photographically: the idea is sick, but i think some better lighting is in order, and i wouldnt have the subject that close to the center of the frame, but it is still a sick shot, regardless.

trick-wise: looks jammin', i would just work on really getting a solid grab.

very nice

A stronger flash would have made this awesome. It seems like there are some cool elements in the background that would look sweet, had they been illuminated.

I would also recommend playing around with some post editing, you could maybe compensate a little bit of the lack of flash.

Yeah the flash thing is an issue, I was just using the one built into my camera. I'm planning on getting some externals to do some strobe.... hehehe

pretty much what has already been said: better lighting, maybe illuminate the jump but keep the background black.

looks sick regardless

BTW this isn't me haha.... I suck but I like taking pictures. Its a rodeo 5 japan though. But what I tried to do in the pic is make the jump look legit cause it's really only like... maybe a 10 foot gap haha

Because you did this, it sucks. There is no point of reference, you need a point of reference.

Well if I hadn't, the point of reference would be the ground about a foot and a half below his head, which would suck more IMO
