you're getting your lighting down pretty well, work on your timing though. Shots look decent but skater's style and the timing ruins it. the 2nd one is the best by far because there is style to the ollie and u caught it at a good time. the rest, not so much sorry. thats half the skaters fault for not having good steez...tell them they need to be lookin better if they want nice photos.

Really nice stuff.

I like the third one that's posted here, but the 4th is cool too since it shows him and his board as silhouettes. It'd be nice to see them larger too, since they're a bit on the small side (425p)

What kind of lighting did you use?

They weren't being too cooperative with me today. My friend, David, was doing back 180's all day and just giving me his ass.

I think the shot are good but the backgrounds are little too cluttered.....pic 1 there is an electrical box growing out of his head....pic 2 I would have actually liked to have the electrical boxes but the skater framed against the wall......I bet there was a cleaner shot just to your left.....if not open up and get closer.....good shots overall though I'd say.

Great shots there, the sunset is very good and is my pick of the bunch.
