In our first "spot of the week," we explore the infamous "Verizon gap". Located in Coppell, TX, the large office complex is home to an array of spots like a concrete fun-box, stairs with perfect ride-ups, and a large grass gap that's been seen in pro videos.
After 5pm during the week, or on the weekends, is the best time to visit the area. Rest assured, if you come to skate during business hours, security will promptly kick you out; or worse. Testing your luck may result in an expensive write-up from Coppell's finest.
This spot is for skaters with an intermediate to advanced skill set. While skating this spot, Skate Dallas not responsible for any injuries sustained, or violations issued. SKATE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Four stair
Located on the eastern edge, this stair set is perfect for warming up. The stairs are wide, and you have plenty of room for riding-up and riding away. The kinked railing, and the stacked paving bricks are hazards for perspective rail sliders. But scuff marks on the railing shows that grinding is possible.
The seven stair is on the same line as the four, with about 200ft of flat ground between, providing the perfect setup for your run. Ride-up and landing are clean, and a grassy hill makes grinding more inviting.
Fun box
In the parking lot, you will find a concrete fun-box similar to those in skateparks. It's small, but you have plenty of room to practice your manuals and stalls. "Verizon Gap"
This is it! The main attraction. This grassy monster is not for the faint of heart. It's only about 7ft long, but it's not very tall; clearing it is a formidable task. Luckily, you have plenty of room to generate speed, and the landing is level and smooth.
