Wenning has always been my favorite for the reasons mentioned by Gipper and others, but also out of irrational New Jersey pride. Jersey is fertile ground for ledge skaters. That's probably why you can catch Asta at the Princeton Fountain seemingly every weekend.

Other than that, Dekeyzer is fucking incredible and I don't think Austyn gets enough credit for his ledge game.

I think this part made me want to skate ledges more than any other part in my childhood.

Agree with lots of these.
I think Bobby Worrest deserves a mention.  Lots of insanely hard switch shit with speed and power.

 For a really serious answer in this order:

1. Guy Mariano
2. Henry Sanchez
3. Brian Wenning

Those 3 are legends and the majority of their skating is ledges. I feel Jesus Fernandez is up there but he's not as legendary as those 3, so I gave up listing more, it's too hard to say. There's plenty of legendary ledge skaters but they're also legends skating other stuff...like Chris Cole and Eric Koston for example.

Picking the best ledge trick of all time is too broad. Techest, longest, stylish, nose grind, back tail, nose blunt? You'd have to do categories. Maybe what video has the best ledge skating of all time, Mouse?
