Man, I just love how quiet your bike is! No chain slap, no internal cables flapping away (my biggest issue), and no angry bee rear hub! Just the sound of the tires on the dirt and sometimes the suspension doing its thing. Love it!
I enjoy the hub sound, but I've also noticed how much quieter its been since he rigged his cables ... Hopefully GT saw and will fix going forward, especially since it's a cheap expense.
I wish more RUclipsrs would show Mountain biking in all of its forms, like this. Mountain Biking is not only about sending it on the biggest gap Jumps. Thanks Phil for my favorite vid of the week.
Her jumping has really impressed me. I would rather see someone hit smaller jumps with goof control than see people hucking big jumps with no control. I see plenty of people who fall into the latter and it scares me. This year something has clicked and Hailey is jumping with way more control than I've ever seen her. It's great to see
This trail is EXACTLY the type of trail I love to ride, both up and down! It actually takes bike skill to ride the tech. I get so tired of riders just bombing easier downhills on RUclips! This is what mountain bike riding is all about, Phil!! Great video, Phil!
Thanks Randy. They have access to some really cool terrain here. There's another trail called Magneto which is a bit slower but more technical especially if you take all the extra credit line. ruclips.net/video/_jDLYPxEjG0/видео.html
This episode was so sick, I’ve never seen trails quite like those! That being said, I’ll leave that technical mess to you and Hailey - I’d be over the bars and off the trail in the first few feet of some of that chunk! Great riding!
''how many signs do you need'' HAHA loved that. Welcome to Quebec, where we need to be extra carefull about eveything concerning mountain bike and where everyone seems to deresponsibilize themselves! Sick video as always Phil! Wolverine is one of my favorite trails in QC!!
Amazing how many people he inspired to ride ... I was in the hospital for almost a month when I found his channel. Didn't even know bike parks existed, so binged Phil, Seth and Nate Hills. Didn't know if I was gonna make it outta that hospital alive, but if I did, I knew I wanted to get into riding ASAP. Now I'm at a bike park pretty much every week (mostly Thunder, Killington and Mountain Creek).
Been watching you for a few weeks now and you've got me back into biking. Went out and bought a 2019 Norco storm 4 and ive been loving every minute of it. Thanks for your awesome videos Phil, love every single one of them
With all the stones, rocks and ledges, thot you were back in New England again... But Quebec, CA is right next door..👍Good riding and you all stay safe..
Wow what a wicked trails!! Very nice use of wood bridges and rock slabs. Love it thanks for sharing. Great video as always and brilliant riding from you and Hayley 🤙
Like that you have your wife in the videos more. My husband is trying to get me to do more riding, it’s nice to see other couples out there. Hope to see her on more! 🙏🤘
Man this trail looks like so much fun. Some of it I probably wouldn’t be able to do at my skill level but I love the slab rock everywhere and the technical aspect of it so much. I’m living vicariously through all of you RUclipsrs at the moment cause I am injured and trying to recover so no riding for me 😕
Wolverine is a bit hard for me too but it's one of the tougher over there...there's a lot of easier trails that this, with rock and slab, that are super fun! ;)
15:06 If you want to go down this, do slab city! It's basically like klondike but downhill with some b-lines at a couple places. Sweet video! Awesome to see you shred Quebec, the trails are really good.
Trust that I love watching you rip down and continue to be amazed at how you see the lines, but damn you can ride some tech up. Track standing with the pogo stick was awesome. Thanks for inspiring.
I'm with you Phil..I really enjoy the technical climbing and technical downhill enduro type stuff but not a huge fan of the radio required to get there. 🤒
Nice one Phil! Now you have to come back to try Granitosaur, Velociraptor and Magneto. At E47 put Descente du Coude, Nosferatu, Pad Religion and Haute-Valkyrie on your itinerary
@@SkillsWithPhil Sentiers is amazing ... Never been to Whistler/BC, but at least from Killington to Kanuga, and everything in between, there's nothing like it.
SDM is awesome but Nosferatu should definitely be your next stop at E47. Best new track in the region this year in my opinion and taste! About the same length as the kingkong but steeper and 30ish + gaps and drops! Really nice build!
Yeah E47 is in general an easier place than Sentier du Moulin but now they have some big trails...Nosferatu would have been perfect for Phil, big drops, jumps and gaps! I don't know if he went but I don't think so... Hope I'm wrong! :P
I've been doing the Wolverine dozens of time and it's crazy to see you gap some of theses things. Hailey did great too, not an easy one no nails first time
Wolverine was really freaking cool. I'd like to go back and try it without stopping now that i know it better. Oddly enough i kind of enjoyed the climb out and back to haute maelstrom almost more. That stuff was super fun and different. What other trails besides Sdm and bromont would you recommend i check out in Quebec if i had back? I have wolf park, e47, VBN and le massif on my radar at some point
@@SkillsWithPhil -Massif only existed for the past two years, super fast and flowy intermediate mountain with a little bit of black diamond only...But the view is amazing -E47 is very progressive, some black like the Pad Religion are great as well as some of the double black like the Descente du Coude and Nosferatu -VBN is more of an adventure place, the Boréal + Légende lap makes you ride in a river with an amazing view on the valley. The Neilson Est, North, South is probably the greatest journey in all Quebec, 32km with some of the best panorama when riding a couples kms next to the Neilson River. Got a big jumpline named Godzilla too -Wolf Bike Park is a small place with big jumps for people to learn and progress, you can spend a couples hours there but there's only a few lines so it's a bit harder to justify a full day there Don't want to promote my own stuff but I have videos of most of the trails I just talked filmed on the channel if you want a quick idea, keep it up Phil
@@FreerideQuebec I was actually going through your videos! It's hard to get a lay of the land without sometimes experiencing a place. In Vermont everybody loves to talk about the kingdom trails, but as a vermonter I rarely go there. Nosfaratu was mentioned by another commenter so that's on my bucket list, but you confirmed my thoughts about wolf bike park being a bit small. I'm going to have to reference your comment, because it was super helpful!
@@SkillsWithPhil My pleasure mate, you might want to consider MSA too. It is known for the world cup DH track but there is some slow tech nasty double black diamond such as the 1837, Tak-tak and Chomeuse comparable to the LB2 at Sentiers du Moulin that are a must for any skilled rider. Everything can by ridden on an enduro bike
@@SkillsWithPhil Another vote for MSA ! I'd say go through Tordue, 1837, Chomeuse then World Cup, in order. I think it would give you a pretty good idea of the place ! Also as good as you are on your Force, you *might* want to try to secure a DH bike to ride there, its pretty legit ! Its plenty rideable with a big enduro but hey :P
That’s a shame there’s two pro lines that were just built. I took a huge spill and got a concussion so wasn’t able to finish, you guys will definitely have to go back for another trip. I live in new York and I’m shocked at how close it is and how amazing the riding is
Pro Line looks more like Jittery Chattery, once you go at low speed, you get a lot of jaults, when you are doing mach1 like pros you just skimm the tops.
Great video as usual mate 👍, I love that you and Hailey ride together and have heaps of fun 🤩 ! I recently got my wife hooked on MTB riding and is fantastic for a relationship when you can do something fun together 😎🤟 Keep up the awsome work ! Cheers 🍻
Hey phil I am a new viewer. I am from denmark and I really like you videos. I am starting to get into moutain biking but I don't know where to start considering we don't really have designated tracks is there any tips you have for people just starting out.
@Skills With Phil Another great video in an awesome park. You should check out the fast growing Wheelerville Trail System in Coroga Lake NY. Amazing downhill trails with a little bit of everything. Fun/easy climbing trails and close enough to stop by the old forge area while you are here.
The TLDR is that she's a Lab Manager and doing research on lung cancer. But in reality she wears a ton of different hats from mentoring students rotating through the lab, to animal lab tech, to bench work, and beyond. She's impressively good at learning new things unprompted and time management.
I have one more video comming. We wanted to try and do Slab city this ride, but given how humid it was that day, our energy levels were low by that point. We ended up staying another day just to ride Slab city and I'm glad we did :)
Does anyone know what gloves Phil uses? I want to try out full finger gloves but am having a difficult time figuring out what ones will work for me. Thanks.
I wish i went tuesday to meet you. I'm riding there next tuesday. I live an hour away, towards Trois-Rivieres. If you have a chance to explore, check out Mont SM near Shawinigan. It's a super well built park, about 1.5 hour from SDM. Enjoy your stay in Québec.
The tricky part about making youtube videos is that people are impatient and won't hesitate to click onto another video. I try to find the balance between giving context to the ride, and moving the story along.
Love the vids. I'm a little surprised how often (it seems) that Phil has to tighten his thru-axles. Is this due to how tech and steep the riding is - higher disc brake ejection forces and more vibration/flex in frame/fork. I'm a much tamer (less skilled/more chicken) XC guy who likes some tech so I don't know how common it is to need to tighten wheels mid-ride. I'm also riding on QR wheels and don't have thru-axles. Thoughts?
When traveling I take my front wheel off to fit it in the car. Sometimes I don't snug the axle down quite enough and it loosens up enough. Since I always carry a multitool it's not an issue.

That whole scammer bs happens to me all the time..i give em one of these🖕
thanks for the headsup... really cool videos keep going
I'd be very surprised if someone who believed these scams existed.
Man, I just love how quiet your bike is! No chain slap, no internal cables flapping away (my biggest issue), and no angry bee rear hub! Just the sound of the tires on the dirt and sometimes the suspension doing its thing. Love it!
He shortly explained what he has done about the inner cables. Not sure which vid this was but was something about using foam i think
I enjoy the hub sound, but I've also noticed how much quieter its been since he rigged his cables ... Hopefully GT saw and will fix going forward, especially since it's a cheap expense.
@@GoobyGobe It was his last video from 6 days ago (mini Whistler in Quebec). Hailey was actually the one who diagnosed it if I recall correctly.
You have a good memory, She pointed it out when we rode killington. :)
@@topspot4834 iknew it was a recent one thanks for pointing it out!

i better be seeing that video on your channel soon 😆
I wish more RUclipsrs would show Mountain biking in all of its forms, like this. Mountain Biking is not only about sending it on the biggest gap Jumps. Thanks Phil for my favorite vid of the week.
Hailey's progression the last 2 years is really impressive!
Her jumping has really impressed me. I would rather see someone hit smaller jumps with goof control than see people hucking big jumps with no control. I see plenty of people who fall into the latter and it scares me. This year something has clicked and Hailey is jumping with way more control than I've ever seen her. It's great to see
Phil building a bike park? hell yeah! I'll be here for it when it happens no matter how far out it may be!
He loves that blend of flow and tech, so it'll be sick ... And you know grip strips will be on every wooden feature 💯✌️
"won't be soon, but eventually probably do something"
Lol sounds like it is a ways off
This trail is EXACTLY the type of trail I love to ride, both up and down! It actually takes bike skill to ride the tech. I get so tired of riders just bombing easier downhills on RUclips! This is what mountain bike riding is all about, Phil!! Great video, Phil!
Thanks Randy. They have access to some really cool terrain here. There's another trail called Magneto which is a bit slower but more technical especially if you take all the extra credit line.

This episode was so sick, I’ve never seen trails quite like those! That being said, I’ll leave that technical mess to you and Hailey - I’d be over the bars and off the trail in the first few feet of some of that chunk! Great riding!
Always a great vid Phil I went from scared to hit drops to now doing blacks and doing gap jumps and big drops you’ve help so much over the last year
That's awesome man! Keep pushing yourself safely!
''how many signs do you need'' HAHA loved that. Welcome to Quebec, where we need to be extra carefull about eveything concerning mountain bike and where everyone seems to deresponsibilize themselves! Sick video as always Phil! Wolverine is one of my favorite trails in QC!!
“That sounded expensive” 😂 been there! Great video Phil. These trails look incredible!
I had the biggest smile watching the beautifully made trails and you killing that tech!
Phil, I just want to say thank you, you got me into this sport and I love it so much ;)
Amazing how many people he inspired to ride ... I was in the hospital for almost a month when I found his channel. Didn't even know bike parks existed, so binged Phil, Seth and Nate Hills. Didn't know if I was gonna make it outta that hospital alive, but if I did, I knew I wanted to get into riding ASAP.
Now I'm at a bike park pretty much every week (mostly Thunder, Killington and Mountain Creek).
This by far one of THE coolest places you have been too! Great vid as always!
One man's rad is another man's hell. Great job Mr Skills.
LOVED the new edits and extra effort put into tell us where you are and what trails your going on! keep up the good work and ride safe!
More awesome content thanks Phil!
Thanks Zach, Glad you liked it :)
Awesome! Thanks for posting this Phil and Haley.
👁️ That did look like a very interesting climb, slabby! Plush trail looks insane. Great work guys. ! 👍👍👍
Oh Boy great to see some content still coming through man, Hope the wrist is feeling better :)
Amazing trail building there!

Nothing like a challenging tech climb, because you did it backwards. Respect for that trials hopping at the end. On an enduro no less.
It is a challenging trail but just not as much as if you do it backwards! 😂
Man this trail looks like so much fun. Some of it I probably wouldn’t be able to do at my skill level but I love the slab rock everywhere and the technical aspect of it so much.

Again, very cool video ✌
15:06 If you want to go down this, do slab city! It's basically like klondike but downhill with some b-lines at a couple places. Sweet video! Awesome to see you shred Quebec, the trails are really good.
I was thinking that while editing the video actually!
This trail looks absolutely amazing and I won't touch it in 100 years cuz I'd break every bone in my body. But you killed it! Crazy good riding.
Awesome videos Phil. Finally pushed me to get back into it myself.
Would be awesome to see you down in New Zealand one day
Nice meeting you at SDM Phil!! Such a surprise to run into you there.
Likewise man! I still can feel the humidity from that weekend when I rewatch the video.
Trust that I love watching you rip down and continue to be amazed at how you see the lines, but damn you can ride some tech up. Track standing with the pogo stick was awesome. Thanks for inspiring.
Phil with the wise words of wisdom. That's one chunky trail!
I'm with you Phil..I really enjoy the technical climbing and technical downhill enduro type stuff but not a huge fan of the radio required to get there. 🤒
I would have gotten soo lost...lol...nice work you two!
Great to include interaction with some fans.
That's part of the fun of riding; running into people from different areas hearing their stories. Mountain bikers are a cool bunch!
Great as always, making days better when a new video is up :D Keep it up man 🔥👌👍🔥
Wow .... Wolverine ... best looking eBike trail I've seen. Perfect for the job
EDIT : and the second trail 😅
being totally disabled at 45 and being stuck inside these make me still tinker with bikes . keep up the great work !!
Become a bike shop mechanic! (If you aren't)
It'll totally allow you to still be in the workings of the bike world :)
Nice one Phil! Now you have to come back to try Granitosaur, Velociraptor and Magneto. At E47 put Descente du Coude, Nosferatu, Pad Religion and Haute-Valkyrie on your itinerary
Granitosaur and Slab city are in the next video :) We weren't planning on riding another day at SDM but we had so much fun that we had to come back.

Sick video like always!
Trails looks amazing!
Wow, Phil's in our neck of the woods!!
Love Phil and Hailey's secret handshake
Phil the colour grading is amazing in this video
I don't have to do much when the colors pop themselves!
So much moisture there, how grippy was the dirt, HERO DIRT? great video!!!
The rock was grippier than the dirt! Most of the dirt was dark organic dirt that can be pretty slippery!
Love that you're in my area 😀
Have someone show you around North Shore of Boston sometime for that kind of granite slab tech. LOVE that stuff. Sadly, I don’t live there anymore.
Awesome cool epik trail 🤘🤘👍❤
Nice to see Hailey is surprising you with her abilities.
Since youre in quebec. You should make a trip to bromont. Idk if you ever went there. Its amazing. 2h30 from quebec
I am genuinely impressed with that high line you hit.
I bet that puts a lot of scratches on inside fork stanchions.
Scratches the lowers a bit but not as bad as it sounded haha
@@SkillsWithPhil Meh... sharpie FTW
This place looks awesome!!
This was fantastic 👍🏽👍🏽
Those trails Look Sick🤘
"I'm not in it for the exercise"- - - You got a darn good workout regardless lol.
Did you guys ride empire 47 while you were there
We rode there before the race and it was super fun
We did not, but I want to make it out there next time I'm in the area.
That’s a shame there’s two pro lines that were just built. I took a huge spill and got a concussion so wasn’t able to finish, you guys will definitely have to go back for another trip. I live in new York and I’m shocked at how close it is and how amazing the riding is
Cool video Phil 🤘🔥
Great video.
Pro Line looks more like Jittery Chattery, once you go at low speed, you get a lot of jaults, when you are doing mach1 like pros you just skimm the tops.

Keep up the awsome work ! Cheers 🍻
Hailey and I met through mountain biking. It’s pretty special to be able to share passion with your significant other. :)
Best trail in Quebec! Sentiers du Moulin ❤
Hey phil I am a new viewer. I am from denmark and I really like you videos. I am starting to get into moutain biking but I don't know where to start considering we don't really have designated tracks is there any tips you have for people just starting out.
@Skills With Phil Another great video in an awesome park. You should check out the fast growing Wheelerville Trail System in Coroga Lake NY. Amazing downhill trails with a little bit of everything. Fun/easy climbing trails and close enough to stop by the old forge area while you are here.
02:45 Now you got me curious because I also work in (kind of) a lab. What exactly does she do?
The TLDR is that she's a Lab Manager and doing research on lung cancer. But in reality she wears a ton of different hats from mentoring students rotating through the lab, to animal lab tech, to bench work, and beyond. She's impressively good at learning new things unprompted and time management.
@@SkillsWithPhil OKAY!!! That's just a galaxy beyond my lab.
She's one helluva woman. Don't you dare ever let her go!
what gears do these guys stay in just a low one?
Bro did an entire double black backwards. Thats insane
I suck at rock gardens....
This looks very beautifull, i'd love trail running this, but on my rigid mtb it would kill me
Those bridges give me the willies.
Nice riding! If you want to ride something like the Klondike climb but better (aka downhill!), you have to try Slab City. 😉
I have one more video comming. We wanted to try and do Slab city this ride, but given how humid it was that day, our energy levels were low by that point. We ended up staying another day just to ride Slab city and I'm glad we did :)

I use these IXS carves amzn.to/3x3aPb5
is the Santa Cruz Chameleon a good beginner bike?
That place is like a Squamish of the east, holy rock slabs.
What mtb bag do you prefer
Phil can climb like a boss
*in very short bursts 😁
i got nervous watching you on the rocks and skinnies!
Hi phil i leave to the Quebec and i like a mont. It is bromont a really good montain for DH
I've raced the quebec cup there many years ago. Very cool place indeed
I wish i went tuesday to meet you. I'm riding there next tuesday. I live an hour away, towards Trois-Rivieres. If you have a chance to explore, check out Mont SM near Shawinigan. It's a super well built park, about 1.5 hour from SDM. Enjoy your stay in Québec.
How do you get your bike so quiet? no chain slap's at all
Welcome to Canada!
you got hops on those stone structures.
What gloves are those ?
Does anyone have a recommendation if gt bikes are any good
Seeing that Haly is with you, how about shots of her riding these features. She must have pretty good skills herself.
The tricky part about making youtube videos is that people are impatient and won't hesitate to click onto another video. I try to find the balance between giving context to the ride, and moving the story along.
Sounds like some deep mtb philosophy.

How's the wrist doing
Love the vids. I'm a little surprised how often (it seems) that Phil has to tighten his thru-axles. Is this due to how tech and steep the riding is - higher disc brake ejection forces and more vibration/flex in frame/fork. I'm a much tamer (less skilled/more chicken) XC guy who likes some tech so I don't know how common it is to need to tighten wheels mid-ride. I'm also riding on QR wheels and don't have thru-axles.
