Soap Team announced
Jun 29, 2003 by derek

Yo, Soap announced their official team today at soapshoes.com. Go see who's hot and on the new team (not that I'm biased or anything, hehe).

Seriously though, we've got some new guys, and some guys that have seriously deserved to be on it for a long time. I think you'll know who I'm talking about once you see the lineup.

Jun 30, 2003 Mart

...why are The Bench Boys on there?

Jun 30, 2003 Tanner

Wow, NYCS on there, not even ASKING to be on the team. Those who DID ask (Me) got screwed. Nice job SOAP. Congrats Derek, Alexei, Zach, Jordan, and Turbo!

Jun 30, 2003 fireproof273

yah, congrats derek/alexia for making the SOAP team, I think that you guys really deserved to be on that SOAP team.

Jun 30, 2003 Mart

Duuuude! Alexia's a giiiirls name!

Jul 1, 2003 Wesker

That first video you saw was footage that was atleast 3 years old. We made a video case we wanted to. We do land proper grinds, Actualy, They're all proper. Just not on rails as you would like. Yes we have progressed since then and we did no "ball licking" to get on the team, and as I recall I strongly recomended Tanner for the Soap team and Tanner got on the team but he didn't want to send them a video. Granted non one else had to, But his chance was still there.

Jul 1, 2003 Mart

Ryan J's in the Navy, EJ Stacey's probably hit puberty now, I think Bryndon's concentrating more on Lox Shoes and his movie company... and I have no idea about the others

Jul 1, 2003 alexei

Congrads to everyone else who made it, and tanner, keep trying.

Jul 1, 2003 Louis

Congratulations all the soap team! Especially the NYCS guys, that must have taken alot of ball licking.

Jul 1, 2003 Louis

no offence if they've progressed since that video a while back where they dont land a single proper grind, but looking at their pictures they dont look bad really...sorry...

Jul 1, 2003 Mart

They didn't even ask to be on it. Now... look at the skills Tanner and Greg have, and know that they asked and were rejected

Jul 2, 2003 aaron

I'm EXTREMELY surprised greg would've got rejected... he's got mega talent...

basically there is two things that they should've been looking for in team members.... image (promotional quality, influence, etc.) and talent....

greg has that wonderful cocky, somewhat insane personality and humour that makes him very unique... it's perfect for a promotional purpose...

plus, greg is extremely talented... definately a substantial amount better than anyone else i see on that list
the only downside is he's canadian, so maybe that had something to dow with it?

Jul 2, 2003 Crossbuster

Next step: Soap Team UK... hehe sweet I'd be a member definitely :) that would rock!

Jul 2, 2003 GreenBeret

i concur greg does seem to have lots of talent by the looks of his pics.

Jul 2, 2003 Wesker

Thats why Tanner TOLD ME he was on the team but then said he didn't want to be when he had to send video right?

Jul 2, 2003 Mart

So why did he tell me otherwise? And why would he turn down a place on the Soap team if he was already on it, judging by how pissed he is right now that you're on and he isn't?

I like how you have nothing to say about the comments I made about your video/skills

Jul 2, 2003 Mart

Y'know... you to have first showed them need media get on the team :|

Jul 2, 2003 Mart

Speaking of image, anyone seen Wesker's picture on the Soap site? *rimshot*

Jul 2, 2003 Tanner

When did I say I was on the team?

Jul 2, 2003 Wesker

I don't know why he told you otherwise. He told me exactly what I told you there and I didn't know he was mad at me since last we talked he didnt show any anger to me. I've been nothing but nice to him and tried to get him on the team.

And as for my video. Atleast I update my site with new video instead of waiting years. No one seems to have a problem with me except for you, so buzz off.

Jul 2, 2003 Wesker

When you were talking to me some time ago. After the convo with that you said "fuck Soap" cause you didnt wanna send them video.

Jul 2, 2003 Mart

That's bullshit. Tanner sent a bunch of pics after the asked for pics or video, then they said they wanted video only. If he had actually got on the team, I'm certain you wouldn't be.

And besdies that, the most recent video you and Sal did, the one where you were trying out the new Soaps or whatever shit... OOOH! Bench grinds! And... like, 5 or 6 mediocre grinds on rail. And that's what, 6 weeks old?

Sheesh... what must Heely be thinking

Jul 2, 2003 Tanner

You're right, you have been nice to me, and thank you. However, saying Mart never updates and doesn't have good video, just you wait, just you wait

Jul 2, 2003 Wesker

I never said he dosn't have good video. He can be the best soaper in the world for all I care. Won't change my opinion on him being a dick though.

Jul 3, 2003 Crossbuster

take that

Jul 3, 2003 alexei

fun.

Jul 3, 2003 Wesker

It makes sense otherwise where I do have a video and I do update. Take it how you want but I never commented on your skills.

Jul 3, 2003 Mart

And you thinking I'm a dick won't change the fact that you're crap

And why say 'at least I have a video and I update' if you weren't trying to burn me? It makes no sense otherwise

Jul 3, 2003 Mart

Also, I know plenty of people who have a problem with you. I'm just the only one tactless enough to bring the hate right to you

Jul 3, 2003 Crossbuster

Fine then I will! I kick ass woooooooooo

Jul 3, 2003 Mart

Yeah, and I don't have a site to update with video. Now can you see how your inital statement made no sense?

Sheesh... you seriously need to knuckle down in English class

Jul 3, 2003 Mart

There's no 'I' in 'team' Tanner... whatever happened to you being my afterburner?

Hehe, see what I did there? When you flame someone they bur... I'll get my coat

Jul 3, 2003 Mart

No-one's better than Fordy. Or Dunk. Or Daz with his forward porn, yo...

Jul 3, 2003 derek

My comment is really tiny!!! HAHAHA

Jul 3, 2003 Tanner

yeah, but there is a 'me' in team.

Jul 3, 2003 Wesker

Funny... What's this site?

http://mart.soapshoes.info/

Looks like somewhere you can update to.

Jul 3, 2003 Tanner

You're the only one who would bring the hate to anyone. Hate team.

Jul 4, 2003 fordy

fuck my arse are you

Jul 4, 2003 fordy

and if you hadn't noticed....soap team UK = UKFSW...?

Jul 4, 2003 Mart

Yeah, and does the 'I'm not finished yet' mean absolutely nothing to you?

The thing is, I want a respectible amount of media from numerous sessions before I upload it.

Also, how can I 'update' a site that's not even finished?

Jul 4, 2003 Mart

Yeah, but that's bad grammar

Jul 4, 2003 Mart

Buuuh-latantly

Jul 4, 2003 Wesker

That would be considered a site. Even though it is blank it is still a site. Adding pictures/video would be a simple task. But since you say you wanna wait till you have enough media then thats fine. I guess the site is not done the way you want it. But it's still a place to update since it is online.

Jul 4, 2003 Mart

No, it's not online. The media site is not online, the 'I'm not finshed' page is online. Why would I update that page with media intended for my site?

Jul 4, 2003 Mart

Also, a 'site' is defined as a collection of pages. I have one page, thus no 'site'

Jul 4, 2003 Wesker

Actually, It's one or more. You have one. Thus: site

Jul 4, 2003 Tanner

He's right Mart

Jul 4, 2003 Crossbuster

I am.

Jul 4, 2003 Tanner

ask me if I care

Jul 5, 2003 aaron

maybe i'm completely wrong... but does anyone else think maybe tanner's age had something to with him not making the team... usually being atleast 16 is a must for a person who is going to be putting on demos (ability to drive, at an age of influence over the younger preteen market, more respect overall, etc.)

Jul 5, 2003 Mart

Who says it's gonna be a Soap site, anyway? Just because Dunk's hosting me doesn't mean it's going to be a media site for me

Jul 5, 2003 dunk

Danny's ankles are screwed up from years of soaping. Dunno about Paul. Joey is working for Heelys now.

Jul 5, 2003 Mart

EJ Stacey, Dunk tells me, was 14 or 15 when oNe was released, so I dunno...

Jul 5, 2003 dunk

Marc... maybe you should hook up with us for our next session. Show us your skills.

Jul 5, 2003 Tanner

I never thought about that....

Jul 5, 2003 Mart

Ah well. I guess he has to be at some point

Jul 5, 2003 Jordan_Thompson

I think I have a spot on Team Soap. With hosting a "The Game Of Grind" and all, I've been talking on the phone and back and forth with emails to Soap. I was asked to make a video of me soaping, which I am working on. I submitted clips to them, and they are trusting me with a bunch of pairs of shoes. But if anyone deserves to be on Team Soap, it is Tanner or Greg. Both of them rip harder than anyone I know. So if I do end up on Team Soap, you can bet I will be mentioning there name a lot.

Jul 5, 2003 Tanner

Thanks bro

Jul 5, 2003 Tanner

Him giving the URL of a site that has some words and a black background saying its a site you can upload to, is just plain stupid

Jul 6, 2003 Mart

I totally hear you on the sibling thing... my bro's had his scabs for almost a year now, and his feet are, like, 3 inches apart when he frontsides

Jul 6, 2003 Mart

Heh, I don't think you could?

Rewatch DEOS5. This is why Alexei is on Team Soap and you're not. But Fillo should blatantly have offered his services... style and skill man

Jul 6, 2003 fordy

Yeah, if he wants to hit ipswich 3 or wherever, as long as mart just doesn't slag him off all day (ahahah) then it should be fun.

Jul 6, 2003 Crossbuster

I could possibly... I live in Cornwall so it would be hard for me to get up there (I'm pretty young) but I'd love too, the only other soaper down here is my brother and he is crap. Everyones going "oooooooooooh" "aaaaaaaahhhh" when I start grinding though, apart from that twat who told me they were BMX shoes and I shouldn't try to grind with them

Jul 6, 2003 Jordan_Thompson

No problem man, I think you and I could definetly dominate the USA FSW scene.

Jul 6, 2003 aaron

EJ Stacey and some other members of Relate weren't official members and whatnot... they just helped out and recieved free products... Bryndon, Ryan, Joey, Paul, etc... were the team...
Relate itself wasn't the team, just happened to contain Soap Team members

Jul 6, 2003 Crossbuster

but looking back now, I think you are joking/taking the piss lol. ah well.

Jul 6, 2003 Jordan_Thompson

Yeah, but I am not that much of a fan of DEOS. I liked Relates videos more. Tanner - Do you still have that pic of me doing a sidewalk down the 7 step at that church? It says it's on your website, but the link doesn't work...

Jul 7, 2003 fordy

UKFSW is where it's at...

Jul 7, 2003 Mart

I'm not debating whether you like them or not. Point of fact is they're leagues higher than you'll ever be

Jul 7, 2003 Mart

You'd better fucking believe it

Jul 7, 2003 Tanner

Fixed Jordan

Jul 7, 2003 Tanner

yeah, I'll find it next time I update (tomorrow)

Jul 8, 2003 derek

jordan, you should submit more pics to this site (i.e. that one of you on tanner's splash page.
