Critiques for an edit, sunlight at liberty

Whenever I edit, I usually just throw the shots together and don't try too hard. This time, I decided to put a little more work in, but I still wanted it to seem simplified and not overworked or drawn out at all. I'm really looking for some critiques on technical aspects of it, IE color correction, flow, anything you would like to nitpick. I know a big thing is that I need to clean the damn lens in between runs, but a lot of the time its other people filming.

Thanks in advance. I got an HV40 and death lens earlier in the season and I think I'm starting to use its potential.

Cool little edit, decent filming (not too shaky) and some good skiing. Like how theres snowboarders in it too. Maybe try playing with transitions a bit

I liked that a lot. I'm assuming you were going for kind of a skate edit flow/vibe since you're using a death lens, and you nailed it. quick cuts, random lifestyle stuff, nothing too artsy, it all worked together really well. i also loved the way you did the titles.

one thing i would watch is your contrast. you darks were way too dark, even the trees looked black.

also, great song choice. i've used that song in an edit myself.

dunno what to tell you.

colour correct.

make sure you get the rider in the shot.

make fisheye interesting, not just straight up GTS

less lead in to tricks
