This Place Should Not Exist, But I'm REALLY Glad it Does!

Riding Duthie Hill Bike Park in Issaquah Washington. This is one of my favorite public bike parks with plenty of drop, ladders, dirt jumps to go around. Anytime I'm in the area, I like to make a stop here for a quick session as I often find it more fulfilling than a trail ride.

I know it's a pain and a lot of extra work getting all those alternate takes and angles for a video, but I think they add a lot. It was worth the effort IMO.

I live 20 minutes away from duthie and I love it so much. Great to see it getting even more publicity

I'm so envious of your ability to get onto a jump trail that you either don't know or haven't ridden in a long time and just flow so smoothly. I don't jump because they get in my head too much. I'd love to learn and get comfortable with them, though.

Never ceases to amaze me how confident you are hitting big lines completely blind!

Man that backflip was awesome wish I could ride again ❤❤

[ARandomRandy]

I learned to ride here over 12 years ago and still ride here to this day! Such a gem, so glad you could show it off to the community! I love that the park has everything from beginner to expert. It's great to take someone riding for the first time or 1, 000th time

One of my favorite places I've ridden. Such a fun place with something for everyone. So glad it's free. I wish I lived closer.

really appreciating the effort to capture all these different angles of you riding. really adds a good dynamic to the video

I was just thinking last week that I need to go there to brush up on some skills. Thanks for the motivation! 😆 It’s always worth the hour drive to get there. And thanks for the additional views in the video.

Even the sound of the dirt, hits me different. loooove them! Specially here in Washington, we get really good dirt i feel.

[reecevidler]

Awesome video, good to see you just having fun, with no stress at all, loved the stills that you had

[yumcaxion]

Just rode at Duthie yesterday. It made me wish there was something even remotely similar closer to where I live. I've been learning to jump over the past year and I think having a park like Duthie with so much variety where it's so easy to get repetition and practice is crucial!

My buddy took my to Duthie when I didnt know anything about mountain biking and I was blown away. That place is amazing, would love to go back.

[riggedupgaming]

NO WAY! I went here while on vacation a week ago!! HLC was the first black diamond trail I've ever cleared and it was amazing, so cool to see you there!

[SamuelLewin]

i got into riding at duthie and it has grown, especially those sweetlines bike camps as a kid helped me progress a ton to where i am today, nowadays i dont ride there as much as i am on the sweetlines race team and we train at raging river but i like to go back when i can.

edit:
i am planning on spending some time there because the new jumps and trails are amazing, the builders have gotten so much better in the last couple months, also at 4:30 i actually helped rebuild that jump (deepwater)

First YouTube video with a backflip I ever saw was Phil on the Raleigh Tokul hardtail. I had searched for Tokul because I had just bought one, my first "modern" mountain bike. Subscribed to Phil right then and there!

[Whoadayson]

This park looks like they update it outve love for the sport. Nice to see! Cool designs too!

[TonightWeGrill]

Phil I’ve been using your videos to help my daughter get used to looking further down the trail.

She has a bad habit of watching her front tire.

Keep up the awesomeness!

Absolutely love seeing some 3rd person clips! keep it up!

First off, backflips will ALWAYS be cool. 2nd, it’s nice to see you session a step up with some tricks. That was unexpected. 3rd, I can’t backflip, so not EVERYBODY can do it. 😉
