- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Skidmarks is a mountain bike trail built in 2023. The trail is located in Bolton, Vermont at a network called The Driving Range. At the Driving Range, every trail is adaptive mountain bike accessible. The build of Skidmarks is largely BC inspired and is a black diamond - double black diamond rated trail for adaptive and two wheeled bikes with optional pro line features throughout. My wife, Hailey and I built this trail as volunteers and we are very proud of the work we put into it!

I've seen the pro-line features on this trail in person and they are gnarly. the combo of amazing riding by Phil and the "go pro effect" make them seem tame, but they are not.
You and Hailey should absolutely be proud -- the finished trail looks sick! It's got me motivated to progress my riding skills so I can come shred it one day 🤘
Lord that’s an amazing trail!!!
Skid Marks is a great name. I can never get enough poop jokes.
Shitty jokes only get better with age.
Fun!
Congratulations guys, it looks awesome!
Man that trail looks like so much fun, you guys killed it!! Can't wait to ride this at some point...
This is so impressive, both your riding and the trailcraft you've accomplished. Great work guys!
Hell yeah
This looks like one of the best trails in all of the northeast. Can't wait to ride it!
That looks amazing! Coming to Vermont in a month, might have to find my way over there
well done !😃👍
look so sick
Trail looks awesome!
Looking forward to hitting the B line at 1/4th this pace!
Awesome trail
4th!
Love the name! Very much want to hit it.
I'll probably grab a shirt to support you guy's and all the content you share. That said, just know I'm going to have to hear a ton of poop jokes when people see it 😄
Let’s see it without the pro lines. Hope to ride it when I’m visiting Vermont this summer!
I mix it up every run. This run though i wanted to make a point to hit every pro line. The b lines are equally as fun, and have some have extra credit options too. I do have footage in my building videos of the b lines if you're interested.
nah that steep section ain’t it Phil you’re a menace 😂
I went to order a t shirt but you don't send to Australia. Great trail Phi. You and Haley should be proud 👍
Thank you!
Ah sorry about that! I'm working with a local company for printing and fulfillment. I think we are just doing North America right now, shipping gets stupid expensive for international orders. I'm still figuring out merch. I've used other services but the quality sucked, so i opted to use a trusted local shop.
@@SkillsWithPhil I get it …. all good 👍
i was the 1k like!
This looks amazing! I would love to see another run without the strong fish-lens perspective though
Fish eye makes it cool and look probably as steep as it feels
So... linking the 2 trails together...we get "Heavy Duty Skid Marks?"
Or Heavy Doody Skidmarks - You decide.
First… this is my first time being first 🤣
Lol cool I got my first first yesterday with Jesse Melameds latest video. 😎
@@jeffwatson9890 hahaha
the boulder at 2:42 looks like it could use an optional line
I thought about it, but had some time constraints and came to the conclusion the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. This trail was mostly built by two people, and i only have so much energy and time. We had a lot of people tell us they wanted to come help but when i gave a time/place very few actually showed up.
@@SkillsWithPhil completely understandable; my brain just went "hey, wait a tick"
@@SkillsWithPhil Yeah that sounds like a classic problem
Hey Phil, is this filmed with the GoPro 360?
No, this is a GoPro with a the max lens mod. It looks better when mounted to the chin, but I've been playing around with mounting it under my visor on a halfshell. 360 cams are a pain in the butt to use in their current form.
Hi
This trail made me eat shit
Insanity
Too much fish eye. It makes me a little sick.
You should have named it „Black Flys“ 🪰😅
