Hands down. I don't think he even has a stance, he just goes whichever way he needs to get on whatever it is he's skating.

holy fuck thats a tall ass noseslide :o!

I don't think a frontside noseslide photo is good evidence of a skaters switch ability, lots of people find them easier switch than regular, myself included. I do agree about Tx though, I think he goes beyond just regular and switch too, he is equally comfortable nollie and fakie, frontside and backside, it's rad.

I just googled a photo. No emphasis on any specific one.

Street: Saari, Koston and of course Cole. These go the biggest.
Vert: Burnquist, the man can do insane things while going switch. So good I suspect steroids or other outside help.

All of these lack stance it seems. Sometimes i think they sold their souls to somebody in exchange for switch skills. Sure, there are many candidates but these people stand out the most, especially due to the fact that when they skate swich it looks so great. Aesthetics these guys bring to switch game is beautiful. Bob is on another level, "Extremely Sorry" and my personal favorite "Can?t stop" is art. Take a look, many have never seen it:

Shane O'neill is pretty up there, but I'm taking Paul any day. Walker Ryan is sick as well.

Guy Mariano and Ronnie Creager are the obvious answers, and I know I'm gonna get some hate on this one, but Darren Harper's fucked up switch pop deserves mention. Between the switch flip over that bench in DC and the switch tailslide and switch 180 nosegrind on that wall at freedom plaza, he's had some really memorable switch tricks.
Ali Boulala rips switch too
and everybody repping the whole "RIP Keenan" thing are slipping on this thread. I used to think the dude just pushed mongo from all the switch shit in his parts, and its been 3 pages without a mention?

Stefan janoski. Hands down. Hes not doing the most impossibly difficult stuff but every switch trick he does looks effortless and awesome.
