Frame-by-frame, slow motion, and 5-seconds-backward will all definitely be used and appreciated by this crowd. Also, strangely, I've found that YouTube and other broad video sites don't have a lot of quality extreme sports footage that is easy to find, so they are definitely fulfilling a need.

They have a pretty targeted audience, too, so they may be able to generate relatively high CPMs. I like the customized player they use.
