I really want to attempt to start a good discussion about the merits of each edit, but its ns and I should know better but I am going to try
Personally, America is #1 as of now. Part of it is personal preference for high-energy hip-hop edits, but I feel as though their variety is "top notch" compared to others right now. They used each member of the team pretty equally, along with their various jib features and "official" features.
But all that aside there are two things that put them on top. First of the editing is way beyond that of Europe and Down Under. They have all these little shots here and there that logically progress the edit foward (shot of heli, then at backcountry). These shots are both artistic and def. took a long time to put in despite their short durations. Secondly, they're tricks are def. the cleanest,hands down. They stomp all their landings.
Down under's is very good but to the caliber of America's. They relied too much on russ, which of course is noones fault but you can't win with a edit that showcases mostly one skiier. I thought their intro was very artistic and personally, it contains the best shots thus far in the competiton. (I'm sorry but northern lights are dope). They're opening jib was very unique, but didn't really lend itself to impressive tricks, except for the last shot of Jossi. On the other hand, I didn't like that wooden fence jib, not too exciting in my book but props for trying creativity.
Europe's best shots are the heli propane tank thing and the pallets. Pallets were uber creative, but everyone saying that OMG THEY WE'RE so creative with their jibs, look again. With the exception of the propane tank, which wasn't really that impressive, they hit all rails. Nothing so different about their jib section.
