Jenkem revisits Point Loma High in San Diego with Jamie Thomas and others who were there for Leap of Faith. Spot is now unskateable and has never had a make.

Why skaters like it

Pulled up in drop height threads. Crew measured it at 14ft 3in, and skaters compare it to Lyon 25 and Miami's leap.

“Seems to me that 15ft is about the max-out point - Jaws has surmised the same in interviews before”

They measured the Leap of faith at 14ft 3in in this video [VIDEO]. Jaws said the Lyon 25 is 14ft 9in and the Miami leap of faith [VIDEO] is 14ft 6in. Seems to me that 15ft is about the max-out point - Jaws has surmised the same in interviews before

Yeah, it’s unskatable. Although someone recently ollied a drop that’s nearly a replica of the spot. I’m pretty sure it could be done these days, and that it would’ve been checked off had they not remodeled. Good recent vid [VIDEO] on the leap if you got 10 minutes - the trick I’m talking about is the final one in the end montage
