This is a compilation of some of the best and worst Skills with Phil moments of 2022 and 2023. Watch this while you’re riding the trainer, on a date, or just looking to kill 1.5 hours for no good reason.

    Thanks for a great season, there will be plenty more bumbling to come in 2024!

    #bumbling #mtbPOV #mountainbiking

    A heads up heads up oh dear God do not look down Phil what is this whoa that’s cool what’s up guys that was not there this morning that was not there this morning that is cool that is wicked cool all right danger Cliff oh that’s

    Cool all right so this is the Prine I assume that’s a janky turn that was sick oh yeah that goes woo went way too high what what is this whoa that’s a nice ruts there all right that’s actually wor one all right w head up Nico never mind you’re good I wouldn’t discredit

    Yourself wo all right yeah that was a flat so if you can’t tell all right this is Enchanted Forest which honestly is probably one of the best DRS here nice Wooo line ni there you go I should say while we’re on this fine Trail called portal that I have been playing a game called portal recently all right so they say Dismount here let’s keep going for a little bit okay yeah under normal circumstances this is a

    Move that I could make but when the consequences are this high for messing up I’m okay with walking it it’s not that cool and I’ve done a lot cooler things in my life some of those rocks are a little greasy okay no shortage of wood features on this

    TRS all right this drops actually labeled I think that was completely natural last time I was here oh I do not like anything remotely kind of turning on wood you can definitely get that but feel attraction is CR line oh this must be the drop right here

    Yeah no the drop’s not the sketchy parts that little pre- roller is actually a little bit Sketchier go oh my God so much harder today ah yeah that was fun we’re good we’re good good yeah there we go oh no we got another all right forget how my je up that turn woohoo feel what’s up guys woo this is this is R this is is

    Awesome just just a little bit of rock work yeah just a little bit so last time I rode in this area I rode Mount FR and I didn’t really get this sample hold L Trail so we’re on our way to Whistler so we’re just kind of

    A stopping by and hang out with Nick for a bit and he’s giving us a tour it’s just so crazy to like this style of Trail is wildly different than anything we have back home I’ll go around the puddle right now I’m really just trying to get a feel for this

    Terrain and understand how the builders build out here and my shoes are what I do not like wet feet this gets chunky wo sounds like a bunch of broken dinner plates all over the place oh this is really fun woo oh yeah this is a fun move chunky

    Monkey lots of things to grab your derer and rip them off your bike here I barely see a trail yeah it’s kind of insane they love their awkward turns on this Trail which I have nothing against oh I was expecting it to go right woo danger W greasy

    All right this is a good stopping point this might be one of the hardest Trails I’ve ever done it’s by far the hardest Trail I’ve ever done add living lines over here ah darn it I dabbed I dabbed so apparently this Trail has a bunch of uh jumped on it this is called

    LOM line and it’s more similar to the stuffy Road at pra woo Max is hauling butt down this he destroyed that turn kind of scary coming into some of these sections without knowing what I’m getting into oh yeah wo think you case that one a little bit

    This is so good this is I mean it’s kind of like foro but I don’t know this is totally different hi haly I love you I love you do you have a good run what you have a good run I will too I will all

    Right don’t have much time to get to the bottom so right w come on guys didn’t mean to crush our train but trying to get to the bottom ah there you got it oh they’re redoing that where do we go here now these people are like shers still

    Going to give them some room but a nice shortcut okay I’m going to jump on Doodle boss this sh was growing a lot of we point two little rocks here arm pump is starting to build now oh my left hand is like super cramped right now here we go

    All right it’s been a while since I’ve done this Trail remember that jump being a little awkward to clear it’s funny I find this TR to be like I know wher rates it as like the hardest TR but oh all right it’s way better now let’s try up a

    Bit hopefully that person’s all right it’s CLE going to clean’s one right number two thanks buddy that was the fastest lap from the top of the gondola awesome dude how’ it go what your ride ah I’m definitely starting to warm up to this Trail took me like one or two runs to get

    It this one’s a bit of a hit but it’s kind of misleading cuz looks like you’re going to go straight same with that one woohoo a damn it yeah I’m good my ego sucks look I remembered this inside line oh man that’s a little bit hairy okay right here yeah woo oh my

    God whoops this I’m like a I’m going over here so cool no drums this is rad there we go woo yes oh my God woo ah like this one you could see some of this Trail on the way up so but definitely don’t quite know what I’m getting into whoa this lighting is

    Awful all right I think we’re at the bottom random ready watch the game we should probably ride we should probably ride are you good we’re I think I am blinking I I am blinking R the GoPro tells me I need to go all right this time it’s been a good gear well

    Oh almost put it down too early way booser than me a heads up heads up you all right I’m good who it is dark in here camera is not going to like this uh not off drop I don’t think I don’t know hard to tell uh that’s there’s going to be Highline there

    Tomorrow well try it again The High Line I think it’s just going to be kind of more uh standard rut kind of thingo this is so so so incredibly slick even even as a New Englander it’s kind of just uh just fighting for any kind of traction

    So I think once you start pushing yourself too much will be really easy to end up on the ground so though we’ll see how it dries up but judging by how little sunlight gets in there I don’t know I don’t want to say something to early

    But I think I might have just broke my wrist Woo oh it’s a little bit slow in here I For What on the back side of that rock woo that’s cool and I can’t slow down try not to butcher this too bad oops that wasn’t too bad this is Dusty oh all right so this looks promising already walk this land over here

    I love this Trail woohoo all right this part up here is where the trail starts to get pretty dicey it’s TR hard to see how technical this bit is but it’s online options and that one I just showed you is not one of the good ones

    Oops all right at the bottom of the trail they’ve built some a really cool section little big lip little big lip then heads up hey boys how’s it going woo woohoo wooo oo no no no no ah I feel like my back Tire’s getting Low woo oh yeah I can’t remember that’s way too fast blind what the yeah why am I trying to follow you Phil no walking allowed oh dear God do not look down Phil just keep keep going straight keep going straight and just don’t look to the sides really you you fell right there

    You fell off right there got a little Gap woo woo straight into a gauntlet classic slick New England conditions right here all right he’s going this way this is sick this is what I’m talking about there’s absolutely no grip there that’s one of the pro lines I

    Know I think it’s oh yeah no problem wow this off good cuz you can kind like do it all by pumping if I remember there’s another pear line around okay maybe not this one next Bend not that steep just go slow this Trail is like really fun because it’s technical

    In a way that a lot of other Trails aren’t technical field Olive Trails these days are technical because of like big jumps or stuff and this one’s I just old school natural tech oh this one used to be a br line I think Whoa We want to come into it nice and

    Slow and creep down this first rock face so you can creep down the second one you could really haul butt out of that if you wanted to that’s a little bit janky yeah and is Right some of these stupid little sections they are the hardest huh that’s kind of I don’t

    Remember this at all all right I just saw the next thing that I think we should take a look at it’s totally different riding a trail when you’re leading versus when you’re following dare I say sometimes it’s harder to follow but in other cases it’s actually easier God this Spike feels so

    Good I’m really impressed with this sensor let’s check out the sign up here off the drop and then woo that wind all first time hitting this part of the line oh my God it just keeps going I haven’t seen that drop yet so oh they shra this way out woo

    Oo felt the one there woo sh down oh yeah so they’ve made some changes to this Trail until it’s last here but I don’t really remember how this trail goes so doesn’t really matter you know when uh you’re like a section that’s spored by Red wo that’s

    Usually going to be a pretty spicy area nope I want this oh man I remember why I like this Trail too much I used all my tokens there glad I didn’t pull that hard off that I think this is a great example of again man-made Trails but leaving a lot of natural characteristics

    In place I had no idea what this is I don’t even know if this Trail is open I honestly have no idea how I ended up on that trail this looks fresh all right I think we’re oh W ride I think there’s like a pretty cool wooden step down right

    Here this Trail got a lot of Praise so lighting is really tough right now okay I see why he recommended this Trail oh my God oops you know what I don’t know if I’ve hit this on a trail bike woo oh ice ice ice you got to do it oh yeah

    I was mentioning my bike’s a little bit creaky from whist pretty sure most of it is honestly just whoa woo this is so cool is this a teeter totter yeah I won’t follow you oh my God what is this that’s a bad idea that’s what that

    Is it still doesn’t well no I got up to that I was like where does this go I was like it doesn’t go anywhere you woo that was not there this morning that was not there this Morning all right the said this was greasy and she was right oh boy definitely greasy yeah no help come on help come on all right pretty good grip here wooo go this way okay there is a split these I don’t think these are same Trails okay does danger mean the same thing in

    Front oh oh yeah this is a cool rock roll it dry I might talk to Hal about doing that today but all right splash the camera so let make sure it’s dry all right anytime your wheels starts slippering just generally a good idea to let off the brakes just so you can get

    Grip again so sometimes it’s easier said than done especially when you’re going too fast all right some spicy Roots right there they’re all spider Webbed tell you what it’s definitely wors the forearms woo wonder if that’s a g she’s hello dear that was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen there we go oops W oh this Trail is so cool I can’t pedal lost my ability to make speed yeah must have dropped my

    Chain so we’re all coasting from here they have some sick trip ons on this Trail woo woo wait AB City let’s see what this is all about can tell you it’s fast all right so sometimes you come to some of those rocks and it’s like it’s a little bit

    Wet you’re like can I trust you but these rocks are pretty grippy all right that says to slow down so in my lingo that means speed up I should probably listen to it cuz you know sometimes that by you in the butt oh we’re going uphill woo little sneaker straw line a d

    Also that’s a rim Destroyer oh that’s a spicy low turn all right I can just feel the road rash on my elbows if my traction breaks Lo So Pro tip on those kind of turns where where you’re turning and your grip is limited ease off the brakes as much as possible right

    Here where am I going woo w oh yeah lovely oh what is this all right what was that right yeah okay cool oh yeah yeah yeah yeah they definitely freshened up the trail here and there but I’ve mentioned it in the pass but Bolton has like a pretty long history in the downhill

    Sco but Mountain Bikes mountain bike terrain has just changed so much since when these Trails were initially built that they’re so fun to check out from time to time but you kind of need new modern Trails as well you need a balance w it’s actually not as slippery as I was expecting all

    Right now like right to the right of blue jump there’s actually another Trail that’s pretty hard to see if you’re not looking for itoo oh so there was a step down there and I did not even come close to getting it somethingit’s going on back there I think I dropped my chain all

    Right this is uh some proper old school Tech I can see why a lot of people might not like this Trail but it’s good to get a good mix in when you’re riding little bit of tack a little bit of flow a little bit of speed little bit of scenery little bit of

    Everything I know there’s supposed to be a few Pro Line features on this Trail so we’ll see what they are that wasn’t a terrible line all right point of view yeah that is a pretty cool view but I’m not here for the view I’m here for some sketchy awkward route sections okay

    So let’s not go off over there not the TR I went to the right there which is why I went to the right but we you could have gone straight and honestly would have been a way better line Choice sometimes you don’t have luxury to take time to really make good decisions

    Here’s a pro line through here yeah I’m not sure if I’d necessarily call that PR line definitely tricky yep we’ll do that line I’m just on the edge that’s what I was talking about it’s easy to get sucked to get sucked to the side of the trail very cool no

    Hopp don’t go far too too far to the left there it’s nice that they’ve kind of put a few things like into really bad sections oops bad line Choice Phil all right I think this is part of the old show yeah yeah woohoo that part is nasty but also in a good way

    Oh yeah so this is where they cut out the uphill oh yeah that works so much better without itoo sh I turn down let’s go I haven’t hit this jump yet oops that was a really cool jump ah those jumps are really good nice and lofty good

    Hangtime I like that the landing is a little bit hipped so see if we can get the skinny there we go and it’s really hard to trust these BMS right now they’re so dusty I’d been nying that one I think it’s doable but obviously didn’t even come close

    There’s two ways you can do that dip back there you can jump over the hole or mud bog or into it and decide to go then jump into itoo oh that turns so tricky so isn’t that one totally butcher them I hate outros I can never know what you

    Say not sure where we’re going to be riding next but should be good anyway that’s where we’re going to end off this video thanks for watching and I’ll see you guys next time peace peace out C out see you then peace peace peace peace peace peace peace

    1. Phil you are the Jimi Hendrix of mountain biking. Jimi used to do things with his guitar that shouldn’t have been possible and you are so good you do things on a mountain bike that shouldn’t be possible! If anyone has trouble getting out of bed in the morning they should just watch this video!

    2. I can't believe you've listed them all below the video with links… Phil! Your attention to detail is enviable! Thank you for a great season too – love your work dude!! 🔥🤘🏼🙏🏼

    3. Aww yes perfect video to watch and listen to while working. Just Phil talking to me while hearing the tires rolling over the dirt, my happy place! I really appreciate the lack of stupid non copyright music on your videos makes it a lot more enjoyable to listen and watch

    4. moin Phil! Komme gerade vom Forstamt in Minden….kein gutes Gepräch. Bei uns zuhause wird es wohl keine Progression mehr für Mountainbiker geben, man will alle illegalen trails sanktionieren…. leider.

    5. Adrenaline is like a 9/10 just watching this in my office chair (especially the race parts), which has now become something like the Clockwork Orange chair 🙂

    6. Ha, "bumbling and fumbling"! LOL Most of us wish we could bumble and fumble as good as you! 🤣 One of my favorite things I noticed in this video is how during all the actual races hearing all the young kids yell your name and cheer you on! Just goes to show the impression you've made on young riders! That's so rad. Loved this. 🤙

    7. Riding the stationary bike while after work tryjng to get to my high school weight while saving up to fix my bikes that hopefully won't stay stationary too long. Daughter in college and busy at work to pay for it all… Lord Jesus help me!😊

    8. You barreling down Whistler to get in time for your judging down the hill is still one of your best vids. So fast but not forcing yourself past other riders is an example of your riding style and character. Keep it up and some more Hailey rides would be nice too

    9. MAGNIFICENT!! KEEP IT UP MAN….BEST MTB VIDEOS ONLINE. PERIOD! I have to believe the title is a reference to Pinkbike's ASININE video poking fun at most YouTubers' videos as worthless content that is usually a hack rider "bumbling" down the trail. Meanwhile, one of the people making that ridiculous assertion was Henry, who raced that one Enduro race while he was at GMBN, and crashed about 20 feet out of the starting gate (which they replayed OVER and OVER, which was great). Having him make that statement was one of the most ironic things ever, and greatly diminished Pinkbike's credibility with me. Video after video of dirt jumps with Pros doing tricks I never aspire to doesn't interest me in the slightest. They all look the same after awhile. Someone blitzing down trails I might ride one day and trying to gap things that most people wouldn't even think to try….THAT is interesting to me! Thanks for all of the years of amazing content!!

      BTW….when are you coming to Bentonville to ride? You and Haley should come for the Bentonville BikeFest May 23-26. I can put you in touch with the people who could arrange for free lodging etc., if that's something that interests you. You're one of the few big YouTubers who haven't visited, and I think it would be awesome to see you riding our trails, and I know all the Festival goers would love to meet you.
