Full Pull Down Whistler From The Top Of the Gondola!

During crankworx, I was supposed to be in the whistler village by 2pm, but I tried to sneak in one more run when I found myself at the top of the Gondola with less than 20 minutes to get down.

Keep in mind a bunch of trails had been closed for one reason or another over the week due to ongoing Crankworx events, work on the new Fitzsimmons chair, and trail maintenance. I'm not a Whistler local, and had I thought about this a bit more, I would have taken a much different and direct route, but hindsight is 20/20. For example, Angry Pirate had not been opened the previous runs, so I assumed it was not opened all this week. I would have also taken original sin instead of freight train.

I love that the struggle to get to work on time during rush hour is a universal reality in all jobs

Phil coming to the Nobl booth like he hasn't just absolutely rampaged their wheelset. True testament to how good these rims are.

my glutes and quads are screaming from my couch as I braced for each landing, turn, and gap -- not too mention my lungs from holding my breath for 15 minutes. Epic rip down!

The bottom half of the lap when you were really able to open up was some of the most impressive riding I've seen. Soooo insanely fast!

[RobDuggan]

Man, I was watching that and felt my head going from side to side, just like watching the bobsled at the Winter Olympics! Dude, I have been subbed to your channel for about 7 years now and your riding is always fun to watch. Been out of riding the last 2 years... life got in the way a bit but I am getting my mojo back to riding. Ordered a new bike and have been binging on my riders I've subbed to over the years. Thanks for your inspiration! I'm 51 this year but never felt more like a kid watching this stuff, so cool.

Phil is a lot faster than most people think, camera really doesn’t do justice, next trip you need to come down and tour Arkansas 🔥💯🇺🇸

[jynx]

This video is a great reminder of how amazing your abilities really are.

[Hoosieroutdoor]

When your the fastest on the trail and nobody can touch you then you get past by Phil doing Mach F$%@🤣🤣
Man you freaking flying!!

[jimg]

Totally blew by that guy on the fire road when he probably thought he was cruising! You are seriously CRAZY fast!!

[RamboRob]

I don't know if I blinked throughout this entire video. Dude... how do you not lose it going through those trees and rocky terrain. I mean.. damn this is sick riding.

This type of video may not perform as well as others, but I miss this type of video from the Youtuber riders. Just nice quality footage of solid runs. I would love to see more single run videos for the sounds, commentary, and beautiful scenery. Thanks for this one!

Thank you so much for posting this! My 6 & 7 year olds have been watching every one of your videos for a few years now, and we were at the top of Whistler today, watched people start riding down, saw riders under our gondola on the way down, and watched people ending at the bottom. This video was great for our kids to see what that all looks like from your point of view, and then see you ride up almost next to our hotel.. they really enjoyed seeing this, knowing you and Nick were here only a short time ago. Keep posting great varieties of videos!

[musiqueetmontagne]

WoW Phil, fantastic run... You can shred like crazy when you're late.. Thanks for uploading... Great run man!

[markmcguigan]

Oh man. I swear, I was on the edge of my seat for that amazing ride. You are one crazy dude.

[BrianSimmons]

Just by happenstance, I started watching this video with about 20 minutes before I needed to leave for a meeting. I honestly didn't look at the length of the video before I started watching it (but Phil's videos are usually about that long so I thought I'd be safe). It was great to experience nearly the same "time anxiety" as Phil did. It certainly made watching the video that much more fun! Keep up the good work Phil!

[TheScalawag]

I loved the race against the clock format of this video. Great example of how a slightly different concept for a riding video can be super compelling. Not to mention the way you sped through some of those completely blown out tech trails...

[gregorycobb]

One of the more fun vids to watch. Top to bottom, just GO!

[kimbersal]

Phil, I watch hundreds of mtb videos. I’ve been riding hard for over 40 years. (Santa Cruz native). From just this video, you might be one of the smoothest and maybe fastest riders I’ve ever seen. Thank you. Liked, subscribed, shared and all notifications. Ok, time to watch more!

[lameboysmtb]

Im missing all the whistler content on YouTube i wanna go back so badly. Phil you are always the most impressive to watch on YouTube man your pov is always insane and somehow surpasses the gopro effect.

[angusgill]

This has to be my favorite video of yours. It had me on the edge of the seat more then the latest movies.
