- We rode the hardest features at Whistler Bike Park. As you know, Whistler Mountain Bike Park is the Largest Bike Park in the World. Whistler Mountain is home to the most challenging terrain open to the public I set out to find all these features and explain what exactly makes these features so challenging for Mountain Bikers.
Riders: Eric Porter, Blake Samson, Brendan Fairclough, Ben Deakin

Phil, you made these look easy! To everyone watching: they're a lot scarier than they look here!
Phil smashing DH lines on his enduro bike like it was nothing!
I was towed by Phil once at Thunder Mountain Bike Park and he is to say the least a DH racer with the grace of a dirt jumper, he could spot lines and gather pop from seemingly nowhere, he had the ability to float thru the trail on both dirt and in the air. I don't think he realizes how skilled he actually is.
Dirt Merchant is much bigger than I expected it to be. I watched a ton of videos, and the step up still made me nervous as I came into it.
I would have hit 7 trees within the first minute 🌲
They look pretty damn scary here...
That transition just made it look like those guys disappeared 16:11
No editing, they just used the wizarding skills a dissaperated right in front of me!😂
@@SkillsWithPhil That's why that part of the trail is scary...Ghosts!
That was the coolest transition I've ever seen
Reminds me Initial D :D
WTF glitch in the matrix
Americans: "Going to Whistler is my dream! But it is so far!"
Europeans: "Oh, really?"
Considering its a ~45-50hr non stop drive from my house on the east coast of the US, flying is the the best way to get there. Just the airport travel time from Burlington Vermont to Vancouver with one stop ranges from 7hrs to 20hrs and costs $800-1100. If I used the town i used to live France (Blagnac) the travel time ranges anyway from 13hrs to 24hrs and costs $600-1100. So yes, that's certainly a little better for Americans, whistler isn't exactly close for a lot of Americans either. Obviously if you live in a city with a direct flight like Pittsburgh PA or Charlotte NC things will be a bit easier.
@@SkillsWithPhil Ever since I moved away from Atlanta, GA I found it hard to get a decent nonstop flight to other countries for obvious reasons. I feel you
@@KookoCraft are you happy that you moved from atlanta though? i'm currently considering doing the same
@@SkillsWithPhil what were you doing in Blagnac?
@@manuabecassis I was 9 years old at the time, and my dad worked in the aerospace industry (but not for airbus). A little fun fact, the A380, was built on the land where I used to have BMX race practice.
After the “GoPro effect” I just discovered the “Phil effect”, make everything smoother and easier than real life 😅 nice video 🔥
Phil tapped that tree so hard it got a spot on SharkTank to get funding for its maple syrup startup.
Redding Shelby 😂😂😂
So specifically funny 😂
That turned out awesome, nice work Phil!! So much fun riding with you in Whistler, never have enough time there!!!
Phil: These guys are such hard hitters and ride so much faster than the people I normally ride with.
also Phil: Does a wheelie after a jump while everyone else doesn't
Imagine having Brendan Fairclough, ( or any of those riders ), as your tow-in on a run !! I'll just break my legs with a hammer and save time.
More like my collarbone but that’s just me lol
Footage ON POINT! Check. Riding is RIDICULOUS. Check. Edit is SICK. Check. This should IMMEDIATELY be at the top on Pinkbike for the Whistler recap videos. That's as good of a view of the trails as I've EVER seen at Whistler. I could see every feature you rode, nothing was blown out, and you were plenty close enough for me to see the riders in front when you when trailing someone. I sound like the ultimate fan boy when I watch your videos, but man...they're the best out there IMO. I love how you just casually ran into some shredders named "Tanner and his brother," and they were throwing style right up there with the likes of Fairclough!! That knack-knack was the best hit on the entire video! The fact that you just jump in with those top Pros, and ride right alongside them, solidifies that watching your videos is like watching the top Pro's ride what you're riding. There is absolutely a place for what so many other TH-camrs are doing out there, and no slight intended toward them, but I just so happen to love watching your videos the best, because you do things on a bike that I could never do, which makes it captivating POV.
The tree bonk? Really? Nope. That was insane at that speed and commitment. Not even sure how to quantify the risk and skill needed for that move, which was evidence by the dude behind you who was obviously extremely impressed as well.
I could watch this video over and over...it's that good, and lately it has been Whistler after Whistler video to the point of near boredom. Did you save this for last as a courtesy so everyone else would watch the others' videos first? :-) As far as I'm concerned, you saved the best for last! NAILED IT!
That's honestly the nicest comment I've gotten in a long time. Thank you Will, I'd love to see more comments like this. The footage I have for the next video is even more exciting!
Best part of the video was when the kid noticed you while in mid air on the hip jump. 😂
Phil I just can't get over how you can make crazy stuff look so smooooooooth!!! The roller at 6:37 was pretty sweet ;-)
It gave me chills in a good way when you tire tapped that tree and the guy behind you started laughing. That whole run was awesome and you mentioned it but the guy in front of you has such a sick riding style.
What a Fantastic Vid! and doing a couple of laps with the Bren Dog must have been amazing!
Sick video got some gnarly rock rolls for sure! Thanks for putting me in the video🤘
Phil and Jeff KW are the smoothest riders out here on the youtubes.
So awesome watching pretty much the best in the business all riding together!! Awesome video phill!! Cant wait to see more from you man🤘
Confidence , skills with Phil and plenty of riding its what it takes . Great video 🤘
So true dude!
Survivng the riding is key. I'm at almost 40 Whistler park days this season, and the number of riders who we've lost to injury this season has dropped our numbers significantly. It's not an easy sport, that's for sure.
The progression of your videos has been rad. Nice work dude.
Attack the trail. Don't be along for the ride.
Knew that but needed the reminder/mental note.
Great riding as always!
I swear Phil hums this music in his head while riding and it gives him extra confidence and flow.
"Warm up lap" killin me smalls. Phil - your content is awesome, keep up the good work.
Honestly, you are a great rider. I am amazed every time i watch a video of yours
3:46 DID YOU TAP A TREE???? jeeezus
You can see it in Ben Deakin's channel
Dude...that was such a great video...like one of the best I have seen even with the corrupt footy. That tree tap was insane!!!!
I really like this video, thank you. Anyone can ride the smooth man-made sections of any trail centre, but the more natural sections, and steep rocky bits, really do look like a massive challenge to your skills.
I am glad you are making videos again! Missed watching!
You were so fully matching bren dog, blake etc on that 'warm up' run and seemed to hit the hip way higher
Dude Phil! I love your videos! This has to be one of the coolest ones yet. I’ve seen all these trails so many times, but watching your perspective makes them even better! Also, what is up with the cliffhanger?? Haha hope you are good and can’t wait for the next one.
I love these vlog type videos!
Keep em comming
Woot! It's one of the grandfathers of slopestyle, THE Eric Porter! 💪🤙
Eric Porter is the easier person to quote. He's a legend.
@@SkillsWithPhil truly a legend. The dude have won in multiple disciplines if not practically everything in mtb! To win the national champs in dh and dual slalom at the same time fresh off college is unheard of. Too easy for Eric. 🤷♂️😂😂😂
Thanks guys, really appreciate the love!! 🤙🤙
glad phil does yt. top 3 mtb youtubers hands down. love the vids
Brendog, Blake Samson, Ben Deakins.
I'm legit jealous :D
Awesome riding!
Sick! Phil can still roll with the big boys! Great vid. I hope you do a race again
loving the little camera transitions you've done, some serious editing time and effort is obvious and it paid off! Sick ass video phil 👊🏼
That tire tap was NASTYYY, bet that got the HR up lol
The ride is good for sure but the edit on this video is amazing!! Good job!!
Ayeee a shred with Deaks and The Dog !! Love the colab 3 of my favourite riders Phil Brendog and Deaks!!
What a great episode! Thanks Phil ;)
sick lines and sick footage! amazing stuff!
Awesome video phil! Love the tech!
Blake in tha house!!! Awesome vid mate! 👊😀
Sick, such a great point that you and Eric shared (don’t be a passenger on your bike/ ride with an aggressive approach). Tamed a bit!! Cheers!!!
I must say your camera angle is spot on. The way you have it attached to the helmet has that chest mount gimbal feel but with a better pov angle than what you get from chest mount. Also great riding!
Unbelievable.... Such an awesome video!
Sick day 2 video! Thanks for sharing
Phil has such a fun style of riding to watch!
Whoa dude those narrow tree line at 4:50 is sweet... love how I can hear everyone's Ooooos and Ahhhha and giggles of joy!
Here comes Phil with Skills! You're the best! :)
Sweet riding. You make that look easy.
Great video and wonderful, cool music. Top stuff as usual, well done Phil. Ciao Gaetano
Thanks GR!
Always nailing those gnarly features!
Sick riding Phil!
You got so nice videos phil! And you are such a good rider!
My dude, you are every bit as good as who you were riding with. And your joy is infectious. Love your videos. I used to race Team Kuwahara way back in the 80's. You know. When the Table Top was the best jump hahahahaha Peace.
Riding with Brendan and Blake 👍 that’s one hell of a pair of teachers right there
You have some major skills! It's cool to see GMBN guys on here too
Just bought my first dh bike at 27. Been busy but looking forward to getting out and riding after watching your vids for 3 days straight.
Love ur videos. Keep them coming
Phill your the best man, so smooth! Cheers from Burke, VT!
Great video Phil. You really make these trails look easy lol. What pressures do you run in your suspension and tires? Do you have a video about your suspension setup on this bike?
Great video! I think the scariest part is how easy videos make this look and then you go try it in person before realizing you are in over your head
Glad you got my boy Dakotah Norton in there, use to ride BMX with him back in Michigan years ago. Really dope guy!
Dude, seriously!!! I love MTB riding, but, I crash so much like the clumsy bastard that I am. you make it look so easy and effortless! I'm gonna just keep watching your "skills vids" and praying to apply your knowledge to the trails.
Respect man 👊 Some of that stuff is utterly terrifying. Maybe in another lifetime for me...
I cant get enough Whistler, hope to some day get chance to ride there 🤙 Great vid like always 💎💎
Amazing trails and footage
Awesome video Phil
This is SICK Phil!
Can't wait tell the 2 and 3 video
Have not been to a bike park yet. Don’t like waiting in line. Looks like fun. Great video as usual.
Got a flat.
We're going anyway!
Yeww!
GT my fav brand = subbed
Your vids are the best Phil
Hanging with heavyweights bro🤘
Quality Content! I felt like I was watching a 40 min video
Old school GT colors. Nice 👍🤘🏾
Love your vids and your unique line choice. A thought for you, the sound of tires running on terrain is much better and more intriguing than any background music and I'd be more inclined to watch your vids because you've got skills! What kind of hip pack do you like? Peaz!
Loved this!!!
Sweet. I've been waiting on a video from Phil, cause Phil got skillz. Nobody rides like he does. Keep it up now that cooler temps are on their way.
It's always summer somewhere! 😉
That will always be true. I just prefer fall riding to the summer. Thanks for the reply and keep the awesome content streaming.
omg the Brendog follow-cam is soooooo good
WOW!
You hit some of those lines soooo fast! I know speed is your friend in chunk but damn, no place to regain control if it all goes south!
This video is super cool 👌🏻👌🏻
Damn dude, if it looks this gnarly on video, I can only imagine what it's like irl lol... You're a boss
Brendan fairclough! That guy is a sick rider!
Talk about heavy hitters, damn. What a crew.
I think the guy at 15:29 said “are you Phil?” Lol
Watching you ride is as satisfying as peeling a protective cover off a screen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rad! absolutely sending it! i can only dream of going there and riding like you XD
That tyre tap off the tree was mental!!!
3:38 over and over again. "Drools profusely".
Just insane!
wow, you really got SKILLS Phil ! great
You look so easy on a bike 😉, greetings from France btw 🔥🔥👊🔥🔥
Phil, love your videos!
How your bike can still alive after that omg.👍👍👍👍
Great vid.
So sick!
I want to see the follow cam of you doing that tree tap!
Nice cliffhanger at the end :D
Phil, you’re a pro, fo sho. 🤙🏼
That is some proper gnar.
