On the nike jump shots you boosted clarity and saturation too high. It's evident with that halo that is formed around the edges of the jump being darker than the actual sky.

That awkward moment when you use too much PP...

You should post some original photos so we can see the difference.

i liked the framing in some of your shots. I liked the Cork 9 SR Private Park picture.

I did not like the vignette or the terrible watermark

i still dont like the processing, but that's not the biggest issue IMO

Your compositions are not very good. The main things i see that can be changed are context and peak action/faces.
In some of the rail shots you get a good feel of the context, but in the jump shots I want to see more of the story of the jump; how big is it? where is the rider coming from? where is he going?
The angles/comps don't lend to capturing the riders face. As a compositional "rule" (I use that loosely, because of course all photography "rules" are meant to be broken) you always want to try and capture the subjects face. It will connect the viewer to the image, the action, and create a stronger image.

You're going to "loose" the watermark and "loose" the vignette. I think you mean "lose."
