- Jokes on me, I knew this was going to happen when I looked at my spare tube and decided not to bring it with me! Either way I had to make to the bottom of Whistler one way or another, and it certainly made for an entertaining ride down. For what it's worth, the trails we rode were Top of the World, Million Dollar, to Spignar, to Call me Maybe with guest appearances from Remy Metailler, Trevor Burke, Andrew Cho, Hans Rey, Mike Giese.

lol Phil with a flat going down the mountain is still faster than most of us would ride it normally
😂
I forget where it was, maybe someplace in NC or maybe Windrock, and on his way up he said "I'm gonna take it easy" then literally a minute later he inadvertently entered a race ... Anyway, he crashed and his bars were all jacked up, so again he said "I gotta take it easy" and kid not, with his bike all messed up he was still going faster than 99% of us.
Siiick riding! To ride at "Remy speed" THAT well, on a flat tire (thank God for Cush Core) is superior riding skill.
To be fair, Remy was always on the front tire of every rider...except when Phil was leading lol. I think Remy could of went faster if he wanted too.
@@benlittlechilds1192check out Remy's pov in his upload. No flat Phil was hauling and Remy wasn't holding back.. They couldn't catch him until he had a flat but even with little air they still couldn't keep up. Of course with a blind run and a dusty af it's understandable I think.. Lol
@@lamefart I saw it…he was weirdly fast there. I think though Remi is at a different level then Phil…even though I think Phil could still compete in racing…I love that he still rides a bit reckless…my kinda style.
@@benlittlechilds1192Of course. Remy is an elite full on freerider while Phil isn't but racing? Phil can hold his own against Remy. Weirdly fast huh? Have you seen him ride Schoolhouse Ridge blind in Pisgah? He's on a different level than remy in that regard. Remy is a cautious rider while Phil is more like Seth, more YOLO shenanigans. Lol
Keep in mind both Remy and myself have raced downhill at the UCI World Cup Level. But AFAIK the only race that we overlapped at was the Windham World Cup in 2015.
This is video is a true testament to your ability. I could tell you were holding back at certain times, but you still had some aggressive lines for riding on a flat tire. Would love to see another video where you can really attack that part of the park.
I had to be a bit pickier about lines to avoid rock on rim strikes as that wouldn't be a definite walk down.
Yes, and this is more push to have Remy and Phil do a video together!!
I’m really glad you posted this with Remy. I spotted you on a video he uploaded a few days ago. I knew you would have this.
You guys are literally my Top 2 CZcams MTB guys. 😎
I've learned from experience to always have a pump, tools and tube with me, especially at bike parks. More often than not the flats happen in inconvenient places and usually no one else carries anything (as witnessed in this video). Even if just to be able to leisurely ride down without risking damage to the wheel, at least I know I'll be at beer quicker, compared to stumbling with your bike down some hot ass steep access road. Plus when paying for lift tickets, which all seem to be getting more expensive now, the last thing I want to do is waste time walking around and not riding :)
Same......I don't go anywhere without a pump, tube, plugs, tools, snacks, etc.
The man, the myth, the legend!
Damn dude, thats a bummer. Looked like you were riding really well too
I think part of the reason youtube is "slowing down" for you is because mostly because the mtb rush of COVID is slowing down. Additionally, since nobody is quarantined anymore, people are spending less time watching CZcams in general. Love your videos, keep up the hardwork!
Yes, I'd also like to see Phil in more races, and colabs with other pros. Think he still got it.
I saw some of this on Remy's follow cam footage. You were hauling down that trail prior to your flat. It was even better to watch in POV on here. Dropping people with a flat tire....sick.
nobl for the win!
As well as cushcore!
@6:59 - when Phil says "WOOHOO" like that, you know he almost died 🤣
Freakin' Phil...
"Ohhhh nooo I got a flat!"...but hey...it's no big deal...😎
oh Phil sending the sos message with the puppy dog voice lol. Haley always to the rescue!
Not only does Phil have the best personality of any rider on youtube, but he can also hang with Remy at Whistler!
i could never get tired of watching you ride, Phil. nice to see some ride uploads lately!
That was awesome, Phil...you still kicked ass.
What a ride man, the old Phil killing it with a flat tire is back. Thought about it a long time ago and you should definitely make a video with Remy, it would be the best thing since you and Wyn riding together in Whistler.
Phil and remy, the greatest combination
That flat helped on those slippy spots though! New strategy!
Great video. Love seeing you and remy together
"I am full flat", as he passes other riders.
Love it...
one of the best mtb channels right here
back when i raced we did flat repair drills on just about every training ride while we were 'resting'... coach would be waiting for us on his dirt bike, say okay, you've all all got flats.
Hello Phil, a mini pump and some tire plugs could save a lot of troubles 😊
Otherwise I really like watching your videos.
Greetings from Switzerland
Cool footage off the top, I don't think i've seen it before.
Phil @7:45 looking back like .Where’s everyone at .. lol
Awesome vid! Last summer I went to Whistler to ride. I was suppose to ride Lord of the Squirrels and Top of the World but didn't do both as there was still snow.... :(
Mate we all wish we had this level of skill 😂
This video is absolute gold. 2 of my favorite riders along with Hans and a cast of other fabulous riders. Too bad you could not coordinate with Remy in Quebec
After blowing up a rear at Kicking Horse in Golden BC, I am a full convert to the Church of Cushcore... Wizard riding on a flat Shoe Phil! Well done man 🤘
Well Phil... "Nursed" it down the hill still faster than most would do.. some effort... That trail is on the bucket list for sure
So....A couple of years ago, you rode Dirt Merchant from top down with a flat...Noble wheels and CushCore...You finished, no issues or damage. I ride Noble and CC because of that very video.....They both owe you $$$ for the old ride, and this one!!!
Sick man that too to bottom was so sweet
How is this man so quick.... even with a flat lol.
Also, from experience - I now never go on any trail without atleast 2 C02 cartridge shots, plugging kit and a chain link...
So bummed you got a flat. I saw Remy's video, and at the top you were crazy fast. I think the two of you pushing each other in a future video would be sick!
if Phil hadn't said he had a flat tire I wouldn't have known based on his riding in this video
sweet video phil. I think you would like trestle bike park in western colorado, 36 trails and 3 lifts it wont be worth your time. please check out!
Phil: I got a full flat, no pump or kit to be found
Normie Rider: Oh, that sucks, how far did you have to walk?
Phil: Walk?!?!? Is that what mortals do?
U should make collaboration with Remy 🤘 that would be so sick💪
I feel you @Skills With Phill I went riding at thunder mountain today and got not one but two flats
crazy trail
Phil and Remy are my favorite riders. So sick to see them at Whistler together!
I saw few videos ago that I would like to see you with Remy, that would be awesome and here it is. Sooo unlucky with flat tire though...so you could not go full speed :)
DH casing, cushcore, 28 PSI, rofl, thats exactly my setup for bikeparks but I'm a 266 lbs buttergolem :D
damn, that's unfortunate :D
It’s been a while since we have seen a video of you going full tilt.
No wonder you couldn’t speak keeping up with reme (he seems like a full on savage) going that fast and making it look easy.
You were going so fast towards the end that I totally forgot you had a rear flat. CushCore is definitely going on my wheels ASAP after watching this
Hey Phil,
When was the last time you went to snowshoe bike park? Any plans to hit up that park this year?
Collegiate National Championships in 2016. Not immediately, it's a bit of a haul to get out that way, but I'm fond of the area.
This is a great advertisement for cushcore.. maybe I need some inserts
Sooo awesome epik video lovet
Great cushcore addvertisement right here
My mother was born in nice but the whole family lives in bretagne, we went to visit my moms friend who lives in toulouse once we drove there from plescop
Yo Phil, didn't get your last 2 in my recommends. Weird cause you're an instant click and full watch, plus I'm always watching Whistler videos ... Doesn't matter cause I always check your channel, and kinda like when there's a few unwatched so I can binge, but just a heads up in case you're trying something new
Yeah, CZcams hasn't been recommending my stuff lately, i can tell that by my analytics and where people initially click on my video. Not really sure what to do about it, because my content hasn't changed too much 🤷♂️
The trail you complained about is traditional PNW trail. Some of you guys have gotten to used to groomed park.
Looks like a pain in de rump
Max verstappen is the Phil kmetz of f1
@Skills With Phil hey Phil I've been Interested in your videos for a long time and I've always wanted to know what would I have to do to start getting into that type of stuff
That noise the tire makes, sounds like you run a pool noodle in the back 😅
next time you think i am fast
look back
phil is coming with a flat
man, if cushcore isn't already a sponsor, the should be 😁
You'd think after dirt merchant he'd learn lol
Yo Phil i been subbed for a min. And your vids stopped popping up in my sub box! Hope you have been well
shoutout huge fan phil
The great equalizer. A dude with a flat tire that’s way faster than you. 👊👊
what month is this looking for a hot month to go.
you can't outride this man, but they try!
I agree I hate switchback bermed turns on downhills, they're not a feature just a nuisance.
Could no one SPARE you a tube!? 🤪
Or a patch ? Out of all them people
Or a pump? I don’t think anyone had anything
Shocked there were no pumps! I always have a plug and pump set up.
what is kushcorn? or kushcore? or whatever it is that lets you ride on a flat?
Cushcore - its a dense foam that acts as a bead lock and as helps reduce pinchflats. It's a life saver, but things still happen!
@@SkillsWithPhil oh cool! im glad you were able to get down the mountain. that definitely would ben a difficult hike with a bike.
Hi how was your summer going?
How can i get rid off that squeaking fork damper or what ever it is, instead of buying a new one
Watching Phil & Remy ride makes me want to quit MTBing.🤭
My day would be done/ruined. Phil just rips with a handicap.
The kinda place you let others crash way in front, pointy rocks are not your friends 😂
you should put in slime in your tyers so this will not happen again i will warn u it can screw u up a little at first
To go on that type of ride without flat repair devices is not good judgment in my opinion 🤷🏼♂️
In the wilderness yeah dumb idea, but at a bike park, not that big of a deal.
sorry to hear that youtube revenue is slowing
2:40 people wearing black while riding black bikes. Personality disappeared in the 2010s
I think the kashima makes it hard to coordinate any decent color scheme
Unusual - and interesting - to see how Remy rides!! 🤘🏼🔥🫶
He's got a video on his raw channel with his perspective.
@@SkillsWithPhil yeh you're even more dynamic than he is - especially with that flat! 🤘🏼
I cant imagine anything pushes you harder than having remy behind you coming down whistler
Fwiw he has his perspective on his raw channel
