Title: Long time big handrail skaters
Post by: 93 Til Infinity on April 23, 2021, 01:18:58 AM: Who has most consistently skated the biggest scariest handrails for a decent time? Figgy comes to mind, Heath, Nyjah too. Who else?

I recently started following Emerica on Instagram and they're always posting little throwaway iPhone clips of him doing a crooked grind down an 8 stair or something. Guy skates big rails with a comfort and at an age when the average amateur is settling into "curb guy" territory.

Gravette

I was scrolling way too long before I saw this answer, should be at the top even if he doesn’t really skate rails like that anymore.

This right here, he is/was part of the younger generation of rail chompers I think 2003ish?! after Reynolds had his shine and started Baker Gravette came in like a heat wave along with Leo Romero and Brandon Westgate manhandled some decent sized rails.

Post by: Molte on April 24, 2021, 06:36:48 AM: Rowley and the Chief must've had an at least 10 years streak being top shelf each.

To be honest, I haven't payed attention to everything Gravette has put out, but I always think of him as one that peaked early and fast. This might be a great opportunity to school me.
