I enjoyed it, the first kid looked a little too much like Henrik Harlaut.

Were you using a tripod? Watching your framing too, you were way too close on some shots.

-Use a tripod more to make your shots smoother, especially with a tight lens like that.
-Do more with your colors. You're shooting on a T2i so you can really do a lot of things to make your shots look really great.
-Don't zoom digitally with your editing program. It just never turns out well.
-Little too close on some shots.
-Don't use fast forward on filler clips like you did at 00:54. If it's not a time lapse, it just kinda messes with the flow.
-Use the same font throughout the edit.


Hopefully that helps! Solid edit for sure though

i did use a tripod, but i put the legs around my body and out the strap around my neck, wanted to see how that would work, and its easier

i didnt want to zoom on the program, but the kid wanted people to be able to see the ninthward so i had to

yah i was a lil close on some, was my first weekend with the new lens

thanks everyone, and that kid wants to be Henrik dude, he has basically everything the Henrik has haha

+k to all

this is just personal preference, but when using titles like you did for the rider's name try keeping one font instead of changing styles each time, uniform font that is sick looks crisp and more pro
