Can't do anything to critique it but I can say I really enjoyed it! All aspects were well done!

I felt like some of your pans (especially the first two) were waaay to slow, like the biker was flying from right to left and by the time he hits the edge, hes going out of frame. That can work in some situations, but I feel like a pan where the biker stays in the same spot of the frame for the entire shot would look 100 times better, imo. Overall, some shots i felt like you were trying to keep or adjusting quickly to movements and it wasn't as smooth as it could have been. Filming a biker riding down a trail at high speeds is definitely not the easiest shot, but i feel like knowing you as a filmer, you could have done better. Also, some nice cuts shots of close up tires on dirt/rock (either slow or fast) and or petals, face, etc would've been a nice addition too.

I'll take a closer look at it later...
What really stood out to me was your titles. They looked really loud and obnoxious which clashed with the high level of quality that describes the rest of your video.

all the shots looked the same. nothing super far away, nothing really close up. just a bunch of medium length shots that were either static, pan, or tilt. Some close ups that followed the action that aren't on a single axis would have been a nice touch. also the title for his name stuck out like a sore thumb. as Akrieg said (i think), it clashed hard. I know you already addressed that fact but I thought I'd through out my opinion.
