Roger Mancha

Dylan Gardner

[shark tits]

not really but luis tolentino for the fact that he can skate ledges nobody else can.
tiago could fit in that category too.
it's just how you quantify 'best'.

or alex trebek says 'he's best known for el toro and lately miniramp but he can kf fs tailslide to anything out he wants'.
james? 'what the fuck is a bachinsky?'

Wenning is one of my all time favourites, but if we are talking difficulty of tricks i wouldn't put him on the list.

This has to be the stupidest fucking post ever. I’ll never respect anything you post ever again.
Wenning’s shit is insanely difficult and done perfectly. Switch back 180 to bs nosegrind pop out early was easy? Fakie bs 5-0 to front shove out in the middle of the ledge has ever been repeated?
Along with that, yeah, balancing a switch back nosegrind for 10 feet then popping out early may not have a ton of moving parts, but its way fucking harder than your favorite pro’s flick and pray flip to grind.
You disgust me.

Lol where did i say it was easy you fool? And yeah wenning doing a 10 foot long switch back nose grind pop out is very fucking hard, but if your gonna try and say a front feeble laser flip is easier then your tripping. Obviously not a visually pleasing trick. But its fact imo. Also i said in that post wenning is one of my favourites, so who's my favourite pro thats doing the flick and pray? Sorry for personally attacking you by saying i dont think wenning does the hardest ledge tricks. I hope someday you can suck his dick for real

Anybody who does a front feeble laser flip ON A LEDGE deserves to be taken behind a barn and shot. We said best ledge skater, not most circusy. Part of being “the best ledge skater” has to include trick selection.

FUCK this is my actual answer. One of my favorites since that random digital part. It's amazing how he lived in teh bay for like a decade but was still relegated to DC/Vans Canada teams.

Early flip in flip outs:

-Mayhew: kickflip bs nosegrind nollie flip in 99
-Daewon: fakie flip fakie bs 5-0 fakie flip in 97
-Jesse Erickson: kickflip back tail bigspin flip in 99

What Video does Edward Devera switch 270 front blunt bigspin in? Wasn’t that 93 or so?

Got to add Dylan. with that front tail kickflip out for one of the best single ledge tricks ever done. He popped that flip higher than the ledge was.

Forgot a few more. Montoya definitely gets a nod. Even though he fell the fuck off, Kyle Leeper was unreal at one point. And nowadays Zander Mitchell's Instagram.

While we're mentioning people from San Jose... Julian Quevedo.

Of all time it's gotta be Wenning or PJ. I thought Creager's name would pop up more.

McRaney never got his fair shake. Dude was legit.

Rob Welsh because Rob Welsh skates vert

[happenstance]

I think Gabriel Rodriguez deserves a mention for all his picnic table tricks at Lockwood in Paco.

[bo golden]

would like to mention Rodrigo TX and Javier Sarmiento.  i need to go watch Can't Stop.

[marty mcfly]

I wouldn't put Felipe or Shane in this category. As amazing as they are, Their main skill seems to be doing tough flip tricks into and out of basic slides and grinds. I could never do it, but a part of me feels like their tech skating is more about their control over flip tricks than their ability to lock into a ledge in wild ways. Is that a weird way to look at it?

Wow...pretty fucking dumb thing to say,Mr.teacher!!!

Shane Is Good at flipping his Board into Basic slides/grinds ?what kind of bullshit is this?
Sw 360flip nosebluntslide halfcab flip
(Nosebluntslide Is basic to you?)

Nollie back heel fakie nosegrind sw heel
(Fakie nosegrind Is basic to you?)

What about bigspin fakie 5-0 halfcab flip?
...Is a fakie 5-0 basic to you?

Whats „locking into a ledge wild ways“?please explain it.
Yeah...cause i‘m Stupid bla bla bla...don’t
give me the standard gipper asshole answer
On this one!
Wenning NEVER did a single trick more technical than shane!

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

You almost had a reasonable response, but then you had to be a dumb jealous kook with a vendetta against me despite the fact that I have no clue who the fuck you are.

I still prefer Wenning. Cry, bitch.

This is on point. It's not what you want to hear gip, but it's truth.


Also, looking through the posts and damn I overlooked alot of people. Probably alot more being over looked too.

Russ millgan absolutely belongs on the list.

I don't think he's been mentioned? But with all the PJ mentions you have to add gallant, imo.

Glad stenger was mentioned.

For technically advancing ledge skating in the present, hard to say Shane O'Neill is not the best currently.

Creager for me was the funnest to watch. Mj too

And of course he’s coming trough with
the gipper asshole answer while thinking
a long backside nosegrind is more technical
than a Switch flip back tail Switch 270 heel.
Nope,bitch!
