The feet should probably touch the ground and the physics needs some work. I'd have made the tremor more defined too, rather than just a shaky floor. The left guy's movements weren't bad though.

Thanks for the advice; I've always been bad at the physics side of animating. It was pretty rushed, made it in about 20 minutes. I will read up and look at other animations to better my physics and repost a new animation once I am done.

Thanks again for the advice and Good criticism. :)

Sir, that is not a loop.

And in the future do make sure you upload your animations correctly, either using imageshack.us, tinypic.com or imageflock.com - these are simple and effective methods of uploading your animations.

Now onto the animation itself. Like a stated before it is not a loop because it doesn't seem continuously looped and doesn't really flow along. I suggest looking through some tutorial on the basics of easing, smoothing and flow - your movements need to be smoother because right now they're really blocky and it looks pretty bad.
So, check out some tutorials and you'll be improving in now time. Continue posting in this thread and I will continue to give you feedback.

If you're using the image tags, you have to leave the '/' in the second code.

There were some shaky bits that need looking at. Mostly on the arms. The physics were off in that he hovered in the air too long. Generally it needs more easing everywhere, It wasn't too bad for a beginner though, and it wasn't as stiff as many skateboarding anims are.

Wow jetty, that was actually really good! I suggest you work on the physics a little, and make it a bit less stiff. besides that the camera effects are also very nice but could use some work aswell.

The walk needs a smoother motion so that the steps flow together. Wasn't bad though.
