Skateboard photography / flash / motion bur

[DaveB7]

Hi everyone,
this is my first post so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I take a lot of skateboarding photos, I use a Nikon D60, w Tokina fisheye & an SB-600 speedlight. However as I'm sure most of you are aware the maximum shutter speed I can get while using the flash is 1/200 and more often than not I get some motion blur. to the best of my knowledge (which isn't saying much) the D60 dosen't come with a HSS option, I've included three examples, any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Dave

Unfortunately the D60 and D40 do not support high speed sync above 1/250th. Probably a victim of the lower price point of those bodies. They have to make compromises in design somewhere.

I like that third shot. I think the slight motion blur on the skaters head adds to the sense of motion in the shot overall.

Thanx Gregg, Yeah I don't mind the effect, I just don't want to be limited to it whenever I use the flash. It sounds like there is no way around this except upgrading my body.
