its ok, filming was bad, 3s were a little repetetive, dont include shots where you didnt make it to the end of the rail (it was long as it is), and use video section for videos not the forums for discussion. decent beginner vid tho

^ i agree. The 360es were kind of repetitive.

For a gopro you can't be more than 10 feet away from the rider, that will solve about 50% of your problem right there. Another hint for o pros is only film when the lighting is good, and if the lighting is not good get even closer to the skier.

Also only include the best of a certain trick off of a certain feature, so if your hitting rails and you get a straight slide and an fs 270 only put the fs 270 in the edit. Hit different features, get different angles, and only include the best of each trick type.

If your bag isn't very deep then hit a lot of different features and get a lot of different angles and only include a falling shot if you get the trick later or its a brutal fall.

Keep up the hard work and you can really make some cool stuff man good luck!

I would say try to trim it down, by not including the entire run in and only picking a few select runs. For example, when you have 5 clips of a 3 thrown in the same style and jump it gets repetitive.

So many 3's!! but really with i little more work and follow the tips about distance between you and the skier they will look a whole lot better. keep up the good work.

Never film on the girlfriend line. Either hit the big jumps or find smaller ones without a nice big step down next to them that make them look....small. That said, your three's are actually on point considering your overall skill level. Props!

not too bad, but you might want to take out the sound from your camera, gopros don't offer the best of sound.......just a ton of clicking usually

Agree totally with what everyone has said. The good news is you're at the point where you can really start to progress if you go for it. Try some bigger spins, switch spins etc. Since you're so confident with 3's. Keep skiing alot of rails, you'll get more comfortable with time and try to keep those hands down. Just have fun and try new stuff, pretty cool though

one more thing film in 60fps if you are going to slow it down!!! idk if it was an issue with your uploading or what but your slowmo was REALLY shoppy.

agreed. my pet peeve is 30fps footage slowed down because it always looks terrible. 720p 60fps is the way to go.

It was okay...your camera man was a little shaky...maybe just trim it and pick the shots YOU really like so it's not so repetitive

nice job but i agree that you should mix it up on the 3s and maby learn to spin both ways. try to balance out the last bit of those rails to.

I'm about the same level as you skiing wise (maybe better with jibs and not as confident on 3s), but my two cents:

Definitely stay closer with the camera, try to find more laid-back music. Personally, I only like electric stuff when the edits themselves are as "big" as the music, if you get my drift,

Apart from that, keep goin at it.

Comme l'autre te dit, c'est pas mal. Mais je pense qu'il n'es pas tres creative. Tu peut faire les autre ruses y peut etre essayer differents angles de camera.
