Hey
Mar 29, 2007 by Slider388

Hey everyone,
I came across this place today and signed up just now.
I noticed some guys here were Alex's. Count me in. Oh yeah, I'm 13. I only started soaping about 3 weeks ago and am a massive newb. I'm not that bad, but I have a lot of room for improvment. I do mostly benches and bleachers with the occasional rail. I'm american, but live in the united arab emirates. No rails here, sucks. Can't even get soaps, i ordered my expresses from steve. Thanks man. oh and yeah I can almost only do front foot first grinds. What soap/wax do you all use?
Heelys are prett cool, but not really my style.
Meh. Time for another random change of subject. Well yeah school does suck, but teachers here are cool about it. My friends this soaping rules, although there are always bitchy guys who say its gay. High schoolers think it's pretty fuckin awesome, most of them used to soap before in stride and hsl bought soap, and greeted me with a "fuck yeah man, soaps rules. Hey guys, check this out! We got a guy who has soaps in this school after all."
Well, happy soaping, don't bail as much as I do, and have shitloads of fun.

welcome aboard fellow Alex. United Arab Emirates...sounds cool. I live in BF Arkansas...It's nice to see some younger faces here. (hook'em while their young!) I was about ur age when I started soaping. I'm 17 now, about to be 18. college bound. etc. it sticks with you. you'll probably look back on it later in life and pick up ur soaps again.

heh
It's funny that my nickname is slider388, for some reason I'ver been using that for about 5 years before I ever heard of soaping, and I wasn't skateboarding either.

Mar 30, 2007Slider388

Thanks all.
What kinda soap do yall use? What kinda wax?

Mar 30, 2007pepsi

boltars :)

i just use candle wax ;x...can be bothered getting the proper wax.

Mar 30, 2007JeiHeirumaru

I don't use wax.I Just SOAP natural,dude

Mar 30, 2007JeiHeirumaru

And I got a pair of navy Scabs

Mar 30, 2007Slider388

ok...
I've just been natural, but I'd like to know what I can use to make some of those dry unpainted wood benches soap well.

Mar 30, 2007pepsi

heh, wax would work probably :P

Mar 30, 2007Surfaced

There's nothing wrong about using wax... infact, if anything, not using wax is a worse decision because your plates will wear down faster, and the replacements are getting harder to find now in 9-10 and 11-12.

Mar 30, 2007Slider388

so just standard candle wax is what I need?

Mar 30, 2007pepsi

yeah, standard candle wax works good for me

Mar 30, 2007Slider388

sick man!
Thanks to all of you for the help!

Mar 30, 2007sam

welcome to the family dude

Mar 30, 2007rhinoskater30

GREAT SUCCESS!!!

Mar 31, 2007RamenRadio

Sam makes the best soaper's wax EVER Ordinary candle wax is OKAY, but if you really want to grind on the fast side, go with sam's wax :D I'd know, I'm beta testing this wax, and I couldn't love it more!

Mar 31, 2007Slider388

Lol I'd be happy to buy some if you can ship it internationally.

Mar 31, 2007Surfaced

Sounds interesting. How thick is the wax, and how much do we get for out money?

Mar 31, 2007Surfaced

our money*

Mar 31, 2007AnthoFlex

i think i'll stick to Dario's Sonic wax

Mar 31, 2007rhinoskater30

I found a stick of wax called Ledge Butta.
There slogan is "Butta that Ledge Son!!!
Pretty good stuff...
Pretty good times

Mar 31, 2007matrix8967
