What action camera do you film with?

There’s gotta be some mathematical formula for this, like: terrain ± skill level = ideal travel

Rode there last summer when i visited from Greece. The place is mental.

This trail looks horrible.

when are you guys in quebec? i'll be in sdm july15-18

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK THAT

Which ergon grips are those Phil

My Mk 2 Bronson with 150/150 ticks most boxes, would putting a 160 fork on it make much difference, maybe a bit? It does me for local rides and the majority of bike park uplift days, although a longer travel bike is on the wish list for the more challenging bike parks and our annual trip to the Alps. Lot of money to spend on something that's going to get ridden about 10 times a year. Then again a large majority of my riding pals now have circa 150 travel ebikes...

Accidentally? No, on purpose ;)

Never did I think I’d see the day of Phil struggling on a trail. He’s human after all!! Seriously though… this really puts the shore into perspective.

You should come to Montana and do legacy bike park it is so fun

How do they fix up these trails after a day like this? I feel like it would just create ruts that would last all season. Do they have groomers like for the ski hills?

Glad they bermed that worn out right turn on Trillium. It was the spot that got me to test my new helmet...twice. LOL

Saturday or Sunday? I ebiked there earlier in the week and it was so perfect. Why does it always rain on the weekend!

My man is COOKING

Do 20 mm of travel do all that much difference especially if the geometry is the same? I think for overwhelming majority of people it does not. Comparison between XC - class full sus (120 / 100) and 160/140 trail / enduro would have been more interesting IMO.

yoooo i was there that day and saw u shredding

I bought a YT Capra with 180mm front and rear cause in my mind i was going to spend a lot of time on lifts.....hasnt happened. Its a great bike down but not so fun up. Lot of suspension bob and the front end is very light on steep climbs. Know what i know now i prob would go 150mm and something that pedals better.

Obviously the bike you should get is for the type of riding you most complete. I’m fortunate to have two bikes both purchased used. An all mountain/trail bike offers comfort and performance for most conditions. 120/130 travel. I’m not in bike parks riding big air or overly rocky technical terrain. Then I have an XC race bike but that’s strictly for XC or race events I do.

Glad to see you return to S6! I did a summers worth of shovel work and tamping on those trails the summer we opened it. The flow is so nice, shout out to Sinuosity Trails for building them.

Knolly chilcotin with 160/151. Have a 170/167 setup I can throw on in about 30 min when I'm feeling frisky.

I exist soley in the long travel trail category. The best all rounder and for me i only have time to ride one bike and want be as comfortable as possible on it. I have two wheelsets exactly the same raceface arc carbon 30 on dt 240s with sapim dlight spokes, with the same cassettes and discs the only difference is tyres, for normal trail riding nobby nic 2.4 super trail soft front, speed grip rear. For park and enduro style magic mary 2.6 super gravity soft front and rear.

I ride a trail which starts mainly downhill and there are some super technical sections where a long travel bike would come in handy, but you end the ride with a climb and it’s not fun on a 170mm travel bike. Nowadays, bikes have better geometries, but it’s still tough. So I stopped taking my enduro bike out there (Canfield Balance) and started using my 130mm travel, 29er trail bike (Marin Rift Zone) and it’s been a such more enjoyable ride.

I remember riding Bolton back 2006'ish. On my Balfa DH! It was so techy and scary. I remember a big drop too.

im heading up there pretty soon and wondering what are the trail names in the video?

My hardtail Scott Scale has been a pretty decent "do everything" ride, although I wish that I'd opted for a slightly smaller frame size (L is a bit too much for me)...

The dirt looked amazing that day. And your riding makes it all look so effortless and smooth on camera, as always. Well, except that massive case of course. But that was for science, clearly.

I took my 130mm hardtail to a DH park last year not realizing their green trails were still insane. I rode carefully and a little slow and had a great time. The best bike is the one you will ride.

Ive been riding a 140/150mm trailbike on my local trails for the last 3 years, and ever since last week, when i picked up my first enduro bike, i ride my trails 2x as fast

Cross country is also cool , Phil!

nothing is substitute with Suspension Travell, only with more Travell

My quiver is based on WB. I can have three 140-160mm bikes, one with 1150 WB (Canfield Toir), another 1220mm WB (SB150), and another with 1290 WB (Pole Evolink), and they'll all ride differently enough for me to justify them all. Though, clearly, the one in the middle will get the most ride time, with me leaning to the longer bike over the shorter bike, which hints to me that my sweet spot WB is 1220 to maybe ~1250. The way I like to ride, I know that I'd just be pointlessly tiring myself out with bikes that don't do as much work. I have great pedal endurance, but not so much with bump absorption. I'm the type who simply stiffens up under bumps that would overwhelm me and my suspension. I don't mind doing work if the bumps were spaced out far enough for me to recover, but I'd rather have the extra capability and make my work optional.

That last ride was wild I fell like 6 times watching it lol. Your bad ass Phil

Is this gonna be another electric bike channel now?

Under biked is more fun. 140 front 130 back. All you need

Сan U describe what the bike u ride on or recored review?

Underbiked on a XC ride? No problem. Underbiked on a DH ride? Problem. / Overbiked on a XC ride? Problem. Underbiked on a DH ride? No problem.

That's some crazy frikkin tech dude!

No wonder you rip, bmx background. But seriously World Cup Downhill racing? I had no idea. Makes sense now. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Trails looked great....why was no one else there? watchin you go from light to shade is some scary stuff,

Phil's trail speed is not everybody else's trail speed!

I ride a full sus gravel bike with straight bars.

I’m lucky to own a few discipline from DH,Enduro,Trail, trail/Enduro HT and Trail HT. On my local trail with lots of climbs I’d rather use my hardtail trail. I find enduro more suited for bike parks only now lol.

there are people who only have one bike?

@11:37 I love my Ride Concepts Tallac Clips! They fit me really well, but I would like a wider toebox. Very durable, good pedaling platform and serve me well in all conditions. I know what you mean about more vertical room for the toes. I have a slip-on pair of shoes that need that for sure but the RC's seem good for my toes.

Wow. Great tutorial. Thank you for the work you put into this video.

Where is this ?

I live like 20 minutes from there but have never ridden it

Over/under biked are easily the most over used terms in MTB.

Looks great, Never been though. What might you compare the climb to? Bolton, Cochran?
