These Canadian Trails Are Absolutely Next Level!! 👌 Powell River BC

[@BuckeyeMCS]

The iPhone in front of the face reminds me of Ricky Bobby's struggle with the Fig Newtons advertisement on his windshield. Great video as always Phil!

[@yoavmiller216]

Your abilty of quick-twitch recovery, after full risk blind jumps in to the abyss, is mind blowing.

[@Wizzdrop]

couldn’t agree more

[@JordanBoostmaster]

those trails actually look amazing! I have to get out there

[@Drforce2311]

It looks amazing. You gotta film your first time hitting it. I’d love to watch it.

[@harpertaplin2008]

Have to take the 300mm boostmaster on them!

[@TheDonkDonk420]

you can always count on a Skills with Phil video being great

[@winstonlengert4696]

Indeed!

[@mortenmacpherson136]

Yes

[@Roadmannerism-cc]

Great, now lets get him a pump & co2!

[@rpungello]

Phil: I don’t think you can gap that, it’d be sketchy Also Phil: immediately gaps it

[@gerrygadget]

This one was pretty high on the Phil giggle-o-meter, must have been a lot of fun!

[@davidthebiker2955]

Phil's channel is one of the few that I hit the like button before I even watch the video.

[@junkandcrapamen]

It's like riding a speeder through the forests of Endor.

[@Graeleaf]

That looks like a crazy fun place! I couldn't even see the trail, most of the time! Great video! 🤘

[@gearbox1858]

Canada loves having Phil hang out. Stay as long as you want 👍

[@ktvlm3987]

holy crap! whatta zone! whatta trail! whatta video!! stoked you hit the teeter-totter!

[@henryleydon2775]

phil is exactly the kind of biker to ask a feature what it wants to be when it grows up and then completely ignore it and do whatever he wants with it

[@MichaelRei99]

I’m just amazed how you traversed those trails at speed. I would be so afraid of smashing into a tree . You’re true pro Phil!

[@davecroucher6063]

Although I live near the north shore and all the cool areas around I am ALWAYS AMAZED how you follow the correct line at blazing speed!!! I know I'd take the "NONLINE" and cartwheel off a cliff or into a tree!!!

[@jakobmarshall720]

im soo happy to see this video as someone who lives in powell river im soo happy you where able to enjoy mount mahony and all the trails since you where here last mount mahony has got a lot more trails added to the mountain and a new parking lot with a trials area it would begrat to see you back in powell river anytime 😄 also watching your videos are always a great time to watch after a good ride

[@codycbanks]

The energy here gives me a sanctuary vibe

[@factoryrollracing3847]

This is such impressive warp speed. When it looks this steep and gnarly on video it must be nuts. Also Phil, I'm watching the channel for the first time in a while. I noticed your speech is really clear! I'm not sure if this is something you had to work on, but this is a great improvement and cool video. Congrats!

[@1Life_FITS]

Then noises you make when excited take me back to my local trails in milliseconds 👊🤠👍🔥💯

[@callumcarscadden4865]

Awesome videos from BC, you're always welcome in Canada Phil!

[@OutsiderNick]

This looks absolutely bonkers! So awesome to see these trails shredded!

[@joshdoesjoshstuff660]

one of the best mtb videos of 2022 right here, Phil. Well done.

[@James-dy5tf]

Hey Phil, you ever have any strange encounters while Biking out in the middle of the woods? That would make for a cool video topic. Keep making awesome videos man!

[@carternichol7258]

I live on the Sunshine Coast right beside Powell river

[@MilanGP]

What a great idea let’s like this to oblivion and do what it takes to get Phil to see this and do it.

[@HonkeyKong54]

Grizzly bears lurking in BC. You do not want to run into one mountain biking the trails.

[@Zopf-international]

The noise of rubber on slats. Always in my heart.

[@curtvaughan2836]

Always cheers me up to watch your videos. Great bike handling on challenging and interesting trails and parks, and with fun and enjoyment as the main motivations. Video quality is very good.

[@MrXxkennedyxX]

so glad Bc is my home.. i can go 15 minutes in any direction and always find something new to ride

[@felixtherien3813]

Probably the best video on your channel!

[@MrDougschannel]

Gorgeous ride! One of my favorite SWP videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@flux88]

This might be the best trail I’ve EVER seen. WOW. Thanks for this I love it

[@3chaserrrr]

I would like to see you go on a ride with Remy Metalier...that would make a great video 👌

[@anem3218]

absolutely gorgeous view, insane spot to put a sick trail system!

[@MiltIV84]

You are an absolute animal. I can't fathom how you rip through these places blind. I have also learned when phil starts laughing things are getting sketchy LOL

[@Strat94able]

Looks like great trails and awesome people. Please more from BC with these guys.

[@noel_jug]

They really do know!

[@kelownatrails7842]

Hey Phil, I can’t get over how smooth your bike goes over the trail. great video..

[@Wi11duhbea5t]

Phil those trails looked insane and what’s even better good company. Great videos

[@bikingwithryan5968]

Vermont is great but these trails just look like steps above trails around here. So good!

[@CP-qx2ff]

the last few videos from Vancouver Island have all been super good in every aspect.

[@stumpy25lbs]

You should meet up with Remy, Phil!! You too would be awesome to watch shredding together 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@maxgreene5632]

hey Phil love your videos and just wanted to say you were one of the people that first got me into mountain bikeing and now i am racing I guess i just wanted say thanks😁

[@prospect8696]

This guy is insane, he makes it look so easy.

[@dyllanf211]

this is my home town phil! so cool too see you ride there.

[@hobmarg]

Wow there's some awesome looking riding in Powell River. I had only known about the flatter XC stuff closer to town, Mt Mahony looks awesome, will have to get back up there.

[@artofdisguy3401]

Mad riding Phil and gang, 👍👍

[@lannonan]

I'd love to see you do a rebuild video for maintenance

[@BenBike]

Me too

[@hardtailhero3667]

“That’s how you can tell you have SRAM brakes” 😂 YES DUDE

[@TheRotundRider]

This was such a FUN video! I'm already loving the recent videos as a BC boy, but this was just beyond in how fun it was. Also a huge thank you for adding in the various geographical contexts as well. Any plans to come to Kamloops or any of the interior sites?

[@denislitisha7136]

Glad you’re enjoying my daily playground.

[@martinrupp3919]

So much fun to watch!!!

[@ricwilson6612]

When Phil starts to giggle, I know I will never be able to ride that. :-)

[@celestialdive2899]

any trail Phil shreds is his favorite ever.

[@kevinpeters8372]

What a set of trails. Must have been amazing out there. Nice riding bro🤘🏻

[@mattc4735]

These BC videos have been amazing. Glad you get to check out my home province!

[@ryangavilan7638]

I can’t stop watching how epic these trails are and I live here (BC) 😃

[@DrtyALGreen]

Phil you're right about people gravitating towards MTB after other bike sports. I've been a moto guy my whole life, I went to Snowshoe last year to watch the races and ride the next day with my brother who was working there at the time. I had so much fun that day, didn't crash, caught a little air, epic. After just one time I would gladly sell my dirt bikes to get into MTBing if I had a closer trails. Unfortunately I'm in Central TN now and all the spots are several hours east. That's really the only thing stopping me from going all in.

[@geronimo9595]

watching this from my place in powell river.. yep... .. yep.... there's a reason i moved here. thanks for the reminder

[@SkillsWithPhil]

You chose wisely! Very cool place, and you have some great builders

[@geronimo9595]

@@SkillsWithPhil the biking community is really strong here. there are guys who literally spend 4 or 5 days a week trail building - shout out to the chain gang!

[@deisen123]

This BC content is so good. More please!

[@taylorcaudil8058]

definitely gotta make your way to silver mountain bike park, and beacon hill in Spokane Washington!

[@darius4905]

Amazing trails and beautiful riding as always. Great video Phil!❤

[@drips8968]

I'm a local here on Vancouver island and would recommend heading over to the jordie lunn bike park. They just opened 4 new trails

[@art3mis107]

love these videos, i love riding bikes around the city for hours but i don't know if i would ever be able to drive such trails

[@theonlyDougBlack]

Thanks so much for the after work recovery video!

[@stevenkilleen8149]

I am still learning to trust traction and through the bike into turn great at rollers jumps but def my weakness ur so fast so cool too watch

[@Jer0da0sniper]

Phil rides trails faster on his first time than locals on their 50th. Just incredible to see his skills

[@Nik_MTB2024]

Cant believe that I’ve lived in Powell river for 2 years and still haven’t gone here. Looks super fun Edit: I popped my tire on the climb to faries

[@sergiolandz6056]

some nice trail work in there !

[@nattytambam]

Incredible trails!!

[@4KMTBRider]

Those trails really good fun! Awesome video as always 😁

[@andyhill7794]

That looks incredible!!

[@ptk421]

Shaming the SRAMs, but having just done a complete refresh on my bike and my wife's bike - the Shimanos are the ones that were cranky about me not being surgical with the rebuild...

[@hennesseymtb500]

Place looks so fun!! Nice video Phil!

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

Loving these videos from BC! Would love to see some follow cam of Phil if that's even possible 😂

[@leonerickson4652]

Some of those wood features look sick

[@glentot9243]

17:08 good guy phil patting own tire ruts

[@MTBQC]

All right, you just confirmed my next destination. Thanks!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Its a really cool ride, way different from the stuff out here on the east.

[@MTBQC]

@@SkillsWithPhil Sure looks like it! Thanks for sharing.

[@iangrumpypirate568donovan3]

The sniper puddle at the end. 😂 Surrey hills in the uk has loads.

[@dawsondermatas13]

Yay Phil’s in Canada!

[@Drforce2311]

That hip is wild!

[@Rube7tube7]

I absolutely love ur laugh!

[@I_Am_Bone]

Watching this took me straight back to Endor and the speeder bike chase scenes..... LOL

[@DaveBroTube]

Banger trails! I spend time in Cumberland most years, and keep meaning to get over to PR. Now I'm even more motivated! Could someone please list the trails ridden in this video? Would be useful for those of us planning to visit.

[@mikevanhees6622]

Ferries wear boots Original gangster

[@rossc3447]

Powell River, half of the fun is just getting there with all the ferries you have to take and the fantastic scenery along the way. You gotta love BC

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Totally agree with you on that!

[@MoOutdoorsandReviews]

great video, those trails look next level

[@balazsgalambos4458]

Class trails,epic video as always,some shredding dude,thx for sharing. Next level quality. Good to see the Rossignol in action,wondering how it holds up?

[@jay-effmichaud]

Phil 2 minutes after coming back East.. Honey the house is now for sale! We are moving to Canadia hey!

[@cyrania243]

I think a really cool thing you could do, just to get out of your comfort zone, do one of those big endurance gravel races. I think it would be very interesting to see how you fare!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

While that could be interesting, i don't think I'd find much enjoyment in that. For what it's worth, I've done a few cyclocross races in the past. Those were fun ish, but man it's not my cup of tea. I have tried to enjoy the endurance and cardio aspect of riding for years but I think it's safe to say i just don't like it nearly as much as others do.

[@cyrania243]

@@SkillsWithPhil that’s fair, the skillsets are entirely different, and I can see why endurance rides would not be at all fun, they are a tiring slog after all!

[@Loam_Patrol]

I have been here. I also road the same trails as Phil. These trails are amazing

[@pangasinancycloholics4994]

you made it look so easy. 🔥

[@SoGoMTB]

Thanks for sharing bro!

[@scorpiolyfeofdre13]

i like your transition on 12:29 to 12:30 did you plan that or was it something you stumbled on while editing?

[@SkillsWithPhil]

It wasn't planned while filming but I noticed the similarities while editing so i took advantage of it :)

[@scorpiolyfeofdre13]

@@SkillsWithPhil you are awesome amigo your videos make me happy and inspire me thank you for replying 🥃🙏🏿

[@Drforce2311]

I had to go back to look. It is very good. Nice editing!

[@louhudec9030]

I live on the coast and I would definitely recommend riding BNK it’s in roberts creek and has some of the best trails on the coast

[@EoinCondon]

The comedic timing, intentional or not, at 5:09 is absolutely hilarious

[@therandommountainbikers9935]

If your on the Sunshine Coast you have to ride Roberts creek and coast gravity park!

[@evanforst7272]

I have been to powell river but i couldnt bring my bike, guess i gotta get back there soon

[@albertsmith6717]

That's some awesome downhill single track. Maybe one day if I could make it to the west coast.

[@kirrilymtb]

Most of my family lives in Canada, but unfortunately we live in Australia and it’s a long ways to go, but I think I’m going there to ride in September so hopefully it’s epic

[@brickbeast2969]

I live there! Such a great town!

[@AlaskaMTB_raw]

What changed Phil??? The GoPro effect really wasn’t there in this vid! Any new settings?

[@MancunianManxman]

Those giggles hahaha

phil doing it with ease, me screaming the hole way
