What I noticed is that a lot of shots were pretty shaky. Otherwise pretty solid.

Skiing was great and overall flow of the edit was on point. Stability was definitely something that you could work on to improve the next edit. I;m finally starting to get my follow cams smoother myself. Another thing I noticed is you mixed in a couple of gopro shots which I definitely didn't like. The color of the overall edit seemed rather flat. I know you were filming on a gray do so this could be an issue. (not a great with the color stuff myself someone else can give you a little more critique in that sector). If you are going to include the last shot with all the namesm which isn't completely necessary if you want to just put them in the vid description, use a different font I just didn't really like the look of it. Once again overall flow was good which to me is the most important thing in the edit now just to smooth it out. Great job!

Nothing to say about skiing.
But on the whole, it seems like you don't even care wether your shot is framed or not, look at 43sec...
Shaking brings a chaotic sense to the image when skiing is all about fluidity (the skier is actually fluid and clean so the shaking actually breaks all the beauty of the dynamic in skiing). The edit is straight forward although I don't like the music.
But please, good skiing deserves good shooting!

I agree, it was really shaky (one time you even missed the skier in the air completely), but the overall feel was good. Didn't really like the music but the skiing was sick. And some more color correction and grading would be nice also

Thanks for the input. It was hard to find the right amount of good shots with the illest tricks. The color correction is definitely something i need to get better at. Gopro shots werent even mine ha. For the record, my tripod broke and so i was basically working with a bipod. Thanks for givin me somethin to work at.
