I watched the first one and it was good! started the 2nd and got bored. The problem is that evry guy with a camera out there does extreme sports videos so it gets a lil boring after a while. If you can make you edits really shit hot - then it'll become more interesting.

With sports stuff, it is really good to get some alternate views, and GET INTO THE ACTION. Plant yourself right next to the track and get up close and personal with the riders.

Consider a helmet cam and have a rider carry it into action - One on the jumper would be killer!

All in all, I agree that extreme sports can get boring on film, but adding POV cams, and some killer angles will help.

Nice job for starters!

You've made extensive use of transitions, which I think you should most certainlt reconsider. They add little or nothing to your video.

I think you should also consider the interaction between your editing and the music you've chosen. Ulitimately the chosen video should enhance and add to the video rather than be slapped on (much like the use of transitions, if any).

As the other have said, get in to the action when filming. It'll make editing that much easier...

IM buying the Samsung SC-X205L next week and the 100a will be on the way soon. Then i can get into the action a little bit more with the helmet cam and a better camera....the sony handycam isnt the greatest....or even close for that matter....thx for the constructive critisizm..

I don't like that sport, whatever you called it. lol

Your camera was shaking quite a few times. But i like the fire transitition
