Full Pull Down Whistler From The Top Of the Gondola!

- During crankworx, I was supposed to be in the whistler village by 2pm, but I tried to sneak in one more run when I found myself at the top of the Gondola with less than 20 minutes to get down.
Keep in mind a bunch of trails had been closed for one reason or another over the week due to ongoing Crankworx events, work on the new Fitzsimmons chair, and trail maintenance. I'm not a Whistler local, and had I thought about this a bit more, I would have taken a much different and direct route, but hindsight is 20/20. For example, Angry Pirate had not been opened the previous runs, so I assumed it was not opened all this week. I would have also taken original sin instead of freight train.

I love that the struggle to get to work on time during rush hour is a universal reality in all jobs
There's a certain Ludacris song that fits these moments
Phil coming to the Nobl booth like he hasn't just absolutely rampaged their wheelset. True testament to how good these rims are.
Haha, Traversing the village was the hardest part of the journey!
Dude, watching Phil absolutely wreck trails is one of the reason's I bought NOBL's. They are bomb proof, I have had so many big impacts and square edge hits and they don't flinch. They stay true to boot!
When your the fastest on the trail and nobody can touch you then you get past by Phil doing Mach F$%@🤣🤣
Man you freaking flying!!
my glutes and quads are screaming from my couch as I braced for each landing, turn, and gap -- not too mention my lungs from holding my breath for 15 minutes. Epic rip down!
The bottom half of the lap when you were really able to open up was some of the most impressive riding I've seen. Soooo insanely fast!
He looks stupid fast to me!!
I don't know if I blinked throughout this entire video. Dude... how do you not lose it going through those trees and rocky terrain. I mean.. damn this is sick riding.
Phil is a lot faster than most people think, camera really doesn’t do justice, next trip you need to come down and tour Arkansas 🔥💯🇺🇸
Mtb prodigy is back lol
It definitely DOES do it justice. He was FLYING DOWN
lol everyone knows Phil rips.
He's one of the only YTers who can actually ride proper dh.
Did Arkansas ever build any mountains to go with all those Wal-Mart trails?
I'll get down there eventually, as a rider its not #1 on my bucket list but as a trail builder I'm very intrigued with some of the things I've seen
Man, I was watching that and felt my head going from side to side, just like watching the bobsled at the Winter Olympics! Dude, I have been subbed to your channel for about 7 years now and your riding is always fun to watch. Been out of riding the last 2 years... life got in the way a bit but I am getting my mojo back to riding. Ordered a new bike and have been binging on my riders I've subbed to over the years. Thanks for your inspiration! I'm 51 this year but never felt more like a kid watching this stuff, so cool.
I was whole assed leaning back and forth there at the end
Totally blew by that guy on the fire road when he probably thought he was cruising! You are seriously CRAZY fast!!
That fireroad is soooo sketchy- kind of wish i had a speedometer on me
@@SkillsWithPhil Back in the 90's, I'd ride my GT LTS (full suspension - Back spring and front Rock shock with 2 inches of travel! 🤣) down fireroads like that at Stevens Pass (Washington) and that bike was a glorified 10 speed (with 24 gears) with my head over the bars! Just waiting for a OTB moment. I'm STILL riding it now but upgrading to a bike made in the 2020's now so I should do better!
This type of video may not perform as well as others, but I miss this type of video from the CZcamsr riders. Just nice quality footage of solid runs. I would love to see more single run videos for the sounds, commentary, and beautiful scenery. Thanks for this one!
This video is a great reminder of how amazing your abilities really are.
good god I know you're fast but this was damn impressive!
That rocky section was GNARLY
Oh man. I swear, I was on the edge of my seat for that amazing ride. You are one crazy dude.
that was a freaking race run. unbelievable
This has to be my favorite video of yours. It had me on the edge of the seat more then the latest movies.
WoW Phil, fantastic run... You can shred like crazy when you're late.. Thanks for uploading... Great run man!
“We’ve waited in line at Highland for longer” such sad, true words 😢😂
Honestly i could not believe that we only waited ~36 minutes given how long the line looked. Oddly enough, i dont mind waiting. Talking to people in the lift line is enjoyable
Just by happenstance, I started watching this video with about 20 minutes before I needed to leave for a meeting. I honestly didn't look at the length of the video before I started watching it (but Phil's videos are usually about that long so I thought I'd be safe). It was great to experience nearly the same "time anxiety" as Phil did. It certainly made watching the video that much more fun! Keep up the good work Phil!
Falling down like a rolling stone - great and scary at the same time
These videos really keep me interested in cycling again after not riding for over 3years. When that bike finally comes, definitely going to let loose😁
Thank you so much for posting this! My 6 & 7 year olds have been watching every one of your videos for a few years now, and we were at the top of Whistler today, watched people start riding down, saw riders under our gondola on the way down, and watched people ending at the bottom. This video was great for our kids to see what that all looks like from your point of view, and then see you ride up almost next to our hotel.. they really enjoyed seeing this, knowing you and Nick were here only a short time ago. Keep posting great varieties of videos!
Glad you folks enjoyed it, Whistler is top notch.
🔥Phil's Whistler Vids are always so EPIC. But this one is on an entirely different level! 🔥
One of the more fun vids to watch. Top to bottom, just GO!
Thanks greg :)
I loved the race against the clock format of this video. Great example of how a slightly different concept for a riding video can be super compelling. Not to mention the way you sped through some of those completely blown out tech trails...
Insane speed Phil!! 😱🔥👀
Phil, I watch hundreds of mtb videos. I’ve been riding hard for over 40 years. (Santa Cruz native). From just this video, you might be one of the smoothest and maybe fastest riders I’ve ever seen. Thank you. Liked, subscribed, shared and all notifications. Ok, time to watch more!
Duuuuuuude, that was bookin 📕! Fire 🔥 run. Bonus that you made it in time!
That was epic. Loved this video slammed packed with action lol
Watching you go this fast is so entertaining and thrilling. Great vid
Awesome stuff, new sub! Man, you make that look so easy!
Love how busy u r and how u r making fun out of it
So sick!!!
Freaking awesome!
Beast mode! Phil is so fast
What a beautiful trail
Love the videos man. You da man!
OMG Phil! Killin It!!
Im missing all the whistler content on CZcams i wanna go back so badly. Phil you are always the most impressive to watch on CZcams man your pov is always insane and somehow surpasses the gopro effect.
Impressive!
Nice trails Phill awesome ridung skills 🤘
I hesitate to call it this, but this an interesting concept for a video. It was borne by necessity, but it really worked. Great riding, Phil. I had just watched Nic's video with his ride over through Whistler to the contest, so this was interesting..
Slow Clap sir... that was insane!!!
That's a redemption rip, go Phil!
crazy man, crazy!
what a run!!
EXCELLENT CONTROL AND MANEUVERABILITY AT SPEED
The level of fitness is impressive.
Your sick riding just earned my sub.
This is what they meant when they coined the phrase "break neck speeds". Holy crap you are amazing man. I was watching this and swaying my body back and forth as if I was on that bike along with you LOL. I'd love to know how fast in Mph you were going down that one fire road too.
NICE Phil! One of your best videos in a while.
Wow, thanks!
Absolutely flying
phil there needs to be some edit of you made because going down these insanley difficult trails at very very high speeds is just mind blowing
Well that's impressive. Thank you for the free entertainment
That was sick. The timing gave it a great narrative. Almost watched like Fabio Wibmer video!
That. Was. Epic.
How fast can we go? Phil: YES !
You are a sick rider Dude.
Like a BOSS!!!....still got that downhill mojo phil
Damn dude. Impressive
“Holy f*ck” count 12. “Oh my god” count 15. That a-line piece at the end really freaked me out! Damn, what a great rider!
The stamina needed to do a full pull down the whole mountain is crazy! We started down from the 2nd gondola, and went down easier trails than you did, and I was so gassed out that I had to stop a few times. For me the hard part was the g-forces in the berms, it makes you feel like you weigh twice as much. I rented a Commencal full DH bike with 200mm travel and no dropper post, and I quickly realized I wasn't conditioned to stand up going downhill for 20+ min straight.
absolutely beatiful forest
Sick .... you could really 'feel' that time pressure in this one ......
Fuck got all stressed watching that 😂 Then arrive and not even sweating 😵💫 You’re an amazing rider to watch, love the videos, they all make me wanna ride and push even more 👌🙏 Looks so “easy” great flow with that crazy speed
Gosh darn. Your one bad ass dude
After all the hauling ass and no Phil giggles, we need the Phil giggles!
Beautiful ride, i envy you!
that was so gnarly lol
I see Phil risking life and limb to be a judge for a contest. Phil,” Just another day riding Whistler”!!!
Showed up to the booth like a Boss
Coming from a motocross background (20 min from RedBud) I am amazed what these MTB's can do in the hands of riders like Phil. Would be like coming down with Eli Tomac smh. Thanks for the great vids.
What a savage 🫡
Damn Phil you know how to roll
When you cut into A Line, I definitely clenched up a couple of times. You were ripping through that section.
Awesome epik video
Oh my god... That was fast. 😂
WOW! Crushed it. Any chance you kept track of average speed and or max speed?
What tires and pressures are you running. Love all your content.
Cool run.
Whistler is amazing
The most exciting trail video I ever saw...
Oh yeah, the tell tales of flowy boy!
that was stressful 😅
I'm usually really good about being punctual when I agree on a time but I really underestimated how long the upper half of the gondola ride took. I was super relieved to find out out i wasn't the last person at the booth!
Good lord that was fast! I was puckering the whole time. I would have worn out a set a brake pads if I tried this LOL
Very cool video
What a rush, just watching this.
great run bro
Phil in a rush?! Watch out people!
12:39 I crashed doing that exact same thing after a run my bars turned and I slid for almost 30 feet on my head and shoulder with no padding. Had to get a new helmet and had horrible road rash so I don’t do that anymore haha
It’s always a good day when Phil posts
Thanks 🙏
17:13 "planes are flying low today" - those guys standing there
The vertical drop at whistler never ceases to amaze me
Me here, sitting in Florida, where the best “downhill” we have is at Mount Dora. lol. Which is like 100 feet of drop. lol
I plan on driving to Jarrod’s place in Georgia soon.
YEAHHHH PHILLLL
I’m sure people get hurt often out there but, do you know if that guy was ok ..?
Always enjoyed watching your rides..
Nice
Phil my dude I thought you were going to the hospital a few times. That was nuts.
Haha, Glad i kept you on edge!
Boy goes fast
Phil is narrating his descent and just having a conversation with his followers while bombing the trail, meanwhile the only conversation I'd be having is with God pleading with him to get me down to the bottom unharmed! Nice work.
“We’ve wait in line at highland for longer” so real. That chair is sooo slow
