Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the kind comments.

Gabriel I use Sony Vegas to edit with although I wouldn't say it would be a requirement to accomplish this style of cutting. I feel fortunate in that I "see" music when I hear it. That really helps in how you layout the cuts.
I will listen to a section of the song and see what pops into my head visually and then try and match what I have shot to fit that section.
Once I go brain dead using that method, I start reviewing what I've shot and see what section of the song pops into my head while I'm watching that clip.
This method seems to work best for me and leads me to the rough cut. Once you have the rough cut it becomes more about visual timing and matching downbeats.

I am a big fan of the extreme sports film genre mostly human powered films (climbing, mountain biking, kayaking) but this is exactly the type of film I love to watch. Fast, fun editing, and kickin music (where did you get the music by the way?) Do you know the band?

Good clean (dirty) fun, excellent cinematography and the most action packed film of the bunch.

Thanks for the film,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I got the music from Shockwave. Not cheap, but to get a license on this type of music is tough to find. The artists name is Dimitris Plagiannis and the song is called Ownage.
I think in the future I will hunt down a band or two and secure the rights straight from the source.
