- David Lieb is a Professional Slopestyle who competes at FMB tour events across the world. In 2019 Dave won the US Open and today we are lucky enough to be following him down the jump trails at Highland Mountain bike park in New Hampshire. Highlands is one of the best bike parks in America and is definitely worth the trip if you're on the east coast.

Following A Pro Slopestyle Rider Down Highland Mountain! | David Lieb
Mountain Biker Chases A Pro Rider Down A Bike Park
#Mountainbiking #BikePark #highlandmountain
I sometimes forget that you're a beast of a mountain biker after you have done your backyard trails.
Ikr😅
spread the gospel
Everyone wish David good luck in Crankworx Innsbruck!
Yup, he's in Europe as we speak!
He’s gonna kill it!
I met Johann Potgieter yesterday and he’s also going to Europe
Thank you!!!
@@DavidLiebBIKE good luck brother 🤙
Quick corrections:
1. I have the bad habit of mispronouncing his last name even though we're good friends. His last name, Lieb is pronounced LEEB, not Lee-eb.
2. This was my second time at a bike park on the Force 29. I took it to Killington once last year but wasn't recording. Because of the pandemic, I stayed away from bike parks last year, but now that things are returning to normal we'll be mixing these videos back in periodically.
2. Sounds amazing man 🔥👌
The more the merrier Phil ... You could make a 20 minute video riding Highland every week and I'd watch every second.
One minor critique though, maybe just try and ride level and not do so many tricks a couple runs so we get a better shot of David.
Probably mixing up the wheels?
Great shape, great riding, great video.. Skills.. Thanks for that!
It’s great to see you sending it again at bike parks Phil 👊ciao! Gaetano
3. Thanks for playing bikes with you today?
14:50 and that little segment was some pure poetry man... Homie manualing the berm, then all 3 of you taking different lines off the whale tail hopping around the forest and then back in formation without fault. Super cool to see when riders have good chemistry and awareness with each other! =D
I'm happy somebody caught that! It was one of the highlights for me from that day. :)
@@SkillsWithPhil my favorite part of this ride too. The three of y’all shredding was super cool, and you are all super friendly and chill on camera :)
Came to the comments when it hit this part to see if anyone else's mind was blown here lol. I replayed that berm manual like 10 times, shit was beyond fucking sick
spread the gospel
Damn this guy really is smooth
Super Smooth.
Yes bro, mind blowing performance ⚔👌
Dude this was one of the best videos you’ve put out in some time. Get out there with people, that’s what makes your channel so great.
Hell yeah listening to the stoke makes it so much better
Phil watching David nose manual the wooden feature: "That was ridiculous"
Me wathing Phil regular manual the same feature: "That was ridiculous"
Me watching all of it: That is rediculous
You guy’s spelling: ridiculous. 😁
@@keirfarnum6811 here I fixed it, you happy now KEIR
Everyone : let’s ride a blue trail to warm up
Them : let’s warm up on hellion
wild
Hellion is the perfect warm up jump trail...
@@Projectnortheast ikr
Cats paw for me 🤣🤣🤣
These groomed trails are all easy baby food. Try riding in Vietnam, MA or any thing in new England lol
My dad introduced me into your videos a few weeks ago and you've inspired me to get into mountain biking myself. Been loving the trails and hope to hit some of these kinds of parks one day.
Your dad has good taste 😉
@@SkillsWithPhil frreerrrdrugs
So good to see you back at highland, it’s so cool to see such a good rider shred my local bike park
Awesome Bikepark !
Three of the nicest guys with the meanest moves.
I love how everybody is just screaming behind you at 20:18
I thought he was gonna crash with the tree at 20:16, maybe that's why they were screaming LOL
Good times Phil!!! Come back soon 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Yes more highland content!!!
I didn't think Phil could do slope, because I had never seen him do it. Never mind.
I won the amateur slope contest at highland when i was 18, but downhill racing was more my thing.
Next thing you know, he’ll pull a cash roll on his 29er
@@kroozctrl6284 David could teach him some new stuff
Stupid noob question perhaps but how does this riding differentiate from DH or “trail riding”? Since it was a mountain I had assumed it was DH or trails/bike park.
@@andrer3764 Park riding doesn’t really have one certain type of trail. Usually when you find machine-cut trails, it is at a bike park, but there are tons kinds of trails. There are jumps, tech, and flow, but they are all lift accessible and you don’t have to climb up. That being said, you could take a modern trail bike on most of the stuff at Highland.
Sweeeeet.
I like the trail building, but watching Phil do his magic on a bike is the best content on RUclips imo.
No one can get me as stoked to get on my bike as Phil.
Your videos make me want to hit the bikepark ASAP
Ok, I'll say it... Phil is probably the best mountain bike youtuber out there!
"Probably" lol
probably the fastest too...
Seth : I feel attacked 🤧
Actually they're friends tho 😅
Phil: Yeah I like a silent hub so I can focus
This guy: That’s a negative freerider
so…. when are you going to highland
😈
I see you.
@@SkillsWithPhil 😳
All the giggling at 18:38 is hilarious. Makes my day. Now I wanna go for a ride for sure today.
David is such a fricking good rider, and an even nicer guy! Got to meet him at Highland after he blew my mind with a backflip tuck no-hander off the redbull ramp. So dope. Hope he wins Crankworx!!
This gets my vote for The best POV video of the year
The speed, the crazy skill
👍
Are this guys rocking 27,5" wheels? Been out of the game for a longer time, is 26" still relevant?
watching him land in a manual is so satisfying
I love how Phil can follow these pros down the gnarly trails and still be able to send gaps and massive whips while taking to us
Wait...There are jumps that scare you?!?!
This was a great video to watch as a study break. I’m getting certified as an outdoor emergency care technician to become a bike patroller at my local park over the summer, and it’s a lot of reading. Keep up the bike park content, I’m loving it.
omg those guys are like "press X for manual and B to jump"
Awesome Day on the mountain! Sick edit boys!
@20:10 for “the gap”
David seems like a super humble awesome guy. I'm an instant fan.
i often see videos where riders are followed by a camera and its like they get nervous or think they have something to prove and star doing awkward stuff while riding and things like that, but David he is just chill and smoth and shreds down the trail with no problem. love it
0:00 those kids were me 😂
whats that little trick david does on small bumps where he kinda whips his rear wheel to the side and skids the bump? theres one at 18:28
watching these videos while on my stationary bike is quickly becoming one of my favorite things
Hey Phil, what handlebar clamp do you have?
I live 45 minutes away from highland
How much travel do you got front and rear and how wide are your front tyres
Woow you guys are beasts 💪
Damn ya'll are both really good!! Great video
finally another dh park vid this is awesome!
Phil, are you coaching Ayr Academy this year? I am doing it in August and I would love to meet you!
No not this year.
Nice! Theres like no one there. When is the best time to go ?? I’m thinking of going mid week next week.
Midweek for sure, the lift lines are shorter.
@@SkillsWithPhil cool thanks
@@SkillsWithPhil what’s that trail @6:15 it looks rly fun
Slalom course. Take the trail reef around to get to it.
@@SkillsWithPhil 👍 I’ll have to check it out when I go
Just curious, does the fame and recognition ever get to you?
I'm pretty introverted quite socially awkward. Having people come up to you while you are in underwear and changing into riding clothes crosses the line and it happens often. I like talking to people one on one though, i just don't know how to process 100 people trying to talk to me at once. I'm human, i like people, but some days I need my space too.
@@SkillsWithPhil I totally get that. I'm pretty socially awkward myself, I have enough trouble with my own friends haha. I guess that's the price you pay for doing awesome things
Phil is so good at line choice! He sometimes makes so amazing split second desicions. Do you ever fall?
Smooth like butter
19:54 what🤯
EXCELLENT video....great riding.
They need to make a new trail rating.... "Phil Diamond"
Is it a good idea to use clip-ins for MTB trails and/or bike park trails?
I don't run them and with good shoes and pedals i don't think it's worth it.
@@SkillsWithPhil that is the truth!!
6:22 jeez
I didn't realize there was a turn in the landing until too late haha
David lieb my favorite rider! A highland Legend!
Alternate title: an absolutely goated beast chasing a slope style rider
So sick to watch the slope run. I Just listened to an “Unclicked” podcast last night and they made a remark stating that you’re never gonna meet a professional baseball player at the local field, but how in BMX / actions sport it’s common meet professional riders at the local hill. Thanks so much for the entertainment, I’m definitely gonna check out some gaps next trip. 🤘
22:21 When you are standing there trying to decide if you are finally going to attempt a drop and these two guys come by and make it look simple.
Sick! Can’t believe I’m in the vid🤯
OH THANK GOD!!! if I had to watch another video of you building a trail just to support your channel I would have, well, probably watched it...
What's you camera set up? its so smooth.
Hot damn! That was so fun to watch from start to finish despite making me feel terrible about my lack of Highland ninja line skills!
Me: New trail lets take it nice and easy
Phil: Lets throw stezzy whips
That was absolutely amazing!
Another great vid! This guy is nasty but so are you phil cant wait to ride here soon!
This just looks like a ridiculous amount of fun. Closest I'll probably ever get to it though is Riders Republic.
Geez Phil! I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now. Watching you this last year during lockdown I somehow forgot how fast and incredibly skilled you are as a rider! This video was insane! Thanks for the reminder 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yes! The perfectly crafted videos where he somehow gaps on a rock garden straight into a super gnarly rock slab 😂
Please could you explain your GoPro setup? As in where is your GoPro mounted and which one you use? Is there anyway you could share you settings aswell?
My settings have been basically the same for the past few years. Only difference is now I use a Hero 9 vs the 7.

@@SkillsWithPhil awesome! Thanks Phil
Best content. Hey Phil, are you gonna visit NC anytime soon?
Phil, would love to see you at one of our wednesduro mini enduro races this summer. Would make for a fun video too!
is this finally someone who can match phil's send level?
15:10 Shout-out to the inspiration for "Bob's Bobsled"
Yeah I love BCPOV
so much style 🥵🔥
18:57 kids were trying to steal your bikes...
They're employees that unload and load bikes
That was SO smooth, it's almost hypnotizing. Great job, I was watching in awe haha
We want more of these "Following a Pro" videos man🔥🔥🔥
comment for engagement
What do you edit on
X bmx rider here (bmx connections in abundance in mtb huh? ).. started at pretty much the beginning in 1976 as the youngest rider on the team @8... then started again with my son @ 30yo riding what else? A Gt speed series 24" (clydesdale+ lol 6ft3 280lb ) he was a MtDew team rider on a Powerlite ( those powerbend handlebars need to find mountain biking) Well long story long.. he's now getting into mountain biking in Colorado and I live in Northern Michigan.. he called me up and low and behold I bought a Fat Bike and he had a Specialized Enduro on order(he actually got it right at the beginning of covid luckily) strangely enough we didn't know either of us were buying bikes again.. he's now 33 and im 52 .. funny that! We both watched Phil through 2020 and I watched Seth and Singletrack Sampler.. TY Phil, all your videos were a lifesaver! No thinking just watch and smile. TY 1000x...btw Phil breathing a little heavier than normal? Maybe im imagining it but I definitely feel your pain. You're an amazing rider!
i wish i had a brother and that brother was Phil...
Can we campaign to get his picture in the dictionary under Good Dude. . . ?
Seriously, he's the type of guy who's jus plain nice and if the local Hells Angels heard some guys beat him up...
They'd be out for blood.
...and Phil wouldn't even know about it.
"Phil? The Bike Kid?! You shittin me? The Skills guy, right? ....They did what?......Lets find those assholes and shove their heads up em !"
Meanwhile Phil only knows a bunch o bikers once smiled at him and beeped their horns and he waved back at them.
THAT'S the kinda Good Dude Phil is.
Either it's that or we get his photo under the word Skill.. . . . . ;)
I love my GT Force! Cant wait to take it to Highland!
Social Media has played a major part in the MTB community's understanding of technological growth inside the MTB industry.
CRAZY TRAILS MAN! LOVED THE VIDEO
@Skills With Phil
Logistics question: What kind of camera do you use? And where do you have it mounted? Go Pro/Helmet mount or what? I ask because I want to start recording my rides.
@Skills With Phil hey bro Im looking at a 2021 RM THUNDERBOLT A10 what do you think about it?
22:05 can we just appreciate that nose manual 🤯
You're like the dirt version of Terry Barentsen...loving your vids bro...scary AF though!
Whats your average speed on stuff like this? Do you have strava or somthing that tells you?Did my first bike park at big bear snow summit avg speed 12 max 30. 18 miles.
dang. every time i see you ride i'm blown away by how playful and poppy and smooth you can be on a MTB while getting insane air at the same time. its like you were born with wheels instead of legs, rofl. i really hope i can ride 25% that well some day :) (my 2nd season now and having an absolute blast) just gonna throw this out there too...i would be wicked happy to trade you a week of manual labor breaking rocks and shoveling dirt for a day of riding instruction :) i'm fully vaccinated too, lemme know if you want some help :)
props to my dude from Michigan..........he burned that course up!! sweet vids
Nice video!
Really enjoy your videos. Great stuff. I have been a roadie all my life and got into mountain biking about 3 years ago and now my road bike is on my trainer. Just purchased a new trek fuel 9.8. Pedal safe
Also those gaps you guys find. It's crazy man jumping off every little root and rock. So sick!
It's so sad, that I will never be as smooth on a bike as you guys! ...we in Austria are born on skies (and very good at it :D) but biking came very late to our country... so I had and have to learn it the hard way :-/ ... thank god that it has some similarity to sking :-)
If i tried any of this not only would the person infront of me be dead, i'd be dead & then someone off on some other track is also catching a bike to the side of the head cause wtf was that xD
killington is just getting opened up. hopefully they get black and blue magic up ASAP hopefully by now
Any time you do trains i right away think “Black Betty” - Spiderbait (banjo version) if I was in a train I’d definitely be playing that on a speaker haha
I've never done this before. Is there a specific name for it? I wanna try this myself so bad lol
Man I know you want to get closer video but why do so many riders glide up the buttocks of the biker in front of them? Should leave at least another 2-5ft of space between.
how old are you? And curious how much you weigh and your height and bike size? Just wondering for myself and my bike size I should look at for Down hill
Uh Phil? Where's the hair buddy?! Please tell me the mane is still tucked away under the hat!
Looks like the new GT is dialed in pretty well. How are you liking it?
