So was the gap as big as the original? 12'?
No, the gap was 4 feet smaller than the original.
I think they made it like that so that dudes would try to bust over it, the original only had 2 tricks go down and that was because it was fucking huge.
Also they wanted to put coping across the gap, and that would have been ludicrous on the original width.
I'm surprised more people didn't get broke off on that thing.
Kale Sandridge broke his collarbone slipping out on a frontside 50-50 and Willis Kimball rang his bell on a switch backside 50-50, which he was about to make had he not slammed so bad.
There was no padding or protection there and I guess they thought if anybody eats it they're gonna land in sand but I assure you that shit hurts.
