i rated pretty dang bad but thats because you just started pivot, theirs no way you can be really good when you just start it takes months to get really good like it does with any animating program(examples: flash, easytoon, tisfat, endorphin, etc.)

I voted for "Not too bad...", I'm actually one who sees everything positive, anyway. Wink

Try not to use movement with the same spacing over and over again.
I have a simple formula on how to make easing almost perfectly for almost each situation:

For rather slow movements:
Multiply 1 with 2, then 2 with 2, etc.

For medium fast movements:
Multiply 1 with 3, etc.

For heavy spacing \ gravity:
Multiply 1 with 4, etc.

Where the number to be multiplied is always one pixel.
Also, always set up a maximum speed!

Also, stiffness is just a little bit here... try working on it a bit more.
Also, to make it look even smoother try onion-skin trailing (move a bone forward but make the outer bones point to their last location).

And don't try to make unrealistic movements \ impossible movements, they're weird >.<

[Off topic]
Also, there should be definitely a rule for posting constructive criticism!

Based on what I've seen so far I say high beginner. Not inter by almost. My favorite is probably the combo thing. 8 on the combo Razz
