I probably shouldn't say anything, because I don't have the words to describe it. I'm 82 and been around a bit, but never seen anything compared to what you folks do. Your skill level, respect for each other, decency, and courage is unmatched by anything I've yet to encounter. Because I have many children, most everything you do taxes my nerves to the point of mummification least I become liquid as a way of coping before my nerves shatter as I watch the insane things you pull off, but I envy every thing you do. You people are a special breed, I'ed bet the angles wish they could ride like you.

Blake - "I think I should brake... Nah!" Love that no-fear attitude.

Phil the king of alternate line choice. Loved the series.

I swear Phil gets 30% more elevation on that big hip jump than anyone else.

Noticeably higher, and he travels further across it as well. I don't know if it's the full commitment, or if it's because he's on the enduro bike rather than a DH bike like most of the others riders, so he gets more boost, but it's definitely major altitude on that thing! This video shows DEFINITIVELY that Phil is a world class rider. Period.

Sad Alex noises 😢

Nothing better than Phil and Blake cackling like giddy maniacs after a death-defying shred. Loved the whole Whistler series, but this was my favorite.

these were some of the most fun whistler vids i've seen. Most other youtubers makes vids that are too short with too much editing. The vids in these series shows multiple entire runs and had edits in the right places with just enough talking/conversation sections that broke up riding so it wasn't just a 30 minute video of nothing but riding... which makes them so much better imo.

“What’s your name?” “Ryan” ... you know, just doing party laps with Ryan Howard. NBD.

Lol did you move ur head forward as he jumped

this whistler series fired me up so hard I rode my ass off around our local trails. I just started again... I raced in high school 30 years ago. I remember seeing the first guy show up with scott shocks, then rock shocks, then i never converted, just went to a day job. 30 years later I tried it again last month, thanks to watching your channel, Alex's, Seth's and GMBN's. i love all you guys. great content, great production quality, Ill check back in when I lose the 45 pounds I been struggling to lose for 18 months now. I have a feeling this is the ticket, doing something you love

Ah, ah, I was thinking to myself "who's that super skilled rider with the Fast House shirt" and then, it turns to be Ryan R-Dog Howard... Phil, that was a treat watching you rip with all these super talented riders. You belong there! I would watch your videos all day long! Thanks for all the great work!

that was my favorite outro to any video i have ever seen lmao

Who doesn’t love Blake 😂 Blake and Phil make a good duo

25:46 such a sick part of the video

I love that you did exactly what Blake did (landing flat off that drop) and don't take any credit (as you seem to do with all the other riders you ride with!). Super cool

These longer videos are sweet, they feel more fun and chill than 10-minute segments, hope you keep doing them 💯💯💯

Absolute legends! So much fun to watch a legend (you) ride with all those guys - Blake, Fairclough, Deakin, Trevor, too many.... I love coming back and watching this series over and over.

Always so impressed watching you ride Phil. You've got some serious talent on two wheels

I bet hanging out with Blake is awesome. He’s always laughing 😂! But dang Phil had them lines tho! Just a great video man! Keep it up Phil!

I come back pretty much monthly to watch this video ... One of the most epic days at Whistler caught on camera. Legendary!!

Hey my 80 year old mom with Alzheimer’s love’s your videos it has really helped a lot!! Thanks buddy .

Love your videos Phil, watching you boost those jumps on an Enduro bike and your line choice is awesome. Cheers for sharing!

This series has been amazing to watch, the riding was so fast with the pro’s! Thanks Phil

I love Phil’s amazing attitude and how he makes a point to ride with other people

I have to say... I just love watching your videos. I could never dream of riding at this level, so watching you do it is just gnarly. You handle the tightest trails with ease, get HUGE air on the jumps, and stick the landings. Just awesome!!! I had dreams of riding there when I was younger, but never made it. Now, at 51, I have pretty much written it off, so watching your videos makes me feel like being there myself because they are so good. Thanks for sharing!!!

I don't ride, but these videos are addicting. A few minutes in and I find myself constantly holding my breath on the jumps. Good stuff!

Whatever GT is paying you is not enough! You go as high and as deep as any of the guys on double-crown DH bikes - with style to burn. Great vid and great series!

Phil is stepping up his game! Super fun to watch this one.

Phil, this was your best series my man. I love all of your content but this made me appreciate and love the sport and your effort to capture it when more.

Such a humbling video with great candid responses from legends. Those guys are lighting quick.Thanks for documenting Phil!

I love your transition from intro to ride footage. Great video!

Loved this whole series. I’m honestly sad it’s over haha I’ve looked forward to these every week

These series made my day. Most definitely got HUGE motivation boost!!! Thanks Phil!

I'm 54 and just started riding single track trails on Vancouver Island. Watching you and the pace you take gets my adrenaline pumping! I think I'd be wrapped around a tree in 5 minutes or less trying to keep up. Thanks for the awesome videos. It encourages me to ride and push harder to get better!

Dude, your videos are some of the best ones to watch on YT. Always entertaining, showing your outstanding technical riding skills to the best, and listening to your commentary and laughs while rolling through some killer territory is just fun. Keep it up, you're giving this old man some great entertainment!

Great content - its so awesome to see you riding and following these guys! Thanks for sharing those with us.

Its always fun watching you ride Phil. Thanks for the videos.

Great edit, Phil! It's cool you got to ride with so many great riders, and that your skill level is right there at the top. Thanks for sharing the adventure!

This has been one of my favorite video series you’ve done Phil! Keep up the good work!

This is hands down one of the fastest videos I've seen. Way to go Phil!

Dude, Phil lifts. Love this guy. He knows he rips too, yet always allows everyone else to shine. It’s great.

Love to watch this level of skill hit the trails, Thanks.

Blake honestly looks dangerous to follow😂😂😂 constantly landing to flat

Love how "a group of heavy hitters" is literally Brendan fairclough 😄 that seems like a bit of an understatement

Super coverage - love watching you all speed down those trails.

Really nice skills Phil. Thx for taking us along 👍👍btw...stellar camera work and editing. Super cool air time dude! Plus it was awesome when you were riding in the bigger groups and everyone was rolling along so sweetly while keeping the train moving at speed. Everybody was looking great.

dude you are a hoot to watch and i love your confident riding style. its just so relaxed. inspiring. thanks for the adventure!!

These videos are getting me through quarantine. Can't count how many times I've watched them lol. KZread recommends, I watch.

You're freekin' funny man. Loved all the Whislter vids...

Great videos, man! I really enjoy them. Thanks for putting in the work, Phil.

My favorite of all your videos so far. Looking forward to the next favorite and all the others in between!

Love the vids Phil, keep crankin' them out for us dude !

Incredible video series from Whistler Phil. You guys were shredding so hard, loved seeing you keep up with all the rad riders.

Loved this content. Got to see some great riding. Killing it Phil!

So impressive how you keep up with the DH bikes on your GT trail (enduro?) bike! +Trevor Burke on lower Insomnia- wow, fast! Great video series, for sure.

Thanks for the epic 30 minute vid Phil!

Fully sick series of vids and top editing I'm buggered from all the binge watchin thanks for sharing ✌️

This is some of the most insane and fun Whistler riding videos I've seen. It's intense shredfest from beginning to end. I get mad arm pump watching. Thanks for interrupting my work day again!

I can't recall ever watching a rider's series with this much content all the way through. I enjoyed it.

Best ever Whistler video I have seen. Totally entertaining!

Good rider, even better ambassador for GT. Great job

Watched every video in the series, start to finish, and backed it up a few times to watch some parts twice! Absolutely amazing footage with legendary riders. That last guy you rode with, the local...was next level fast compared to the "casual" pace of most of the other runs. If you had not scrubbed that last booter, you would have landed in the line for the lift. I was genuinely worried that you were going to boost it at that speed and it might be the go from the series "banger," to being a star on "Fails and Bails." My compliments on what was the best footage of Whistler I've ever seen. I'm actually sad it's over, but looking forward to whatever sort of mischeif you get into next! This series was the double chocolate chip cookie in a normal cookie world. EPIC.

Thanks for the whistler series, they’ve been an absolute pleasure

Love your videos! Reminds me of the old days when riding was a priority. Your videos allow me to escape and remind me of good times riding with bro’s. At 55 not so much riding anymore but it’s still in the blood. Keep up the good work on the videos ....😊 🇨🇦

Watching this at the end of February in Colorado. Thanks for the stoke Phil! I'm so ready for park season.

this is honestly one of the best follow cams on youtube. the boys were absolutely RIPPIN the entire video

you make DH world cup racers / MTB legends to be as easy to follow as it is riding on the sidewalk ..... your skills are legendary man!

The best series of riding at whistler by anyone! Your riding and the riders your with was the best there is!

Awesome videos you got for us, I absolutely loved this series

Great content, love the channel. Actually went to Highland Bike Park after seeing some of your Highland video's, was my first time at a park; I had a ton of fun. I'd have to say Blake is probably my favorite GMBN presenter.

If there is ANY doubt about how capable and tough GT enduro bikes are....I present to you Phil Kmetz! Its crazy to see you owning the toughest stuff Whistler has to offer on an enduro rig...while everyone else is on a downhill bike! You are straight up sending those big hits my man!

I loved everyone single one of these! Then to ride with brendrog and Blake Sampson to top it off had to be two insane runs! And Phil you can shred with the best dude!

Great series of posts, just a ton of amazing riding in this one with so many great riders, but the segment at the beginning with Blake, it was like seeing great musicians riff off each other.

You are such a skillfully rider. Every time i watch your video’s I’m amazed

Just casually runs into Brendog and does a few laps, legendary! 🤙🤙

I loved this. Great content Phil. And loved the names of the riders popping up. Brilliant 🤙

This Whistler series is unreal, so many talented riders!

Great series! Super creative editing too, really enjoyable.

Thanks Phill..you are such an inspiration to me..Thank you

That was rad. Thanks for posting and the inspiration.

You keep up with all the best pros bro and your video's are just as entertaining.

yet another amazing video , the section with Trevor on misfire was my fav , so fast and natural ,

All these guys are heavy hitter speed demons and you’re keeping up if not going faster than these guys, keep up the content! Beyond entertaining

GIANT BALLS. My grandmother loved the vid!

Awesome video series. You make those trails look so easy .

Sickest jumps and by far the quickest speeds I've ever seen through the corners. You guys are aliens!!!
