it was pretty good over all, i wasn't a fan of the song, and as far as the skiing goes i would definatley suggest trying to keep yourself together more, pretend that your elbows are screwed into your hips and they cannot move as long as you are on the box but they can pivot. then just slow down,

its not intense it's fun and to make it look fun is how you make it look steezy. you look like you're fighting so hard to stay on the box just slow down, and have fun. and good luck with future edits
 
try and cool your arms down they are all over the place let the song and skiing flow together the song just didn't fit the skiing idk have fun keep practicing thats all i got
 
VERY good tricks man, watch the arm flialing though. And next edit pick a song that hasnt been used in alot of edits, overall a great edit.
 

Well you guys looks like your having a good time, but really work on your style especially the guy in the blue and red just relax and keep those arms down. The filming was awful no offense, stand further away when your standing next to the rail so you don't cut heads and feet, also change up the shot and think of something more creative, make it interesting! The editing, well the song is just so overused and there a lot of really well done edits with this song so it makes your video look a lot worse. So change up the song to your own and just think of creative effects to use and you will have a good edit. Also keep the hands steady and invest in a tripod will make your shots 10x better. Have fun, keep filming and editing and making great videos!
 
Sleepyhead - Passion Pit. In my opinion, that was a bad song for this video. You should also cut the footage TO the song.
 
Really not bad at all for your first edit, I can tell you've watched a lot of edits and have pretty good flow and continuity. Things to work on: get a tripod, or steadier self pans like someone said earlier you can turn you outside ski downhill and pivot at the waist while keeping arms locked and that will help. Also an HD cam would be better, but i know they are not cheap, especially if your on a budget, but filming during the day would help as well. i feel the simpler you make it with good angles and smoothness throughout while your just getting the basics down the better. hope any of this is helpful.
 
Good Skiing. Good Song. The one thing Id say for your next edit is to maybe experiment with some new camera angles (in example, maybe trying a follow cam). Other than that good edit.
