The Carlsbad Gap is one of the most famous skateboarding landmarks in the world. It is located in Carlsbad, California at Carlsbad High School. It is a grass gap the size of an eleven stair. When the skater lands after a trick down the gap, the ground the skater lands on goes uphill, increasing the difficulty of rolling away from a trick. There is an eleven stair with a kinked handrail beside the gap. Many famous professional skateboarders have skated the gap over the years, and as a result it has appeared in countless skateboard videos and photos in magazines over the years.[1]
