- The Infamous Carlsbad Gap: This obstacle was located at Carlsbad High School and while the size of the gap was already challenging enough the real tricky part was the slight curved/uphill landing at the bottom. A crack right before the gap and the retaining wall at the bottom also made this spot challenging. The Carlsbad gap was a proving ground for many skaters, but unfortunately it was destroyed in 2012.
- The Rincon Big Four: Located in Escondido and known for it’s four large tiers and unique square shaped rails make this skate spot truly unique. Each tier is the size of three average-sized steps making it as tall as an average twelve stair set. Rincon is still popular and skated regularly to this day.
- Chain to Bank: Popular from the mid 90’s to the early 2000’s this San Diego bank featured a chain running through multiple posts across the top making it a challenging combination. If clearing the chain and landing down the steep bank wasn’t difficult enough, there was also a protruding curb at the bottom that had to be managed as well.
