Hey NS-
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind watching this/commenting on this video. its from this last season, shot 100% in MI..
No, didn't get what i wanted out of the shots, but yes, I made an edit out of it a while ago.
I don't have the original, so i can't post it anywhere but here, thru Vimeo.
Thank you to all!

I liked it, I thought it had a good vibe.

That being said, i thought that there were too many fades, and unecessary transitions that made the video move a little bit slowly for me. Also, I really don't like seeing that much pipe in edits, but if you like it and are having fun, thats all that counts.

overall it was a solid edit, pretty good skiing (better than me anyway), and it looked like you had a great time.

Most certainly agreed, except I go up any day I can, regardless of if there is 4 ft. of fresh, or a sunny park day.  I just look forward to those deep days more than those sunny park days.  Mother Nature has built the biggest, best park in the world, I love it.

arent you the kid who couldnt take criticism last time you posted your edit?
 you posted a thread with your edit and 2 others and you and your friends couldnt take peoples constructive criticism, and you all tried to rip on everyone who was giving you suggestions.

That was a sick edit man. I really liked that you got a lot of pipe shots in, and I liked how you made it a little more original, and slow moving. Like other people said, just work on the rails. But the pipe and jump skiing was prime.
