just so you don't feel bad about the lack of replies I'm gonna let you know that folks 'round here don't always take too kindly to park-rats or those born after 1985. Otherwise good camera and editing work

That's because you're a bunch of cock gobbling zionists.

Have you submitted this to BroBomb yet?

Also, this isn't really a skiing website but rather a forum for political asshattery amongst white, middle class males. The skiing is just used as an excuse to exclude those who don't fit the demographic. It would be a polyasshat golf website if not for Tiger Woods.

at least he has poles?

That shit's tight brah!

Good editing for sure and I really like the music choice. Looks like you guys had a ton of fun which I'm sure isn't hard to do at CoC.

I do have some minor critiques (and you were going to get them here without saying you wanted them anyway).
- Your use of crossfades is obnoxious. Transitions should be used in certain circumstances for feel or to tell a story. Crossfading between each summer day shred session shot is not a good use, specially with the song you chose and does nothing for the edit. Nix most of them.
- Time remapping is fun and all, but almost every shot? just let some play in real time, some play in slow mo and some time remapped. But every clip to time remap to something that isn't exactly banger almost made me turn it off.
- Enough with the film burn. Everyone uses it, it's not unique, we know this isn't film, just stop. It's beyond amateur and 100% played.
- Would have liked to have a little more story. It was 4 weeks, you told us that but having one of the athletes say it and get the vibe going would have been nice. Something stupid about the park as a whole, the feature set, blah blah blah. Would have taken 20 seconds most, you could have used mostly broll to cover it and would have added a lot more. Remember, we don't just jam clips together, we are storytellers. You told us the story in your post, not in the video. You should have a video that just can live on it's own without any other context to set it up.
- Thank you for using consistent graphics package throughout.

Great job as usual, Mike! ^ wow, those critiques are so far over my head haha.

Thanks man! this is what i wanted haha

- first off, hindsight is 20/20. i hate the cross disolves looking back on it. i've been told more than once that this was a big bothersome.
- i did manipulate the time a lot, and i feel like this is what gives my work some distinguish-ness. although, yes it was used in 90% of the shots, i did think it was over used a bit.
-I really like the idea of a story. that hadn't crossed my mind at all. really want to try something with that

siickktor

this gets my ski brain PLUMPED! sick edit Mike!
