ok honestly I was bored, found the spot on google earth, and its roughly 7.5 feet across.

how would the camera angle make it look so much bigger, im really asking. any photographers here

Forget how wide that shit is, Jake should be in the NBA with that 6 foot vertical leap of off flat.

Had to open the image in a separate tab and gaze at it for 2 mins
to see that its a clever angle trick. Gap is still pretty big though

I think the issue is that you can't really tell which part of the gap he's skating. He could be way further from the camera than you instantly assume because there's nothing to put where he is into perspective. Sick photo either way.

I need to see the video of this just to see if the gap is as big as it looks in the photo..... If so then that's absolutely fucked and JJ just kicked every other switch 3 flip ever done directly in the testicles

hey i live like 10 minutes from there! it's in Seoul South Korea (Yeouido Park at Yeouinaru Station if you happen to give a fuck)

awesome shot and trick but that photo is deceptive. it's about as wide as a parking spot. sick photo though.

here are some other angles of that stream

abudabi · « **Reply #43 on:** February 04, 2015, 07:55:03 PM »

damn, you must get to skate a lot of cool spots. still a rad trick, but that photo makes it look way gnarlier.

Gray Imp Sausage Metal · « **Reply #45 on:** February 04, 2015, 08:09:19 PM »

south korea is so untapped in terms of spots, defs the next china
also, sif he didn't firecracker down the first step to switch tre UP said river

There are many reasons I'm embarrassed to have 200+ posts on slap; a lot of "guilty by association". But the second-hand embarrassment I feel for a dude that used Google Earth to measure the length of a gap in a photo is overwhelming.

SHARPSHOOTER · « **Reply #50 on:** February 04, 2015, 11:18:58 PM »

I can't really comprehend what's going on here. Is he landing off-frame? Is this even real? I'm almost questioning the authenticity of this, unless it's just really good camera work.

I'm not really sure what's going on to be honest. The little water way at points at points is very narrow (like a leg on each side narrow) and at a small amount of other parts it is about a parking space (but no wider).

Most importantly ithey hit up Seoul, the amount of spots here is mind blowing.

giggling at all the people who were so bummed on him "not skating to his potential" whenever that Converse pole jam video came out.

was a ridiculous sentiment at the time and now it's even more ridiculous

Get fired up · « **Reply #53 on:** February 05, 2015, 09:27:26 AM »

That photo makes it look crazy huge.
I love jake but I'm not really a fan of photos that you can't see the landing properly.
The photographer should have panned left a bit.

Fenzadill · « **Reply #54 on:** February 05, 2015, 10:18:02 AM »

The section he's doing the switch tre over is visibly wider than those photos you posted. Look at the stepping stones.

herrington's goes no doubt but that street gap is relatively small, probably around 5 and a half feet plus the runway is near perfect

if the blocks in the background should work as a bridge, you can estimate how long it is.

Do you guys know how small the Koreans are? They are sailing steamboats down this.
