sick edit!

unrelated, but if you posted it autoplaying (i'm pretty sure you did, or maybe i just clicked on it and forgot), you might want to pm a mod pretty quick cuz that can be a pretty big ban now.

No that's your GoPro's color scheme that does that.  Nice skating

Some of those shots were nice and smooth, but when you stopped moving it was kinda shaky which usually happens if your on a board I guess. But the smooth shots were nice, and the intro shot was cool too.

What song by the way? I'm trying to type some of them into google but it's not getting me very far for whatever reason.

Sorry if you didnt figure out autoplay yet, all i read was that you didnt know how to embed first. dammit, but hopefully it'll be all good.

but hopefully nobody would ever get banned for accidentally embedding their video with autoplay in a thread about their video

and OP, you asked for positive feedback...so does that mean you only want us to say good things about it?

or did you mean more like constructive criticism?

Good edit, angles varied alot which is good. Few pointers:

Try color correcting, shots looked raw and boring. Color correcting can really make (or break) the quality of an edit.

Some of the shots seemed shaky. Never a bad idea to invest in some sort of camera stabilizer.

Always remember to export you videos in HD. Once again, it can make or break the quality of an edit. There's probably a million videos out there on the internet on how to export in whatever editing program you're using. So take an extra minute and make sure your video is exported in HD.
