replace 'grass routes' with 'unskilled'?

Edit: actually, I'll make a constructive criticism. If you're going to use graffiti, slow the text down enough that people who aren't as "street" as you have time to translate it from idiot into english.

And ditch the soundtrack.

Yeah, I quite liked it. But, I don't really have anything else to do, so it killed some time.

The opening was lame, and put me in a negative mood for the rest of the video.
Well, I barely saw any riding for the first 3 minutes, so closed it down.
A short bike video HAS to be constant, constant riding.
To keep their attention, it has to be constant action, of different varieties. You can't show the same run over and over again, but you can show the same run with different camera angles and clips.
And above all, it has to be well edited.

For me I thought it required a few more drops and jumps. Otherwise, i didn't think it was too bad.

Do what you fear, you won't regret it.

You are only as brave as your skill level.

Opening graf font and soundtrack makes it seem 'chav'.

I watched the first minute and got bored.

Unless it has to be a specific length, then i would make it a lot shorter, as it's a bit long/monotonous
