Nice, i reckon that the 3rd shot shows the most effective use of the flashes - not too garish but not too subtle.

Good work.

Re: "illuminating shadow" - well that depends on what you mean when you say that.
JAW

I think he means 'Eliminate', as in 'get rid of'. Or am I wrong?

your right i  need to get rid of shadows.

No. You don't want to completely eliminate shadows. It's better to use the lighting angles creatively. You can use fill flash to lighten the shadows on one side but you shouldn't get rid of them. I'd experiment with lots of different positions and see what works for you.

If you do want to obliterate them then just stick the flash on camera, make it a little bit too powerful and point it straight at the rider. But that doesn't give as nice a look.
