Feeble grind, nose over the hip, and pegs to tooth thing stand out as cuts. The first is a great stunt, but the angle might be better from the front/longer lens/zoom the entire time to highlight the pop from the manual in. This could be a personal preference thing on my part… the swinging was a good idea but I’m not sure it captures it as good as it can. And who knows, I might be wrong and would totally admit it after seeing what the other angle offers, but sometimes you just have to run it back just to be sure it’s “THE” angle.
I am 100% sure about:
the nose over the hip isn’t a standalone clip. In a line it’s great but in isolation it’s not doing the work it needs.
The pegs/tooth thing might be better if you do a stall and really hang that mofo out for a second before popping back in, maybe to fakie? And ideally after something else coming before it of a similar low/tech style. Otherwise it’s a beginner trick done without authority in a sequence with a bunch of other clips that show expertise of flow and style. It juts.
Other than that, the only thing I’d say is that the lookback could use a followup on that quarter. It always leaves me wondering what could have been when a clip cuts as a rider is travelling up another quarter again. You’re just leaving potential out there, you know? (I do this, too, and I always hate seeing it when editing later and thinking “what if I had just….”).
But great job on a lot of these! The cuts to different angles are tasteful. The ordering feels right, too. Love that hip into the tire slap/jar thing, hitting those perpendicular quarters like that is always sick. If you’re into the cuts, that might be a good spot to get an angle from on top of the deck, where the wheel comes smashing down to the coping. It’s hard to get lines in big bowl setups on camera, especially when you’re (what appears to be) self-filming.

Keep them all
Man you’re fast! Keep them all!
Looks like a great session.
