Yeah, probably. Between the trick he chose, how high he popped, how long he slid it, and how perfectly he did it, its hard to claim anything else.

Best ledge skater ever is Wenning. Not only did he do hard tricks perfectly, he also really put a lot of thought into his tricks.

Other honorable mentions in that category:
Tim O'Connor
Bobby DeKeyzer
Henry Sanchez
Rob Welsh
I could probably go on for a while here...
Edit: since he might go overlooked, Danny fuckin' Garcia.

wenning, welsh, and out of modern skaters probably suciu, bobby dk, tiago off the top of my head. will marshalls pretty good too, but would like to see more non insta clips

Ronald Wilson Reagan · « **Reply #11 on:** June 10, 2018, 09:33:58 PM »

Carlos Ribeiro too! Fuck I knew I'd keep coming up with names.

IHOP · « **Reply #12 on:** June 10, 2018, 09:52:55 PM »

I hate to say that the best ledge skater is probably felipe gustavo or shane oniell, so I'll just say Its bobby d

yea I gotta agree with the sw back tail heard round the world

Ronald Wilson Reagan · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2018, 10:12:02 PM »

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?

Don't forget Carroll and Koston

Matze · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2018, 12:12:34 AM »

I always thought that the bs 180 fakie fs 5-o revert by A.P. was an outstanding ledge trick.

SodaJerk · « **Reply #18 on:** June 11, 2018, 01:49:47 AM »

Every person named above is valid but I can't believe no one has mentioned Mike Mo yet, or maybe I can believe it. I get what Gipper said about flips in and out not defining the metric but those guys are good at what they do.

silhouette · « **Reply #19 on:** June 11, 2018, 03:47:37 AM »

personal current favorite, lesser seen ledge clip has to be Rob Welsh's noseslide to b/s nosebluntslide (on one of them, the front truck seems to catch the edge):

where and how do you even start approaching that?...

also obviously Daewon deserves a mention, on purely technical terms, his 'Second To None' part is fucked

quaintly · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2018, 03:53:29 AM »

good luck coming up with a more difficult one than the bs 180 nose grind switch big heel out .

Still haven't seen any footage of anyone else doing it.

I know Slap likes to hate on Sewa, but the dude has done some insane tricks. Hardflip bs nosegrind late front foot flip out.

Youness should be mentioned here as well.
