What makes a Skate video great?

[i am a snail]

good trick selection is more important to me than over-the-top, flashy edits, but you've gotta be able to film your tricks in a way they actually look pleasing to the eye. the thing that's different about our community as opposed to thps is that more emphasis is placed on the tricks we do looking as smooth and as realistic as possible, usually through manipulating the game's animations to our advantage, which can make some supposedly easy tricks still take more than a few tries to get dialed to get it "perfect." this usually leads to differing opinions on how something should look at what spot and/or what tricks should be done there, which is great since it gets multiple people hitting spots in cool and unusual ways that people might not have thought of. everyone has something new to bring to the table.

Yeaah in my last video, it took me foreverrr to film the spots, and even though the tricks arent that difficult, I find skating slow and tryna get it to look realistic takes alot more effort than just charging at an object full blast.

one thing you have to remember is that you aren't going to please everybody,everyone here looks at this game in a different way.it's become rather cliche but the most important thing is to have fun,cause if you're not then what's the point?
there will always be haters or the random idiot that wants to use your video thread for their online comedy act,that's just the nature of the beast called the internet.after a while you'll be able to notice the difference between good constructive criticism and random retardedness,just have to forget about the latter.
anyways,watch the vids guys post,soak it in,and keep working at it.good luck.

Originality is the key for me.
I find edits to be boring unless the creator has
gone trying something mindless, out of the box.

Style.

Your style; the way your present your trick. That's what does it for me.

Trick selection

It helps if you have southcity in your name or film real life with a vx1000

Flix reminds me more and more of a guy that will haunt a house with props to get the gold buried underneath until a green van with a dog and a hippy "meddle" with the plan
Sorry if that doesn't make sense overseas

i mix of both filming and tricks. if youve got a good style and tricks, you tend to know how to film them to give it the best look. alot of the best dudes in this game dont film completely realistic, but they do film in ways that best show off their skating. also fancys
