Take off the actual sound from the footage unless you want it if you do then i would lower it a little.

because when they're landing on those metal shits it sounds like a rocketship is taking off.

As someone said take down the volume from some of the skate clips. And make sure to have a decent ending, at least fade down the music and the clip.

Take a look at this video hopeully it'll give you some good tips on filming with your fisheye. A lot of the shots were shaky so try to be a little more careful and not shake it so much... Also every clip was shot with your fisheye lense. So it was quite boring, try to mix up your video, even quick ones like this with both longlense and fish/wide shots. I would take the skating audio down quite a bit and would definetly take out the slowmo of that kid screaming when he fell. And make sure all your shots are properly exposed, like one shot would be under exposed and the next one would be over exposed.

Hope this helps!
PM for any questions...

The scream was a joke. (change that tape) And its kind of hard to get the exposure perfect whenever the sun is setting.

Thought so like I couldn't tell if this was just a joking edit or serious edit. But ya I get what you mean with the exposure issue.
