As a level 30 runner (since Feb of last year) and level 100 rider who has been on Zwift since Nov of 2015, I really don't have much use for the bike racer types giving runners grief. The worst thing on Zwift is racers. Runner should get more love. And Simon should get the Tron. As for stats, I wonder how many level 30 runners/level 100 riders there are. Ride on, glad the podcast is back.
@@simonSPS I get it....and understand. Love the podcast, but like everything Zwift, far too much emphasis on racing...for those of us that don't give two hoots about racing, to have stuff we do care about laughed at by racers types....well.....gotta fight back!
"Listen to what the community wants" That was what the Zwift Advisory was meant to be. But...uhhh...yeah, that didn't happen. There was no listening to the community going on with that. It was deeply disappointing how the potential was wasted.
Podcast topic idea: Zwiftcast talks about racing a lot of the time - but rarely about the ordinary people, the back-of-the-pack people, the slow riders. Might I suggest you talk about that at some point? And may I also suggest you talk to Linda @zwiftingwithgranny She is an inspiration for all of us at the back who are often ignored. She recently wrote an article for Zwift insider about how Zwift has helped her through recent life difficulties. Just lately she's had a knee replacement and all her Zwift riding has helped her heal quickly.
LOL, "We won't make this mistake again." What about the last ten times there was no communication? or miscommunication? (help me with these) Nerfed the safety bike, concept bike. Made the jungle slower, made the epic climb slower with 'ice' surface, promised something that never appeared like segment-based workouts, Switzerland and Belgium cancelled world maps, added weird, rabid crowds of people in several worlds, made the aero power-up shorter,
Bravo. It's about time the message got thru to Zwift HQ that forcing users to re-earn their banked XP was a mistake from the start, and that by stubbornly compounding that mistake over multiple iterations, they've frustrated their long-term users and made XP and XP Levels ludicrously meaningless. Time to bite the bullet and take a Roto-Rooter to the entire XP and Leveling scheme, ASAP.
Hi there, I was just wondering if you had any hope finding a co-host for the podcast? If not I would love to put my name forward as I feel I can offer a great perspective on zwift as a racer, community members and of a young generation.
Great show! As a community event organiser I want to give a massive shoutout to James Bailey at Zwift. James works so hard to us and does an incredible job. 👏
Something not pointed out about the lack of class of MyWhoosh is that is appears to be just another ad campaign for the despicable government of the UAE. They can afford to be "free" (if you don't count losing part of your soul) because the UAE is pumping oil money into cycling to distract from their horrible human rights record via sportswashing. Their intention could be to keep MyWhoosh around as a "free" product for a while, then turn off the money spigot, after they feel their goal has been achieved They might have no intention of building a long-term business.
Thrilled to have the Zwiftcast back and I was so excited to see it on RU-vid expecting to “see” the Casters. Alas, no video but glad just to hear those knowledgeable voices again.
I don't use a turbo trainer that much, if I can help it. But when I do, I find that because there is no movement in the bike or handlebars, I was getting shoulder and neck aches and sometimetimes some back aches. Since building my own rockerplate type of platform, I've found that I no longer suffer with these issues. I no longer use the standard front wheel block supplied with many trainers. I Just have a flat block, the same height as the rear wheel. This allows the handlebars to move freely.
They have these tools, and still they aren't able to match the asphalt to the ground... it's 2021, zwift is making a lot of money, yet we are riding our bikes on floating asphalt.
Fascinating video! I'm relatively new to Zwift (February 2021) and love it. It was really interesting to see the history of Zwift's development. In terms of future developments, I'd like to see more Zwift-organised large-group events. I also think differentiating between "community races" vs "elite/competitive races" would be interesting. Sarah on the the Channel "Everything is Photogenic" has two excellent vids talking through her gripes about Zwift, with suggestions. Worth a watch - put the kettle on as they are also about 1 hr total! p.s. I can't believe you have so few likes to this video. I can see why you decided to stick with the audio podcast.
Just a follow-up. This video prompted me to learn how to listen to podcasts (I know; I'm a slow learner), since when I have been listening to past Zwiftcasts, from 101 backwards (I'm now at Zwiftcast 89). I'm loving them! I have gained a deeper appreciation of what I do have in Zwift, hearing about how all of these newer features developed over time. It's particularly interesting to hear the interviews with the big Kahunas in Zwift. I can't think of many major companies that would be as open to questions. Keep up the podcasts, you have a new subscriber!
I loved this look back in time and all the wonderful commentary about how to continue improving the platform. I am really excited for the investments I am seeing at Zwift HQ to address a lot of what you brought up. Ride on.
Just absolutely delighted to see this Zwiftcast. My favourite Zwift info channel. Edit: DEFINITELY should be open world. Because I *like* Zwifting in a lonely place. When there are tons of people around I can't stand it - it makes me anxious. So not only should it be open world, there should be LOTS more worlds and courses added so I can be alone if I want to be.
