Trail Preview | Upper and Lower PHD | Pemberton, Canada

PHD is a world famous double black trail located 10km south of Pemberton (20km North of Whistler).
To lead me down this trail, who better than 2 Times National Champion of Downhill, Matt Beer?
This trail is a must ride in the Sea to Sky Area. It can be shuttled, but by respect for the trail I advice you to pedal to it. It’s about 1.5 hours of pedaling at slow pace.
Be aware of the risks, there is not much around, not many riders ride this trail. Go in a group. All the trail information right here: www.trailforks.com/trails/phd... and www.trailforks.com/trails/phd/
If you enjoyed this trail and want to ride it, I advice you to join the Pemberton Off Road Cycling Association: www.porcabikes.com
Thanks a lot to the trail builders for the work!

[@JordanBoostmaster]

what an amazing trail! I hope to check that out sometime

[@remymetailler]

Jordan Boostmaster thanks! Super fun for sure. Worth the pedal.

[@alexvanneste6259]

Thanks for posting Remy! I'm loving this stuff!

[@onsight2822]

Loving the vids 😎 Can’t wait for more 👍 Keep shredding dude 🤘

[@middleagedmediocremountain4767]

Awesome riding...inspiring! Beyond my pay grade but so fun to watch.

[@scblurlt1962]

great video , and appreciate the intro with climbing time etc nice to know this stuff

[@reverendharri6141]

Nice work 👍 your videos are just getting better and better, I loved your trip to Utah

[@remymetailler]

Reverend Harri thanks a lot! Putting the work in! Wait till the next ones!

[@reverendharri6141]

Rémy Métailler I will

[@kasparondrej2938]

Thumbs up for the ride and garbage collecting!

[@remymetailler]

Kašpar Ondřej thanks. I wish I did not have to pick up garbage. Everyone should do it, especially when it's at the bottom, close to the car.

[@nomadlyrick]

Legend has it this trail was built by one guy over 8 years. Well, that was according to our guide in 2012. Rode this twice. So much fun.

[@remymetailler]

Stuart Thompson wow crazy I did not know that!

[@hobbes8737]

Not true , maybe a few years . PhD is the builders initials , first name phil . I built diesel wolf by myself , which is beside PhD.

[@TeamGambleBMX]

Very enjoyable looking track. Just one more reason i need to make the trek to your hemisphere!

[@deisen123]

Not sure what was more sick, the trail or the riders. Matt Beer is amazing. Hope he's in some more of your vids.

[@remymetailler]

Daniel Eisen yes he is! We have another one I will release later on

[@ryandouglas4553]

Great video featuring such smooth lines on gnarly terrain. It would be cool when introducing guest riders to do a 1 minute overview of the bike and gear they ride with, so us mortals get a sense of what the top guys ride. Keep up the great content.

[@remymetailler]

Ryan Douglas thanks for the feedback. That will be a great idea but it can conflict a lot with my own sponsors... and it can cause me some issues.

[@nineninety999]

Nice video 🤟🤙

[@evanlee2168]

Insane!

[@michaeledwards5241]

Fantastic 🤘

Jack the Ripper in Pemberton, Zanarchy/Gargamel in Whistler, Larvicide in Squamish... loving this series.

[@remymetailler]

hobmarg thanks! I m gonna be away for the next two weeks so I will do similar video while I'm away but before I leave I planned to film one of the trail you mentioned above..

[@jackspicer3470]

Sick video! I want to see Whistler Valley trails such as Dark Crystal. Heading up to Whistler at the end of the week, stoked to ride some of these trails in person.

[@remymetailler]

Jack Spicer Nice I will!

[@Creepybusguy]

I second the dark crystal vote.

[@benhenmtb4013]

It’s scary as hell in the wet.

[@hobbes8737]

Some lines are not rideable in the wet .

[@craigsteele8178]

Sick!!...

[@allenkvextreme]

*i only subscribe to 4K MTB video creators but your videos are so interesting that i broke this rule this time*

[@remymetailler]

Thanks a lot! Does it actually make a difference if it is in 4k?

[@danielgrafik]

Bloody amazing riding!

[@remymetailler]

Not easy not knowing the trail! But I believe it's better for people so they can relate better.

[@danielgrafik]

@@remymetailler I think it's super inspirational, even though I'd never be able to ride something like that, that fast and that smooth. Love the content.

[@remymetailler]

@@danielgrafik Never say never. Someone told me I'll never be able to scrub or to go to Rampage.

[@danielgrafik]

@@remymetailler I guess that's the right attitude! Thank you!

[@bradmurphy8416]

Great edit length, love the Pemberton area. Maybe “Jack the Ripper “ next? Heard it’s quite difficult!!! Cheers!

[@remymetailler]

Brad Murphy good one!

[@MrBaker87]

I wouldn’t mind seeing JTR either or maybe a lap down Gravitron. Nice going on PHD, that upper section seemed a lot more gnarly in person that in your video however. Ha.

[@remymetailler]

Nicholas Baker what is JTR?

[@MrBaker87]

Rémy Métailler Jack the Ripper = JTR.

[@LacKona]

i need to move to Canada! :O

[@derekmann857]

Looks like The Paper Bag in Nelson Bc with all those trees down.

[@crandallcrute3918]

Remy - thanks for that vid - what video equipment are you using? The video and audio are awesome.

[@coastalzapper4840]

Remy, is it better financially for you if I watch the video through KZbin and not through Pinkbike? or does it matter

[@remymetailler]

Coastal Zapper thanks I appreciated that question. It does not matter I believe as Pinkbike just shares the KZbin video. As long as you tell your friends to watch it;)

[@remymetailler]

Cannondale2019 wait till Crankworx is here and then the blue becomes double blacks! PHD is a great trail. I believe it was made for trials bike at first.

Rémy Métailler tail whips and backflips meh. I’m old school Whistler Pemby rider.

[@bikecoboss]

@@remymetailler It was originally an MTB trail - Paulie H's Descent

[@evilrides2298]

c'est ta roue qui fait autant de bruit ?? sinon je kiff le style de video comme ca

[@remymetailler]

Evil Rides La gopro amplifie les bruits... ca peut etre les vibration ou les branches qui touchent.

[@raivkka4313]

Waiting for the day one of you videographers runs into a Grizzly!!! What denotes a double black diamond? Some DBD trails are absolutely un-rideable for intermediate riders but this one seemed ok.

[@samscheewe7652]

Raivkka it seemed ok because he’s a pro rider and because of the GoPro effect

[@captsnappy9220]

More likely a Black bear in Pemberton. Grizzlies are usually further north.

[@raivkka4313]

@@samscheewe7652 Ah! Been watching Yoann video's and that stuff is clearly un-rideable (for me!). From the northeast USA and I am so envious of the mtn biking out there!

[@remymetailler]

Capt Snappy hopefully they are further north..

[@remymetailler]

Raivkka to be honest most of the trail is ok but some sections are very loose or flow less which makes it challenging!

[@MTBzine]

How much further North is this from Gargamel?

[@remymetailler]

MTBzine about 15km

[@JC-zf6sx]

Both you and Yoann provide very entertaining commentary, all while riding so effortlessly. You guys’ pronunciation of the word, shit, makes me laugh.

[@remymetailler]

nathan wind thanks. Yoann is amazing at riding and talking. I definitely need some improvement but that was a first try for me.

[@JC-zf6sx]

Dude, you shred. There is so much mtb talent from France. A riding friend and I always talk about how good the French riders are. You, Yoann, and Amaury are so much fun to watch. Greetings from the states.

[@remymetailler]

nathan wind thanks a lot! Yes plenty of Talent in France. Don't forget 3 times World Champ Loic Bruni.
