I dont mind the second, but the flash has stopped the motion a little to much.

Note that is the nature of flash. At "full power" the flash duration is around 1/1000s and as the "power" goes down, the duration is even shorter. The only way to simulate motion when using flash is use rear curtain sync, go for a slow shutter speed and hope there is enough ambient light to get some image before the flash fires.
