I've got a few edits I would like critiqued. You can critique one or all. I will give everybody +k if I haven't already rated you. I'll put them in order from newest to oldest.

I really like these edits, and for the most part they are really sweet.

I think the the first edit it would be better if the shots of the Mountains in the beginning would transition on beat with the music. I think that would give the edit a nice feeling at the beginning, but it's really not that big a deal. Other than that I didn't see anything that seemed too bad.

In the second edit you have some shots where the skier leaves the frame in mid trick or rail, and even though that't not an editing problem it was just something I noticed about the filming. And I felt like some of the fillers between scenes were a little long, but that's not a big deal. I like the music you chose for all of the edits too by the way.

I really like the third one, "State of Mind." I love the way you transition between scenes with music and fillers, it really makes it seem like a real ski movie instead of a simple edit. I just like the way this one was put together.

Because you asked for critique I looked for it. Other than that I wouldn't really have noticed many of the things I saw that could be better. The skiing is awesome, and so are the edits. Keep it up!

These edits are really well made- Nice steady filming, good pacing (with the music). great picture and color quality. I have to say there's really only one thing that bugged me a lot..

I feel as if some of the shots were too wide. Don't be afraid to frame up a little closer. some out of focus extreme close-ups also give for interesting b-roll, something I think your videos would do well with.
