Dominik Nekolny

I wish Nathan still rode. He was so stupid good in and out of contests. I remember watching his contest runs from the CFB in Woodward where he freestyled for like 3 minutes straight and it was just amazing.

I had purpously shyed away from responding to this thread as it's a tough one as there have been truly many amazing riders over the years including people like Bob and Kev who truly shaped our sport. But if I had to choose 5 then these are the ones on the top of my head, but I could add at least 20 other names to this list of favorite all time riders.

Kelan Philips
Paul Osika
John Stapleton (dorkin 4)
Larry Bull
Faris
