Good job. There were a few things though:

1. Cut shots didn't feel right

2. Sometimes, especially on the B Roll, it didn't flow well (for example you cut an entire body at the beginning.)

Honestly, half the edit was REALLY good and half was just eh, maybe its because you edited in a rush. IDK but good job

Word, thanks bro. There were a few rough spots I know that were produced because a few files became corrupt and had to be removed, and in order to get it out on time I didn't have a chance to get it all fixed so they just got removed.

Think you should be more ahead of the riders because there where a lot of butt shots and if you have multiple riders do it in segments separated the guy in white from the others good with b roll which i find better than just a name on the screen but before that I can't tell if it is one rider with a bunch of outfits or multiple riders

I would say 2 things
Framing- with your shots sometimes your subject was out of the frame, and it stands out a lot
Ending- The ending was a little bit interesting, I could see you trying to go for a a movie type ending which doesn't really fit that well for the 3 minute edit you put together.

Also with the names, I don't feel it is necessary at all to put them in the edit, you can just have it in the description.

This is also what really stood out to me. Otherwise, I thought it was put together well.

Oh, and watch warping with Twixtor (at least that's what I think happened). :48 seemed kinda weird

Id say cut the ending credits. And take out some unnecessary shots, for example the skier on the swings.. i liked the edit though
