the filming on the water ramps is shaky. Kinda try and keep as steady as possible.
Song was decent. You matched it pretty well.
The edit was really good overall!

1. You clearly have a tripod as soon by one of the opening shots. Using it when filming the ramping would make the edit just so much better.

2. A tad bit of CC would have been nice, Some colors were blah.

3. A couple shots did not really need to get used. You had a ton of those front flips in that edit.

4. The ending was sorta a letdown. Instead of finishing up the editing and going to some sort of conclusion, it just faded(way to fast) to black at the start of the song's chorus. It was nice to use that banger flip shot, but I think you can do it in a way that does not leave the viewers hanging.

yeah i always use a tripod but i didnt film all the shots.
and i know absolutely nothing about color correction haha i need to learn.

and i know there were a lot of frontflips but i had to find some way to include everyone that went on the trip haha and so that means a lot of frontflips
