I didn't watch it with video, a. cause im in class b. cause i can focus on cuts and filming.
So...editing seemed pretty good, not sure what was with the flashes at the beginning, maybe I'll watch it with sound and see if that makes a difference. I'm sure you noticed some of your shots were shaky, and i know that's often hard to avoid. But it wasn't half bad. Try and get the skier to fill more of the frame, watch how far away you are, especially when you're doing a follow (like on a rail) you want to be right next to them so the audience feels engaged. Set up your shots before hand, so you don't get that shake just as a rider is going up to the rail.
All in all, way better than a go pro edit. Hope that helped

Couldnt agree more, kind of looked like you were stalking a pro around and didnt want them to notice you filming so you stayed back. also those flashes in the beginning were kind of annoying, the it doesnt flow with the song or anything.

however, your still a lot better at me than filming. Im just saying this stuff based on what i see done differently in other edits.

Thanks for feedback,I absolutely agree with you, Im actually very far away from the riders, but the thing is that if im going to any closer i will have problems with the framing, but hopefully i'll get better at next season!

Pretty good,

A couple things to fix would be framing was off in some shots and the old film effect was definitely overused to the point where it took focus away from the edit and don't use the promo thing at the beginning unless there paying you it is boring to watch that stuff. the last thing is a couple of shots where pretty shaky but other than that it was solid edit

Overall i really liked it. Like everyone said the filming was a little shaky but i didn't think it was that bad at all. I liked a lot of the jump shots too. Keep it up
