Not bad for a first edit. Filming skill will come eventually, work on keeping the cam steady and on target. Also edit out some of the in runs. Otherwise not bad, you had some good angles, and i liked that shot of the box where you jumped over the camera.

If you do follow cams use a fisheye or a wideangle that will reduce chop and make the shot alot steadier, Get a tripod and really focus on keeping the shot steady and slow.

cutting out some of the inruns would cut like half the video down, and it is a bit lengthy. but not bad

personally, I would also cut out the inruns, and I would adjust the colours a bit. By that I mean saturate the colour, because the shots are a little boring visually. As for the skiing and the editing, I think they're pretty good.

that was pretty legit for a first edit, sense your dealing with alot of flat light you should pick up a 81A filter for your camera. And if you ever see the sun i would also grab a circular polarizer for bright days, filters will make all the difference in the definition in your shots. And as mentioned before get a fisheye for those follows.

Overall nice and fun to watch goodluck with the next one.

dope.  It looks like you are really pushing yourself to progress.  I won't be redundant, so I'll just suggest that you focus on relaxing a bit more (oxymoron?). My favorite shot was of the big slow 180 2/3rds through or so.  Add a shifty to your arsenal and that would be the money shot.  Kepp killin' it.

Hey guys thanks alot, o and with the blood that was my nose and it was bleeding because I broke it and sprained my shoulder if you look close you can see heads on the landing it turns out there was like a family just chilling out on the bottom of the landing and I fell trying not to hit them, and also I live in Wisconsin and it was a pretty non sunny year but ill try the saturation and cutting stuff thanks again

tail 5 at the begginning was sick.  i think its cooler to do a slower spin but make it look steezy rather than do a sloppy 9.  it was good and your edits will get better.  keep it steezy.

your tricks were pretty solid... pretty stock looking but at least you have a decent bag... all i'd say is keep it up and get your style down a little bit (like someone else said just become more relaxed, which comes with practice)... also just a little bit more practice with the camera and i think you'll have some baller edits for next year..

That is what I was thinking. Having your poles shorter by maybe 5 or 6 inches will make a world of difference. I liked the skiing alot. Not bad editing/filiming since it is your first, but just do what everyone else has said and cut your inruns and work on better filming.

that was pretty sick, just cut your poles and maybe tuck up or grab on your harder tricks like your cork 9. other than that, that was a sick edit. oh yeah maybe invest in some bigger pants

Not too bad of an edit.  Like mentioned above, smaller poles makes flailing look less bad.  I would just keep workin on your switch spins and comfort in the air.  You did a pretty good job of hitting a few bigger rails-the dfd, and fd, just keep workin towards spins off, then switch ups, then spins on, etc.
