I like the surrounding and colours but you could make the rider stand out more if you use OCF for fill.
Colours would look really vivid after the rain

Really nice setting and good angles, but I agree - with a touch of OCF you could really make the pictures pop.

thanks, I had my slave strobe with me, tried it and it wouldnt fire. cheap gear what can I say.. this shoot at this location went way better then the last. I may try the strobe again for sundays shooting, but I think I just need a 12 ft cord for my flash.

Hand shake does not count as panning :D

Normally when I shoot MTB DH I like to underexpose the bg a lot but when environment is this pretty, bright and colourfull I would use flash only for fill.
When panning with slow(ish) shutter speed (under 1/100) you can still use flash to freeze the object. It makes bg look really fuzzy but the rider is sharp and pops from image. With WA lens you can also try on camera flash.
There are cheap wireless triggers that works fine. Way more convenient to use than sync cord :D
