Skateparks: I Forget How Much Fun They Are!

- We're in the middle of another indecisive New England winter, so we're making the best of this temporarily warm weather to ride a skatepark I don't visit as much. I grew up riding and racing BMX but after I transitioned to mountain biking, my visits to skateparks have become more and more seldom. That being said, each time I get out to one, I'm reminded how much I enjoy riding them even though I spent most of my day relearning things that were once basic.
In this video Hailey and I are riding our GT LaBomba Dirt Jumpers with our good friend Ian Bresnahan at the Rusty Bearings Skatepark in Lebenon NH

For what it's worth I also just posted a trail building video over on my other channel @philsworld czcams.com/video/4F96PXDo7cQ/video.html
Hey Phil do you have any videos on how to ride on jumps and sketchy terrain I`m new to mountain biking I`m TJ and love to hear from you I love your videos I`m 15 yr
The best part about your videos is you just doing stuff, that’s all it needs to be. Dig out a tree stump, ride a skatepark, build a mini ramp, make spaghetti. Doesn’t need to be a trip to whistler to be worth watching Love the content and keep being you
Hailey laughing at you going "freeze and thaw" was too funny haha and yes I know the struggle of saying a combo of words
I'm glad she's a good sport, I'm a source of constant entertainment for her. :P
My 5 year old lives riding his bike at the local skatepark and doing jumps off everything he can. Its only the beginning 😊
So cool!!! Lebanon is in our backyard, that park is super cool! Thanks for riding there!
Last year at the age of 52 I bought a dirt jumper and a BMX bike with a 21” top tube. I’ll have to say I’ve been missing out on this extreme fun for all these years and I could kick myself for it. And just like you were saying it has given much more confidence on the mountain bike. Love all of your videos but I have to say this may be my favorite one. Please more of these.
That looked like fun! I like the way the little dude latched on to you guys. I hope you see him again someday when he gets older.
That was that my friends son, hence his skatepark etiquette :P
@@SkillsWithPhil well no wonder why he was so cool!😂
Always fun with Phill and Hayley riding bikes or building trails always a good vibe. cheers. :)
Phil, Hailey and Ian the trio we didn’t know we needed! 👊🚲💚
Fun to watch!
I ended up on a random skate park ride myself yesterday. Dug out the old eastern nighttrain dirt jumper and went and found some lines. No tricks for me but flowing around the bowl on the DJ was so much fun. Same flow state Im hooked to. So funny to see this video pop up!
Eastern night train!!! That’s an oldie.
Looks like amazing weather! 🤘
We’ve had a bad winter in Ontario, not enough snow / cold temps to build a hard base. Just lots of mud, ice, or fluffy snow this year.
Yeah, maple syrup season is in full swing here already, that's pretty rare.
This summer you should try Circuits Frontières in East Hereford Quebec it is just 1h30 from Kingdom trails and have beautiful trails
I live there, that is my local park in Lebanon😅 in the Summer you should hit Boston lot there are som big rock rolls and a huge sketch drop it is right in Lebanon too.
Thanks for sharing your adventures Phil.
Yes I’ve been wanting content so much I’m so ready for this season!!!
one of my favourite videos from you please do more dirt jumper videos!!
Love your vids man! you should come back to windrock in TN some time!
I Like the more real aproache!
We did a CZcams video with jay at thunder earlier in the year…u two should do a mtb to skatepark vid collab…that would be sixkkkkkk!…sweet vid tho! Love seein the DJ in your videos!
I saw that! We were supposed to ride at burke, but the weekend before I messed up my wrist at the sugarloaf EWS. :/
great video
Just a thought, would love some instructionals on getting over a spine and other park lessons...
I’m getting a dirt pump track by my house soon! I’m gonna be spending a lot of time outside this summer 😂
Ladies and gentlemen.... he's back.
Hey Phil I would like to give a recommendation next time you go to the uk I would recommend going to Southampton bike park they have all different types of lines
Had my 2 year old ripping this park on his Strider bike last summer. Proud Dad moment! LOL
you should come up and ride coos trails in Gorham NH this summer
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shoutout Jay Dalton!
Jay is the man. We've been trying to make something happen for a while now but the day we were supposed to ride last year i had just injured my wrist!
@@SkillsWithPhil he and Spencer are a couple of my favs. Their energy together is insane 🤣
This was sick!
They just built a new skatepark in Derry, NH you should totally check it out!
I'd love to but I'm lactose intolerant...
Sorry, that was a bad joke. Thanks for the intel!
@@SkillsWithPhil nothing like a good bad joke
People are spawning everywhere -- greatest comment in the video
🤣🤣🤣 love it
I'm in PA and it's 72 out right now in February ... All the more reason for ski resorts to put more resources into the bike parks!
Yeah, its a smart business move regardless. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to employ workers year round and you already own/lease the land, you might as earn money in the summer too.
I miss your videos Phil! 😢
BMX skills transfer so easily onto MTBs, and you can instantly see the effortless fluid style difference they have over a rider who have exclusively only ridden MTBs. More MTB riders should spend time on a BMX and in a skatepark, their riding will instantly improve.
Agreed, I grew up racing bmx and dirt jumping, and while the wet off camber stuff took me a bit to get used to but i was at home immediately on a lot of the stuff mountain bikers struggled with. These days though I find it takes me a while to get used to riding park again, but I'm reminded of why i liked it.
As far as skateparks go... that's pretty nice
These places are popping up all over the US. The north east lags behind a bit, but this is one of the better parks for bikes nearby
@@SkillsWithPhil Keep an eye out for here in central NY (Utica). I went to a city meeting and it looks like we have plans to go forward with the largest skatepark on the east coast. Coming soon... maybe.
@@WorldwideDarts Ha good to know, that's our midway stop on the way to Rays. I tried the Chicken Reggies my last time I was there on a recommendation of a local :)
Is this in Vermont? Where is this skatepark?
@@mes2239 It's in NH/Vermont border in Lebanon NH.
You are a natural on a BMX let's see more of it!
I raced bmx from when i was 5-14y/o. I also dirt jumped and rode park. It wasn't until i moved to NH that i stopped riding bmx in favor on mountain bikes as we don't have too many good riding spots and i needed a change of scenery.
@@SkillsWithPhil good stuff man! Keep it all up! ❤️🔥
I was wondering… can any size tire fit on a chairlift?
I wish my girl rode bikes!
Will you be at sea otter ?
Dude. Did I just see you in a Mountain Dew commercial. I’m sure it was you.
Hey Phil! I am 14 years old and have been looking at some new flat and clipless shoes for both enduro and downhill racing! What do you recommend that has proven to work best? Thanks!
I’m not phill but look into 5 10am for a start they are one my favorite shoes right now and it is mostly everyone favorites but yeah I’m sure there is better out there but those are my to go shoes that aren’t clip
They are also a very flat shoe like vans
Awesome, thanks! I will definitely take a look!
Idea: Phil - you teach Hayley how to do a manual on camera, and that way thousands of others like me can learn! 😃
So... this? czcams.com/video/7EOkGZExzws/video.html
@@SkillsWithPhil Haha! Indeed! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@14:48 @JayDalton !? I literally have his video's page up now! Did you 2 do a collaboration that I missed?
No, we not yet. Ian has ridden with jay quite a bit in the past. I've talked to jay a few times, we were supposed to ride together this past year, but i ended up hurting my wrist the weekend before :/
Hi
Phil, you have to get GT to send you a BMX.
After riding Ian's bike it made me want to get one again. His setup felt surprisingly comfortable.
It's healthy for the scooter kids to get plowed occasionally, it's educational!
Hey vacations over!! Get back to work making vids!!
Post again!!!!!
do you ski when you cant bike?
Calling out Jon delron eh? I'd like to see that lol
First
First of the Firsts.
Unfortunately it looks like you were beaten to the punch!
@@SkillsWithPhil C'est la vie brotha. Awesome video as always.
