Like the light in number 2

How does it work with a slightly closer crop?

#1 is good.

with #2(and having never done skating much and never skate photography I'm not the best judge) I'd want to lose those houses and the strip in the background, + he's a bit overexposed at the edge.

#3... I realise you skaters love using the fisheye in every single angle even when it doesn't apply, so just tone it back a bit, his heads completely distorted and the fisheye is only bringing out that brick. Also shutter is too long, either make it faster or use a brighter flash, you don't want him to be invisible as he is.

Rich.

Your work is constantly improving dude!

Simplicity of the black and white is spot on
Composition in shot 2 is great
lighting / shutter speed in shot 3 is stunning. a nice dramatic shot
