You got some pretty good shots goin there, just try to work on your timing and keeping the lurkers out of the photos.

thanks i actually like the lurkers in the first one though because they're all watching him make the jump.

Nice ones Daniel

I agree with you about the first one. The onlookers add to the shot Now if you could just rip down that darn fence Oh well. Not much you could have done about that

Very nice set!!

That first one works really well. The guy's nicely framed by the others, and he's into an intense moment. Looks good! More bokeh would be a good thing, if your glass will allow it.

i was at f/4 ISO 100 and 1/4000th and it was still over-exposed so i couldn't get it just then... maybe more around duskish would be better...

Personally I like shooting ollies a bit later, like after the initial pop and the rider begins to bring the board down to level it out. Your last one is my favorite, but I think it could use a looser compostion. They all seem pretty sharp. Good job. I'd love to see more skate stuff.
