Yo thanks for the kind words my man; was so awesome to catch up and get out to ride again after so many years. Already looking forward to next time! 🤘 p.s. I still can't believe how fast you got down Paint It Black riding blind in the wet like that... 🤯
This video was awesome. I miss seeing Alexander’s videos and his riding has definitely improved. Phil, you hit that jump line so nicely it makes it look like you’re flying calmly through space. That slick terrain looked pretty sketchy too but y’all killed it! Keep up the good work!
Man Phil has been on absolute fire lately 🔥🔥🔥 His channel definitely leveled up in 2021. Seems happier and to be enjoying it more. This one was sick (Mountain Creek was great too).
I think the talent you demonstrate is quite breath-taking Phil. Wet, rooty, leafy, slippery, off-camber (all the things that make most of us slow down) and you are still flying down at phenomenal speed. So good to watch. Thanks
Phil - another great video of you pushing the stoke on everything you touch and we get Alex at the same time. The 2 for 1 deal. May I have another. Alex was putting on his own stoke. I love watching him rip the berms. Thanks for continuing to have an impact on so many of us.
I ALWAYS enjoy watching Phil ride so much, there's just something about his style that's beyond boss level. He makes it look effortless, fun and gnarly at the same time. A rolling paradox.. 🤙 But man oh man how sick it was to get some follow cam on the STS. Even though he mentioned being a bit dialed back he ride like an absolute ace in those slippery conditions. Popping like a bunny and throwing him fearlessly through tight turns 🤘
The skill you show off in this video is insane! I think it may be because I have ridden all of the trails in the video bu the fact u bombed paint it so fast in the wet blind is crazy. I remember sliding down the steep section of paint it on my but during the go nuts enduro there in august and you just shredded it!
"That's the feeling I crave, but I don't want it all the time." " you mean mean don't constantly want to be on the precipice of disaster" This exchange is the best mountain biking summery of all time.
I love some Kanuga! Great to see you guys enjoying it! I’m lucky enough to be able to do it as a day trip. Two of my riding buddies went today. Much more fun without the wet leaves
Dude, the wet leaf traction your managing to maintain is epic! Choosing a new tire: Enduro, Downhill, or the new Maxxis Phil tire - good for high speed descents in: wet, dry, rocky, mud, leaves, quicksand, molten lava, blue ice, zero gravity, and additionally, is impervious to any Harry Potter jinxes or curses! Keep doing what you do!
Looks great there Phil. Andrew has come SO far. Lots of thanks to Seth for it lol! Anyway, I'm real depressed. I crashed on "Gronk" back in July at Thunder Mtn in Mass. Doc says I need surgery to repair the ligaments I tore in my shoulder. I didn't realize until I couldn't ride anymore, just how much I've fallen in love with this sport. I was wearing my gear, my Bell Super-R saved my head for sure. I'm 49, but I grew up riding dirt bikes and bmx bikes as a kid and that desire never really went away. Then, Covid hit and America, (well, the world really) went silly buying bikes. I ended up spending around $4000 on a YT Jeffsy 27.5 and like I said, fell in love with it. I've met a ton of great guys already n have been hitting large drops and wanted to get into jumps again like when I was young...so yeah....bummer. Love your channel and content. Been watching you for a couple of years. Maybe I'll meet you someday and you can sign my bike hahaahaaa.
Yewwwww!! Those trails look super fun! Would love to see those on dry day with no leaves. ... Stop by Allaire when you make your way back north, there's some super fun new lines on the "east side". Would love to session with you!🤙
You ever venture West a little bit and hit up White Clay or Brandywine? Been to Allaire a few times. Remember there being a lotta sand and it was real flat, but it's a big place and I probably missed some spots.
So cool to see you riding the same trails I rode a couple months ago (although much better lol). I crashed where Alex had trouble on Paint it Black - its tough. Also appreciate seeing you clear the stick off the trail - makes it better for the rest of us.
You may want to check out the new San Lee Gravity Park at some point. It reopens today, and apparently the builders did a really nice job on the advanced trails. Not tamed down like everyone expected.
Wild. I went to school at tc Roberson and AB Tech and grew up in Hendersonville. Wish I would’ve got into mountain biking when I lived there before joining the army
Keep in mind this is when i was ~17 and Richie was a few years younger than me. We knew back then he had the potential to be one of the best riders, we just thought it'd be downhill racing. Enduro wasn't even a discipline at this time!
Kanuga rocks. Some of the best shaped jumps in the game. Been there a couple times when it’s dry but I’d imagine wet leaves and slick hard pack clay make for a white knuckle experience. We followed a group down Paint it Black and one of them ended up in the trees after that first drop. Believe he broke his leg but we didn’t stick around to find out. Sick ride nonetheless.
Yeah sucks having to pedal up, next time I'll rent an ebike, but I agree. Been pretty much to every bike park along the East Coast and Kanuga has some of, if not the best jump trails around. I wouldn't wanna ride in these conditions though. As you know, it's a lot steeper and rockier in person, and with the wet leaves and a lotta trails being off camber, I'd be pretty nervous.
Dude was right it is Grand National Cross County. It's the premier east coast off road trail series. It's probably the third biggest moto series in the US behind Supercross and Motocross.
Place looks fun even in the rain 🤣🤣 I actually race GNCC its a good time. I was at powder ridge sunday and it snowed about a 1/2” in the morning made riding pretty interesting 😬😬 Another great vid man 🤘
You should check out a pretty new bike park called ride rock creek. It’s about 20 minutes away from Kanuga and has a shuttle open all year round. It’s a really sick place
Hey Phil, next time you're down here in the southeast you should definitely check out the new RideBHM park in Birmingham AL. I'd love to show you around!
You are so smooth! It's really cool watching you ride local to me trails. I'm planning a Whistler trip in 2023 and have been working on my jumping skills because I really want to send some of the jump trails there, particularly A-Line. I'm just starting to clear some of SE Style now. How would you compare SE Style to the jump trails in Whistler?

Killing it man!
You still in avl?? Do a sub ride at kanuga..got to ride with bobo recently and it was a blast
Man Phil has been on absolute fire lately 🔥🔥🔥 His channel definitely leveled up in 2021. Seems happier and to be enjoying it more. This one was sick (Mountain Creek was great too).
Agreed!
I like how Phil was stoping to throw sticks off the trail just being a great guy to the builders
I think the talent you demonstrate is quite breath-taking Phil. Wet, rooty, leafy, slippery, off-camber (all the things that make most of us slow down) and you are still flying down at phenomenal speed. So good to watch. Thanks
“How hard is the trail?”
“Phil was breathing hard going down it”
“Oh bro, no way am I hitting it then”
That trail is amazing in person; you gotta make it up there to try it sometime. The whole park is worth the trip!
@@printerror I’m pretty new to MTB, it’ll be a little bit before I start venturing out of state to get some new stoke.
@@OscarGonzalez-bq3ph Welcome to MTBing then Oscar. You'll get there!
That seat grab on the jump was SMOOTH!

I was terrified when you dropped in with “this will be my last run of the day” 😬
So I wasn't alone in that thought! I was like Nooo he didn't just say that.
Phil’s riding is so phenomenal! Love to get someone that could follow him. Do t get to see that ever!
The skill you show off in this video is insane! I think it may be because I have ridden all of the trails in the video bu the fact u bombed paint it so fast in the wet blind is crazy.

Awesome.. I have no idea how you're not sliding out on the wet leaves!
so awesome to see the crew riding together again!!
Crazy satisfying to watch Phil clear every jump line so effortlessly.
As always, you leave no room for more. Just the right amount of skills and style. Bravo again for showing us the wonderful world of MTB 🤟🤙🤟
"That's the feeling I crave, but I don't want it all the time."

I concur.
You guys got the only rainy day all fall here
Great stuff here! Love seeing the sampler and yourself ripping up Kanuga!

You two could almost pass as brothers! Great video Phill. :)
They seriously do. I never noticed that before.
I didn't know who was who after following them from Seth's videos

So Awesome to see Phil and Alexander riding together again!!
This was one of your best videos, just super chill day and tons of style!
Nice to see Alex. Bring back them videos Alex. And Phil your a beast
My two favorite TH-camrs in one video. Always a good time.
Alex: Yeah I crashed pretty bad on this jump.
Phil: Alright I'm going to go hit it.
I’ve rode this park so many times and never get tired of it, I live local to this park and it’s an amazing park ride on man
Thanks for putting Kanuga on the map. Was wondering when one of the bigger channels would post a ride here. Love this place!!
I love these TH-cam mtb collabs!
I need to try those trails. Only an hour from my house. Good to see Alex on a bike again!
What a great collab!!! And awesome video!
That looked so fun. What a pretty trail. I love it when it gets a little cold and wet. Great time of the year to ride.
Thx for the vid Phil. Looks like you had a blast. Was great to see Alex out and about.
Get Seth in here and I'd have a trifecta made up of my favs!
I am amazed at how much pop you get off those lips!!!! You make it look so easy! Great edit Phil, really enjoyed this one.
Sick video for sure. You guys rock! two chill kind guys having a time of their lives!
Always love NC videos, hope you're doing something with Seth!
You mean like this? 😁th-cam.com/video/9rGHvlbshhk/w-d-xo.html
@@SkillsWithPhilBINGO!
Man those jumps DO look dreamy. Such a sick looking spot!
Awesome to see Singletrack out riding and shredding hard!!!
I love Kanuga. I went there a couple days ago and I’m In love with it

Rural...🤦🏼♂️
Thank you for saying “that word’s mean”! I have never liked that word, and I live in the roorrrrule! Hate that word! 😂
Great to see you two collaborating. Awesome videos dude.
Great seeing you two hang together.
Love you both. Thanks for sharing when you ride togheter. Ure both humble and skilled bikeriders. Thanks!
Sick Riding Dudes!! Your such an amazing rider!
Such nice footage - just like I'm there with you guys!
Dave does a fantastic job keeping up the trails🤙🤙
That first good jump on southeast is awesome
Awesome seeing you both together
Great to see you two together.
You may want to check out the new San Lee Gravity Park at some point. It reopens today, and apparently the builders did a really nice job on the advanced trails. Not tamed down like everyone expected.
Cool video man! Alex has improve his technic quite a few, and you ride like always.... sick!😈😈😈😈
I love seeing Alex progress.
Another one of Phil's bangers! Good job 👏
Great video! Alex and you killed it! More collabs!!!! Lol
Love the color of those leaves!
This is the first multi dolphin video in a while! Good to see y'all having fun .
Planning my first trip down there in April, looks fun, can't wait 🤘
Those jumps look amazing, nice riding.
Wild. I went to school at tc Roberson and AB Tech and grew up in Hendersonville. Wish I would’ve got into mountain biking when I lived there before joining the army
Bruh you beat Richie Rude 😨🔥🔥🔥
Keep in mind this is when i was ~17 and Richie was a few years younger than me. We knew back then he had the potential to be one of the best riders, we just thought it'd be downhill racing. Enduro wasn't even a discipline at this time!
I was waiting for that..."Oh God" , from STS. Great ta see u 2 catching up a bit...more of that next time. Grab Seth and BKXC...

I ride there atleast once a week, its a great place.
Lucky! Thats such a rad local spot to have!
So happy you guys could ride together again!
hell yeah. the boys are back in town
You guys need to collaborate more often! That was a fun video to watch!
Dude was right it is Grand National Cross County. It's the premier east coast off road trail series. It's probably the third biggest moto series in the US behind Supercross and Motocross.
Yeahhhh single track sampler is an awesome dude!
I think the little turn 12:40 leads up to is the part they were talking about at 13:18
Place looks fun even in the rain 🤣🤣
I actually race GNCC its a good time. I was at powder ridge sunday and it snowed about a 1/2” in the morning made riding pretty interesting 😬😬
Another great vid man 🤘
Phil always has fun!
Great vid man! Now make your way to Texas for our hill country trails! Get your endurance up over here!
beautiful scenery ❤️
The SS and SWP have the sickest facial hair this side of TH-cam!
The two bike jesus's lmaooo
U are so close to 500k bro
And now he has 537k
Great video. Dude in green looked like Ted Lasso.
You should check out a pretty new bike park called ride rock creek. It’s about 20 minutes away from Kanuga and has a shuttle open all year round. It’s a really sick place
Send it! I can’t wait to get there
The Jesus brothers are riding together again. Awesome video.
Sick vid! Now I’m waiting for the windrock episode 😏
haha me too!
Hey Phil, next time you're down here in the southeast you should definitely check out the new RideBHM park in Birmingham AL. I'd love to show you around!
Phil " I don't know how this looks on camera"
Me... Ducking and diving out the way of the tree on my tiny phone screen 😂
Love your content! you should go up to Ontario and ride Horseshoe bike park in the summer!
You need to ride Gravity Park at San Lee Park in Sanford, NC. The park is sick and has amazing flow and lines.
It’s crazy how much pop off jumps Phil has, it’s like he’s jumping off a spring board. Hope some day I can jump like that lol
Somebody call the speed police!!! Alex is rippin!!!!
now that's what i imagine leaf surfin to be like
Bro Ik that bike your buddy has/ Fezzari Delano peak! Can’t wait til mine arrived in May!!!
You are so smooth! It's really cool watching you ride local to me trails. I'm planning a Whistler trip in 2023 and have been working on my jumping skills because I really want to send some of the jump trails there, particularly A-Line. I'm just starting to clear some of SE Style now. How would you compare SE Style to the jump trails in Whistler?
When I went on a trip to north carlolina I was gonna go but it was closed so I’m honing to go back and ride it and it looks so much fun
Big Brutus is a coal shovel down in SE kansas. Huge machine!
the entire video I was just thinking "this guy sounds like Alex" and then at the end I hear Alexander and just go "ohh, it is Alex"
I was wondering why it was raining seems like you brought some Vermont with ya
The Sampler getting sendy!
