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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 This is my OPINION.

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

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!

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. josh o'connel is a machine.

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.

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

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

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. That song was awesome too

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!

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

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