Which IPhones better for taking skateboarding photos, the iPhone 5C or IPhone 5S

The honest answer is, that would depend on who is using it.

It's the photographer that gets the credit for interesting shots not the camera.

Depends on photographer. Both iPhones have 8 MegaPixel cameras.

For action shots? Then none of them! Since you can't control the shutter speed with a phone - unless you want blurry action shots.

Which ever one has better reception so you can call B&H at 800.606.6969 and buy a real camera.

Your question is like asking: "I want to drive on the freeway, which golf cart is best?" Um, you shouldn't be driving on the fricken freeway in a golf cart. Sure, it'll move, and it's got tires, an accelerator and a set of breaks just like a real car. But a golf cart is no more a real car than a cellphone is a real camera.

The image quality on any cell phone is poor at best. Instead of buying a phone, you'd be better off buying a similarly priced camera.

Both will work just fine if the sun is shiningin and the subject is shining in that light of the sun. If not it will be blurry.

None of them. Beyond the reasons that others have given, cell phone cameras have wide angle lenses. That means that you will have to get close enough to your subject to fill the frame, which means that (1) they will blow by you too swiftly for you to capture them successfully. (2) You run the risk of them running you over.
