I saw this kid in a rail jam we had on campus i think his name is Larry? he was doing sweeet cab 270 tail presses. A guy from Krazywake productions got a few shots of him.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/578319.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/578320.jpg" alt="Upload">

I enjoy watching Lidberg. Heather Johnson is also one of the best I have seen. Her style appeals to me. I have also consistently been a fan of the Bonifay's when it comes to rails. The above rider has great style though, I think that rail jams have really given the community a chance to really push what is capable on rails when it comes to styling things out.

bhileman 05-08-2008 6:33 PM

yeah josh that is larry taylor, he is a really good rail rider I have seen him several times. I would have to say shane bonifay, no one can press like him.

wakemitch 05-08-2008 6:38 PM

Justin Fisher shreds.

wakedad33 05-08-2008 6:53 PM

Lidberg, Shane and Julian Cohen get my vote, but Larry Taylor is coming on strong in the rail jam's

alevitt 05-09-2008 9:50 AM

Lidberg, Rathy, Raphael Derome, Oliver Derome, Yannick Thibault and Didier Godbout. They all crush it.

96formula 05-09-2008 9:59 AM

Yeah, larry throws down on the rails. And he's rockin' the 08 marius platty, What What!!

waterdork88 05-09-2008 1:21 PM

1. Josh O'Connel <BR>2. Shane Bonifay <BR>3. Rathy

norcalbordr 05-09-2008 1:39 PM

Shane for guys, Heather Johnson for girls

K.B.C. 05-09-2008 1:39 PM

henshaw also has some straight nasty tail slides

ralph 05-09-2008 1:55 PM

Another vote for Josh O'Connell, his nose press 3 is crazy.

dadthedriver 05-09-2008 1:57 PM

Larry Taylor is tearing up the rails. Watch for him to make a big impact at rail jambs this year.

jarrod 05-09-2008 2:08 PM

That shot of Larry exhibits some unique style. I like.

waken4life 05-09-2008 2:47 PM

those pics are over pressed, at a certain point it becomes too much "squatting" and not enough board flex, like doyle on a wakeskate. Lidberg for insane combos and Shane for tech, henshaw is also solid as fucth <BR>This is my OPINION.

wakeparent 05-09-2008 4:17 PM

He's one white kid...<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

joshbuzz 05-09-2008 6:39 PM

Shane and Gabe Lucas!

vlxray 05-09-2008 7:44 PM

I like Collin Harrington. He kills the rails and is way underrated IMHO.

ynot 05-09-2008 8:49 PM

Im not gonna lie, im pretty pumped i get to sit next to that white kid all the way to the first PWT stop. My dads a doosh, gettin the first class seat. Cant wait. The first pic at the top is insane! i thought he was going the other way then i saw the handle and i just cant believe it. off the chain

liquid_force24 05-10-2008 3:24 AM

u guys have not seen rail riding until uve seen a lil new zealand guy by the name of Josh O'Connell that rides down here in Oz! <BR> <BR>one of most insane things u see him do is start now pressin and then starts spinnin on the nose <BR> <BR>there is alot of footage on Christian's new movie 'Sticks and levers' - australias first cable dvd <BR> <BR>cheers LF24

pyrosmurf 05-10-2008 3:50 AM

One more vote for Josh O'Connel

ezekiel700 05-10-2008 5:49 AM

Did I miss something or is there a reason why Parks has not been mentioned. He is by far the most advanced and consistent. Not to mentioned he did all of this years ago!

romes 05-10-2008 9:08 AM

i wouldnt go that far m's...i like what parks does on the rail but i'm not sold on his particular style. i think henshaw's a sav, lidberg, rathy, shane n watson are all beasts when it comes to sliding. <BR> <BR>josh o'connel is a machine.

srh00z 05-10-2008 9:57 AM

I will agree with Josh Oconnel, I have a feeling we will be seeing alot more of him. He has a style that will make anybody take notice.

joshbuzz 05-10-2008 11:55 AM

JoshO is sick. <BR> <BR>His section in the extras of OZinUS is sick

joshbuzz 05-10-2008 11:59 AM

That nose press on the box at 3:30 is ridiculous. If you haven't seen it watch it now!

joshbuzz 05-10-2008 12:00 PM

Collin Harrington rocks the rails to. That pic of him transferring onto the handrail in WBM or alliance(can't remember which, and don't have time to look)is just plain dirty

lfxstar 05-10-2008 1:15 PM

That is an amazing clip and really sick riding. He is doing what I have been focusing on doing behind the cable, lots of controlled glides and different off axis 180 variations and unique 360s. That vid makes me want to go ride right now!! That nuke 3 was so sick, i've tried one or two and they are SUPER hard, mad props. <BR>That song was awesome too

lfxstar 05-10-2008 1:16 PM

Oh yes, back on topic... <BR>PARKS IS THE BEST RAIL RIDER IN THE WORLD HANDS DOWN.

stxr_racer 05-10-2008 2:20 PM

Not me...hit my first slider the other day at age 48 and slid the whole length of it on my ass....very funny..lol!

wakeparent 05-10-2008 5:53 PM

This is a good photo by Steve Hahn.. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/578865.jpg" alt="Upload">

lfxstar 05-10-2008 6:08 PM

Damn Bevan, 48 and charging sliders!! sick!! I know i've said it before buy i am infatuated with your boat

srh00z 05-10-2008 8:41 PM

These pics of Larry Taylor are sick. Bevan, I am diggin your boat too, we need some more pics of the graphics.

radikal 05-11-2008 6:46 AM

Yeah Adam big up to the Derome bro's not a lot of people know good french canadien riders, it start with j-f gosselin in the past <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

pvsawyer 05-11-2008 7:12 PM

Ok, ya'll may not have heard of this gal from the UK, but she kills the rails. I stumbled upon some of her videos on the internet some time ago. Her name is Steph Caller. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/579095.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/579096.jpg" alt="Upload">

mbsteez 05-11-2008 9:59 PM

honestly i very much dislike slides where the rider is soooooooooo crouched down like that. stand tall and you can still get a solid nose/tail slide and it just looks soooooooo much better!

lfxstar 05-11-2008 10:14 PM

Steve, i agree with you 100%

eliotflydog 05-12-2008 10:35 AM

Parks

jarrod 05-12-2008 10:42 AM

Parks is forgetten now I guess that he's been injured. 3 years ago no one could touch him on rails.

detonate69 05-12-2008 10:53 AM

You gotta give props to Shawn Watson. He just won the Carnival and went heads up with Parks for the title. <BR> <BR>Parks is still my fav though, he just kills anything.

stephan 05-12-2008 10:54 AM

What about Rob Jacques. Also didn't Watson just win the Carnival?

wakeparent 05-12-2008 11:16 AM

The Valdez brother's tear the rails up!!

juiceman831 05-13-2008 5:10 PM

Tino Santori-Mens <BR>Melissa Marquardt-Womens <BR> <BR>Only because Im a big fan of theirs.

jtnz 05-13-2008 5:54 PM

Josh O rips, that vid is sick.

curtbernstein 05-19-2008 11:13 AM

Parks, Watson, Lidberg

joefloe 05-21-2008 5:37 AM

JULIAN COHEN. by far he has sick style and for technical rail tricks
