It looks like you've got the flashes going okay (although the rider has a flash shadow from his arm in the second photo on his face) but in the second photo especially you've got too much going on. It is nice to see the path that the rider will take, but there's so much else to draw the eye that I find myself forgetting that there is a rider there. Personally I prefer to shoot jumps with a wide angle right up close, with the rider near the top of the frame and as much clear air beneath as you can get, to make the jump look as big as possible. Crouching down as low as you can get just to the side of the lander usually works well, but it will all depend on the situation and the tricks the rider is doing.

Good shots, did you use off camera lighting? If so where were they set up at?
