I guess I'll need to think of some new excuses for not riding in winter... Absolute legend Phil

That giggle on the first wash out went beyond my range of hearing... 😂 #HighPitched

Phil aka the nicest guy on a mountain bike!

You are such a boss.

Loved the sound effects at 3:58, made me LOL. Though it looks like the poor soul went high but hopefully found a nice pile of snow to land in.

OMG Phil! I was there, we shared a chair (The older cat who was stoked too ride up with you). I cannot believe the amount of speed you carried especially on the muddy shoveled lines. I mean WTF?! No one was anywhere near that speed. Jack Rabbit was nutty and you just blew through it... Love watching you ride man!

I find it absolutely amazing that with Phil's skill set he is still shredding the trails while he's telling us how loose and slick the trails are ! Hats off Phil !

*Responding to a few really common questions:* ▶︎ Is your frame still cracked? My frame was still cracked when I made this video, but the replacement triangle just came in the day I posted this video. ▶︎ How did you set up your camera? I'm using the Hero 7 black in this video with built in stabilization. If you want to know more about my set up watch this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iuB0Y8WBsZfZlWg.html ▶︎ I can't believe Highland is still open! It's closed now for the season, but they do open a few times during the winter for a winter fat bike weekend. ▶︎ You should run a mud guard I was running a smaller "marsh guard" style mud flat. You can see it at the 1:00 mark when my bars are turned sideways. ▶︎ What where you wearing? Nothing special really. Multiple layers of riding clothes. I had 2 sets of socks on + toe warmers. I was using the thicker than normal Dawn Patrol Tasco gloves. They help, but you hands still get cold eventually. I borrowed one of Hailey's neck warmers which helped out a ton. ▶︎ How do you clean off muddy riding gear? I rinse off all my gear with a hose, and once the water runs clear I wash it the same way I normally do.

You know what makes me mad? Seeing you blitz that trail in full-on mud mode, and go faster than almost everyone on the planet could go if it was perfectly dry and groomed. Screw you Phil Kmetz....screw you. :-) "Due to the mud from the melting snow, I wasn't able to hit all the features I would normally hit on this trail." Proceeds to send everything, and hit wooden bridges that I wouldn't have laid a tire on in those conditions. Yet somehow...you come across as humble and unassuming. Keep 'em coming!!! LOVE THE NEW HERO 7 footage man! It's so much more life-like for a myriad of reasons. I get it that for some, they like the "artificially fast" feeling you get from a lower mounted camera/gimbal setup, but I much prefer this angle. The view is clear...no bars, stem, or bike computer in the way (Nate Hills...speaking to you sir), and the jumps are much better, because we "spot" the landing along with you. Cornering...WAY better with "vision view" of seeing the exit. I've been using the 7 chin mounted as well, and it is WAY more pleasant to wear than messing with gimbals!!! Thanks for your tips with it, and for veryfing that it will work even with the shreddiest of shredders!!

I love how Phil rides faster and with more confidence in the snow than I do on perfectly tacky dirt! It made me cringe a bunch of times where I was positive he was going to slide out because he was going so fast. Amazing stuff to watch Phil!

anytime you roll up on a wooden feature my heart sank! haha

Impossible to sit down and relax to, forgot all about the cup of tea I intended to go with the video...😱 🤘🤘🤘

One of your best vids yet! More more!

As a skier and mtb rider, I really, really enjoyed that! Thx, Phil!

Quality vid Phil! This looks like great fun.

Always love seeing a Phil video, nice video 😀.

What a ride.Congrats Phill amzing driving

Glad you are making more content!

that giggle was the angry dolphin paint job coming to life, I swear!

Back in the saddle again yeah man awesome!!!!

That was a fun video to watch, you must have had a blast riding that day!! Thanks for posting buddy!

I ride in winter as well....on roads and on a few trails. Your definitely giving your bike and tires a good work out. Thanks for the upload Phil....

Love your pov's

Phil - you are an animal on the bike!! Really enjoyed that. Gave me inspiration to ride in the snow!!

Keep em coming Phil. ! U got it !

Insane skills with Phil

So cool. Literally.

Soo awesome to see you back in a riding video!! You bring something different from all the other channels that we love!

Nice Phil! Looks like a sloppy rad time- way to keep 'er pinned!

This is awsome cant wait to go riding next year at the kingdom trails and hopefully highland

Great video Phil congrats

Awesome riding Phil. Pretty cool seeing Highland with the first snow. I think I would worry more about slippery wood features, but I'm not that good a rider. Thanks much for the posting!

What an epic ride

Bonus points for the slosh sound! Awesome dude. Megavalanche - Phil style...

This bike park looks awesome.

This is lit...in the snow..💥💥💥

Definitely one of the best videos I've seen in a while! 19/19

Oh man this looks fun!! Love the video :)

That was cool!

Wow, that looked like some mucky fun! Good stuff!!!! You made the snow surfing look ez! Haha

You are the nicest guy ever, Even as good as you are you don't come closer to others and forever them to make a way for you

Looks insanely fun😂

Even in the slowest conditions you were still faster than I am in my dreams. Dude you’re a beast, a beast with a fool Manchu, unreal.

Dude your a mad man!! I can't believe how fast you are riding that while being on snow... Great video!!!

Loved this vid,also your bike is amazing

Nice video man!! Love the quality of your videos! Keep the good work up!

Great one .

You really do have some skills Phil !!

Wow difficult ride in that conditions,good video👍

Freakin’ awesome phil 👊🏻👊🏻

Sick video Phil!

A fine way to finish the season! Rode me some snow near Denver recently.

awesome! more snow stuff plx!

That was awesome! You’re truly insane

Phil the footage looks amazing! :O

Phil you are one impressive rider! You still seemed to be caring a lot of speed in the snow! Well done!

Your riding style is so smooth.

That was COOL! I like the challenge of riding in snow too, but I've never gone that fast under those conditions. Phil truly has some skills!

Man I miss summer. Great video tho, thanks Phil.

Footage looks amazing keep it up 🤘

Sick video man. Best one in a while in my opinion

You are savage .... great riding. Made me hold my breath in the fast turns. :0

Dude that was insane how quickly you rode it in the snow. Still baffled how you managed to find so much traction! I couldn’t ride it that fast in the dry! 😎🤘

Holy crap dude... you're insane!!

Man your level of confidence ripping through those turns in straight up snow was incredible. Not to mention the wooden features, which since breaking my hand at Mountain Creek on a wet boardwalk last year, scares the crap out of me. Bless you Phil, bless you!

Seems like you had pretty good grip! Awesome.

Beast!

Man.... You're a beast! 👍

We actually just got the first snow of the winter here in Austria the last couple of days. While I'm looking forward to ski touring already this inspired me to take out my bike a couple more times and see what sliding fun can be had on my hometrails this time of the year!

This was an amazing video! You are faster in the snow than most in the dry LOL Incredible

You fell just once? Unbelievable 😂 amazing video after all

Damn Phil you a mad man!

Man, I have really missed this type of video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thanksgiving I literally rode in the same conditions on my local trails. It made a trail I have ridden 3 dozen times feel like a new trail that was totally different and super fun

This video makes me want to go ride in the snow and I don't even care for the stuff! You were letting it roll Phil, that looked awesome! Looks like the new gopro is a keeper

I like your Honda element 👍🏼 great car

Shredding! We went the weekend before and it was a muddy good time! Now I wish we went the following weekend so we could have ridden/ filmed with you for our video. Awesome video as always!

Gutted that I didn't run into you Phil given how quiet the place was for closing day due to the snow. It was definitely one of the most fun days I've had on my bike though! Getting loose on the snow in the morning and channeling my inner Sam Hill & Danny Hart at Champery through the mud in the afternoon! I definitely need to get a waterproof mat to stand on to change at the end of the day like you had. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet you soon!

That looked awesome fun, had me laughing most of the way through :D Nice riding my dude.

style over 9000

Superb rider

I honestly have never been so jealous in all my life!!!!!

Sick 🤙👍🏻

I wish I could've been there and good job at riding really good in the snow and mud

What an absolute MADLAD

I'm from Vermont next door to New Hampshire. I love riding my bike in the snow. It's my favorite thing to do in the winter besides hunting and ice fishing.

Awesome video as always! It’s weird to think I was skiing like an hour away while you were shredding highland!

That was nuts lol.

So frikin fast man!

i couldn't turn away.... you made it look super fun. if it were me all you would get would be brake squeals and crashes.

Man that looks so much fun albeit it a little muddy! Props to getting out there and getting some footage especially remembering to wipe the camera as much as possible.

dude the bleep sound was a giggle from when he and seths bike hacks went tandem mountain biking what a great video keep it up

Love riding in the snow. We just got 11" overnight. Been out all day in it!

Shot Phil, great vid man

I was the one who yelled at you from the lift

Ive never watched a full video of someone riding in the snow...even my own. But you sir, are rad.

That's some crazy bike control right there, some of the lines you took made my stomach turn 😨👍 brilliant video man! Bring some lens wipes next time though 😁

Man I‘m jealous. We had one snowy day ... and it all melted the same day! I got a 3 inch tyred bike and want some snow rides!

youre the best bro

Please do more videos like this!!
