Those magnificent kids on their flying machines

Saw a few kids playing at the BMX track this weekend - they loved playing for the camera (all straight from the camera, D90 with 18-200vr lens):

They must be so perfect, no one has anything to say about these shots

I'm liking #3 a lot, with the orange hat. Were you using flash?

Thanks amadeus

Nope, no flash.

I think #1 and #2 could have benefited from some fill flash. Not crazy about the cropping either. Maybe try a portrait crop?

SS too high. A little wheel blur would help.

Smart - I didn't think of using the flash at the time. Will remember that for next time. As for cropping, these are straight out of the camera. I'll have a play with cropping them

Their bodies and clothing were moving so much, I found with lower SS it was hard to keep them sharp. Any suggestions?
