First off I know it's not great skiing and I know I am a total beginner with filming and editing so feel free to rip into me hard.

Any advice is appreciated.

It got really boring really fast, you can only watch so many front 2s and blind 2s. Maybe if it was cut down to a minute i'd be more entertaining.

Loving the song choice ∆, maybe work on the timing a bit, it can really help the flow of the edit if you have cuts and landings line up with the song.

basically the way you should think about it, is to make it as short as you can while still getting every different good trick in its entirety into the edit.

if you ever go on to make short films or documentary style films its a great thing to remember too. keep your videos as short as you can while still keeping the important bits in. (important bits vary depending on intended audience. you're the one that will learn to judge that)

Just my personal preference but I am not a big fan of a full black and white, I would of faded back to color around 50 seconds where you had the natural wildlife shots, you could still have the shot of the birds but just in color. I think you know what im talking about.

Hi Guys !

I'd like to show you the edit I made this winter using a GoPro HD Hero and many mounts :

Closer shots, all your shots seem really far away.
Also maybe reconsider black and white. I don't see the point in it in less there is a lot of good contrast.
