NMBS (norba!) MTB Series from Santa Ynez

Went down today for Pro practice there were about 10 male pros there!
Bad turnout at least today. Anyway these are all with the 70-200 on the 1D
1

Would like to see one and four as landscape shots, as the tree does not add value to the pictures. The second shot having the guy standing in the background takes all the action/urgency out of the picture.
Focus good on all of them some dust flying which adds to the impression of speed, fill flash on the second?

I shot most of them vertical. But did some cropping. That 2nd one the lens was almost at 200 so no way the 580 on top of camera could help alot but that was shot 3 in a series of 6 the flash sucks at recycling so it cant hang with the 1D at all... I need wizards for off camera stuff and Quantum batteries might help recycle times.
