This was pretty cool.

Some rad lines in this vid and the filming was pretty good.

Nice job man

You are improving fast, faster than I've seen someone improve in a while. Just keep working on the basics:

-filming
Stay close. Try putting the board in the corners of the shot. Keep the camera steady on lines (make it as if the camera is barely moving). I suggest using 13mm.

-panbacks
You have huge panbacks (for example 0:34) Put markers at the end of the clip.

-trick choice and spot choice.
Your skating is just about good already. You had some sick lines. Make those spots unique.

Those basics would apply to realistic skating (which I assume is your style). There are in-between styles with much more complex filming techniques. You'll eventually carve out your true style, and film it to perfection. Nice concept to the video.

Thank you

I was wondering what a "panback" is and now I know! :)

Yeah, I don't even like the panbacks....that just happens (when I don't try too hard to film good)

I always thought the board had to be in the center in the shot...(from you, now I see that it doesn't)

Its not that the board can't be in the center. Its nice to have the board in the center on lines. Grinds look good in corner shots.

Here watch this. Its hard to teach filming. Watching and observing is better. I'm saying you should copy off of these guys, just take inspiration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFzhWPL6Wr8
