Alright so I just through this together super quick just to get an idea of what people thought of the GoPro shots. Just looking for suggestions on the angle i have the cam at, should it be pointed up or down more? Stuff like that. Appreciate any constructive criticism, Thanks +K!

Yeah I have seen those in a few edits, they do look sick. Also I really want to get some follow cams going, is having it on your head the easiest way to follow cam?

the original song would have been ill, also don't do an entire clip in slow mo, just certain parts, i don't want to watch you going at a jump for 14 seconds

Yeah i was thinking about that slowmo ting after watching it, but the edit was thrown together extremely quick just to get an idea what people liked/ didnt like about it. Appreciate your input, keep it coming!

There's a link to my second video with my go pro ( any advice would be appreciated as well) .  The quality between sunny and cloudy days is quite noticeable which kinda sucks. I like your mount position ! I like the others in the thread sometimes have a hard time watch POV, but yours was pretty natural.  Just go film on a sunny day !

If you do what you did there, but on a sunny day it will look extremely sick!

Pretty much everything has been said.
-Pole mounts looking at yourself
-Filming on sunny days
-Follow
-Only slow-mo the part where you are actually jumping, not the whole run-in!
