saw left and right spinning which is cool to see and decent rail tricks. but less flatground and little 180s and less footage of inruns. but pretty solid edit i'd say

All over it was OK,

But try to work on not making the inruns so long, I know it might have been for syncing purposes (which was also good ) but not everything needs to be synced.

The filmin was a lil shaky but this is about the edit so whatever,

other than that great work man!

ya, it seems like mt high has a thing about setting up really tiny down rails, and it was about 60-70 degrees during the day right before we started filming that afternoon. o and another excuse(haha) i had a broken arm

Not bad.  Not my favorite song, but it was good.  You were good on rails and boxes and you hit a lot of stuff switch, which I think is awesome (I'm horrible at hitting stuff switch).  It would be really cool though if you hit some bigger jumps though, because you totally have potential, maybe your park didn't have larger options though, well Mammoth did.  I could tell you got smoother as the video went on.  Definitely go through and fix the kinks though, for 45 minutes of editing, I would say that's great.  Keep posting, I'll be glad to give you feedback.  Just want to say that Mammoth is my favorite place to ski, it's super sick!  Oh, maybe a little less follow cam too.

if you have ever been to bear/mt high during spring it gets to be 60+ every day making snow very slow, and hitting the bigger jumps nearly impossible. the day at bear was also during the open so the better jump line was closed and in mammoth i met up with a friend of mine and we were just warming up on south park, and then we went over to main and it was too windy to hit any bigger stuff. we went over to forest trail and i over shot a jump doing a front flip and ended up going 1 and a half and separated my shoulder, i only was at mammoth filming for about 2 hours that day.

jumps at night also suck, and we were only there for about 3 hours, we drove up after class, got there at 2 left at about 5.


all of this filming is probably from a combined 8 hours, so not that long

You should put in a good shot that shows you're the only good black skier on the earth. Maybe cut out most of the inrun footage and make the whole edit more concise. How do you like the voleurz hoodie?


PS: I'm the kid who traded you the hoodie at momentum.

so you liked it?
every one of those jumps at bear and mammoth were over 15 feet, only jumps that were 15 were the ones at mt high and do you like to hit jumps when the light is low? cause i dont...
and the ones at bear were all about 20/30s so not big but not tiny, and the jumps at mammoth were all 30-40

if you want to say something bad about the video thats cool, but dont be an ass. or if you want to talk shit on me at least back it up with a video of your own

but hey, i guess haters just hate

You pretty much kept your hands at your sides the entire time which was neat.
You mad a lot of the tricks look real good by doing that.
The shifty thingey on the mammoth rail was pretty dope.

Maybe show less crashes, 180's, make it a shorter, faster edit?

I liked it.....watched it twice. Really smooth style, nice flips and corks, I think you could work on holding onto grabs a little longer, but grabs were pretty sick anyway. Camera was shaky most of the time, which was annoying, but thats not really your fault. If you were at the mountain i ski at you'd be the best park skier, hands down. I also liked how much footage ya had. According to Surfing magazine though, making your own edit lowers your core score, so watch out, lol.(sarcasm)

ya, the switch into rails, that was the first day i ever hit a rail switch, that night at mt high.
o and that wall ride, if you look at the end of the video you will see how flat the lip is, it was impossible to get to the coping at the angle the lip was so i just did some like wall pop stylie thing.

and could you explain the spinning thing a little more im not quite suer i get what ur saying

you need to take some time to work on your crashing skills... bails should only be in the vid if they are incredibly funny or painful looking, those were just regular fuck ups. Seriously tho I liked the vid

Solid edit, at first you really needed to quiet down your upper body but as the edit went on you got way smoother. My only other critique was that there was way to many wide-angle/fisheye shots. Maybe one or two fisheye shots in an entire edit is acceptable in my opinion. But the skiing was dope.

the moves were sick. But try to work on your style (not that i'm better than you jsut saying) like try to put your feets closer wen u ride switch. alot of switch mvoes which is sick and dont let your cameraman drink before he starts filming my head hurts so bad right now, but again your moves were sick ! (hope my feedback helps)
