first one is sick as hell... bigger?

the second and on from there are really boring. try changing up the angle and getting some DOF going so that it isnt as boring... also use rule of thirds for the second
 
I actually really like the third one; moreso than the first. I'm in no position to give a serious critique because I don't know much about photography, but I like the framing between the small tree and the bush. It accents the funky mountain which sticks up in the background.
 
im really diggin the first one dude. i love the shadows of the clouds on the hills, nice stuff for sure. but like someone else said, use the rule of thirds for the skate shot, it will make it a lot more appealing
 
i really like the 3rd and the 4th one, the clouds and the contrast look so sick. the second one IMO isn't anything special, the 1st one has potential, but i really like the 3rd and 4th ones.
 
for the rollerblading ones, try to make it so that the picture is interesting without the person in it. it should be able to be a photo (although, without a person it may be a little bland) without the guy in it. when you put the person in the frame, it will be that much more interesting.
i like the first one of the second set you posted, as well as the third because you can see the silhouette of the house in the third.
 
Colors were good in the 3 & 4 shot in the OG post, but what purpose do the shots serve? Whats the meaning/story/importance behind them? What makes them more than just a mom with a camera on the side of a hill? (also applies to shot #1)

Second shot in the OG post - butt shot, not usually appreciated. Lighting is flat, and the stairs/overhang are distracting. Get a few flashes & ebay poppers to help the rider stand out.

Fire shot - underexposed, framing bothers me.. cut the tree shadow out, or do more with it. Dont just leave it in the corner.

Rollerblade shot - Again need better framing, we lose the shot with the most action in it as hes too mixed in with the building. Also kind of lose him on the landing shot. Too much room on the left, looks like an awkward start to the sequence.

Fireworks shot - Probably your best in this thread, wish there was a little bit more of the ambient light (street light?) Also wish that the furthest left light streak (all white) wasn't there, but nothing you could of done to prevent it, photo shopping it out would be unethical. Also your watermark is too big/prominent. On this shot it was the second thing I saw. Creates a nice triangle out of your points of interest ( Firework > watermark > street light) but that's not what you want out of a watermark.

Flame me. Do it.
 
First one..

why the hell does the second one look so blurry in the thread, but clicked on looks clear?
