Just finished my season edit, and first ever edit for that and as a huge novice, I'd rather like some crit before I send it out!

No need to hold back, I know that I'll have made heaps of mistakes/oversights.

Cheers y'all

Only thing I would say would to be crank up the volume a little bit, only for ease of viewer. Other than that, I liked it

by send it out do you mean send it to try to get sponsorships? if so there's a few things i'd do, first your intro is too long, almost 30 seconds before the skiing gets going. second try to keep repeat tricks to a minimum. there's nothing wrong with an edit that's short and sweet, personally i'd take out a few of the sketchier landings as well. as for the couple shots you had that are very far away from the jump, maybe pair them with follows or close shots of you doing the same trick.

Cheers, I just mean post it up, not looking for sponsorship really.

I'll get having another go at it. Cheers!

The camera angles and overall filming of this is what made this edit really cool. Whoever filmed this is REALLY good at choosing angles. All that needs to be cleaned up is the skiing(it wasn't bad, just a little sloppy at times), and then this edit would be amazing. It is crazy good for being your first edit too. How long did it take you to make it?

Probably about 48 hours of work time.

I'm a bit gutted about the skiing, we got so little filming done this season, trying to get my friends to film a run was such a chore and I skied a lot better but I made do.
