The exposure in this photo look pretty darn good, but I've got a few things for you. First never butt shot unless there's absolutely no other angle, second try spending a little more time looking for a more interesting angle, and last with flip trick the timing of rhe photo needs to be just before the catch. I mean like feet practically on kind of before the catch. This was taken at the flick.
Keep those things in mind and you could make some great stuff

Action is well captured and frozen in the moment! great exposure, no motion blur! so pretty awesome.

But would agree with the other comment.

Butt-shots, not always a bad thing, but usually there are slightly more interesting angles.

Main thing I'm noticing is the vertical lines (of the square stones) are leaning to the right. Slight warp to straighten those.

And I find the crop.. well.. it's nice, good use of the rule of thirds. I just don't like that the statue in the top right is cropped in such a way.
Maybe there was an angle where the statue wasn't in the image. Or maybe photoshop it out of the image.
(same for the tiny tops of the skyscrapers just below the skateboard)
