Two things that stood out to me. During the cliff jumping segment the people talking was kinda of distracting and annoying. The 1 day in the park title bouncing around looked kinda of amateur and didn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the edit. But overall a really solid edit, nice job!

And I swear I've heard that song in a ski film or edit, did you get it from one?

Edit was very well done. I like the the song, and it definitely seems like I have heard it used in something before. I don't think it was a ski movie though.

The Mason Quarry title looked good, but as was said above, I thought the other titles looked amateur, especially compared to the rest of the edit. Also I wouldn't have used that sort of b/w collage effect for the whole skating part. Just using it for the first couple shots of that segment would have been a bit more subtle. Other than that all of the effects and transitions were nicely done, subtle, and fit with the feel of the edit. Oh and nice butts.

Great work dude, nice shots and editing. That being said, the opening of the skate footage was kinda disorienting for me. Idk, maybe Im just slow, but it kinda threw me off for a minute. And sweet tracker haha
