My YouTube video thumbnail only displays 8 views?

When I click on the video it shows that I have 197 views but the thumbnail says only 8 views. This is the first video I have put on YouTube, and just for a reference I'll include the URL (It's just a skydive stunt, not an ad...) Obviously I'd like the display to show the correct number of views, so I'm curious why the thumbnail is stuck at 8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze0aC1nuekI

    That happens when a video is being viewed too many times in a short period of time. Basically, it's when too many people are watching the video for YouTube to update it for every single view.

    Wait for 24 hours or 48 hours, the view counts will update.
