Gap vs. Disaster

A disaster is when you skip part of the rail to land on a later part. A gap is taking off from a different jump or jumping over something

This.

For example;

Disaster: to do a disaster onto a down flat down rail you skip the first down flat, but you land and grind the last down part

Gap: you usually see people gapping rails by skipping the entire thing and just landing on the last 20cm of the rail so almost just tapping it
 
Disaster: Skipping over part of the rail, and landing and grinding a later part.

Example: On a Flat Down rail, one would come in with more speed, pop, and skip the flat and land on the down

Gap: Distance from the lip of the jump to a feature, landing, object, etc.

Example: A 10 foot gap from the lip of the jump to the rail or to the landing
 
Some people say 'gap to disaster' but I think in those contexts just 'disaster' would suffice. It implies you're gapping part of the rail
