Wide angle lenses are fun, but remember in all things moderation. In this situation your lens view is much greater then your flash can reach. I like the first one becuase it shows the person in action and you can clearly see his face, while in other the main focus in on their butt, crotch, or elsewhere. Try working with different lenses, and experiment with different lens angles to get different looks to your images.
Overall, I'd say you did pretty good with what you had to work with
Keep shooting and try to anticipate where the best angle will be to capture the action and the skaters expression.
