video is kinda stretched... they all looked like midgets lol

but other than that i dont really have any specific comments. to be honest i wasnt excited watching this. the editing was random and mediocre, the song was mediocre. not terribly creative compared to what i have seen out of ns. angles were different and varied but still not exciting...

I dont think I was clear enough in my coment under the video.
The goal is not to get criticism about the video, but about Girls on skis in General.
This edit was made by Jackie herself.
It is just to show our latest addition to our team.

just because you are all girls editing your own stuff doesn't give you a pass on a shitty product. sounds harsh but if you want people to watch you need to have a better production quality as well as skiing abilities. i guess what i'm saying is that you have to work hard to create something that everyone wants to watch which is equal rights at its finest. don't stop though because everyone is shitty when they first start.

Thank you , thats the kind of comment Im looking for.
You will be happy to watch our first edit coming out in January , I think we improved that a lot.
I came to the decision to ask for help from other filmers since Gabriele's filming is not on point yet. Thank you

This is true.


As much as you want to document the skiing abilities. You have to be able to present yourself and appeal to the audience. Anyone can kill it and been known for it in person, but people else where won't because it isn't presented in the right way. Hopefully that's clear enough.

I know little about editing, but is it supposed to lag and be choppy? I watched it twice through and it was the same both times.

Congrats though on the recent results!

I find this embarrassing. This has nothing to do with the riders specifically- I think Jackie has great potential- but I don't think this project is the "cure" to make girls skiing on the level that men's skiing is. Sure, exposure is good.....but this isn't good exposure.

You used a song that was used in Traveling Circus.
The filming was crap.
Too many shots of you guys falling.
The vignette was way too intense.
The video is stretched.

If you want the same respect as the boys, you will get the same criticism as the boys.

over and over you set yourself up for failure.

i can't believe you made a thread asking NS what you should do with your fake company.

My only suggestion would be to stop posting.

Everything you just said there was wrong... It's not fake, not really a company, just a whole lot of girls who are trying to get exposure. You should be the one to stop posting.

http://www.girlsonskis.com
check out the site, I did. It's set up pretty well. The homepage video (girls on skis)that you have there is a whole lot better than the one posted in this thread. The other three videos are good, not so much the "Colorado" video though, since it's a whole lot of straight airs and riding straight on a box. Don't want to sound like a dick, but my 11 sister can ski straight on a box. I think it's a great idea what you guys are doing. Keep it up.

as for everyone else, check out the site, it seems like more is going to be added, but it's better than judging the whole idea based on one girls edit.

The website is pretty easy to use and navigate but you should allow for comments to be posted under the videos

The site looks like its set up pretty well, just video qualities could definately improve.
Look forward to seeing everything as it progresses. :)

This is not the way to gain credibility or respect in the ski community; it's just further separating yourselves having this "Girls on Skis" bullshit movement. How do you not see that?

straight up.

if you really wanted to gain respect and not constantly get bashed every time you post... just stop posting. Post entertaining videos of your crew skiing (not your big house), thats it. Don't hype your shit, don't offer updates on events because chances are someone will cover it better than you.

and if you want to keep your riders you gotta stop dragging girlsonskis' name through the mud . Right now im pretty sure 88% of people think your crew is a joke and the other 12% never heard of you.

I read all the comments before watching the video and all I have to say is you guys are a bunch of dicks. I was expecting to watch gaper show episode 1 and that video wasn't that at all. I bet 50% of you GUYS talking shit couldn't even do most of the tricks she was doing.

The technical aspects of the filming were a little off but that is something that you learn with time. I doubt the first videos anybody made were perfect.

Maybe I am missing something but how did everyone jump on this is the "cure" of women's skiing and they are trying to be equal with guys? Girls skiing isn't the same as guys, just as EVERY single other sport doesn't compete girls against guys. No wonder more girls aren't involved in skiing when you tear them apart like this.

Fuck the haters, keep making videos and keep on improving. Also, don't look to NS for "constructive criticism" as 90% of the people who post, especially in NSG, are insecure 14 year olds.

You dont like girls on skis? FINE. Dont watch it. Its so fucking simple.

I know Im glad it exists. I would have never known any of these girl shredders.

And to people bitching about editing, please feel free to attach the formula for instant success for beginners.

okay i gotta say something.  my friend just alerted me to this thread, i only read a few comments and i have a few things to say.

1. I made this edit for Jackie because she has been begging me for months to just edit some footage for her and being a good friend I decided I would.
2. I did not film any of this footage of her, her other friends did using a not so good camera.
3. I did not purposely copy this song (I was unaware that Traveling Circus used this song if I had known I would have gladly used a different one, I don't travel around NS looking at every edit to see if I am copying anyone). I am never here on NS because all you people take skiing way to seriously and can't just have fun.
4.  THIS WAS NOT A SERIOUS EDIT, we used a not so good camera, imovie and limited shots and literally threw something together in 20 mins.  Not all of us have loaded parents who can drop crazy money on their kids( ie. 95% of the NS community) on crazy camera equipment and editing software for their mac book pros.
5. This was not supposed to end up on NS, hence why I did not put it on NS. 

all of u need to stop taking this sport so seriously, its ski season go have some fun and stop bitching,

Just trying to get the word out that girls can rip as hard as us males do. Yeah, The edits maybe a bit bad but theres no need to hate. Guarantee that there are girls out there that can throw down than some kids who make these lamer then hell women jokes.

One way to get recognition is to post things like this in the SKI-gabber. When you post things like this in the NON-SKI gabber people may think it is not skiing....or the mods have quite the sense of ironic humor.
