Old School Soap'n
Feb 17, 2007 by slipperysole

I've been piecing together a soap'n crew like I used to have back in the day.
We do, what we call extreme walking, where we walk across town and call out rails and benches, book it to them, and rip 'em up! It's been awesome!
The reason I'm posting is, most of our shoes are from back in the day, when soaps had just Cleans and Scabs,(at least thats all we knew) and basic plates,
But because they were basic, they challenged us more, to try new tricks and invent new ones, it was more like Soaping and less like skating.
I encourage people to not forget the originals, they are amazing, any one agree?

Hell yes. Cleans are still my favorite shoe ever.

Oh man, Cleans are by far the best looking soap ever, in my opinion. They have this original vans thing goin' on.

i have a pair of Scabs, one of my favorites i must say....but i rarely use them. Im actually thinking of giving them away....or selling them

The old shoes were kickass, but the original UHF plate was crappy. When my feet get bigger and I'm able to fit in a pair of Ords, no doubt I'm going to slap another plate on instead of the BBKs.
