  • Great job, Shane. This is going to be helpful to so many new Zwifters! Thanks for your efforts! Ride on!
  • @gemmot2414
    Hi Shane. Can't thank you enough for this tutorial and all your Zwift Tips, which I've been watching in anticipation of joining Zwift this Friday! Extremely excited as it's been a long time waiting but hopefully see you in Watopia soon!
  • That was a great video to watch as a newbie Zwifter like myself! I was quite overwhelmed at what I saw when I signed-up a couple of days ago, but by watching this I can see what a lot of the features are about. Thanks for the video Shane, I see you're a fellow September 1978 baby - happy birthday!
  • @skydave9317
    I needed this 3 weeks ago! Still, I learned a couple of things that I haven't worked out for myself yet. Unfortunately, You Tube doesn't start recommending videos until you have already watched something similar.

    My 15sec of fame moment. Cheers Shane! ๐Ÿ˜€. Something to note for that future video on a more advanced setup is that some streaming services (like Facebook) have much lower limits on the resolution / bitrate that they will accept from a streamer. Just in the process of update my blog post on steps for Team3R streamers since moving over to SLBOS as my streaming app.

    You have, hands down, the best Zwift content I could find on YouTube. After a season on illness last fall and winter, I have found myself in the worst shape of my life. Due to COVID-19, my husband and I finally decided it was time to get a trainer and hook up to Zwift. There has definitely been a learning curve but I am loving it!!! The training FTP boosting training plans offer a better workout than a spin class for sure. Thank you for all you fantastic content.
  • Hi Simon. Just started my Zwift journey and very happy to have found your channel. Great information and has enabled me to use the program much more effectively. Signed up and powering on. Cheers
