Testing A New Coil Shock On My Trail Bike

I got a Cane Creek Tigon Coil shock in to replace the shock I broke a few weeks back, so today we're at my local bike park to break it in a little. Along the way we got side tracked, so I didn't really get to put the shock through the paces but it felt good to see how it felt on some heavy hitting trails at bolton valley.

I was sure this felt way smoother than usual and sure enough this one is 60fps. I like it.

@skillswithphil at the 26:42 mark there were 2 boulders on the right, hard to tell from video but looked like you might be able to rock to rock gap or something. Always enjoy your content.

Phil whatever your doing with your GoPro KEEP DOING IT. I caught myself saying stuff like wow this trail is really fun. And not looks really fun😅

I run my 2021 GT Force with a coil and it feels so much better than it did with an air shock. Something about the linkage on that frame plays so well with the coil. It feels better on everything aside from climbs.

What perfect timing to get on YouTube!

Getting your suspension dialed is a losing battle, I click and turn things for months without taking notes then my 8 yrs old nephew comes for xmas and fk things over playing with the shiny knobs ... 😂

Love the 4k60fps on the gopro looks so clean

SAR(speed alloy racing) springs come in 25lb increments if you think 50lbs is too much. Great springs and people

Phil, you should try Burke mountain!!!!

[rossifur]

Thank you for using 60fps. I would rather have 1080p60fps over higher resolution any day. BTW literally bought a sensor because of you lol.

I’ve been looking into mountain bikes and I’m not sure what to get. I’m currently wanting to start that is why I’m not sure. Any recommendations??

[MTB_Corbin]

Always enjoy watching you rip down trails! Any thoughts/preference on 24 vs 30 vs 60fps recording? I wonder how much lighting conditions change the preference too. The day you filmed this had dang near perfect lighting

[BobbySchaffer]

will coil protect your body and bike from damage?

[Bigtomstud]

I'm super interested in the coil change. I've been thinking about moving over to a coil but too nervous to pull the trigger.

I’m such of a big fan of you that one year I put on my Christmas list, meet skills with Phil and I’m always at bike parks the day before or after Phil 😡🤬

[TobyTemple-gu]

U should come to Christchurch adventure park

Hey Phil, everyone tells me I should ride a hardtail for a year (which I already bought.) What are your thoughts on the first year on a hardtail thing? I'm 34 btw so not super young, haha.

Hi Phil, quick question if you don’t mind, GF (beginner/intermediate) and I looking to go biking either Killington or Highland… Which would you recommend ? TY !

[EastTexasPatriot]

Curious…
Are we done saying “Thanks for playing bikes with me today.”?
I always kinda enjoyed that 😏

[joecavalier]

Hey Phil, do you run your gopro on your chin? If so do you do anything to reduce breathing noise while you ride? Thanks!
