Some advice:

1. Use a tripod

2. Use fewer(like almost none) of those annoying editing tricks and transitions. I know its tempting to go nuts but it REALLY distracts from the riding with is why we're watching it in the first place.

Otherwise, nice job!

Nice vid! I love the DR.

It has a really big and open feel to it as compared to a lot of islands in the Caribbean. Nice and cool in the hills too. The little packs of hungry/homeless kids around town were pretty tragic though.

I spent some time in the DR in the early 80's. When we first got there we stayed in some big gated complex that was kinda of spendy but unfinished. We decided to stay at a hotel downtown that cost a whopping $3/night. That was an entertaining experience.

25 years ago you could buy ocean front property in Puerto Plata for about $1K/acre. I'm still kicking myself.

yeah about that tripod....would have taken it/did take it the first time going to the airport. thing is i got sent home from the airport, my air wagon was to heavy. so that night trying to repack things in 2 different bags i left it behind by mistake. the next video will not have as many transitions, i just had to dress it up a bit, i could only use so much footage cause i wanted to kite instead of filming. glad you guys enjoyed it though. stay tuned for the next vid.

i thought that video was real good.
kind of inspires me to consider a trip to DR.
good mix of music, random footage, all flowing with action.
this video kept my attention from start to finish.
two thumbs up from stringy.
I wouldn't change your style for no one.
If you're happy with it, who cares if you use transitions, tripods, etc...
thanks for continuing the stoke. keep it going.
