Best rail skier?

[jessejames]

It used to be Wallisch and Wesson and they are still amazing, but who do you think is the best rail skier currently?

 

[270on420out]

I don't know about the best, but Forster Meeks is an absolute animal. Makes me wish I would've bought a pair of Outsiders.

 

[a_burger]

cole drexler with all the taps

 

[casey_cope]

Cody potter isn't necessarily the best but he is very underrated [video]https://vimeo.com/126980320[/video]

 

[perryhunter]

Yeah! Wallisch and Wesson are still considered my best choices too.

 

[bighomieflock]

best is a silly word but my favorite to watch are ian compton and the bunch. Ian can get pretty tech too which is what I would assume you mean by best.

 

[Al.Capone]

I think it's personally subjective to people's individual taste, but I can always watch Vinny Ca$h a.k.a. Vincent Gagnier.

 

[_69]

Oystein Bratein (may have butchered that,) is always incredible to watch.

 

[John18_6]

nobody would be here without B&E, they stay a solid 7-8 years ahead of their time.

[Al.Capone]

Corey Vanular

 

[cdip]

I don't know about best, but will wesson is very clean.

Holy shit that 5 swap

 

[mat_espo]

It really is all personal preference but I think will and Wallisch are still at the top for TECHNICAL tricks.

Some of my other favourites are:

B dog

Clayton Vila

Corey vanular

 

[BAYKUR]

Josh Wong kills it

 

[veng_m]

street- vila

park-wallisch

 

[Mrworm10]

I dont know if id consider him the most technical, but Keegan Kilbride is easily my favorite skier to watch on rails. He brings so much style into everything and kills it! Sw 6 on 2 out, corks off rails, etc.

 

[corona]

would have expected Kai Krepela to be mentioned by at least the 3rd post.

Some of my AM favorites:

Franchino

Keegan

Josh Wong

Sam Zahner

Bobby Bittner

khai is the railgod, period.

 

[steezewonton]

Kai is the railgod but Josh Wong gets a close second in my book!!

 

[fredyferl]

nobody would be here without B&E, they stay a solid 7-8 years ahead of their time.

7-8 years ahead? calm down

 

[elcoach]

krepela

wesson

talkington

 

[rsvp]

andreas hatveit in his TGP edits gets pretty damn tech

 

[jamisonmace5]

oystein or khai

 

[musclehamster]

josh wong no doubT!!!!!!

 

[K-Dot.]

would have expected Kai Krepela to be mentioned by at least the 3rd post.

came here to post this, kai is the guy

 

[Sam__M]

I'm very surprised Hatveit has only been mentioned once...

He is pretty beast at rails.https://www.newschoolers.com/watch/772440.0/Park-Fury-Mixtape?c=11&t=6#B4VXTQVMIwR5KQyu.97

[sagesnow]

chris laker is dirt nasty and smooth as it gets

 

[JohnBolea]

Mike hornbeck

 

[Ian_Fitz]

Paul Marik isnt the best but he's still a beast!!

[eheath]

It used to be Wallisch and Wesson

Also op what do you mean used to be Tom or Will? Tom probably did some of the hardest rail tricks this year and will continues to do crazy rail tricks?

Exactly. Will can throw down super elusive's like nobody's business, and Tom is just Tom.

 

[Jib_High]

The dudes at Realskifi definitely deserve an honorable mention

 

[FUUUCK]

Andreas, despite being retired.

 

[maxstr]

phil Casabon with the style, but prob not the best

 

[lurking]

I think there are different types of rail gods.

Style- Hornbeck

Burliness- Clayton

Technicality- Khai

 

[nilszolland]

B Dog is way ahead of anyone.

 

[danbrown]

khais name has an h in it

 

[Cahal]

Why are we forgetting about Wallish. Tom continues to do some of the craziest urban tricks every year. Its not just his technicality, but the fact that he's able to do some the hardest tricks on some of the bigger urban rails we've seen. Just watch his level 1 segs. Execution plays a pretty big part when it comes to being the best rail skier and tom doesn't fall short there.

 

[.FRY.]

How has nobody mentioned Andreas?

 

[Mike.Records]

Cody potter isn't necessarily the best but he is very underrated [video]https://vimeo.com/126980320[/video]

That was fun to watch. He's clean, controlled, and technically strong, also love how his arms aren't all over the place.

 

[FastSpeed]

Bumping this thread because is tom, wession and khai still the best?

 

[minihef]

Andreas definitely deserves more mentions.

 

[lickmyballs]

krepela, period. no questions asked

 

[a_burger]

Will does so many sick 50-50s and presses now in addition to tech stuff I think I'd rank him best all around rail skier atm

I agree with this, khai is also absolutely insane too.

Gus?

Loved Khai's edit but Gus is legit. The 08/09 edit has rage film rail segments 2 mins in.
