking to the camera

[@SkillsWithPhil]

For pov I'm almost always running Superview. The extra view horizon and ground really helps give a bit more perspective. I will sometimes switch to wide if I'm talking and looking to directly to the camera.

[@californiapoontappa]

@@SkillsWithPhil yeah I do moto vlogging and run super view I just leave my go pro on super view tho. Only down side is you can't see how tight corners are or how steep hills are.

[@TheTotalGeek]

@@SkillsWithPhil Sorry Phil. KZbin is bad at keeping my feed filled with all of the channels I've subscribed to. Maybe my old ipad with ancient software needs replacing. I do enjoy your videos. Checking manually I see that you have been posting regularly but I don't think I've been notified even though I'm subbed and have notification on. I'll unsub/unnotify and resub renotify now to see if that gets me your videos in future. I've seen the same thing before on another wood working channel where I thought the lady just stopped making videos for a while because she moved house, but it turned out youtube was just being shit with the notifications. I love what you do. I'll be going back over your channel in the next week to see what I've been missing out on. Cheers dude!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

@@TheTotalGeek Oh weird! Yeah I've been posting quite regularly for the past few years but I keep getting similar comments from people even though I haven't had long hair for quite some time.

Hey Phil, my dad told be that you grew up in barre and I live in ryegate, my grandparents live in Groton, and my grandma works at community bank in barre. I was wondering if you knew my dad, Brian Page. My grandpa is the police chief in saint jay. I ride at green woodlands by warren, NH and I really want to ride Cady hill in Stowe. If you could maybe contact me or my dad we can maybe ride someday

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I think maybe there was a miss understanding. I did go to school in montpelier for a few years, but I didn't grow up in barre. My friends did have a house in barre at which we'd hang out though :)

Thank for clarifying
