I have a tire patch kit in my pack but like to have other tools for unexpected things that happen on trails. What crazy is most stuff I have used wasn't even for my own bike but helping someone else on the trail with a tire, or a zip tie, first aid kit, etc.
"Dude, Dude, look at what's coming up!" A 15 second ad pops up on the video and I have to watch it... Phil! how did you know! Why would you do this to me!!!???
I really like your last videos Phil. Hailey, Alex and you make a great team, the videos are fun and dynamic, each one has its own personality and they work very well together. Great work!
Hailey adds that extra something to the videos....great balance! love to see couples out riding together. this trail looks really fun. technical skill could improve fast riding it a few times! thank for the great videos
Great stuff Phil and Hailey! I've been on the Millstone trail crew for many years now and there are a bunch of sections that I rarely clean. Would love to show you more of the network, some slightly less techy and faster stuff. Jeb
Worlds collide for me in this video. I'm a stone mason and I've been ordering my carbide tipped chisels and hammers from a company in Barre VT for years now, and the best part is I'm heading to Vermont for the very first time this weekend for the Irreverent road ride. After I recover from that I'll be looking this place up. Thanks! Timing on this video couldn't be any better!
My home state! Vermont is loaded with even more trails that many people never hear about, they're everywhere! And the terrain and scenery are always magnificent!
Its trails like this that made me get rid of my clips and there is no looking back. I road on them for over twenty years but I now feel so much more relaxed and free. Great video, I only live a couple of hours from here, need to make a road trip. thanks
It's amazing seeing Phil just blow through everything and very inspirational for all of us that are just hoping to be even a fraction as good as you! Keep it up love the videos!
The porcupines live in the rock piles there! They hang out in the trees in the spring and munch on bark and buds, very sloth like. Also you can find ice in those rock piles in mid august sometimes. It's totally natural AC in the summer. Good to see you guys made it to my local trail system! I live 5 minutes away. I think I was at perry hill while you were here unfortunately. Did you guys get to ride roller coaster all the way down? It's the closest thing to a flow trail there with lots of little bridge drops and fast, really fun! There are so many miles of trails to explore there, hope you get to make it back sometime. Thanks for all the NES videos you and Alex have been putting out! I really enjoy watching you guys shred all of my local trails.
Place looks cool as shit. I like how you guys talked about your weaknesses even at the level you ride at. Being newer to the sport, it definitely helps my confidence. I'm always trying to sharpen my basic skills every time I ride. I live in New England, so this series is perfect!
Porcupines can be massive! I came across one when I was preparing a trail for the opening of our season, it could be mistaken for a cub from the distance I was. Needless to say I approached it very careful and sure was glad to find out it was only a porcupine!
That trail was awesome. Exactly the kind of riding I love. There are some places here in Connecticut with a bunch of rocky, technical spots like that. Used to be some wooden features too but not it’s like a rotted stunt graveyard. I might have to take a ride to Vermont!
These videos with Alex and Hailey are soo enjoyable to watch. It's like the perfect version or The Three Musketeers haha. As a lady mountain biker I'd really love to see Hailey's bike set up !
Hello from Ireland a lot of people over here are inspired by you for mountain biking including me and my friends keep up the videos loving the little vlogs at the star should keep doing them :))
Love that you try to complete everything! Sucks watching the other vloggers ride single track then when it gets to something interesting they're like I'm going to walk around this bit👌🏻 sweet videos as always!
I'm loving these latest vids! It's funny, you've been riding all the places I like to ride, plus some that are on my list. My friend and I were JUST talking about millstone the other day. We were at Highland on Friday, and in Burke the same weekend you were.
You the man Phil much love from a fellow northeast mountain biker! Come back down to Pittsburgh sometime not in the winter PA trails deserve some love!
You guys are the BEATLES of MNT Biking! Brian is Paul of course. Alex is George. Sorry Seth, but you ARE Ringo buddy! LOL And Phil? You sir are the JOHN LENNON of MOUNTAIN BIKING. a wizard indeed! Please be careful! You all inspire us when inspiration is scarce! Take good care!
I gotta say millstone is still one of my favorite trail networks take a weekend hit millstone then go further north to kingdom for a killer weekend of riding
Awesome trail! Enjoyed seeing you guys ride the twisty technical terrain as opposed to the faster flowier stuff usually featured in your vids. Thanks for the vid.
I think that's the absolute slowest I've seen you ride overall. That trail was 100% slow and tech. You guys nailed it though and it looked so super neat. It'll show you what to improve on with your skills for sure!
All these places look so good. I'm in southern NH and really close to all of them I need to make some trips. Thanks for doing these videos guys! #philthings
I think you might have tightened your shock mounting bolts a little too much. The sound can be caused by the internals of the shock being forced to slide sideways instead of up and down. What you hear are the tiny machining marks left by the lathe that are rubbing against the bushings and seals with more force than normal.
I want to start by saying that Phil, you by far have the very best balancing skills I have ever seen in a mountain biker. I've been practicing myself, but you are at the top of the heap in that. 0:45 - I just recently purchased one of those, myself. Fortunately (knock on wood) I have not had to use it yet. 2:25 - I am so jealous that you get to ride in this kind of scenery. 13:59 - "You're a maniac!" 15:30 - If you had told me a week ago that you can get ticks just by riding by tall grass, I would never have believed you. Then last Saturday I rode by tall grass and got a tick. How? I was going fast, too! 16:16 - once again, jealous of the riding scenery. 17:35 - and yet again. What a view! 18:13 - I love encounters with nature! Well, most of them anyway. I prefer not to encounter bears or mountain lions (they have claws that can hurt). Or skunks (they have the stink). But I have seen foxes, coatimundis, deer, and snakes on my rides. 18:57 - I see you, Hailey! :-) Lastly, I like what you're doing with you scene transitions. Similar to what Alex is doing. hand wipes and putting your hand over the lens and stuff like that. I think it's fun. Great video! I really like watching these collaboration road trips. You three seem to be getting along very well and that is always fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
You are one strong person and your balancing skills are unreal, you can ride a bicycle like nobody I have ever seen, are all those other professional racers like that too ?
Love your vids man. They inspire me to ride harder and better every time. I really want to get into downhill riding. But its hard to do here especially when i don't have a suitable bike.
Dude thought I'd comment how sick your videos are man. Im about to make the switch. Been riding trials for years now I'm finally getting a trail/enduro bike. Keep up the great content and shreddn the gnar
Phil I'm sure this vid did not do it justice. That place was beautiful and super techy at the same time. You said you would take a person who never been to Vermont but I hope he's a better rider than me cause I can't do skinnies or half of those rock gardens wow ,granite gardens? great vid glad to see Haily in them cause I can show my wife and she seems more interested in doing mtb cause of Haily. thanks
You guys should come do some riding in Boston Lot in lebanon NH! A climb up to the quarry earns you some awesome downhill - 2 trails to hit are Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. They're as epic as the names suggest.
Millstone is great, it's too bad Screamin Demon was still closed (trail at the top of roller coaster), as it has a ton of fun features. Did you go all the way over to the lookout view on Fellowship Ring? And yes, Alex is right, it is super slippy there when wet.
Hey, dude. I just started watching you because im in central mass, and there is a great group of NEMBA trails in Milford, MA, called the Vietnam trails, and you should really ride them. They have drops, jumps, tachnical climbs, rollers, and so much more.
Getting one of those Dynaplug's looks like it good to have in case of minor holes. Thanks Phil for the link in description.
They are good for big holes too that stans can't seal. My heartbreak ridge video has me helping out a friend that had a decent side puncture!.
Cool going to rewatch that video to see repair. Didn't know that it could secure big holes too.
Well not rips or anything, but decent sized punctures it has you covered
I have a tire patch kit in my pack but like to have other tools for unexpected things that happen on trails. What crazy is most stuff I have used wasn't even for my own bike but helping someone else on the trail with a tire, or a zip tie, first aid kit, etc.
Bro...u don't even disc?? Lol
Careful riding there. Don't wanna catch a driver to the dome😳
Jk diggin yo vidz hommie🤙🏼
"Dude, Dude, look at what's coming up!" A 15 second ad pops up on the video and I have to watch it... Phil! how did you know! Why would you do this to me!!!???

I can so relate to Hailey: "This is pushing my comfort zone with bridges. We have a love-hate . . . mostly hate relationship." Yup, me too.
that's the raddest set of trails I've seen yet!
Thats my kind of trail ride right there! I love just getting on my bike and exploring and seeing the sights. That place looked rad.
0:05 Nearly got sucked into the black hole!!
My home state! Vermont is loaded with even more trails that many people never hear about, they're everywhere! And the terrain and scenery are always magnificent!

Wow this place is so cool!
One of the most unique place on the east coast hands down.
It's amazing seeing Phil just blow through everything and very inspirational for all of us that are just hoping to be even a fraction as good as you! Keep it up love the videos!

Glad you enjoy riding in my home state so much. It's a great place to call home !!!
Having raced the Millstone Grind back in 2012 this place is amazing, i will get back there someday.
That trail was awesome. Exactly the kind of riding I love. There are some places here in Connecticut with a bunch of rocky, technical spots like that. Used to be some wooden features too but not it’s like a rotted stunt graveyard. I might have to take a ride to Vermont!
That looks AMAZING.
That was awesome, amazing sites, trails and terrain. Looks like Hailey is liking the camera more. Well done, Phil...
We have a love hate... mostly hate relationship with bridges LOL
Another great video guys, trails look sick!
~Brian at Fanatik
Fanatik Bike Co. do you guys sell yeti? I'm getting a yeti and you are a great bike shop.
These videos with Alex and Hailey are soo enjoyable to watch. It's like the perfect version or The Three Musketeers haha.
As a lady mountain biker I'd really love to see Hailey's bike set up !
East coast gooseberry with some North shore thrown in. Looks awesome
Hello from Ireland a lot of people over here are inspired by you for mountain biking including me and my friends keep up the videos loving the little vlogs at the star should keep doing them :))
WOW, thank you for the love!
No problem you literally inspired my friend and I and we are 14 and we are already learning all the tricks off you Thank You!!
Vt. Is such a beautiful state, the people are also super nice. It also has great tree skiing come winter. Take care
This forest looks so beautifully serene. It makes me think of a fairy forest. I definitively have to come to the US for a long MTB trip!
"We have a love... mostly hate relationship"😂😂😂😂😂
Love that you try to complete everything! Sucks watching the other vloggers ride single track then when it gets to something interesting they're like I'm going to walk around this bit👌🏻 sweet videos as always!
So cool to see you coming to my local trails! This system is right around the corner from me and the terrain is so unique!
Just rode Millstone last Sunday. Crazy features on Angry Gnome.
I'm loving these latest vids! It's funny, you've been riding all the places I like to ride, plus some that are on my list. My friend and I were JUST talking about millstone the other day. We were at Highland on Friday, and in Burke the same weekend you were.
I Love this Trail!!! One day I am going to do a road trip of the Northeast!! Ohh and Alexanders to lid is pretty RAD!!!
that trail looks so magical.
Those were some interesting, technical trails. Looks like fun !
Wow, Phil! You’re really skilled with the technicals. I am even more inspired! Thanks
Wow. I've never seen trails quite like that before. And more good news, Alexander's got a new helmet. Finally!
You the man Phil much love from a fellow northeast mountain biker! Come back down to Pittsburgh sometime not in the winter PA trails deserve some love!
I need to! SO many places, so little time!
I was there last year and the bridges at 4:42 were rotted out and closed. Good to see they fixed it
Shout out from Vermont Phil, glad you came!
wow, what a beautiful place & trail!! and sick riding skills... !
Phil, awesome video keep them rolling bro, I always like it when you invite Alex along. Haley she was a big plus to your ride also. Awesome video.
Wow man, so many cool things about this video! Really enjoyed watching. Killer trails for sure!
how sharp are the rocks? id imagine granite could get pretty sharp
Some of them are pretty f---ing sharp!
Awesome trails and beautiful scenery.
I used to race here. Great freaking trails!
That lonely bike was like a monument to dead rider..))
You guys are the BEATLES of MNT Biking! Brian is Paul of course. Alex is George. Sorry Seth, but you ARE Ringo buddy! LOL And Phil? You sir are the JOHN LENNON of MOUNTAIN BIKING. a wizard indeed! Please be careful! You all inspire us when inspiration is scarce! Take good care!
I gotta say millstone is still one of my favorite trail networks take a weekend hit millstone then go further north to kingdom for a killer weekend of riding
nice to see Vermont trails. That's where I ride.
I love the trio! You guys are fun to hang out with!
I like how they did the wood bridges in the beginning. (v-like) looks more pleasant when wet
Yeah, I love the v design, it works well when wet to an extent too
Awesome trail! Enjoyed seeing you guys ride the twisty technical terrain as opposed to the faster flowier stuff usually featured in your vids. Thanks for the vid.
Once again nice video guys!!👍👍👍
Those skinnies are nightmare fuel. Nice riding guys!
Yes they are, but we're conquering them!
That place looked super fun! Sorta reminds me of a different version of the trail Seth was riding in the PNW just recently.
Haha, yes. I cut it out of the RUclips version but I briefly mentioned that during the ride when talking with Alex.
Phil, I LOVE your videos!!! Keep up what your doing! By the way the mustache rocks!!!
I think that's the absolute slowest I've seen you ride overall. That trail was 100% slow and tech. You guys nailed it though and it looked so super neat. It'll show you what to improve on with your skills for sure!
Such a unique little trail. Would love to ride it.
Love these trails! Always try to go when in VT
Haha the video bombs were legit today :) So many trippy features on this trail.
Phil you and Seth NEED to go in a road trip to whistler. You would be soooo good at whistler bike park and I would love to see you shred there
0:15 I thought you were finally gunna show us the true reason why you guys are always so "stoked!" lol
All these places look so good. I'm in southern NH and really close to all of them I need to make some trips. Thanks for doing these videos guys! #philthings
No problem! glad you're stoked on these!
Lot's of cool stuff in NH/VT, Wildcat, Killington, etc. How about hitting Mt Washington, or better yet, downhill Tuckerman's Ravine :)
New trail for the bucket list this is sick!
I think you might have tightened your shock mounting bolts a little too much. The sound can be caused by the internals of the shock being forced to slide sideways instead of up and down. What you hear are the tiny machining marks left by the lathe that are rubbing against the bushings and seals with more force than normal.
This place is wicked, so freaking cool! Cheers!
This looks like a killer place to ride!! nice vid Phil!!
this is pretty cool i would love to come here one day!!!
That must be one big ol looooooooong rock if you were to dig it out! 9:57
Even though i'm a roadie, I'd love to try out these trails and all this north shore awesomeness!
wow that place looks amazing.
Incredible trail!! Love this sooooo much guys! You have everything here!!
12:04 I think Alex is gonna need some ice for that burn
being from ohio, I really envy the short distance you guys are from amazing trails. loving the vids!
Now that's what I call technical trail.
I want to start by saying that Phil, you by far have the very best balancing skills I have ever seen in a mountain biker. I've been practicing myself, but you are at the top of the heap in that.

18:57 - I see you, Hailey! :-)
Lastly, I like what you're doing with you scene transitions. Similar to what Alex is doing. hand wipes and putting your hand over the lens and stuff like that. I think it's fun.
Great video! I really like watching these collaboration road trips. You three seem to be getting along very well and that is always fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Hailey's voice reminds me of the short little blonde girl on Big Bang Theory! Kudos to her for sticking this ride out and pushing the envelope!
FFdar911 Bernadette! She has a beautiful voice though.
You are one strong person and your balancing skills are unreal, you can ride a bicycle like nobody I have ever seen, are all those other professional racers like that too ?
Awesome trail. Thanks for sharing.
Love your vids man. They inspire me to ride harder and better every time. I really want to get into downhill riding. But its hard to do here especially when i don't have a suitable bike.

Hauke Ludolfs what bike?
Check Danny macaskills insta he does alot of trials stuff on his 5010
The longer videos are awesome!
I almost feel that Haley is a character in an anime or something. The way she speaks is always so..... surprised? I don't know.
😁OMG that looks so awesome and i don't thinkI want to walk that far carrying a bike lol
This place looks awesome! I'm going to have to check it out. Probably will stick to the easier stuff to the south though.
Phil I'm sure this vid did not do it justice. That place was beautiful and super techy at the same time. You said you would take a person who never been to Vermont but I hope he's a better rider than me cause I can't do skinnies or half of those rock gardens wow ,granite gardens? great vid glad to see Haily in them cause I can show my wife and she seems more interested in doing mtb cause of Haily. thanks

another awesome vid .awesome job phil !
These Trials are so dope
cool trail, neat place that quarry.
Great ride and Vid Exploring and seeing nature is awesome (porcupine)
You guys are such good riders!
Millstone is great, it's too bad Screamin Demon was still closed (trail at the top of roller coaster), as it has a ton of fun features. Did you go all the way over to the lookout view on Fellowship Ring? And yes, Alex is right, it is super slippy there when wet.
thats a rough trail guys..dang..HUCKYEAH!!!!
Loving the videos! Keep them up Phil!
Climbed angry gnome when we were there... That was.... Interesting
Hey, dude. I just started watching you because im in central mass, and there is a great group of NEMBA trails in Milford, MA, called the Vietnam trails, and you should really ride them. They have drops, jumps, tachnical climbs, rollers, and so much more.
