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.

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!
