Obligatory:

RIP. Always wanted to look at it and see if I could at least ollie it.

When I went around 98 I was thinking "it's just like an 11 stair." The gap for some reason seemed scarier, pretty big and the landing is slippery as fuck. One of the team homeys, TJaden ollied it. Nobody else got anything. The small one on the side was sick but bars were up blocking the takeoff.

antwuan's nollie heel stands out to me. he's too casual when he does it, like he's sleepwalking.

That ON video is one of my favorite things on the internet. The one about LOVE is really tight too.
i
Reynolds switch backside heelflip wasn't my favorite looking trick down the gap, but the half cab flip is pretty incredible. I'm with Gipper though, Markovich/Dyrdek deserve some recognition for being the first guys to flip their board down it, I'll remember that hideous kickflip cover before any other tricks hahaha. What exactly did Merlino throw down Carlsbad?

I wish this clip had the roll up to the gap as well, which kinda made half the trick haha! This is the major thing besides THPS2 that pops up in my head when thinking about carlsbad. And maybe Josh Kasper.

By the way - that Wallenberg clip and that bs heel. Lindsey landing like he did id off a curb gets to me everytime. Can't comprehend.

dont forget rapping in his own part

Oh fuck I remember being there that day at Wallenburg. Lizard kings ollie to disaster on the last step might be the most fucked up thing i've witnessed in person! Bummed about the spot being done, I'm gonna go play some thps 2 later

Surely you jest. There was no higher point in skateboarding than Chris Lambert, flailing down a gap with a backwards flexfit and Etnies Czars. True glory years of skateboarding.

bandini · « **Reply #44 on:** February 24, 2012, 01:20:21 PM »

I think it's awesome that Josh Kasper used to go there by himself & skate the gap just for fun - no filmer or anything. Does anyone even do stuff like that anymore?

Suangi · « **Reply #45 on:** February 24, 2012, 01:34:44 PM »

Is it the same school as the leap of faith or is that just in THPS?

always sad to see classic spots gone...

I heard the dwp ledges got capped recently, can anybody confirm or deny this please?
must have been in the last two weeks or so, because I skated them not too long ago

The fence that Sheckler ollied and kickflipped was close to the same height if not higher, Shecks or maybe Jaws could do it.

Consider it confirmed. 3 inch long metal guys right in there. They might be removable, and seem like they are anchored and glued in, but not screwed in, but its not skateable anymore, not even as a manual really unless you are really really careful. Damned shame. Those were the best ledges in the world, they were so perfect, and there were a bunch of them!
I went to the place Kalis dubbed "LA Love" in the P. Rod bricklayers the other day and most of the ledges had bolts in them.

And give it a rest with the Reynolds shit, y'all saying that are some young'ns looking at it with no perspective. Reynolds has done a bunch of good shit on it, no doubt, but what he was doing down it never completely outclassed what other people were doing on it at the time, but Jeremy did.
Actually, I wouldn't even put Reynolds second, I'm sure a bunch of kids who started skating after Kasperholics will think I'm a kook, but Josh Kasper fucking killed that thing too.

Sheckler's kickflip is shockingly huge, but i think the leap of faith has a good five feet on it.

I realize this might sound stupid, but from this picture, it looks like the gap is still there. Maybe just modifying it?

Reynolds frontside half cab flip I'd assume. still waiting on the footage of Jim Greco nollie backside flipping it.
