Planning to take your skating international - check out these iconic locations before you go

It was Jeremy Wray and his epic skating at the Southern California school in Plan B’s 1994 video ‘Second Hand Smoke’ that put the gap in the spotlight and ensured its iconic status. While the school also featured an array of ledges, stairs, benches and gaps, it was the larger of the two gaps that provided a sure-fire route to skating fame, if you went big enough.

Those that did and landed landmark tricks included Josh Kasper’s 360 flip, Kris Markovich’s kickflip and Tom Penny’s switch frontside kickflip. The Gap is now sadly gone, but the legend lives on.
