That last one looks like it's about to crash through the monitor :D

nice shots, something I always tried to do was to get a good exposure of their faces and hand signals, because I always felt that they can get a bit dark at times, its hard to do when you only can shoot at certain angles when the sun lights them up..
I like the first the most

This may seem picky, but the framing kills it for me: Top and bottom are visibly different sizes, which just kinda makes the photo look slapped in. For doing something like this I'd probably use a clean black 10px boarder right the way around the shot.

Cool shot though :D
