I actually thought it was really good. Different from other ski edits is what I liked.

couple things that I noticed

- It kind of seemed like the edit peaked after that backy (which was fucking nuts by the way!) everything after that was mostly just straight airs or little shifties.

You show yourself building up the jump, i'd put the backflip shot right after this setup shot (just my opinion)

besides that I liked it. Pretty sketchy setup but looked fun and it was creative!

my buddies got those epic planks!

but that was pretty sick for the setup you had

didn't really like the wind in the beginning

and also wasn't much of a fan of the fake tilt shift

otherwise pretty good. you're up in houghton right? i definitely want to make a trip up there soon with some buddies

It had a good vibe to it but there were two main things that i found. The first was that every one of your skiing shots was just a still tripod shot it would make it better if you threw some pans or tilts in. My second thing is that on your shot at :57 with the kid sitting on the bench there is no leading room so he is kind of just staring off of the frame and there is all of this empty space behind him. That shot would be a lot better if he was sitting on the left side of the frame and looking off to the right or vice versa.
