Phil you are the CAPTAIN CRUNCH! Hi I'm Phil riding this trail blind like a BOSS and I'll casually provide commentary during high pucker factor moments. You ROCK!

He's not riding it blind. He is being towed by a local who obviously knows the trails well. But it's still amazing how well he does and keeps up with the guide while maintaining his composure and casually talking about it on his first runs on trails that I would never even try to ride.

As a 34 yo newbie, I’ve been riding 5 days a week on my hardtail for the last month. Learned a lot from watching you and I hit my first black diamond rock garden/trail called giddy up yesterday. I was stoked! Then riding back to the truck on the green family trail, wheel got loose and bam! Broken collarbone. So I’ll be watching your videos for the next 6 weeks and hoping I don’t loose my progression!

You've been bitten by the bug. Your progression will return soon enough and with the added bonus of hard-won wisdom!

You are a madman! Killing that first run while narrating

Amazing Phil, going that fast on a blind trail run like that. What confidence!

Wow this is beautiful 🤩 What an amazing combination of flow, tech, wood, & rock. The trail builders went all out. 10:12 😂Shredding the first lap as usual 🤘

chatting to the camera that casually on your first lap down features like that is crazy!! I can't say I recommend the free ride - re ride - pre ride strategy but you certainly pull it off 😂

Damn, I was looking for safety tips... guess I'll find another channel.. 😂👊🏼🔥🙏🏼

The people who built and still building these trails are legends! Really enjoyed this footage thank you 😎

Sandy is the man. His riding is always a highlight whenever content creators ride out in Quebec

If you're looking for safety tips this is not the channel for you!!! Best line ever Phil

Phil "that was a good warm up" me that was scary , but a dream ride

Awesome video and trails. Thanks for the work you put into them. Sandy rips and is so fluid.

At 09:00 , Phil’s version of Hawk Tuah 😂

Sick video man!! So impressed at everything you can do on your trail bike, so big and fast! 😬🙌

Awesome video. Phil you make things look so easy. I rode E47 last summer, its technical and super fun

I never thought watching a person ride down a trail could be so engaging. I recently started posting long form content on my channel and I was wondering if you had any tips on how your narrating makes the viewer feel connected.

I have just recently started making long form content and I was wondering if you had any tips on how your commentary makes the viewer feel connected.

I have always been in awe of your ability to just send it blind. Even though I've seen it many times, this time I thought Phil Freerides, Rerides, and then Prerides came to me just before you said it.

Phil got skillz. That was a beautiful first run on one of the coolest, best built trails I have ever seen.

It's such a pleasure to see you riding my home bike park... will never get the skill to ride these but at least I enjoy watching you riding !

I think that elbow hammer wrestling move describing the second trail was a signature Dusty Rhodes move from back in the day! Many days before the days of Phil.

I think the wrestling move "Descente du coude" is simply called the "Elbow drop" in english.

The trails you do are really crazy and hard but I like rocks because it makes the trail hard.

awww lucky boy you got to ride Sepultura before me! Great run Phil

To be fair, it was not quite finished so i didnt get the full experience. Nevertheless its gonna be a sick trail. I did feel a little dirty riding it. Im trusting the builder was indeed okay with us riding it, but i know different builders can be rather particular about people riding their stuff before it's finished which i completely understand.

Crazy impressive how well you ride those trails blind. Quebec looks amazing for bikes

You make it look a lot easier than it is. A lot of skill for sure.

Got a feeling this was a 1st time but not the last time. Nice to see the Quebec trails getting a proper exposure.

My god this looks wicked!

Crazy trail. DOUBLE Black. ?? That looked gnarly!!

Only been to Quebec once (before Covid) and it's my favorite riding on the East Coast, that and Pisgah N.C. Just wish they had senior non-ebike pricing. I can only make it up those hills twice in a day.

LOVE your videos. Keep 'em coming! Your vids are my go-to. Remi is second (shhhh.....keep that a secret).

So awesome trail

10:45 you not a Remy that is! Haha I love your content man and you do provide some good skill lessons! Wink wink

Swear I didn't want this vid to end, was completely sucked in the duration of recording. 💪🏼

Sick video!

Phil.. you sir are amazing

sick vid

Dang that's like a 15 minute drive from home

Love the Danner collab!

lmao the trail builders left you a trap I like their style

Trails were cool in all but all I was really paying attention to is if that guys Commencal was creaking or not. Silent yeah?? 😂

Loved this...

You need to change your Channel name from Skills with Phil to Thrills with Phil to really match your comment about how you ride trains lol

you should go to boomerang farm bike park in australia

Are your next stops will be Mont Sainte-Anne and Massif de Charlevoix?

Yup. Those five locations are the ones that band together and work with the Quebec City Tourism department. There's obviously other locations in the Quebec Province, but these are the ones that quick to get to from Quebec City.

did I see you in the creek of the richmond trail connector the other night?

@skillswithphil ill bet the wrestling move at 7:32 is called "The Peoples Elbow"!

Is it just me, or does Phil go through every Dave Grohl hair/beard era every season? Great stuff as usual

I usually do one or two hair cuts a year. I jusy chopped it off again as it was getting too hot and gross

Insane trails, insane riding Phil. Just curious, any reason you didn't ride/bring your Force for the trails there in Quebec?

So i brought my ebike (which they asked us to) and my Sensor. We ended up only doing one ebike ride. My sensor is a better do it all bike, but it can get a little overwhelmed when things get extra chunky. I still think it was the better choice but there's definitely moments where having more travel would be nice.

I'm not sure why they called that first trail Nosferatu but I know that I would lose a lot of blood if I tried riding it.

Phil have you and Hailey ever been to highland? Place is sick

Amazing trails. Stupid question, but how often are those trails available? Like 2-4 months a year? Just because they are in Quebec after all. ☮

This trip was sponsored by the Quebec City mountain bike association, which wants to promote places nearby to Quebec city. I think the places you are talking about are in the province of Quebec but closer to Ottawa. I haven't been to those yet but I'm familiar with them.

Whats your weight and suspension setup ? Please respond

As someone who just cut off their own long hair, I completely understand.
