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.

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!!

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!

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 🔥💯🇺🇸

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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!

“We’ve waited in line at Highland for longer” such sad, true words 😢😂

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!
