Riding Mt Prevost: The Most Legendary Trails on Vancouver Island!

- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2022
- Riding The Legendary Mount Prevost Mountain Bike Trails. Mount Prevost is located in Duncan B.C on Vancouver Island about a 2 hour Ferry from the continental Canada. This trail system is where some of the greatest Downhill MTB Racers and Freeriders have cut their teeth such as the likes of Stevie Smith, Mark Wallace, Finn Iles and many more. I knew the Mount Provost Downhill Trails were pretty legendary for a reason, but today I found out why.

Thanks for visiting Phil! Still can't believe you hit most of that stuff blind, you're a mad man!
Thanks for convincing me to swing by the island. Prevost alone was one of the coolest experiences I've had on a bike!
@@SkillsWithPhil next time your in Asheville you should do a group ride like the old days..youve got a lot of fans out here that would love to shred some pisgah with ya..great video like always my guy🤙🤙🤙
Hey Trevor, curious what hydration pack you have! Thanks!
@@jinavl know
DUDE. That was insane to watch.
17:52 that mid air “whoops…” was hilarious this guys skills are almost incomprehensible lol
Oh man that made me giggle. Same when the rolled the road gap.
Seriously. I know he just creates content for the fun and because he enjoys it, but I think Phil is very underrated. I wonder how many people in the mountain bike community on sites like Instagram actually know of him. I have never seen a clip of his shared as a reel for example.
I am so envious, you men are courageous. Im on the edge of my chair as the riders now a day do things we couldn't even imagine could be done on a bike. We had some tough bikes in my day, but no suspension and only Benedick brakes in the 1940s. It was the sudden stops that killed or broke us.I wonder if I would have had the guts to ride like you guys even with the kind of bikes you have.
The good news is if you sent it back then, you would have definitely sent it now!
@@iamdamo Totally!
You start small. All these jumps also exist in much much smaller versions. So they are a challenge for me. Some of the much much smaller ones I still don't do. Guys like Phil, however, are sick to death. I think that's clear.
These guys are professionals!
"What is this?" *sends it* "WHOAAA! HAHA!"
Glad the NOBL guys took you to Prevost 😅
That place is honestly terrifying and so fun at the same time!
watching you hit that creek gap blind is insane, you are wild Phil
Great riding. Even more impressive considering you can’t ride year round on the east coast. You don’t take long to get back to 100% 😂 Love it.
Being off the bike just makes me more hungry too ride when i can. Breaks keep things fresh :)
@@SkillsWithPhil you're not wrong there man. Im on my bike all the time and im constanstly knackered lol
20:17 "What are you, ahhh" - Have to love the blind trail riding commentary
This is for sure (some of) the gnarliest and versatile riding I have seen this year..Holy fuck dude. Love it :D! Those "BMX-jumps" looked so huge..
Doesn't matter where you ride and even if it's the first time you've ridden the trail, you fly bro! Phenomenal stuff, with a laugh. ✌🏻
Wasn't expecting the jump line to be so legit! You laauuunched that one at 17:54 haha
As you know the camera underplays the jumps too! That second to last jump was gnarly. I was not planning on hitting those jumps, but it just felt right at the time.
@@SkillsWithPhil You know they nuts when you hold your breath.
Thanks for your attention to detail with 4K processing, even though I only watch on a 4K display maybe a 1/3 of the time, its bitrate really does make such a massive difference in the viewing experience when it comes to mtb videos, even in a window on a monitor or a phone.
🙏
Back in the older RUclips days, we'd upscale 1080p to 4k just for the better bit rate. It's amazing how much of a different it makes.
@@SkillsWithPhil I still recommend people do that if they're not willing to shoot and edit in 4K, drives me wild seeing otherwise good mtb content ruined but shitty 1080 bitrates!
Hitting those gap blind.. 16:12 "Wait- What is this?" Jeez Phil.. You acclimatized quite fast. Seeing you hitting that last drop with barely a run up was insane. Even Remy and Yohann always take time to analyze those types of features. Lol
So the mad man behind Nobl Wheels rides like a mad man as well. Lol
To answer your tree question:
What you had in your hand was Douglas Fir. Doug fir only grows from coastal northern california, Oregon Washington and halfway up coastal British Columbia but provides 70% of the worlds building and construction Lumber. The coastal forests around the Pacific Northwest are also filled with red and yellow cedar and Hemlock and occasionally some Sitka Spruce. Hardwoods in the boggy wet areas would be mainly Alder and Maple. Once you get towards Kamloops youll see a lot of Ponderosa Pine.
As a born and raised PNW resident and mountain biker, I learned a whole new appreciation for the forests once I started working the logging industry. Plus I get to find the sickest spots to build trails that I otherwise wouldnt have ever known about 🤙
Phil... you need to move there. The way you slayed those trails was INSANE.
Kid not, had this playing at .75 playback speed ... Phil sounded like he was drunk, but that's all that gave it away after watching for 3 minutes. Still thought he was flying at 25% less speed. LEGEND 🔥✌️
One of your better videos/rides. I really enjoyed living vicariously through this one!
Your flow and style is insanely cool man. I just recently got a new bike and I’ve been bingeing your videos to try and learn a thing or two. Big love from New Zealand!
Those trails are so fast! You were sending it like crazy especially after a long winter👍
That’s beautiful! Just a nice ride. No rockets, no air raids, no murders. You are happy person! Love your stuff! Hello🇺🇦
Really enjoyable video Phil! It always amazes me how top-tier riders like yourself ride these trails with such ease. Awesome riding and I just love the stoke factor, great video! 🤙
They are my local trails and now I know how good a rider you are! Nice work Phil!
This is one of my favorite vids for a long time, it looked awesome out there. Great hangtime on the jumps man hahaha.
I've watched your vids for a couple of years. This is my fave by far. So glad you went back to that BMX jump section. That shit was killer!
I'm in the market for wheels. I found I somehow I subscribed your channel so I got back in there and BOOM this is the first video is see in your feed. NOBL WHEELS, YOU SAY? Trevor just got a Black Friday customer. The system works!
21:45
Phil: "Wait, where are we goin'?"
"Uhhhh, down."
🤣
I'd love to see a Yoann, Remy and Steve colab while you are in Canada
hell yea. that would be the dream🤘
This was fantastic. So good, Phil! Loved all of it!
Wicked sick dirt in the woods! Thank you for the great video!🤘
Glad you got the chance to hit these trails. The Whistler videos were really good, but this one was excellent.
I just love how Phil is giggling when he crashes... Absolute legend!
You were definitely feeling the flow through that jump line section. It was like you weren’t so sure about it, but it was just feeling right and you kept it up till that one deep landing. So fun to watch.
Place looks awesome. Solid footage, one of your most unique videos in awhile
Max seems like a really chilled laid back guy who shreds hard :) I like him.
Max is pretty awesome, his camera work is pretty on point too!
What a phenomenal video to wake up to on my birthday! Great riding Phil with some other awesome riders, hope I can make it out to BC someday.
Epic first minute of upload and the video looks so sick already YEW
This channel just keeps getting better and better, so cool.
🎶F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me, N is for any trail anytime at all, out here in the green forestryyyyyyyy 🎶🎶
Love the content keep it up man 😁
Wow, I cannot believe I watched this from start to finish. So envious and so much fun every time there's gap, haha.
Another quality video!!
Thanks Phil
"Which way are we going?"
"Uhhhh down..."
I seriously LOLed.
Your riding is so fun to watch! Simply amazing !!!
Amazing footage. Sick trails.
had no idea that you ripped that hard Phil. Time in tune in on the regular. Super cool vid. Thought about heading down there this weekend. I'm up in Cumberland...but geez, that's over my head I think. Got me very amped for what's in my own backyard though!
I need some time to adapt...then absolutely rip everything that comes up on the trail..epic again Phil.
Man Phil your videos never disappoint, this one was particularely good. Insane riding
Hey phill awesome job in these trails ur amazing!😁😁😁
Edit 1: ur biking is awesome but I have to say that the way u in courage your friends is a whole lot more amazing. Keep up the awesome work👍👍🚲🚲😁😁
Thanks for that amazing video , trails look absolutely stunning
What a BEAST! Amazing rider and great content!
Something we rarely see is 3rd person video of your riding.
Watching pops into orbit is amazing but seeing your body position and movements behind your riding… that’s something I’d pay for. Especially with slow motion explanation.
Sick riding Phil!
For an island boy who now lives on the east coast, I miss the trails out there. Mount Washington especially.. Love watching your ride on the Island Phil !!
This whole video is absolutely terrifying tbh. Great riding Phil, you're a beast!
Thank you Phil for the best video . Your stail and skills incredible !!! It makes me want to go and ride 👍👍👍
Been bingeing on Phil videos and this one made me way more nervous (and I live in the PNW). The sound of the gravel in that soil kept making me think something was going to give way under him at the worst moment. However, Our Hero again prevailed with good humor and grace. #ohmeoflittlefaith
As an islander..... Nice seeing Prevost on your channel. Prevost ain't no joke.
It's always fun getting to experience new places. I'd heard so much about the island but finally experiencing it, i get why is so many incredible riders originate from there. And you aren't kidding, Prevost was quite the introduction!
Hands down one of your best videos !!!!
Came here from the Portal Trail video. Great videos, great rider! 👍
Great riding as always Phil 💪🏻
Stoked to see you ride Prevost. That mountain would be right up your alley.
This is an iconic place. Epic video and your riding was fire.
This is some impressive shit! When it looks gnarly on camera you know it’s insanely gnarly in person.
Awesome video Phil!!
God I love the way you ride and watching your videos! Great content as always
So cool man. That's some decent hang time on those jumps you hit dude. Linking a load like that for the first time, what a buzz dude. The skill's with Phil for sure! (Yeah sorry that was a bit corny)
HI Phil, I really like your videos can't stop watching them.
Bro, you are my favourite rider ever. U inspired me to ride. U are the bestttt

Superb riding boys, what a pleasure to watch!
That was awesome! Hitting most of that blind is unreal!
The BC gnar humbles many people humanizes riders. Amazing riding as always Phil you’re slot of fun to watch

The airtime on those box style boosters was wild. My stomach flipped watching.
This video was sick! Phil’s Rad!!!
Duuuuuude you hit those jumps! Everytime you giggle I giggle lol
No worries Phil .... the better informed of us know they 'forgot' to tell you they were running a 'Shorty' front and back right there 😅😅
Dream trails and killer riding... Phil is the King.
Phil's bottle cage is awesome. it held the bottle while he was
hitting those big jumps.👍
Looks like you’re ready for your EWS 100 race mate. Freaking fast 💨
That drop was huge. Nice man 🤘🏻
