Thanks very much for all you're comments whether they be critical or just very nice. i will try and incorporate some of these ideas into my short films, but like i said earlier everyone has there own style. The riding is not always the best, but some of us have only been riding a few years or in my case just 1, this means that there might not be massive hucking jumps or backflip 360s but my aim of the shorts is to capture whats fun about mountain biking etc. also i am constantly improving my camera and editing techniques so there are always ways that i can improve on them :-).GaVgAs the program i am using at the moment it imovie HD 09' on an 09' macbook laptop, this is alright for the moment, but when i go to uni to study film i will be using Final Cut Pro, what i can suggest for you is to try and get it right while filming and then the editing becomes easier, also always have a bit more footage than you need, as it is easier to cut down clips rather than have to make up time by dragging some on where its not needed :-). in terms of processing, you can get away with most reasonbly descent home computers within reason for shorter films, but for the longer films then yes processing power is a must :-). Hope that helps, and comment away, id love to hear more from viewer.
