satori shreds the gnar, he'll own anyone who touches a wakeskate..............................you cant just pick a best they're all amazing at what they do and have their own little knacks at certain things, for instance, nick and his progression, hampson and his amazing pop on everything, grubbs waketowake consistency, daniels and his flip tricks, reed and his technical tricks not to metnion going bigger wake to wake then anyone while still managing to be haggard, its all variable

Almost an echo from headhuntermx4, but here's my list:
Horrell: Lip and overall stylemaster
Reed: rails, wake to wake tech
Hampson: overall skills wake, lip, flat, rails
Grubb: overall wake to wake skills
Lemons: style on fliptricks
Tompkins: rails
Byerly: the pop he gets on almost every trick is amazing.
Daniels: tech and consistency
Taylor: tech-inventor (future kid of wakeskating)

Everyone has their own right to their opinion but I must disagree with JB_CANSKATE, with him claiming Brandon Thomas one of the most "stylish" wakeskaters around. To even compare his style to Horrell is embarrassing in my point of view but that's my own preference.......

yea i'm pretty embarrassed


I watched BT at last years wakestock on the winch setup and in my opinion him and doyle ripped it appart and blew everybody else out of the water litterally! I liked his section in Asterisk and i like his manuals linking tricks.

But i'm still really embarassed

MLwakeskate, agreed aaron reeds part in alla prima is gonna blow minds you guys are gonna shite your trousers, it is gonna be the best part in the video, reed kills it behind the boat just as hard as grubb, but grubb has been doing a lot of the same tricks forever but he makes them look good, reed is progressing w2w in different ways though too

Lemons, Horrell, Reed, Hampson, Tony Berard, Taylor (nice name by the way), McGuckin, Grubb, Tompkins, and of course Torr and Barber for giving us guys a run for our money.

the funny thing is alotta people agreed with me and i didnt put d hamp for anything, and for real his part in sfumato is amazing but lately ive seen hime be barely better than that and that was a while ago. to me he hasnt progressed much but maybe when alla prima comes out it will be different but swear if there is anymore carves from him im gna shizzle on someones face.

its also funny that nicky t is getting compared up there with all the greats, not that he doesnt deserve it but i wonder if he would be up in the catagory if it wasnt for the 3flip?

Absolutly not... well.. maybe for people who havnt skated with him... taking it from experiance.. ive skated with nick on several occasions.. and i can truly say he is one of the best wakeskaters out there, not only cuz he can throw massive lines, big flip tricks, or he has the most style ive seen outa really alotta people, but he has so much fun, he can be skateing on a the poooze barefoot doing surface judos shuvs and AND A KICKFLIP AHH, or playing with a dollar store squirt gun and capping himself after a front big lol. I really do belive nick is one of the best and is only going ot get better, every time i talk to him hes progressed more and more. And im probly gunna get flamed for sucking up....but belive me im not, i tell that kid to fill his life jacket with rocks when he rides so he drowned Wink

Laughing Laughing hahahhahahhahahahahaha omg that was funny good one dude (high five)

i hope you pick up on my sarcasm cause im laying it on pretty thick here.


manueling is such a hard trick i mean wow Shocked how does he do it, he must have like super duper balance and controll to be able to put more wieght on his fron foot then his back. I hope to someday be able to do "manuels" like Brandon Thomas. I meen BT is deffinetly a leader in performing such "ground breaking manuvers" as the manuel.

Who im going to go by a gate/karma so that i can manuel like BT and do nollies off the double up.

In the words of the immortal Brandon Livermore "kill yourself"
