There were some real sick shots! heres some constructive criticism:

the alarm clock shots were long a boring. a short slider shot would have been nice.
film burn makes an edit look real amateur, use it very sparingly.
Many of the shots need color correction.
Keep practicing with your glidecam, stabilization wasn't great.
Work on composition, try and have a reason and set up for every shot. Dont just randomly turn on your camera when u see ur friend is about to hit a jump (or changing the song on his ipod).
slow-mos were kinda choppy, research conforming footage to lower fps to get smooth slomo.

i think im missing something, but cant remember. not trying to bring ya down, just giving u some tips for things to work on. nice job though and keep filming!

I wouldn't lean towards the short ski film aspect because all you did was replicate Evan Heath's style in a worse way. I think the idea was alright but the intro was not needed and the film burn threw me over the edge. Use it well, not just randomly for like 8 seconds.
