Thanks for the invite, that was a really good time and I was stoked to be a part of it. I'm so glad Lucas walked away from that crash, that could have ended much worse! 😶 Also, Yoann is the man! Don't let this video fool you, he would destroy me in a real enduro race where the stages are 10-15minutes long and not 15 seconds.
@@RD1R, but Phil's not just your garden-variety RUclipsr, he's (or was) a pro DH rider... That would be awesome seeing him competing in a full on enduro race.
That’s how I used to ski moguls. Find the one spot that’s long enough to make a GS arc, launch over a bunch of moguls into the next spot, and keep going. I hated making all those little turns. I learned it from skiing with Tommy Moe.
Phil and Yoann together... guaranteed quality content, two of my favorite crazies!! Damn that was humbling to watch. Here I was proud of hitting a 5 foot drop last weekend hahaha
@@tomroth5115 he may not be racing anymore but he still is a pro I know your point was that he could go back to racing, though, and I'm not arguing with that. just saying...
He’s definitely still got the skills that’s for sure- the difference with the pros comes in the form of discipline and consistency. And that shit gets old 😂 there’s no pressure like pro pressure.
@@iamverycoolyes4484, base on the GT website, Force is their AM trail bike and the Sanction is their Enduro bike. Yoann even said that in 1:05 of the clip.
@David Landrigan, the first time he did Crabapple Hits, he was on a short-travel trail bike in a blind run. His Evil The Calling had 135mm rear and I think at most a 150mm fork when he hit the jumps. On top of that he was wearing a half lid and didn't do any test run, he just needed a tow in. That tow-in guy was on a Giant Glory DH bike with full gear and even then Phil's last jump was higher than his. He's really from another dimension... 😂😂😂
@@lamefart the force ended up being a better bike, hence why the sanction isnt around anymore, the 29er force is a full blown enduro, its a serious weapon going down.
Uhm Phil was a WC DH pro and he still did very well this year on Sea Otter in Pro class (scoring in between the big guns). He doesn't just have the skills, he also has the horses.
Not surprised at all by Phil holding his own. You don't place top 10 in the DH Nationals in the Pro division without being an insanely good rider. Seeing him out there next to some top level EWS riders just goes to show that what he's doing on his channel is very high level, and not something you're going to see on other RUclips channels. I LOVED seeing all of them watch each other, and laugh like that. FULL SEND!

Thanks for coming along and sending it Phil! Let us know when you're back in BC and want to go for a ride!
@@pinkbike and you let us know when you pick Phil up for the next version of the privateer where you send RUclipsrs to train and compete in enduros.
looks like so much fun!

That scrub at 5:45 doe!!!
Phil & Yoann colab series would be awesome.
Though the same
These guys really smash
Make this happen
DO IT!
It's just random gaps at well known trails/parks.
When Yoann laughs I can't help but smile. Him and Phil spending a day together is solid gold.
The best lesson I learned from Phil was that if you don't like a section, just gap it.
That’s how I used to ski moguls. Find the one spot that’s long enough to make a GS arc, launch over a bunch of moguls into the next spot, and keep going. I hated making all those little turns. I learned it from skiing with Tommy Moe.
Phil is such a good rider. Would love to see skills with phil and pinkbike more often!
Alternate title: Yoann Barelli laughing for 10 minutes.
Jackson Dean just needs to tone it down
I love that guy
😂
Sound like the joker 😍
Damn Phil! Good job showing the locals what's up!
SKILLS WITH PHIL slaying it Lately.
Lately? Come on! More like forever 🤟🏻
Yeah true but now ... even on others' channel he is the star. More shenanigans.
Phil you made a few new fans today
That was the smoothest recovery from a huge crash I've ever seen. I wish he'd gotten up and screamed PARKOUR.
😂
Lol Phil was leading the pack on a trail bike. This guys really something else
When the youtuber steals the show - sick Phil!
Phil and Yoann are the dream team. Those dudes are all around f'n awesome! Super positive and super rippers
Phil's the next big thing.
well Phil was a pro dh racer
Had to watch this twice. Phil and Yoann are the dream team. We need more of those two together.
Man this Phil guy has some skills. If only there was a place to learn those skills.
Perhaps even with him
Yeah that would be awesome if he started a RUclips channel called @Skills With Phil
Phil and Yoann together... guaranteed quality content, two of my favorite crazies!!
Damn that was humbling to watch. Here I was proud of hitting a 5 foot drop last weekend hahaha
Keep being proud!! Mtb is always about pushing your limits :)
Looking at this, Phil could still be a pro if he wanted. He's a mad lad 🤙
I think he was a pro. Or at least a pretty successful racer.
@@boringuserhandle yeah he's talked about being a racer before, but bye the looks of it he could easily go back
@@tomroth5115 he may not be racing anymore but he still is a pro
I know your point was that he could go back to racing, though, and I'm not arguing with that. just saying...
@@dummkompf 😂 all good no offense taken, shout have phrased it differently
He’s definitely still got the skills that’s for sure- the difference with the pros comes in the form of discipline and consistency. And that shit gets old 😂 there’s no pressure like pro pressure.
Yoann Barelli is just hilarious. He embodies the spirit of mountain biking for me
Phil is just on another level. So calm, "ill figure it out".. then just sends INSANE shit
Yeah, Phil! Way to get it!
Damn, Phil hitting that gap first was sick!!!!! Nice work Phil!
Phil Kmetz should be a pro again and I love Yoanns infectious enthusiasm all the time.
No, no, he needs to stay a youtuber :P
@@Alcoholic1he can still make vids 😉
A couple that case together stay together ❤️ an inspiring quote
Phil is the MAN! Got to bring in the pros to gap like Phil!! SKILLZZZZZZZ!!!!!!
There are very few things in this world that I enjoy more than hearing a frenchman say "As you can see, you need a sheet ton of speed.."
Lol
i really forget how good phil is
90% of the comments are about Phil 😂🤘
*So Sick!!*
I have to sub to Phil after this. That first try on the rock gap, BALLS OF STEEL!
Phil is the man. So skilled!!!!!
Phil repping the rest of us youtubers well..... even though we have 1/100th of his skill 😅
we also lack his awesome hair, i suspect it gives him magical powers.
When the RUclipsr brings it with the pros 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
But Phil is a pro as well. And pros that actually run quality youtube channels are few and far between so double thumbs up!
Phil is some kind of gap monster.
Never miss one, create new ones.
Clear them all.
Last year the whistler gaps video was my favorite pb whistler video, this year it’s going to be as well!
Wow Phil and Yoann and all the others make for a banger
The way he laughs and cussed too is so halarious
“You haf to caredy a sheeet ton of speed”
Yoann is really in a a class of his own here, which shows how good the EWS top guys are since Yoann is a bit behind those guys. Nice Vid!

Phil is a legend!
I love how in the beginning it’s “you have a race, play it smart”. By the end it’s “Send It^100”. Glad everyone was okay!
Its always great to watch Phil ride & send it.
At 9:43 the sound that bike makes as it's whipped into the ground is crazy. I can't believe that was only a bent pedal...
Phil Phil Phil ... you are the man. So freaking natural! "oh there's a pebble there let's SEND IT!"
People forget how good of a rider Phil is.
Yoann Is such a legend... You just know he would be a blast to ride with, actually Yoann would be a blast to do anything with
I love how Phil just casually coasts through and hits it
I'm a road biker,I was never really into this kind of riding but I gotta admit they make it look a load of fun and laughs
its really cool seeing phil's skills in relation to these pros. phil is obviously good but this just makes it clearer how good he really is
Uhm Phil was a WC DH pro and he still did very well this year on Sea Otter in Pro class (scoring in between the big guns). He doesn't just have the skills, he also has the horses.
@@jmeijer1446 just read his bio. very interesting and well rounded. hes so humble i didn't realize he was a pro
Phil really uncages the beast doesn’t he...
Having phil on this is such a good idea, it makes the atmosphere seem less competitive do it again plz
Phil is such a beast!
Pros hangin w youtube pros.cant get any better than this!
I like that even amongst pros Phil is still impressive. A true testament to his skill.
I love the fact that these guys are always pushing each other, it’s what helps the sport evolve. Keep fighting the good fight motha huckaz. 🤟
So good to see Phil killin it with these guys and absolutely smashing all the gaps. great vid...more like this!
You have to carry a sheeet ton of speed...love it!

Phil got skills 👍
We need more Phil and Yoan I feel like they could get up to no good and it would be crazy entertaining.
I love Joann's reactions. So good.
I always knew Phil was a great rider but this really put it into perspective🤯
Already figured Phil is a monster, but this puts it more in context. Damn!
Amazing skills going on here. That crash was brutal but he seemed to walk away from it just fine!!
Didn't realise Phil was that good. Keep. It up man good work
What the guy said at the first gap is such good advice.
Phil and yoann make everything gold 😂
I could watch that over and over
Kovarik can still teach the young 'uns a thing or two about braaaaping!
Skills with Phil out here styling on yoann barrelli
Couples who case together stay together :D :D :D cheeky boi
Yoann barelli seems like one of the most chill and fun dudes to be around. I’d love to meet him some day
Please we definetly need more of this !!!!!
Why is Phil such a friggin legend
Imagine how much skill you can gain just in one day riding with these guys!
That "yeah I'm good" was priceless 💀

Might be the sketchiest gap in whistler
Phill: hold my beer
Love watching these videos. Just reminds me how bad I suck at riding though.
9:40 was gnarly
Phil killing it as always!
Pinkbike...simply...thank you!
“Couples who case together stay together” 😂😭
