I feel this would have been a more powerfull shot if you had left it original. It looks like it was taken at night, indoors, so maybe not. The way it is I had to look long and hard to figure out it was a snowboarder.
I'm guessing the snowboarder was backlit and substantially underexposed? Not sure if you weren't better off leaving him in darkness rather than processing as you did.
I'm not sure how you did this or whether this is a person jumping or a flat sign being thrown into the air. Sorry to say it doesn't work for me and only feels confusing.
This has the potential of a very cool shot. You did a great job of capturing the subject in mid-air. I think, though, that there is too much post processing which really detracts from the image as a photograph, and kind of makes it more like digital art than photograhy.
