In some of those initial downhill shots you look barely in control, if not completely out of control. Locking up the rear and dragging the wheel is not riding within your skill level.
You do however look quite comfortable on jumps, that big step down got stomped.

You can jump better than you can ride for sure

Intermediate because you don’t use the front brake.

Jumps seem good.
Steeps you seem stiff as a board and only just in control with your arms outstretched and your arse out the back

“Dude this is scary” is spot on. The first few lines were terrifying and I think you would do better to focus on core skills and not skidding your tire for effect but for a kid you seem to be doing really well. Keep shredding and you will continue to improve.

Stop asking for praise and put music behind your riding

I’m a 10/10 rider and since you didn’t case anything like I always do you’re at least 11/10.
And +1 for full face
12/10

7/10 for going for lines that visibly intimidate you.
3/10 for actual skill.
Stop sliding and skipping your rear wheel around. If you had a clean line, that is really only needed in tight switch backs on race day.
Use your front brake to cut speed before a turn, then ease off through the difficult spot.
Your lines have you straight lining point to point through what should be a curve. It’s like a new driver that thinks they have to aim straight for the next lane in a left turn instead of driving deep into the curve in a smooth arc.
You’re kind of like a typical snow boarder, bombing down things with little control lacking the skill to make it look good. And obviously no experience in what it means to take a big injury, so you don’t know what you should approach with more respect. (And no gloves?! So many reasons why that is wrong) Taking the time to learn the skills before trying to chuck it down big stuff will make you a better rider, and reduce your chances of major injury.
Relax, move your body, actually lean the bike, look far ahead to pick good lines.
And for fuck sake, if you aren’t out there with a shovel and rake fixing stuff, stop dragging your tires and trashing the trails.

I don’t think a lot of the people realize how steep some of that stuff is.. but I do agree with most that you look terrified on it.

Like a 4/5 maybe
