ok, please don't think that i'm bashing on you. i'm going to try to help you by telling you all of the things you need to work on.
first, there were WAY too many film burns and slow-mos. those things you should be used for effect in certain parts of the video, but not every trick. the song has been used before i'm pretty sure.
don't ever put a clip in a video that you didn't land. everybody can tell you didn't land the double whip down the 5 stair, the 270 whip on that hip, or the double whip out of the slant. if you put your foot down, it doesn't count.
there were a few night clips where i didn't know what was happening because i couldn't see the obstacles. get a light, film during the day, or something otherwise the clip is just a waste of time because we can't see anything anyway. there were also a few really close up shots that i didn't know what was happening.
flyout clips are a huge no-no. especially in a sponsor video. flyout is good to learn but don't film it, please.
driveway clips aren't going to impress somebody who is looking to sponsor riders. they want to see street or park.
when you were self-filming, often times your head would get cut off, or you would land your trick and roll out of the frame. you want to make sure you can see your approach, landing, and (if you're doing a 180 trick) you fakie out. one time you did a 180 whip but i have no clue if you landed it or not because i couldn't see you fakie out.
last but definitely not least, you did an indian giver. never do these. towards the beginning when you did the downside whip to fakie, you did a bs halfcab which blew the trick for me.

sorry if i seemed a bit hard on you, it's just i see potential and these are some tips to help you live up to that. please take it and don't get offended, because you DO have potential. especially with those rails, keep it up. keep riding and progressing and i can't wait to see future videos.

You are a good rider, but i don't think sponsor worthy yet. Try to vary up your tricks instead of just tailwhips and grinds. also do things out of or into grinds. Also try to learn more park oriented tricks like 540's, briflips, and scooterflips. Other than that great video, i enjoyed it.:cool:

thnx for the tips man I did land the double whip on the five star i just took my foot off right after because i was unbalenced. I do agree with you on the film burns i did use to much. I also agree with the self filming tip the 180 whip got cut off and also i dont think i did any fly out the unless u are talking about the kicker. anyways thnx for the tips

Okkk,way too many film burns is what I noticed first thing, then I noticed driveway clips, which for an actual 'sponsor' me edit shouldn't be filmed, then I noticed that you didn't land the double whip down the stair properly, or up that bank or the 270 whip. Like not trying to be harsh, just pointing out what my first thoughts were. And if I were a brand owner and saw this sponsor me video, I'd like to see clips that were landed and/or of a higher standard.
Positives: You have potential, at handrails, I really liked the board to 180 out but would try and get a bit better before trying to get a sponsor, ride for fun.
edit ; I also agree with everything Riley said, take all those tips on board and you should have a decent edit :)
