so i just finished an edit for the year, it doesn't have a of footage cause my camera was stolen, and then i was out for 11 weeks with a broken collar bone, but i put it together anyways. any critique would be great, ++ karma for sure. and if anyone has sponsorship tips that'd be great. i have some good competition results to go with this, but never know how to go about sponsorships. thanks a bunch NS.

nice lines, decent style w/ jumps, try to mix it up a little more, and find someone with a steady hand to film it.
 
+:Great tricks, smooth style

Good diversity in filming areas

great powder lines

-:some footage was shaky and blurry (because of fog)

close up powder shots were poor, you looked out of control

Avoid age and were you live on a promotion. Leave that on the resume

Avoid showing crashes, and especially injuries

Show more "fun", you have the skills, but are you sociable and able to step out and show of the sponsored material.

Otherwise, I love it
 
yea that was good i was really impressed. you had some real nice lines and drops in there. id throw in more rails and urbans because i know you can do them well. you got dem rodeos and dem mutes down perfect. also i liked your lincolns off those drops. the filming was a little shaky but didnt make that much of a difference. overall good work
 
IMHO i would you say BC is your thing, if you wanted to diversify a bit more i would say include more rails urban box stuff, cause hey you may have the talent but i didnt see to much of it. BC though you kill it, keep shredding those lines, i can tell you love the pow drops. Anyways that a simple critique , sucks about your camera, i'm sure it would have had a bit less shakyness to it, but well done man, you have some skills.
 
that was really good, i think for sponsership you might want more rails but i personally really liked your BC stuff and i think you should focus on taking some more off your park tricks to the backcountry GOOOD JOB!!!
 
thanks a bunch for all the help guys
i fixed it up, ill have the updated version up within the hour
and next year im gonna spend my time doin some urban, and mostly BC
thanks again

Camera quality wasn't brilliant, sucks about your collar bone and camera though

apart from that, the skiing was awsome, you've got a great bag of tricks. Very well done
 
I liked it a lot. Camera work was decent- overall i would say sweet- as far as skiing goes u r very good
 
bc shit was tight...i didn't get a chance to look at the final one just the first rough one...but i noticed you spelled nevertheless wrong (NEVERTHLESS is how you did it) not trying to be your english teacher but should be as professional as possible if sending to sponsors

but definately more rails besides that you killed it man!

hook it up with that karma now brutha :)
 
haha thanks for the nevertheless tip, didn't notice that
fixed it up a little in the final
and im workin on some rails

karma up!

as for ^ im not exactly sure which cliff your talking about, if its the one into water thats bakers bridge in durango CO, everything else is BC around Durango.
 
Liked how you switched from Park to Backcountry throughout the whole edit, kept me interested. The only thing i noticed that could be improved were the visibility on some of the night shots, and shaky camera. Everything else was pretty dope.
 
nooo, i broke it just fuckin around doin butters actually
i didn't really realize that thats what the video kinda implies, but i changed it in the new one
no one wants to see an injury
