  • Opening Weekend at Bolton Valley Bike Park in Vermont. This is still one of my favorite places to ride. Being opening weekend, and after a series of rainstorms only expert and intermediate terrain was open which made for some spicy fun. Additionally a surprise thunderstorm in the area, shut the lift down and cut our day short.

    If you saw this videos earlier this morning you aren't crazy. I exported the video in 1080 instead of 4K. So i had to reupload the video.

      I originally unlisted the original videos to keep the comments. I hoped that it wouldn't show up in peoples feeds but it was still some how getting more traction that this upload so i just made it private. But doing so that deleted any comments.

    Aside from the sketchy traction, I always feel like my drive train is getting eaten up by mud in wet conditions. Maybe someday gearboxes will be good enough to replace gears open to the elements

      The part that makes Whistler interesting is that its such a universally recognized bike park. It's fun to see how different riders get along with familiar (to the audience) terrain. But otherwise yeah the novelty of it has warn off so it won't be ground breaking, riding there is still good for the soul :)

    Im just watching at 9:50pm 6/14… and I’m a bit nauseated with what seems like the GoPro setting.
    Could this be what you uploaded again with?
    Granted, I’m only 3:50 in, but I’m just not feeling this setting, or something. 🤷🏼‍♂️
    It has a fisheye effect that’s weird.

    Phil, I was under the impression that riding trails in those conditions damages them. What are your thoughts on that?

    • @SkillsWithPhil
      @SkillsWithPhil  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

      This is at a bike park, there's a paid trail crew maintaining the trails. Our public trails are closed in those conditions. But it also depends on the geography, some soil compositions hold up better in the wet

    • @erictrelz3519
      @erictrelz3519 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I understand it is a bike park that you pay to ride which helps pay crews to repair the trails. The same can be said for State and County Parks. Taxpayer revenue is earmarked for crews to maintain those parks. In my opinion that does not mean it is okay to knowingly cause damage to trails. I don’t like to see riders sliding, spraying dirt in the air or leaving skid marks. Same goes for overly wet conditions. The ruts left can cause crashes if they are not immediately repaired.

    • @SkillsWithPhil
      @SkillsWithPhil  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

      I understand your view point and appreciate the respect you have for trails. There's a big distinction between a public trails which is funding by taxes, donations and volunteers hours and a private business that charges for access and turns a profit. To be clear I'm not a huge fan of purposely doing unnecessary damage, but wear and tear is normal and bike parks will close trails that are more susceptible to damage.
      To be clear, I'm also a trail builder myself. I have built public and private mountain bike trails.
