outside racing how do you decide who is the best? No offence but you can only tell the best from how many diciplines they race and what their average rank in all of them is other then that its all bullshit, who is better rodney mullen or danny way? is chris dahl better then Bam? you cant say that any of those are better then the other because its all opinion, who really gives a fuck anyway? skating is freedom for most of us fuck who is the best

In Australia, Adam Luxford. I dont think there is anything he can not do well on a skateboard. I've seen him turn up and be competitive at slalom with no practice. If he ever gets serious in downhill, he would be fast.
Jackson Shapiera. I am convinced when he puts his mind to it, there is nothing he can not do on a skateboard. Great all rounder. The photo below is the day I first met Jacko. Sliding around Allawah. I started sponsoring him at the end of that year to see how good a young skater could be at slalom. Within 12 months he was the fastest in Australia. 2nd at the amateur slalom world championships. And had made it on the podium, 2nd in a IGSA World Cup race. Finished the year ranked 10th in the world in downhill.

I claimed Jacko's cherry after taking him down the gong for the first time in his life for serious DH and making him shit his pants. Next was Mt Pano for the Newton Playground test day 3 months before the actual event and the rest is history.
Now he whops my ass on any hill. Good onya Jacko for pushing your limits.
I have to second Hop's opinion for Lux best in Aus. alrounder.
I'll never forget the day I went out to the Maroubra bank shootout 07' I think? and they had the park slalom/cross. Lux totally annihilated all other competitors and managed to pickup the last cone at full speed and wear it as a hat as he got major air off a hip crossing the finish line mid flight.

Lux is the vert/bowl skater that goes fast! At the timed park slalom at Dulwich he was miles ahead of anybody else. And he knocked me out of the GS last year at Newtons in the first round, and came close to winning the whole thing despite not owning a slalom board and having ridden slalom only a couple of times.
Internationally, Jason Mitchell is somebody to mention. One of the fastest slalomers, and also an ex-pro vert skater.

Paul Carey (PC) gets my vote. Frontside air out of a bowl, totally relaxed bombing hills, absolutely smashes through cones and dance moves like this on a loaded just cause he can..
Plus the fact he's ripping in all these disciplines 40+ and a totally down to earth and great guy as well...
