Fixed Gear Riding Pro Skateboarders

It seems that a lot of skateboarders, especially older ones like myself (I’m nearly 30 don’t ya know?) like to ride fixed so I thought I’d do some investigation (Googling) and try and compile the definitive list of fixed gear riding pro skaters. There are some riders out there that fit in the common knowledge category but there are others that can be classified under he said/she said. Here’s what I came up with, I’m sure I’m missing some obvious ones, post in the comments and I’ll update the post…
