I've made the realization that a few years ago, there used to be a lot more discussion about videos in the comments section. Nowadays, even though there is a ton of discussion in the forum, it seems like the comments section of the site isn't quite as alive as it used to be... Any reasons as to why?

I think a lot of the members on here now use the come up to watch videos so that could be a reason why

I've never had any issues with the video player.
In fact, the majority of the videos we use are from YouTube or Vimeo, in which case it uses their video player.

The vital video player sucks dick for those of us that don't have either good internet speeds or in my case, a pretty old semi crappy laptop and it can't keep up and it lags toooo much
youtube videos and vimeo videos don't really lag

but seriously if you did a comment section where instead of being a member or using facebook it would be way better. like on news sites where you put your name email and your comment. ive never been so excited about something that i wanted to sign into vital or facebook. and if i did i ended up just posting it in the forum or on facebook. if im already signed in then i might say something but not usually.

plus on the come up you just scroll down the page and hit play for most videos. on here every single page on here you have to click on it to see the video then click back to get the list. which means less people on here which in turn means less comments.

You have to scroll past about 5-10 video links to get to the comment box lately...laziness could be a factor?

Yeah, in my mind this is probably a big reason as to why, (though it's probably always been this way). I've definitely thought about making it easier to comment by not having to log in. Maybe this is something we will implement in the future.

I've heard other people complain about this, but the majority of users have no issues. Maybe try updating flash player, if that doesn't help, then it might be a less that stellar computer or slow internet. However, we do upload a large majority of our feature videos to our YouTube Channel. Check it out!

Also, it's crazy to hear you refer to Van and Darryl as "lesser-known" (to the kids), but I guess there could be some truth to that. I was raised on their riding, but nowadays there are a ton of fresh younger riders in their prime killing it too!

well i think everyone knows who van is but he doesn't put much footage out anymore.
and now with riders like stevie and devon and others putting out videos bi weekly its even harder. Darryl and van put alot more thought into their videos.

I use vital at school because the school wifi blocked youtube and vimeo. so none of the TCU videos work. keep the vital video player
