- Part 2 of our first day a Bromont bike park. It stopped raining and the sun came out which really dried out the trails and made them considerably faster. We got a guided tour from a Bromont local Adam Robbins, a friend I knew from Downhill racing. He also works for Faction bikes who has been working with Neko Mulally to develop their race bikes.

Once again, sooo good to see you ride here! And I always forget how good your french is!! I hope you know us quebeckers respect that a lot!!
Phil unleashes another super power and starts speaking French.
I have a few more talents i keep up my sleeve :)
Phil is secretly a polyglot
Well I did take five years of spanish when i returned to the states. I can understand it okayish, but taking spanish while slowly loosing my french really messed with me.
Puedo entender un Poco, pero juego futbol con jugadores hispanas y no entiendo nada. Mi accento es Bien pero mi vocabulario es muy puqueno
@@SkillsWithPhilsounds a little risqué. Lol.
Fun to see you speaking French man! Great shredding as always!
12:21 Jeeezus phil that was too close for comfort
2 Vids! Heck Yea!
It was great to Meet You at the Hill and share a Chair. Glad You and Hailey enjoyed your little QC adventure 😊

Dude! What is the name of that place you mentioned?!
Your french is so good bro congrats
Didn’t know you spoke French - and quite well too! Very nice to see and evidently you put in the efforts to learn it, as it is a very tough language to learn and, especially, master.
He lived in France when he was younger, mid elementary til just before starting high school. Forgot...😅
Well I didn't really have a choice, I was thrown into a public French school and it was kind of sink or swim. I learned how to count to 20 and the days of the week right before moving that was all I knew. By the time I left most people didn't realize I wasn't French. But it's been 20 years since I've spoken it regularly and spoken Quebec French is quite different from the French I spoke.
@@SkillsWithPhil Yes, that makes sense then. French is so hard that a many anglophones that were born in Montreal barely speak it. And I'm not surprised people wouldn't be able to tell you weren't French: your accent is really good. And yes, Quebec French is very different and our accent is much harder to understand than France's. That being said, at least, most people here speak English which isn't the case accross the Atlantic.
Bromont looks great. It makes me wonder why so many Canadians come over to Highland when Bromont is right there? Bromont is now on my list for this summer.
Well Highland is pretty cool and isn't pretty close. I can't blame them. But it's also why we like to go up there and ride their stuff. :)
damn, I love the fact your chit chating in some sick technical stuff.. I would of died!! haha love it. I live 40min from Bromont and never been. thanks for the ride
Absolutely destroying Bromont! That place is one of the chunkiest places I've ever ridden! Nice to see Adam Robbins featured a bunch in these Bromont videos! I've "ridden" with him before on my channel and he is FAST!!!
Adam and i got back quite a bit. He was still a junior when i was at my professional racing peak, but his times weren't incredibly far off mine back then. I also rode with him in my EWS100 burke videos.
When he said ‘river gap” I was thinking of a full-on river, not a tiny stream, hah. It would be cool to see a trail with a full-on river gap jump.
Yeah haha, "river gap" and "landing in it" really didnt compute in my head.
Check out the latest Red Bull Hardline course in Wales... 👀
Great video!! You’re cornering abilities make me jealous.
Wow ton francais est vraiment bien ( your french is great)🤘
Holey crap Phil I don't comment on vids but man u were flying through that trail and the tree nice save my heart jumped to and I wasn't even ridding
Haha, that one was a very close call. Ive broken my right hand twice from clipping a tree. 😬
I'm laying in bed at 3am watching this but I still clench at every turn and every jump.
It feels like your relationship with gravity isn't the same as other earthlings..
Bravo pour ton français Phil! Bonne ride à Bromont!
Am I the only one surprised Phil didnt go back to do the big double up.
I was riding with friends, and I was going by what they wanted to do. I'll get back and check it off.
Yeah thats a big double that we all discovered while watching connor fearon video! Didnt even thought that was supposed to be a double, only two little jumps! 😂😂 Some youngsters are doing it nowadays and I saw they were calling it the connor jump or something like this. Lol
tres bien Phil ! :)
ho wow c est le fun de te voir rider les trail que je ride, you guys so fast hehe. demain j y serai, versant enduro.
Incroyable ton français! Je t’adore encore plus big!
Phil says "Tu peux parler français", and Axel just goes full Quebec accent slang !
Damn. Yall ride good. Nice.
first pleasant surprise when watching Phil: he's ridden (slayed) my home trails in Powell River... deuxième surprise-il parle pas mal français!!!?@?!?! formidable!!!
boom [hand gestures] 🤣
Bromont is not smooth you guys were flying! Great riding need to hit it up this summer again.
Any thoughts yet on the continentals vs previous maxxis? Would love to have a video of what you think!
Man , your french is Great !
yo phil your french is great !
Dude I wish I can bike with you man
Gawd we only saw it for a couple seconds in this video but THANK GAWD GT changed their freakin font back to something that wasn't an awful font. You wounldn't think it would make that much of difference but when your entire brand revolves around 2 letters and a font.... changing the font.... fuckin' death. Recognize what your brand is. ITS AMAZING, its freakin GT baby! and its 2 LETTERS AND THE FONT. Without that font its just 2 letters.
At what age did you live in France? Jaw dropping how well you spoke French!
I moved there the summer before 4th grade and left after 7th grade. When i was in france i was the "American", and when i moved back i was known as frenchie 🤷♂️
Vas-y Philippe!
French in kwibek is pretty weird, it's not even in our school books the way we talk and the way we write is very different 😂 a mess really. We're spechial ❤
*Edit: sont rapides en esti eux 😂
It's really not hard to understand quebec news hosts, but the spoken Quebec diverts really far away from Parisian french. The word "esti" and one another really throws me off. That and remembering which place uses what words. France: email, weekend, voiture, copine | Quebec: Courielle, fin de la semain, char, blonde.
Yeah but it is the same in France, USA and pretty much everywhere... thats called a slang! Teenagers dont speak in the streets like they learned speaking at school! ;)
Edit: oui rapides en tabarnak!!! Twice as fast as me riding blind! 😂😂
Haven’t seen you in a while 😭😭
As someone who has never done this are you just sight riding these trails out of the gate and how hard is that?
never knew the france part. any clips from the time in France?
Sadly no really. This was almost 20 years ago, the first iPod had just been released, cellphone cameras weren't a thing and I didn't own a camera.
At 5:38 was that a fox orange fork?
you Parlez the Francais tres bien!
After watching your 2 Bromont videos I’m wondering what kind of day that was… like how many laps/kms you spent there ? 🤔
Both videos are from the same day. Before/After lunch. It was raining in the morning, and dusty by the end of the day.
They really ruined the end of #17 a while back :(
Your french is excellent!!! The guy who talks to you could make an effort by using words that you could understand easier!
You may not get to practice your French much, but it's still pretty good!
Não sei andar de bicicleta 😕 talvez, crio coragem de aprender 😂❤🇧🇷
You speak French? Magnifique...
People who wish they could ride like Phil
👇
Phil en francais!
I have to admit, i have definitely used your videos to help freshen up on my bike related quebecois vocabulary!
@@SkillsWithPhil C'était un criss de plaisir, only with tabarnak, bière et poutine, you have the bases covered ;)
im the 300 like :)
I used to ride there a bit..... i have never met people so rude and snobby as i have experienced in Quebec, the second they see you speak English it seemed we were to scum of the earth to them and a inconvenience. We would try and talk and say hello ect and they would just turned their back and ignore you.
Wtf Bro sorry for that bad experience. Normaly we enjoy helping people and there a big population that speak more english than french around Bromont. Hope you come back and enjoy the place! ✌️
Maybe they were just shy to speak english? If you were just rude trying to speak to girls, thats might be the problem too. Lolll
