First there was T- Heed that showed that skier could have sick lazy steez on rails, made it look so easy and simple even with spins on and off, then came T-Wall same lazy style but with more tech rail skills with the pretz and all. So whats next for rail skiing and how will be the next T-____?

neither one of them really did much for rails. wow. they have good style while doing tricks. thats not pushing rails. what wesson and the other traveling circus dude are doing, THATS pushing rails. doing a 2 on pretz 2 out with more steeze isnt progressing rails, just looking damn good doing something that other people do.

i think rails are moving towards nosepresses, tailpresses, nollies, transfers, one foot grinds, and other technical stuff like that

enough of the spin to win 630 on pretz switch up 450 off
its sick, but it gets old

someone bring some smooth and technical ideas
ahmets pretty damn sick

charles bronson and the fucking return.

for real though, t-wall was a nutty mutha fucker. his 450 ons were so legit, and if you have never tried a 450 on, its pretty tough, and he does them smmoooootttthh. as for t-heed, mutha fucka was ill. switch pretzels are hardddddddd, and i'm sure on non center mounted skis it was rough. thats all they skied on when he filmed wicked. as for that nig t-wall, he obviously slayed but on center mounted skis i'm sure someone was bound to step up to the plate, he was just the first to really do it.

but whos next? andy mutha fuckin parry. will mutha fuckin wesson and john mutha fuckin strenio (watch born from ice and tell me you knew this was coming). dopest skiers in the rail game right now.

maybe you don't remember Tom W's "Pretzelman" video, but that right there was the most advanced rail edit EVER at the time.  No one was doing pretzels like that it made me scream with joy/wonder/doubt.  and recycling old, make-me-gag rollerblading tricks is not pushing rails.  Wallisch is a G and super sick, always has been always will be.

T heed changed the game. Straight up.

anyone denying that fact is either straight up ignorant, or wasn't around 4 years ago when rail skiing went from gorilla touch your boot slides, to stand up and pretend to be really lazy. EVERYONE was biting that shit, and it still shows today.

Yea, maybe people had done pretzels before Tom... but clearly, at the time, pretzels were not what they are today. Toms "Pretzelman" video put pretzels on the map. Simple as that.

Tom has been pushing the sport for years before he was big. And hell continue to lead the way for years to come.

henrik doesnt really push rail skiing to a new level he does push the jump part to the limits. Granted he is amazing on rails but he doesnt really do anything new or different like Andy Perry.

I think brogan is a lot like heed.   Gets some shots in some videos becasue hes got some smooth style, but never pushes their riding further than that.  we shall see.

because u can flail huck onto a rail and expect to stick ever it like u can with big air.  so even if you throw 6 on u can just huck it because u need a lot more control.
