-Stick's movements seem awkward and a little strange for example the random jumps he does at certain points
-some of the trails look good some don't, make sure if you're going to do long sweeps like at the end you create and oval and make it the colour gradient "radial", then turning the inside colour's alpha to 0, position the gradient with the gradient transform tool to look how you want it to.
