During the opening weekend at Whistler I got a chance to do a few laps with Phil Kmetz
you know him as Skills with Phil, he is a very good rider I already knew that
from watching his videos but I knew that even more so now from riding behind him
our first run we did together was down A-Line and you could see that on Phil's channel
I did not film that run but we are gonna do a few other runs for this video
so what do you want to check out Detroit Rock City then Phil?
yeah let's do that one so do you know these first trails
though like B-Line into Funshine Rolly Drops?
first thing we're gonna do, we're gonna make our way down to Detroit Rock City hitting some blue trails along the way
He's fricken boosting it!
All right here we go left!
all right yeah down here blueseum, this one is fun and flowy
One thing that was so impressive about him is that he could just read a trail so well that
he could go in totally blind and just hit all kinds of lines that I never even
do or even necessarily see myself, I've never really ridden with anyone like
that it's not really something I'm used to but it's really cool and it's inspiring to see
just sending these lines!
you were sending it like crazy!
Clown Shoes and Detroit Rock City start here
both super cool double black
yeah like Detroit Rock City's got a cool, some cool features
like right at the beginning there's like two features I mean we could just stop and take a look.
there's like a wooden roller
No I'm not worried about it let's just go
Let's hit up Detroit Rock City!
alright here we go ah do some sketchy wood thing
here's awesome Dwayne Johnson yeah it's close
yeah did you run through the gate all
right oh yes oh cool so it's a big roller
jump in it yeah okay
Wow all right design little jump here
my idea for you to find all the good stuff yeah that's clown shoes it's a
concrete verb yeah cheese is good the climate is fine clown
shoes it's got a little bit more flow okay some of the same tech but like a
little bit more flow and let's finish the truck city then yeah oh
yeah right into a lower Whistler downhill
yeah this rock is sketch baby ah down Troost it
part of Darkness is also in perfect shape part of darkness is one of those
end of the run trails it gets a lot of traffic because you don't really have
much options after that and so the braking bumps form a lot and it kind of
sucks a lot but it can be pretty fun when it's in really good shape like it
is now
yeah dude I'm having so much fun like a roosting those left quarters I've never
done them so well in my life I've never had so much conference before and I'm
just like cutting anything and my back tire like kind of sucks that's so fun
and so a bit later in the day Phil organized the big train down cranked it
up I think we had around 20 riders show up
and it was a pretty chaotic but fun run I think crank it up train
boys Senate bill
all right
alright alright
the worst turn in the whole bike park
breathing don't worry
Bell has all the line
this guy
ha
good times Olli okay bend it
all right
well I get to talk
right
that was a good time and about an hour later we went for one more lap which
you've already seen in my last week's video so you know exactly how this
turned out Phil wanted a trout slayer or something
happy to show him it I thought I'd be sweet to have him up front especially
considering he can read the trail perfectly any way he does not need a
guide in front of him but I did end up getting a flat tire on the rear end I'm
not a hundred percent sure where it happened
you might have been from of this drop or something where then it just took about
you know 10 15 seconds to finally come out but either way that really sucked
and fill it no idea so you just get going so that was when I'm riding with
Phil and it was a lot of fun and I think he's definitely one of if not the best
rider I've ever ridden with so it was kind of an eye-opener and an inspiration
to kind of see that riding right in front of my eyes like that is really
awesome and I hope that we can ride more this year I'm not too sure if that's
gonna happen I know I would love to come out his way to High Line mountain bike
park that place that's awesome but we'll see what the future holds I'm
also going to take this opportunity to shut out NF they sponsor me with
