First sports thread

Hi, i'm new to this site. i just posted some landscape pictures over on another part of the site, but my main passion is sports photography. So I thought i'd come here and post some of my latest skiing shots. I'd like to hear any comments or suggestions anyone has.
For all of these shots i used a Canon 1D MK2 with a 28-200 2.8 EF lense. most of the time on TV around 500

yeah, i was laying down for most of my shots trying to show air but the board was always between me and the face, so i got up for this one and it worked.

A mountain's not a mountain if it has trees on the top of it. that's our rule
