The first one with the slower shutter speed is the pick for me. He looks a bit old for skateboarding though :)

Those are rather good!

soo what have we got here .... several, greasy, spotty, youth types. Who've doubtless just switched their burbury chav basball caps and hoodies for something more trendy to pull a few... whats the term... "hot moves" on pre-fabricated concrete slopey things.

Photographs arnt bad tho.

... wish I was still young and hadn'd broken bones on planks with wheels on whilst I still was...

Am really liking the sense of movement you've achieved in the first shot.

I like #1 and note the battle scars on the elbows :ouch:

He looks familiar. Is he a pro?

I take photos of mountain bikers and have been experimenting with off camera flash. I have been using an ST-E2 but just bought some of the Honk Kong wireless units (don't rush to buy, story to tell there - I will post a review some time).

For some great techniques look up the strobist group on flickr and the strobist himself's blog (http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/).
