Action sports is my favorite thing to film because of the collaboration required between the athlete and filmer. Both have to be on point for something to come out well, which makes it even more satisfying when it all comes together. Hope you guys like it!
 
first thing, audio. those pops were very distracting. make sure you convert your audio files to AAC before you import them into your project into FCP or whatever you are using. Length, I think it is a bit long. I loved a lot of those detail shots in the first 1/3, they made me really excited for the big reveal of a full shot, but it took so long to get there that I kinda lost interest if that makes sense. I would just tighten it up a bit, you want to leave the viewer saying 'wow' and be like...I want to see the full projects that this footage came from.

Nice work though. A lot of really, really good shots.
 
I loved the abstract, out of the norm shots you had of the skater and the shot at 1:06, refreshing to see just the details and not the whole picture for once. The random timelapses like the car ride and beach felt kind of out of place though.
