Great reel.

Couple of things I noticed that could help you improve your reel.

The bmx dolly shots were really good and some made for a great composition and very nice shot. They got a little repetitive.

Secondly the first shots that had skiing around 1:50 the skier and trees had very little contrast so it was very difficult to the the skier. To me these shots didn't stand up to the rest of your work and I wouldn't consider them "demo reel shots".

But great job. Other then those two things I loved it. Timing and pacing was on point and the song seemed like a nice choice for your work.

nice.

My only criticism is that the dolly shots looked like they were aimed too low. The bikers were cut off from the waist up, and you had lots of empty space underneath. I realize the bikers filled this space during the ride away, but I think the composition should be based on where the person is during the trick, not the ride away.

I really enjoyed that. Finally a video on here that doesn't get destroyed by corny rap/dubstep/mashups/techno.

Dolly shots got very repetitive in the BMX section BUT atleast they were solid, no shake, no stop/start, dolly shots. I cannot stand kids slapping there cameras on a dolly thinking that the shot looks "kewl" even though the movement is shakey.

Good work.

Great work! Loved the pace and song choice. As said already, the sliding shots (especially in the BMX section) got a little repetitive. It would be nice to see a shot without movement somewhere in the middle of that section to break it up a little bit.

Also, the lighting on the first snow shots is very in-the-shaddows and doesn't match up to the sunny shots of the rest of the reel. As stated above, it doesn't seem like "demo reel material" and I personally would get rid of it or try to work some CC magic if possible to match it up to the other shots.

Other than those two points, great job overall!
