The first thing that caught my eye was that it looked like the skateboard tracks went ahead of the front wheel a little but I realize it's just a dip in the ground. It's looking awesome Kurt.

More work on him today with still a lot of things to tweak and fix. Lights need a bit more work as a well as color correction but on its way...

Next up will be the tree and some depth of field. then back into playing with the lights and shadows more, also might add a few nik naks to the back of his board.
