MOUNTAIN BIKING IN NEW YORK?! ...but it's actually not what you think. // Lake Placid, Whiteface MTB

- New York has more than just traffic, tall buildings, and loud noises. It's home to one of the biggest parks, with scenic mountains, wildlife and lots of Mountain Biking. Today Hailey and I explore the MTB trails in Lake Placid and Whiteface regions of the Adirondack Mountains
Thanks to Adirondacks USA and I love New York for sponsoring this video.

I love how you and Hailey can go riding together. She isnt afraid of anything!
I’m glad you still keep her in your videos despite the jerks with nasty comments. Good chemistry together in the videos. I like the contrast between pro riding and seeing things through her eyes as a newer rider.
@@330_Crew I don't think she's a new rider? Phil is just insanely fast that anything in contrast looks a lot slower
@@gucass I think Hayley represents a large amount of regular mountain bikers, and Phil shows the vast difference between "regular" and "pro" level which is great to see from both angles.
@@gucass she used to be a pro dh racer I think, but she crashed and got injured, so she's been afraid to go fast and send big stuff again :(
Ayyy Alex G.
Dude I like the back and forth vid between you and your girl it's like seeing how I wish to progress to where i actually am. No dis to Hallie she's a bad ass to it's good to see that average mortals like myself can go to these places that you just seem to fly over. keep it up Super Phil. I think you've got the best riding style on the U-tubes.
Sums up my thoughts also
So awesome to see great RUclipsrs checking out the Adirondacks! I moved to Colorado a couple months ago from the Glens Falls area. One thing they haven't figured out out here is the ice cream. Stewart's alone tops anything in Denver! Just visited home a couple weeks ago and found a day to get over to Killington. What a blast that place is!
Charles what are you doing here?
I like the Hailey perspective. It's the way I'd ride.
I WISH I could ride as well as Hailey-
"He went through there... very fast"
That made me chuckle.
I am from upstate NY and love to ride Lake Placid … and love the shout out to Stewarts shops!
Ayy Stewart’s on top
Tim Morford yah I do to
Tim Morford I live in Chestertown 40 min down northway from the exit
Murtagh Ryan same
Big shout out the "Crumbs along the Mohawk" ice cream from Stuart's. amazing
Congrats on 300K Phil!!
I think this is one of the best videos I've seen you do. Loved swapping perspectives between you and Hailey, it works really well and shows that a regular mortal can still ride the stuff that you shred down.
What I love about your vids Phil is that you always just sound like a kid in a sweet shop (candy store), so totally happy as hell to be on your bike. I always get the sense that you'd sound that excited riding to the shop to pick up milk. Keep them coming Phil... MORE MORE!
Thank you Phil for doing a vid in Northern N.Y.! I'd highly recommend checking out Mount Pisgah in Saranac Lake when you come up through again. Additionally there are a lot of public multi-use trails in the Northern Franklin County area that can get pretty gnarly and technical. Hidden gems for shure!
We've got some gems a little bit farther north too!
Great editing on this Phil. The swapping between you and Hailey showed great perspective!
Very Wholesome quality video. I really enjoyed the camera shots and narration. 10/10
Hey Phil, try the Catskills next! Beautiful trails, TONS of elevation, the dirt is beautiful, lots of singletrack and tech. Beautiful footage by the way, you’re an inspiration my dude!
Haley absolutely shredding!!!! You go girl!! Glad to see you in more videos
Such a cool bike park. Just like doing a normal trail ride but get to ride a cable car back to the top! I love Haileys commentary to herself while she’s riding too. So awesome! Love that you guys ride together. Couple goals right there 😊 hoping my wife will be able to come riding more often, once our kids are a bit older!
Really nice to hear the laughs and giggles and enjoyment of these two people being out riding... cheered me up!!
Nice Phil! You guys are awesome. I'm glad that you had a good time. Come back any day!
I really need to take a drive up there since its not too far away Whiteface looks amazing all that chunky goodness one of the best parts of riding in northeast all the glacial erratics. Props to the dude that helped Hailey cross the river "Where did they go" "Through their REALLY FAST" lol.
I think this is one of your best videos yet! Keep up the great work!
Phil, you missed out by not hitting up the trails on the parking lot side of the road at the Hardy Road trail system. Ante Up and All In are gnarly climbs up, but a blast to come down! Awesome to see upstate NY getting some love. Keep up the awesome work!
I did ride ante up and all in, and they are in the video. :)
@@SkillsWithPhil my bad, it's hard to tell from the footage
@@SkillsWithPhil my bad, unfortunately it all kinda looks the same on video.
I’ve skied a lot of the glades your biking on, it’s cool to see it during the summer
congrats on 300K and great video!
I just love how it goes from maniac Phil to peaceful and calm Hailey. Loving it.
Just rode Whiteface last week. Such a good downhill bike park with loads of technical trails!
That was totally Mike! My boyfriend's co-worker! Hahahaha, sick! Next time you're up here you should totally check it Mount Pisgah. If you make it to Saranac Lake, you've got to stop at Donnelly's for some ice cream. Also, in the spring, Pisgah is completely covered in ramps, it would make for a beautiful video. Love your videos!
That was one of the places that we wanted to go but couldn't quite fit in! Thanks for the trail and ice cream recommendation :)
looks like you rode with Ladue. That guys is the man, he is always up there riding willing to show new riders around the mountain.
It's a great place any time of year. Skiing, hiking, rock/ice climbing, anything you want. Hard to believe it is in the same country, much less state, as NYC.
Awesome, will be in Placid with bike week of Labor Day, for sure gonna check out a few of these.
See you at The Face!
Mike Scheur I’ve only got a mid travel trail bike, is safe to assume the face rents out enduro and DH bikes?
Your bike would be fine on almost all of our trails. We rent out Trances (mid-travel) and Glory's. www.downhillmike.com for info on the bike park. Thanks!
What a great video!!! Thanks guys. Congrats on 300k!! Used to ride out east and all that rocky goodness brought back fond memories. PNW loam is a stark contrast.
This looks stupid fun. Can't believe I haven't been up there yet. Thanks for the upload, PK!
That was a cool video. I spent a lot of time in Lake Placid, love it...
It's such an underrated area
@@SkillsWithPhil it’s growing like mad too. If some of the new trail plans go through it’s going to be wild
Where is the trail head to the wooden drop (think it’s called steamroller ?). I’ve been all over luci and craigswood and can’t find it !
Love the changing of perspective between yourself and Hailey! Keep rocking it girl!
I've only just come across this channel and am just getting into mountain biking here in Australia I went and bought a Norco Shore 2 for $400 bucks the other day and it's an absolute beast! Seeing this video with Hayley in it was awesome she seems like a sweetheart love the channel and definetley subscribed!
I really wish NY would open up more of the Wilderness areas to bikes so you could explore even more. My family has a Cabin in Newcomb NY and love the mountains up there
S Squared Design Works you should check out the riding at Gore.
@@penitentchicken I really need to bring my bikes next time I head up there. Often I end up in the water in a canoe or kayak as the family cabin is on a lake.
There is so much untapped revenue from the MTB community. The ADK bends over backwards for the ski business, snowmobiling, yet the 3 seasons that MTBers look for trails, for parks….there could be more. We have to ADK and all the possibilities. We are in competition for the adventure minded. The west seems to be more open to the business.
Thanks, Phil! For more details on the Whiteface Mountain Bike Park, please visit: www.downhillmike.com
Thanks Mike for everything! I've added a the link in the description!
Downhill Mike, you are great!!!
Phil, you too!!!
Thanks for the video Phil! I have a lot of love for these trails and I spent a lot of my first year of riding up there. Really cool to see you shred them.
That looked like one helluva fun trip! Great selection of eats too, Arizona Green Tea, Sour Patch Kids, chicken fingers!!
Ooooooo the blue and yellow colors make my artist brain ahhhh soooo clean!
Hey I love how you and hailie ride together. I really want to see some hailie centered videos and progression videos
Congratulations on 300k!!!
I’m the kid with the purple Santa Cruz from Suicide 6
Gratz for the 300k!
GT has been a good companion throughout years. I owned
-Karakoram
-Zaskar LE
-RTS
-LTS and yesss...I am old. 👍
New York has all you need!!!
We live in the capital region and we own property in the ADK. I’ve been an upstate New Yorker most of my life and don’t care to live anywhere else. The ADK has so much to offer. Nice to see the tourists discovering our woods, not much smooth , rocks and more rocks!!
Your bike needs some tender loving care🤣 Awesome video by the way!🤘🏼 Keep sendin' it!🤟🏼
Have you ridden windham bike park in the Catskill mountains?
Yes Sir, I've raced there plenty of times
www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/RESULTS-Qualifying-from-Windham-World-Cup-Downhill,898
Murtagh Ryan haha Same, for Nica championships
As a truck driver, I have always wondered if the Adirondack State Park had any MTB parks or good riding trails. I just came through there yesterday on my way to Montreal and will pass back through tomorrow going right past the Lake Placid exit. That was a good video Phil! Thx for that info!!
Stop in and rent a bike and gear!
That's awesome I never new there was trails in New York gonna have to visit there some times 👍
That's the problem with new york state - if it isn't the state fair, the city, or skiing, they do very little to promote it. But it's starting to turn around.
And thanks Phil for sharing/promoting.
There 1000s of trails in the old big apple
Lake Placid and some areas of the Catskills aside, upstate New York has perfect terrain for awesome mountain bike trails, but we are lagging behind our New England brothers as far as trail access and development goes. It's good to see progress is being made!
Yes! i've been waiting for phil to upload!
It’s so funny to see you flying down the trail and then cut to Hailey cruising and talking about not breaking her derailer.
Great riding and trail. Haley is so funny.
I must say it was great how you showed both perspectives! 🤘
Nice video...but I really am glad Hailey is getting more coverage. It's fun to see her POV on the trail. She's chill and I like her! (Sour patch kids candy is yummy)..Show more of Hailey. It's cool to see you together. 😊
Can you do a colab with Blake Samson next time your at whistler
I'd love to see Phil ride with Blake Sampson and Sam pilgrim. Those guys could all push each other to do some amazing stuff.
Dude..your vids are like a cartoon show...its pretty cool...and pretty entertaining..big fan..
Loved the rocky chunk on those trails...looked like a blast! Hailey-cam was awesome! Not going to lie, I greatly prefer when you wear the 7 on the chin mount, but that's being nit picky. Your videos are still the first ones I click on in my feed...always!
I'm convinced that you might be one of the most talented mtb vloggers
Makes me happy to see you showcasing theses trails some of the first trails I rode so thank you. Phil there are some very nice trails here in central Vermont that could really use someone just to show that there there and your definitely the man for the job so if you could jump in the car and half an hr from Burlington south on rt. 7 hit up mooselamoo rec. area and silver lake you would be doing a great thing for us.
I live so close to the 'dacks
One of Most beautiful scenery ever. Go to lake placid and hike some of the high peaks!!! Wilmington has a bike park as well
A perfect mixture of every kind of riding and some fantastic views!
That spot you said tripped you up, tripped me up and I was only watching the vid. That's what makes video's good 👍
Its a wild mountain. The line to the left is actually easier but looks mega sketch aha
@@schofell84 I flinched when the camera showed what was around that rock 😀
So fun to see you an Hailey riding together!
Who manuals a step up like that. Ummm Phil does. Awesome video man. This is a beautiful place
Thoroughly enjoyed the dual perspectives, another great vid!
This is the first place I tried mountain biking back in 2000, I made two trips down and spent most of it on foot, but all those gnarly sections through the woods on trails like Empire had me hooked.
NY state has a lot of great riding. Great video Phil, thanks
Super chill videos man, youre great.
I go to Lake Placid all the time and I've always seen the mountain bikes, but I never knew this challenge existed
I love only an hour and a half from lake placid and I go skiing up there all the time, it’s so weird to see RUclipsrs in upstate New York
cant believe that Hailey is clipped in that takes some serious commitment, something i need to work on
It’s hard to believe that such a big mountain biker like you have come to my hometown. There are some good trails about an hour away such as gurney lane and vandusen and for downhill we have west mountain. You should stop bit
Awesome as always! Dig the matching bikes.
Haley is so cute! AND positive throughout, even though we all know how bad it can suck to ride a trail outside your current skill level! 😁🤙
If you come back to the city make sure to visit queens and check out Cunningham park. Some really raw and tough trails there with a few steep climbs and tech. There’s also some big dirt jumps and a pump track too
I really enjoy your videos, looking forward to the next one already
Dude , I’m literally eating Stewart’s ice cream while watching this guy eat Stewart’s ice cream, btw my favorite flavor in is peanut butter pandemonium
Ford smith this was a while ago, but peanut butter pandemonium from Stewart’s is my girl friends favorite ice cream.
I'm so pumped about the Stewart's shoutout. I miss having one across from where I lived, they have everything you need. No Stewart's in Vermont's NEK.
Camped/hiked in this area last summer and I was wondering the whole time if there was any good riding in the area. Def gonna go back sometime with my MTB! Thanks for the vid, Phil :)
Come to east Europe. There are some great trials in the Carpati mountains in Romania.
Hey Phil, luv your videos, they inspire me to ride harder! Eventually I'll be as gnarly as Hailey( hope spelling is correct)...maybe someday. Keep it up yo! -Andy from Austin
Loved it !
I love your channel and I learned so much from you
Super cool video! Excellent riding.
Everything looks so easy for Phil.
'Lets put the bike first.. and climb down'.. :O)
Dude, that was hilarious! Love your girlfriend!
You gotta give her a camera more often!
Great video man. Keep up the great work
I’m from upstate Rome, so many always assume you’re from NYC when you say NY.....pisses all of us off from upstate or downstate! Big F’ing state, just the city! Lol 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎
Michael Jackson right it sucks
The new type of intro has an interesting style and is most definitely an enticing feature, especially to new viewers.
shoutout from syracuse!
The intro clip🤘👌
"OOooh Haaaleeyy Liiiinnee..." Love it.
That manual landing @5:41? Can we talk about it? Smoothest thing I ever see in my life!
I lived in that area for 4 years from 2006-2010. I'd move back in a heartbeat if I could find a good job over there. Last time I went to Whiteface to bike, I was one of just a few riders there. Definitely some challenging lines there. Do they still have the double teeter-tooter in the woods?
Oh yeah, it's still here!
Used to wrestle in lake placid every year ! So nice
That rock slide is sooo steezy. Gunna have to try that one.
Great perspective on a great place!
Wow never knew there was all this in New York. Interesting🤟
"Please don't break my derailleur." I'm with you, Haley!
And congrats on 300k
Hailey rocks!
