The composition and angle are ok, except for the tower in the background.. sometimes with busy backgrounds you have to either get closer with a wider lens, or farther away with a long one.. it all depends on the scene and how much time you have I guess. I probably would have shot it from the other side of the bowl with a longer lens, which by the looks of the lighting means you'd have to use flash (most skate/bmx photos are shot using flash, partly since the right angle is more important than the right light, and flashes are more portable than the sun)

Nice catch on the action, but the background is too busy and the focus on his face is soft.

Very good, but the powerlines in the background are very distracting.

I like the reality of the background. Great photo!

The background is a big distraction on this one. Looks really 'busy'. Good action though. Did you saturate colors at all? The red shirt and blue sky look a little over-saturated.

I think this could be a good shot, but the background is way too distracting.

Nice action but unfortunate background (busy and distracting).

great capture! i think there might be too much saturation in the reds.

Nice one! good timing. If the background was a little bit more out of focus it might enphasize the subject more though.
