heres some tips and comments about it man:

i personally didn't think it was all that bad. that rail game was amazing at heavenly keep that up.

some shots of people going into jumps should definatley be cut down more. you dont need to show them for so long comming in to hit it. maybe work on your camera angles as well. other than that, pretty good.

to make videos appear you have to copy the video embed code from the youtube or vimeo video, then to post it you click the "f" where all the options are, like bold, italicized, inderline, etc. and you copy the video embed code into that, and voila the video will appear. any more questions you can give me a pm.

dope edit dude, keep it up!

not a bad edit at all, on the jumps try to get a better angle though you couldnt really see the landings, also shorten it up a bit.
I laughed at the part with the cops a nd overall the edit was pretty sick!

I liked it.  I didn't mind the length because the different riders mixed it up enough.

that was sick, but you could cut it in half, just take out all the run ups and static shots of boxes/rails, because that got a little bit repetitive, and deffinatly slowed the flow. And if you want to use 2 songs, you can cut them short, but dont try to go the whole song by puting in extra clips. +K tho for sick skiing

you said that was your first? sik bro! 7/10= +++

here's some tips.


watch how much in run your getting (i know peeps have been droppin already but it is significant). go buy yourself a tripod this off season. not only will your shots be steadier but you can get shots that have a perspective from lower down which equals BA and you can slow down those scenic shots and not have them look crappy. What are you using to edit with? do you have aftereffects? if so using that to spice up your intros and suh would be sik. i loved the opening credits and stills, if you do them right stills look awesome and you are defs on the right track. try to get farther out on the knuckle for filming your jump line shots. (that's one of the reasons why they build the table so wide bro) this will help not only get a better perspective but you can also get some landing footage (some i kinda guessed didn't get landed). the easiest way to figure this out is ALWAYS be out in front of the jump the closer to the knuckle the better. when your doing follow shots try to be closer, you should be able to point the camera sideways and slightly forward when he hits the lip. don't do a follow over a jump unless you are really steady and even then hold it in your crotch area for the best stability. also good music selection.

all in all a fairly stellar edit for your first and you have some major potential.

peace bro
