The editing was alright, the filming was alright, but the riding ruined the video.  Tell your friend to learn something other than 1's and 3s.  Please.  It was painful to watch the same trick 30 times.

I like the editing but your shots could have been tighter.
each shot was too far away for my liking .
also it's true your rider is not reat. when he learns to slide rail and whip and such, your edits will improve.

Editing was pretty good, filming was okay, and the rider definitely needs a bigger bag of tricks

very good for a first edit. you can always improve but overall nice job

i would mix it up with some tighter and lower angles, throw in a little slow mo but dont overuse it

Very annoying song. Pretty decent editing for your first time...needs to be cleaned up a little and like others said make the clips shorter.

Good start.

Did you mean to make it a cinema like aspect ratio or was that an accident?
