You know the biking season is over when Phil does his last run. It will reopen when he does his Highland Park opening day video. It was a great season.
actually he hasnt posted as much this year last year i remember way more videos but its really worth the weight i really enjoy everything he posts i also subed to his other account phils world which he builds alot on that channel
Killington closed over a month ago and this has actually been a pretty bad season with all the rain, especially weekends ... Already looking forward to next season!!
Once i got back from whistler i spent most my energy towards building the public trail. Between Hailey and i we probably logged close to 1000hrs on it this year. Check out my other channel. youtube.com/@PhilsWorld?si=OLk_baDuaXnYwzgP
So good! This day was my first time up at Killington and I can't wait to go back. Saw all of you jumping on the lift when you got there, which was cool. Goat skull was so fun, and man were you cruising! Would love to see you do a video where you breakdown carrying more speed through rough tech like that. Obviously training yourself to see and pick good lines is a must, but what else are you doing bike/body wise to go from maybe being quick, to fast? Also, hats off to you for towing that random guy into the cable drop. I had a local kid tow me into that, so I can definitely appreciate that.
i really wish you were able to post more this year i love your riding and building content its never a disappointment when i click on your videos i hope to see more videos more because i will literally watch them alllllll keep it up
It’s a shame what all the rain Vermont got this summer did to the trails. They got so washed out and bumpy. Killington’s flow trails are known for being silky smooth. I hope they can resurface them for next season
Yeah, I had a few first-year riders join me a couple times this year and normally would've been quick to show them Sideshow Bob as a natural progression, but the trail surface was such that I hesitated until they were really comfortable with speed over bumps.
ach, da sieht man Yuka und Eric auch normal... dachte die zwei hätten YT an den Nagel gehangen! Echt schade das sie es nicht mehr für nötig empfinden content zu machen. Dafür hat Eric aber eine TrickStuff Maxima für 1300€ am Bike- Top Bremse. Wenn nicht sogar die besten die man sich kaufen kann! Deine Videos sind immer Top Phil Bin mal gespannt wann du mal einen anderen Bike Sponsor ausprobierst! -weiter so!
@SkillsWithPhil I'm going to try out Panzer inserts instead of Cushcore. Much lighter weight (for pedalling). Def. better than no insert, we will see how they perform but given the light weight and half the cost its worth a try.
So, as youre saying you got rid of cushcore because of weight, I would rather choose a lighter tire. I guess you run a DH casing? On my DH Bike I run a Supertrail casing Tacky Chan up front, and a Big Betty Supergravity on the rear with a Rimpact tireinsert each. Havent had a single flat the whole season and i do ride gnarly, rocky trails as well. Maybe not the gaphunter like you, but definitely not "bumbling down the trails" 😂
I would not rule that out, but i think what you are hearing is a result of cold temperatures. Oil moves less freely in suspension, tires are, ground is frozen in spots. There's something about the cold that changes how a bike feels and the noises the make
I'm 42 now but when I was a kid someone told me to land on both wheels or on the rear. Never on front. You say don't pop up the front which means landing on front wheel first. It's that right ?
I'll just leave this here. Things to look at qualification, and "sector 2" times for finals. www.rootsandrain.com/event2924/2015-aug-8-uci-world-cup-dh-6-windham-ny/results/#h-elitem
Killington did a poor ass job maintaining their trails this year. rain just an excuse. No other park in the north east was in this bad a shape. Blue Magic was a safety hazard and there were loose rocks all over the landings on on jump start.
My first time up here that same day and my buddy clipped a huge rock right in the middle of the landing on blue magic and toasted his front wheel. It held pressure until that very last berm and then sent him into the ground after he violently lost all tire pressure.
Hailey grew up racing cross country and has always ridden clipped in. I grew up racing BMX clipped on but when I transitioned to downhill racing i felt more comfortable in flats. I've ridden MTB clipped in but I just enjoy riding flats, its more fun and helps me bail off the bike quicker. I attribute the relatively few injuries ive gotten over my career in part to that.

@@bikeguycody The bike park videos are the best. He did a great video this year with JKW in Washington state.

@@topspot4834 yeah from labor day on it rained almost every weekend. next year will be better.

Sooo fast on goat skull! Thanks for the day Phil!
It was great having you. Looking forward to seeing more from your next adventures!
Hey, I am one of your biggest fan @BCpov
@BCpov why did you stop uploading?
did Yuka get new bike? i check your 2 channel to see and you guys didn t upload anything in the last 2 months
Phil videos! Never a dull moment!!!
Yeah, definitely two of the coolest mtb youtber couples out doing laps. good vibes.
You know its good when Phil and BCPov colabbbb
We missed u 🥲 can’t believe van girl Yuka and BCPOV where there!

Your lines down Goat Skull were so good. Nice work Phil
That lens wipe transition was so nice!
Love Phil’s little chuckle whenever he crashes
i really wish you were able to post more this year i love your riding and building content its never a disappointment when i click on your videos i hope to see more videos more because i will literally watch them alllllll keep it up
Nice to see you ride with Eric and Yuka!
awesome video. can't wait for next season already!
Your take on drops is so true. Often you don't need to do anything other than not do do something stupid 🙂
It’s a shame what all the rain Vermont got this summer did to the trails. They got so washed out and bumpy. Killington’s flow trails are known for being silky smooth. I hope they can resurface them for next season
Same with Quebec, but I take that over the drought and wildfires BC has been getting
These videos make me want to get back into mountain biking...
That Goat Skull run…yow…Mach chicken speed and so smooth at the same time. Nice goin’ Phil!
Definitely the best trail on the mountain.
Wow, Nice to see that Erik and Yuka are still alive
I love Killington it is my favorite spot to go mountain biking i live in fair haven Vermont by the New York border.
That lens fog transition was cleannnn
Great park and great vidie phill you are a great rider
Wild Killington was able to stay open this long. We've been frost heaving for a month just a bit more east.
It was fun riding with you today as I stuffed myself with Thanksgiving goodies!
Killy was running so rough the entire season from the rain. Hope the get it fixed up nicely for next season
Yeah, I had a few first-year riders join me a couple times this year and normally would've been quick to show them Sideshow Bob as a natural progression, but the trail surface was such that I hesitated until they were really comfortable with speed over bumps.
I watched them build that ending bit on goat for weeks. Never got to ride it. The whip off section below blue magic looked pretty sweet too.
Eric and Phil!!! Awesome content😎👍
Those guys... 1:17 🥰🙏🏼
Eric and Yuka are genuinely great people.
Dude that transition @1:35 was sick
Love a good finger swipe transition :)
The 13:58/13:59 transition is so nice ngl
That's cool
Man I know you probably slog through slush off camera but man your videos really highlight some awesome riding conditions
Yess I love Killington.
But I love Phil’s videos more I hope he comes to Kanuga some time.
The immidiate ding after talking about cushcore felt like a personal slap in the face
Haha yeah. Luckily Nobl rims are pretty resilient to those, but I really try to avoid rim strikes.
I ski Killington every winter, it's so weird seeing it without snow.
Thanks Giving content!
There really isn’t any other “must watch” rider. Phil’s the real deal
Awesome

So sick! Still need to make it up there 😢
@SkillsWithPhil I'm going to try out Panzer inserts instead of Cushcore. Much lighter weight (for pedalling). Def. better than no insert, we will see how they perform but given the light weight and half the cost its worth a try.
Missing the bike season phil 😢 was just there for the esc finals and I’m just itching to ride again
Your the best phill
HAPPY TURKEY DAY PHIL!
Has Phil ever done a MegaAvalanche race?
I wanted to when i was younger, but these days i don't really have much interest. I'm sure itd be fun regardless.
good video as always good to see you ride with yuka and bcpov. please make a how to drop tutorial
thanks in advance

1) Jump Start
Sweet
Phil, are you planning on skiing/riding at all this winter?
Yes, but I probably won't bring a camera. :)
@@SkillsWithPhil hoping to get my kid out for the first time at Okemo. I usually go to Killington when I'm by myself.
Please do a "how to do drops" video. I think the mountain biking community needs one from you.
Still can ride, even though you build more days throughout the season. 😂 Only lost a smidgen . . .
I could hear a difference in sound of the tires over the smaller bumps, sounds similar to mine . Is that because of no cush core?
I would not rule that out, but i think what you are hearing is a result of cold temperatures. Oil moves less freely in suspension, tires are, ground is frozen in spots. There's something about the cold that changes how a bike feels and the noises the make
I'm 42 now but when I was a kid someone told me to land on both wheels or on the rear. Never on front. You say don't pop up the front which means landing on front wheel first. It's that right ?
yuka on a commencal?
I was thinking the same. Eric is also on a Claymore.
Just had a thought.... I curious who's faster down a trail. Phil or Boostmaster. I watch their videos and I'm always impressed.
No offense to Jordan but Phil would smoke him
Probable Jordan the Boostmaster
I'll just leave this here. Things to look at qualification, and "sector 2" times for finals.

@@SkillsWithPhil The data doesn’t lie. Too bad that park is all done now.
Just missed you!! What day was this on?!
Getting my BCPoV and Yuka fixes via other channels. LOL
Are you sure you're not trying to go for kom's?
Sales for the new Sensor must be skyrocketing after this video.
📈📈📈📈
Eric riding with a gimbal in 2023??
As good as digital stabilization is, mechanical stabilization is far superior. I hate gimbals but the footage you get is top notch.
Yes!!! Finally a last ride of the year from Filthy Phil!!
Was that Yuka?
I was there in August and had a great time until some douche burned up my back tire and went on a tirade.
Killington did a poor ass job maintaining their trails this year. rain just an excuse. No other park in the north east was in this bad a shape. Blue Magic was a safety hazard and there were loose rocks all over the landings on on jump start.
The weather didnt help that's for sure, but I've never been particularly impressed with their trails or trail maintenance.
at least they maintain the gift shop
My first time up here that same day and my buddy clipped a huge rock right in the middle of the landing on blue magic and toasted his front wheel. It held pressure until that very last berm and then sent him into the ground after he violently lost all tire pressure.

Hi is ti going wlu
Healey drive clipless and you drive flat pedals ? Why a pro like you ride flat ?
Hailey grew up racing cross country and has always ridden clipped in. I grew up racing BMX clipped on but when I transitioned to downhill racing i felt more comfortable in flats. I've ridden MTB clipped in but I just enjoy riding flats, its more fun and helps me bail off the bike quicker. I attribute the relatively few injuries ive gotten over my career in part to that.
