I didn't really like it, and i'll tell you how you can make it much better. Change the intro up, we have all seen getting on getting off the lift. It's been done in every video so try and get more creative think of something different that hasn't been done. Filming was bland and shaky, get more creative angles and on your follow cams keep it steady. Basically all I'm saying is get more creative make your video different and interesting. 4/10 overall :(

i liked it. only thing would be using a different song. ive heard this one quite a bit in edits. and the shots werent that bad. they werent so shaky that they took away from the skiing.

Pretty good edit. I'd give that maybe 7.5/10. Th first shot is great and is already on the chair so you don't need to show getting on maybe just off. Try different angles that allow you to see the whole trick, landing and all, and you should get closer to the jump/rail to make it look better. Also give an introduction that gives the skiers, etc. Everything else is great.

Sick editing, skiing and filming! Loved the edit with the darker tones in the edges of the film! Good Work! 10/10

I really liked how the edit goes together with the music, but I agree that a more creative intro would be better. And I liked some of the shots that was far away a lot, but you had a bit to many. Keep experimenting with different angles, and show us your next project.

i think you had the right idea trying out some different shots like the ones from up the hill and to the side as seen at 00:16 but you only did it twice.   not that you should do it 10 times but a couple more would make it seem more pro.    i liked the song as well,   wasnt too hardcore and fit the scenes well. 
Maybe try shooting at a different time of day (sunnier) b/c im sure better lighting would make all the shots looks way better.
overall good tho  (Y),   nice going!

At the end of the shots, try to keep the camera steady if you know what I mean. A slow pan downwards can be nice, just keep it clean and don't get lazy at the end of the shots. Otherwise, great edit.

first off, lololololol at the little kid fallling at 1:24 :p

far as the video, id say maybe slow down some of the switch ups or rails a little more, they were really technically clean so show it off. also, id remove the audio from the clips, its just wind noise and metal sliding. otherwise i enjoyed it :D

first of all, okemo's park is sick imho I was too chicken to hit that huuge battleship thing on the big jump line when I last went. But as for the edit, I liked it and the song is tight. The two things I would do would be to:

1. Make stuff a little slower- maybe it's just me but I really dig super slowmo ski shots not only because they look dope but also because you can really breakdown the tricks, especially on rails.

2. Work on the transitions a little bit, especially that kinda awkward black frame (which I'm assuming you stuck there to wait for the beat to drop haha). It's not horrible, but maybe a smoother thing like the "sunburn" effect (GASP, I know it's super trendy but it looks cool nonetheless) would work nicely there.

But all in all, I'm a big fan. Rep VT Big, my dudes.

Cheers,
Hiro

I actually really like this edit, the cinematography was great at the beginning. keep up the angles and film with an open mind, always look for special and insane angles.

I liked it for only having a couple skiiers. i must say, i was really diggin a lot of your shots and angles. Keep it up dude.

Ps. What kind of camera you using? it looks sick.

your a good skier but your edit could use improvement.  the filming was a little shaky and you could use some different shots like if the filmer skier next to you or something.
