standard thing really, some of the shots were quite shakey so try and maybe smoothen those out( not sure how with a gopro) and secondly try and keep the colours similar throughout, like there were points where it felt quite chopped up becuase the colours changed alot so just correct that maybe....

Auto-play isn't an issue with the edits, it's just how you embedded them. It's the reason they start playing right when you open the thread, causing the viewer to pause one to watch the other. No big deal really, just a little bit annoying.

It's a new thing with vimeo, you have to check it off somewhere, forgot where. But back to your edits, The skiing was good enough that I was entertained watching it, My major suggestion would be to work on your colors. Also it was a little shaky but nothing too bad, I would work on trying to smooth that out. But overall they are very nice edits. Also I know its been said but try not to have much backyard sessions in edits, They are kinda of boring to watch.

Some parts flowed with music, but most parts could have been flowed better, super good riding, but i think if you would have used different music, more fun, less gangster hip hop stuff, it would have flowed better, the riding isnt super gangster, even if it is reallll sick. but loved the footage, a little shaky, but that can be dealt with, with a counter weight on a pole mount, or a steady cam, but overall, fun to watch.

like you said, repeated shots, and keeping the skier in the frame the whole time. it looks like youre using a gopro so maybe its not your fault though

Sick skiing.
maybe invest in a tripod or a x-grip. they are cheap and can help you with your “unsteady” problem.

nice work though!

PROS:
Sick skiing
Nice flow
Good vibe

CONS:
Pretty much what everyone else said, camera shake.

I'd give it like an 8-9 out of 10.

Experiment with different mounts (try a camera shop if available) and see what you like best. I, personally, don't really like the X-Grip, but some people do, and if you put a little money into it you can get a really decent stabilizing rig.

I wont repeat what everyone else said and just add that you should try to get a bigger variety of tricks rather than having so many cork 7s and rodeos. Otherwise i really liked it
