Racing An Enduro Without Any Training
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- Can I hang with some of the top US enduro MTB racers without doing any training beforehand? I used to race Downhill MTB professionally, but these days I spend more time making Mountain Bike Tutorials and sitting behind a computer. I've done one Enduro race several years ago on a bike that wasn't suited for it, it didn't go well. Now that I have the right bike, maybe things will go better?

Alright I'm curious, what part of this video was your favorite part? Leave a comment with a timestamp and a quick note!! :)
Skills With Phil the last part when you say « bye bye bloubloublou » was rad Hahahaha !!! It was all good man, it takes time to be good at enduroing, I’m still trying to figure it out Hahahah 😉.
Haha, I was not expecting that to be nominated! I hope this puts how much worth you have to put in if you want to do well in enduro. It’s no joke!
Definitely you wiping out! Not something we see much from you! Reminds us your human too!
Every part was awesome I dont know if I could choose! Your videos are just so good!👍👍
Ay the transition around 6:25 was pretty good, I like that shit.
That's the most legendary train I have ever seen
It really is.
It's rare to get the best Slopestyle rider, the best Downhill rider in one train, now add legends like Cam, Kirt, Tahnee, Ethan and it's rather insane.
Skills With Phil bet you can’t name them all 😅😉
"I;m going to go at 80% pace to not put myself in a hurt locker"
Dude, your 80% is like twice as fast as my 100%!
Twice? Try 5 times faster.
@@Bimmerboy353 Fair, and probably correct!
@@ChuckFickens1972 ^^
twice as fast as my 1000% pace.
Dude, Phil is a BEAST
unpopular opinion: one of my favorite parts of phils videos are the random creeks or odd suspension sounds on his bike because they sound like my bike and make me feel like im there
I feel like one of the best parts of skills with Phil's videos is the noises he makes on jumps haha
I hear everybody doing that now go to Highland Park every person hitting the jumps makes that noise,(my self included).it's the full skills with Phil human air siren.
yeww!
Mines more of a wahoo!!!!!
Thanks for posting videos like this they help me work on looking ahead instead of looking at the ground
Some bad ass gaps at the beginning!
Thanks Remy! Though, we all know you'd probably do the same!
This vid really gives us perspective on how fast the top pros really are lol
Phil is the god of blind Hucks
Dude! You got 15th overall! Without any prep? No endurance training? Imagine what you could do with the proper training.
@@BikingWIthPanda why are you looking at the comments mid-video?
Phil’s already an insane rider so I went into this thinking this video was a no brainer🤷♀️
Fitness is and training is way more important in Enduro than downhill. The flatter the courses the harder you have to work and lots of those guys spend a lot of time training for sustained power, which I don't do. I've done some in the past, but it's not fun and it made me not enjoy riding.
@@SkillsWithPhil i agree. With Downhill gravity takes over where u hardly do any pedaling. When riding on flat surfaces i would think u would get out of breath faster. By the way how would u train for enduro racing n downhill?
0:30 dude you're crazy af
My thought exactly
good lord! that shit was wild!
chwkam 😳
“That could’ve gone bad” 😬
Good gravy!
That was the craziest shit i've seen in a while, good lawd
I saw you in that new GT ad and got so excited, like “that’s my man making moves!” Big congrats Phil
Two things, I feel like I'm riding better just watching Phil ride, and it feels like i'm in a video game sometimes. Thanks Phil I am really enjoying your channel. Im planning my first trip to a downhill park this month, either Highland (5 hours away) or Mountain creek (2.5 hours away).
I love so very very very much that you basically dont edit your actual driving footage. It makes it such a smooooooth watch, probably as smooth as your driving skills.
thanks phill! you and seths bike hacks got me into mtb, and now i cant stop! lol.
keep it up!
Rode summit yesterday and I couldn't stop thinking about your videos.
It's a really cool place, but I wish there were a few more trails on the mountain. Still plenty enjoyable. I've heard Skypark is worth checking out, but I didn't have the time.
So stoked to make it in the ending clip of your video! Great riding btw, that train was insane!
hey michaelll
pretty cool to watch on my local trails, hope they do this again next year!
Your seriously becoming one of my favorite riders, you have awesome skills buddy
Aww! Thanks dude, I appreciate that.
Not normally a fan of videos this long but your recent content had been very entertaining in long-form. Thanks for sharing!
You got major air right before going down 820ish. I was noticing the consistent hang time. Good stuff man.
Good stuff man. Definitely my favorite part starts at 8:10. Big air, laughs, harmless crashes...lost glove! So good. It was rad to meet you out there Phil and great to cheer you on! _Yeah Phil!_
My heart skipped a beat @23:50 thought you were going full force into that tree! You're a boss!
The best part is the whole dang thang man!! All glorious 30 minutes! Thanks for the sick edit!
Sweet Video looks like a good time you guys (phil ,Seth, Singletrack sampler, Jordan Boostmaster,Paul the punter, BKXC, Daily mtb rider, crashing dad, biking with bobo, ect.)are awesome .keep making these videos and I'll gladly keep watching, got me wanting to get a mtb of my own hopefully I'll be able to get one this winter
Super awesome seeing you compete again!
Definitely the pro-train. So much going on. Race footage, in general, is not as interesting because there's typically no tricks and less dialogue. Great vid as usual!
all of it was rad bro, poppin up from that crash was lit too
When are you going to fix the creeking in your bike
So glad i found your channel! I'm totally addicted to watching you ride. Your videos are great and inspiring. You seem like a good guy too! Look forward to meeting ya one day!
The sound of all the bikes freewheeling is one of the most satisfying things i have ever heard
I come back to this vid about twice a year. The train starting at 6:40 is one of my all time favorite vids. 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾
Phill this the best freaking channel hands down!!!
Phil and his Skillz beat so many pros in this race. Nice work!
I’m 62 and just stated Down Hill Mountain Biking. When I grow up, I want to ride as good as you Phil.🤙🏻 😄
That train was insane. Awesome riding and video as usual.
Great video all around. Best part was you essie with us at the end. Well played.
Great vid! Thanks, Phil. Best parts: Enduro race sections. I like the whole vid, but I think you're the only pro racer I subscribe to, so your actual race sections are unique content to me. It would be great if you gave some of your strategy ahead of time so we can armchair quarterback and second guess every line you take. Haha. Kidding.
-Skills to pay the Phil- what a legendary train! Neat to see everyone’s different riding styles!
Dude I winced several times watching you on stage 3, you shred hard!! Amazing
I would have died with this pace. Respect dude!🤟🏼and greetings from Germany
Party Train at 8:00 was my favorite. I thought you were blazing down the endro tracks. The last stage, I watched it 2x, and I don't know how you could shave 4 seconds off,.... line choices I guess? Anyway, great stuff. thank you!
TH-camr keeps up with top Pro US enduro racers. Amazing Phil!
its been a while since i´ve seen so much sketchy riding. This Train was awesome"!
I just love that train u guys did, it look like it was alot of fun. And u seem like a cool guy to ride with. Im a newbie at the sport, just got my first mountain bike 3 years ago(a Marlin 7 by Trek).
This Cody Kelly dude is badass. Great video, Phil!!!
I think your channel should be renamed to “Phil has Skills”.
Phil's gnarly skills
Love watching you ride with the big dogs that was quite the party train
29:24 Wtf is going on? ahah
Good video Phil! Keep it up
Ya brain fart hahaa. We all have them sometimes
At the end did he really say smash that unsubscribe button. XD Love the humor Phil
As always... it is fricken awesome to watch you shred. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Did you ever find the reason for the metallic rattle in the last video??
It literally just kind of disappeared without any intervention. Maybe my bike had altitude sickness?
Skills With Phil A guy commented in the previous video that his GT Force had the exact same problem. The issue was a lack of grease in the bearings.
If you freshly greased and assembled anything on your bike it takes a bit for the grease to get to temp and spread out. Once it does that it gives you the self fix noise be gone.
Insane! So impressive to match up with these guys! Nice work!
Your so good at biking.... and your videos are just as good
That train looked nuts! Not sure how you lost your glove, but kudos for jumping straight back on, dude. 🤘
That glove falling off on the fall was total deja vu 😂
@ 30 sec. I don't think anyone has ever gapped those berms on Turtle 🤩🤩🤩 awesome!
ol Phil a2 10:48 nearly overcooks the landing.... love your skills Phil
I think your bike has wings some timea Phil.
PHILL!!! WTF!!! I am 33 seconds into the video and I see you just jumping from one berm to the next like nothing! They seem huge and undo-able and here you go 33 seconds later and kill it? I'm telling you, you must be from another kind of human race or something... I am in awe... my brain just went PUFF!
Just found your channel... Im into sprint car circle track racing.. they drive just under out of control........finally found another sport that does the same..... holy crap. and fav spot 6:50 to 13:37... group tandem ride
Very obvious that you didn't have the fitness of those guys by how much you jumped up in the placing on the shortest stage....6th. The less pedaling required, the better you placed on that stage from what I could tell.
This should show some people CLEARLY what it would be like if Phil lined up against the other most popular non-Pro TH-camrs at the EWS 100. He was out there in Cali, riding Pro, and was inside the top 20 with zero training. VERY hard to do, and mad respect for that showing!
im a simple person, when there's new Skills with Phil video i immediately press the like button! haha!
I don't have anything to say,
Because this video made my day!
Can’t believe what I just watched. That train was bonkers. Great vid thanks for posting. Mountain biking - I’m doing it wrong.
Phil, you pro yourself! Big time!
I think you meant subscribe at the end not unsubscribe lol. Awesome riding btw you are one hell of a rider.
I was being tongue and cheek, everybody says to subscribe and that can get tiring.
You are one of my favourite TH-camr’s
holy mega... crazy downhill fox train!
You got 15th place in a group of riders who trained a lot more than you did! Put in some training and I bet you would get and even better result! Good work Phil!
DAM You jumped into the "The Money Berms" Segment.
Was that what they were called?
I live up in Big Bear and I didn’t even know that😂😂😂
@@SkillsWithPhil Yes, according to Strava.
Wow, 0:28 looks like a great shortcut at first--and one that several other people have taken--but kinda falls apart towards the end, lol...
Also, incredible that a low-side wipe-out somehow managed to yank the glove off of your right hand! D-:
Also also, 6th on one stage! I would be stoked with that, but maybe that's because I've never competed in any sort of bike race.
enjoy your videos, also enjoy seeing you ride at highland. I've learned alot from your videos bro. thank you
Love watching you ride phil
Phil when will you have videos on skills and technique again. Would love to see more vids on proper drop technique. Love the channel keep it up.
that train was amazing, your riding was great as well.
SHeeeeeuttttt. Great riding! Love your energy Phil!
I know this might be dumb but I really enjoyed the entire video! I vote Phil the best TH-camr out there🤘
Flying Phil! Wow! You are amazing. Can't wait to see next video. 👍😎
Phil you're the shreddiest shredder of all the shreds.
In the entire herd of Shreddies.
DUDe, You have got to get some clipless peddals. OMG, You did that good in platforms.
One of my favorite videos!
Hey Phil how were those dusty snot rockets at the end of that party lap!? hahaha this looked so fun!
Phil floats. Goes so much deeper than the other guys!
It’s like someone told him the landing had nails on em lol.
Another decent length video! Nice one dude, it's great to see you uploading more frequently again. As we say here in the uk, nice one mush :)
Where are you from in the UK. I've never heard that one before
@@benasquith26 Oxford, but worked with londoners who say it alot. Either that or mucka.
Oh right I'm from Shropshire. Didn't think Oxford had great MTB trails. Does it?
7:40 that train was sick.
I would love to see a side by side of Phil and the fastest pro, hard to imagine those time differences since Phil is already going crazy fast
I've watched one of Phils vid and was amazed. I watched another one and was again amazed. After some more I noticed that he do well know when pro Riders (as him), are somewhere where he can join them for a ride - then he acts like "a simple rider" when he gets first contact - and while riding, he starts to push them an adding some extra little "jumps, wheelies, manuals* while riding, also he does such sounds like *hihi" to let it shine like a easy funny ride. Well, you are so talented, and somehow it looks to me like you have to show that you are "better as" - why? You are a kind guy, I like your vids and your skills - that part just let it look a bit "strange" - ?? In another video where Phil rides with anoter pro-rider a double black diamond line, Phil slips of on a flat section and the pro uses that opportunitiy to do a little remark " he asks Phil for his name, and what day it is and where they are*, and then he says that they did the hard lines without any crash, but now Phil goes to ground on a flat section - and Phil did not like that at all, he did a strange "cut out" on that video and talked in a way that its hard to understand him arguying over that questioning from the pro" - Narzistic or ADHD in a light way, or whats is the reason for all that "comparision with pro's", since you are a pro you self? How ever, good rides :-)
Last remark, he do well know the most trails where he rides with those pro's "coincidently". He knows the trails better than many others, the titles of the videos already show a bit of what I mean "riding on a single crown with pro's, riding on a enduro bike dowhnill, riding without training a race with pro's" since you are able to ride those crazy hard lines, what's the clue?" - btw, they look to still better than you.
The party train was awesome 🤙🚵♂️
That outro was interesting
"I saw that on the chair-lift"... and then sends a pretty considerable berm gap blind... balls like spacehoppers!
This video makes me miss people. Just goofing around with a bunch of friends
cool you got to ride with Cody!
"If you lose to a You Tuber your contract is over."
He was referencing their social media filmer that was riding with them, not Phil
Rekt
those endure tracks seem very hard to see/follow?? good work phil. :-)
When I grow up I want to ride the train...until then I'll just watch haha
Just throw in a little log ride.. and some fun manuals.. Favorite parts!! Looks like everyone was just holding you up, time for time I think you'd be #1 at least the full downhill runs.
That party train got pretty competitive. Looks like you'd be okay keeping up with that crowd.
If you liked that, watch this one with Phil and some pro's a few weeks ago at Whistler

Phil you’re a monster. When you have a chance come check highbridge park in NYC you missed it last time.
