Has anyone else noticed that the view count is now over 3/4 of a million? Am I right in thinking that’s 3/4 million computer IP’s, not 3/4 million views? This really is what mountain biking coverage is about. What made me sit up and take notice was when 2 of my non-mountain biking mates posted the link up on facebook. OK, so part of the reason the hit count is so high must be down to Rob Warner & Nige Page’s fantastic comments, but still… Awesome stuff. I wonder if/when the likes of the BBC or C4 will sit up and take notice in this.

good point – but C4 do occasionally (or have in the past) show highlights of the DH champs on “Freesports on 4” (usually about 3:55am). I think that’s the best we can hope for.

View count where? On YT? Probably “page views” rather than “unique views” if that’s what you mean.

Great though I agree.

If the mainstream TV channels do take notice it’ll probably just be to hire Warner to do the F1 commentary though.

😉

May be on Eurosport later on today.

I’d actualy pay a sky subscription to watch that!

I reckon so too, and I’ve watched it about 20 times 🙂

Rob Warner does the commentary on Red Bull X Fighters on Dave and he’s a lot more professional/boring than on Freecaster sadly.

I saw the X Fighters the other day and they don’t really make enough of him do they?

He was just doing a reaction bit after each run with another guy doing the commentary during the actual riding I think.

Wonder how many other disappointed MTB fans won’t be tuning into it again.

🙂

If its “page views”, then quite a lot of them can be credited to my son. He loves it!

Also had non-riding friends getting excited about it.

Maybe it’ll inspire them to discover the joys of chucking themselves down mountains too?

yup, completely non-mtb colleague, who is aware of my passion, came over to ask if I’d seen it. Cool!

Kev

doesnt count the numerous YT vids that were pulled, took me an age to find one when i was looking last week

“I’m going to give you a high five like Brett Tippie!”
