Some of those urban clips are fire!
To be honest I fw this but it doesn't feel like a reel, more like a short-form edit.
Reels are quick, snappy, and marketable - effective reels are designed to grab the viewer's attention and hold it just long enough to hit like or share before they scroll on to the next one. That and they're filmed vertically to fill more of the viewer's phone screen.
The video you've made is a lot more authentic and introspective. With all the skiing, snowboarding, biking, music, surfing, etc. It views more like a character piece on you and your friends. Many reel viewers will scroll on as soon as an activity they don't participate in comes up and miss out on the big picture you're trying to convey.
If your goal was to make a dope video and share it with your friends I think you're there already! (Maybe just drop the title card). But if your goal is to make marketable reels and grow your following you'll need to keep things a lot snappier and more upbeat, at least in my highly unprofessional opinion.

I would title it "action reel" or sports reel or something. Find a different song thats a lot faster, and make your edit quicker. most employers would click out after the surf shots. Looks good though otherwise!
