Alright guys thanks for the feedback.. I just made A whole slow motion video to test out the camera and its capabilities.... the camera is a casio.. I'm not exactly sure on the model number but its at the top of the video.. it was around 220
 
i am pretty impressed with the image quality for a camera that cheap, and the motion looks very fluid and professional. the edit is a bit dull tho, and you have to use this slo mo effect sparingly and only for the right shots. big tricks, styley and/or visually appealing shots (like something with a sunset, snowing, epic gap etc) this will put a big exclamation point on the shot if the content is worthy. overall you should keep your edits moving, so people dont have time to think. basically edit like everyone watching it will have A.D.D.

if you guys like this you should check out the gopro hero hd camera. it has a 720p60 function that when slowed down looks like this. and it is helmet mountable with a waterproof shockproof housing.

i got mine on sale for $200 and i absolutely love it.

I am a video editor professionally and have been doing it since '97.

mainly doing moto now, but got my start in inline skating before it took a huge shit and died.

check out a few of my edits let me know what you think

the camera quality is actually really good... that is shot in 210 fps and it can shoot up to 1000 with resolution decrease but for a camera that small i think its pretty good
 
I personally think any kind of skiing slower than about 50% is too slow, skiing is an action sport and i like seeing how fast some things are and the true motion and look of what i am watching. Now, slow motion stuff can look really sick and somewhat professional but remember, raw action and motion is nice too.
 
you asked for critique so heres what i thought:

1) dont do slow-mo for the entire edit save that for the bangers and it makes them look even better.

2) dont put every trick that you land in, find the good tricks and only post like one clip, or edit two tricks from different angles. Its fine to put easyier tricks in but dont put multiple shots in of the same trick.

3) Different song, i know everyone has different preferences but that song didnt really fit your style or the style of the edit.

After saying that it wasnt a bad edit good camera but just those few things would make it better.
