Good job. Good overall edit. I am on mobile and im in public without headphones so I didnt watch it with music so I will critique soley on the shots. Ok so 1st off. Skiing is sick. So keep filming those guys haha. 2nd id say try and practice more with the stabilizer ypu are using which im guessing is a flycam? 3rd if ever possible try and keep your shadow out of the shot. Ik its difficult but it takes the focus from the skier. Also id say on some of the earlier shots (again I didnt watch it with sound so maybe the song needed it) idk if slomo is really needed as often as you used it. Also dont be afraid to change it up with the angle maybe ski faster than him and then cut across the front of the rail panning with him. Thats always cool. Ok so ya. Solid job. Peace man

Stabilize shots as best as you can. Cut out more of the inrun to the jumps and the landings of some shots. A few shots went on forever

filming could have certainly been better (it seemed like that glidecam wasn't even being used) but I know that is completely out of your control.

Edit-wise, you had a crazy amount of unnecessary footage before and after some shots. Also, film in a higher frame rate if you want to use slowmo. It looks very amateur when slowmo is choppy. Be sure that you don't "preserve the pitch" of the audio when it's being slowmo'd either; it just never sounds good.

With all that said, I liked it! Just needs touched up.

stabilization could have been better but overall pretty solid edit.
