    It is good to know people don't get bored if the video is too long.

    Wow thanks for sharing a other fantastic video Lance really enjoyed it. That last trail you did look really fun. Which is one I have never done before. These exciting videos they should never have to worry about time it just flies by while you are watching it. If they was a boring video it would be a different story. But maté you never have that problem. Keep up the amazing videos always looking forward to seeing you on the next episode take care Lance

      Glad the video is not boring. It is interesting though that the views are quite low on this one. Not sure if the length puts some viewers off.

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  Před rokem +1

      My aim was always 15 mins but I always struggle to edit them down. I nearly split this one in two but decided to try a long one.

  • @mseekles1972
    @mseekles1972 Před rokem +1

    • @bestdayevermtb2

  • @marcelknop1
    @marcelknop1 Před rokem +1

    Great vid as usual Lance. For me personally, I tend to watch 10 minute videos more than longer ones. That's about the max time I tend to subconsciously use to select what to watch, and, truth be told, is probably my attention span limit. I have seen reports that suggest that the most viewed videos are usually shorter, between 7-15 minutes, and that seems to align with my own aforementioned personal preferences.

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  Před rokem

      I agree 100%. I watch a lot of short videos. I always made sure they never went over 20 minutes, but my aim is 15minutes. Interestingly lots of comments from the regulars on this video but overall, it is down on views. I wonder if people are put off by the length.

    Yeah Boi Cam does not have mass working with gravity to assist him downhill hence his not as fast speed, I dont want to use the slow. This was so good I would happily have watched another 15 mins of it. Some great saves there.

      To be honest I am over it now. Some people say keep trying but I feel paralyzed with fear now whenever any Maori word needs to be said. I am thinking of avoiding all Maori words and simply writing them on the screen. This seems like a cop out, but I don't believe I will ever satisfy people no matter how much I improve. Whatever I do I cannot win on this one.
