grindklown writes, "alright, I was grindin' at ball state university, and I saw a couple of guys bladin'. I walked up to them and I asked if they cared if I hung out. They looked at me like an idiot and said, "We don't hang with fakes, if you don't have wheels under your feet, you're just a posing loser." I mean come on, talk about disrespect. My question is, are all bladers like that, or what?"

Bladers that have respect for soapers: Jon Thorpe, Sam Christiansen, Dunk Kenning, Aaron MacDonald, Tanner Gregory, myself - just to name a few. So to answer your question - no. I've chilled and tagged along SOAPING with bladers AND skaters before, who were really cool about it. If they're acting like that to you, then it just isn't worth your time to hang out with them. Better bladers are out there.
