little less slow mo

pretty good skiing though, but needs more cliffs and stuff if youre doing powder

haha sick edit man, you and the bro killin it. i love mauri's cameo. good filming and editing, this has lots of potential. you guys are still young, so you have lots of time to improve and polish your skiing, so keep up the good work. too bad there were no waldo shots in it haha. keep posting edits, get as much advice as you can, and keep trying to get better

Ya i definitely agree with you
we didnt get that much footage in fact the footage in the vid is basically all that we had so i didnt want it to end up really short and quick
i have a tripod but really didnt want to carry it around in the pow and stuff so i figure that i'll use it in the park
thanks for responses

basically what everyone else said.
you did get a little carried away with the slow mo's, but very good for the most part.
very clean editing for it being your first one.

I found one thing to be not as great as everyone else thought it was. skiing, spend more time out of the park, from this video the way you ski shows that you spend more time in the park and not skiing the actual mountain. From what I could tell though, I may be wrong. With that being said, don't be afraid to ski hard in pow, ski the shit out of it. Don't be afraid of pow, it seemed as if you were intimidated by the terrain and snow conditions you were skiing. Spend more time skiing that stuff, and find someone older than you to give you some pointers and push yourself.

Overall, great job guys. Lots of potential for sure.

no disrespect or anything, because i see where your going here, but the ratio we ski park/mountain is around 30/70
we don't really get to ski that much since we are in NY only around 20 - 30 days per year (this year we are lucky and have alot more than usual) but if there is snow we try to ski that rather than the park.
it is completely fair of you to say this because you didnt really know what we ski, and i thank you for the advice because this is the same advice i would be giving to any park rats too.
not saying that we dont like the park, and anyway we just got into the park last year...
thanks for all the comments, and we will post the full video when it is done
peace

yeah man! don't be afraid to point the tips downhill! a lot of side to side skiing, but totally a sick edit, I tried to put together a montage last year and it sucked bawls compared to this.

^^ this dude talks sense. ski behind someone better than you, that is how you learn. sick job though, wish i was out west with ya ..

Well, that sucks. Still, ski with someone more advanced than you, it will push you to become better so you can keep up, and learn from watching.

Cheers bro.

dear sirs:
take no offense at my following comments, but prepare yourself for this unnecessary verbally belittling comments. stop doing everything you did in that edit. keep up the good work.
yours,
 me.

seriously, that was completely unwarranted. these are two east coast kids making the most of a great powder day at jackson. I am truly sorry they did not adequately satisfy your expectations for two young kids skiing.

Dont hate on some kids putting out a fun edit just because it wasn't, in your opinion, up to snuff. I have nothing against you at all, in fact, you are one of my favorite posters on this site. That being said, please dont trash a kid's edit like that. we all started from somewhere, even the best of us.
Happy thursday

just having fun man, i'm sure u understand that
i agree the skiing in this edit isnt that amazing but that is mostly because we didnt film that much and were just trying to have fun skiing and hopefully have enough footage to make a little edit at the end of our trip. i didnt even thing i'd be able to put something together with the little amount of time i spent filming and stuff
trust me when i say we dont suck, but then again we dont get 50+ days on the snow each year
again, happy thursday

dear cockhead, read the rest of a post before being a jackass.


a better way i could have said it is, dont bother filming, work on skiing then put it on film.
also you guys are from the eastcoast? gotta rep teh east better than that haha

and happy thursday to you kids too.

^yo bro chill
as far as i know we are all in this sport cuz we have fun doing it so keep the hate out of this thread
realistically i am not looking to "go pro" in skiing especially because i dont get out that often...
but when i do get to ski i try to have fun and i happen to like fillming and editing so i just make edits

i did read your whole post. it was entirely contradictory. First, you tell them not to expect any offense in the following post, after which you somehow manage to offend them, despite your assurance that this would not happen. after proceeding to hate on two kids you do not know, telling them, in essence, that their edit was not worth the film, you close, instructing them to keep at it. perhaps next time you think you have to say something bad, mean "no offense," or the like, you should consider keeping it to yourself.
Have a great friday in approximately 49 minutes, EST.

uhhh son ns is annoying me right now. what you have just said is right, and there is a similar thread right now of some 14 year old kids in the park, and people hating on them so i posted a similar response to now. who cares if people arent amazing in their edits, who are you guys to judge? and who are you comparing them to? yourselves? so all of you are better? proof? no... as all the pros say when they'r asked to give advice to people to get to where they are now, they say, just make sure your having fun and loving skiing, thats how youll get to where you want to go. well fuck me this is what these kids are doing, and they get hated on. i think its sick that these 2 dudes are out skiing, doing some filming, having a killer time, what else do you expect? is making edits limited to only the best? fuck that. iv had contact with s[k]iing27 in the past and hes a super legit kid, not one of these aragant fuckers who are cockey as shit who slay it and get props from everyone.
good work boys, look forward to your next edi, fuck the hate
