Oh yeah... has anyone had this experience before too???

YEah I experience at school every once in a while.

I was limbo-ing (video on youtube) and the kid holding the stick was like ZOMG HE'S LIMBOING WITH SOAPS!

~JJ

This guy after school was walking with his girl, and he was walking sooooo slow, so me and my friend walked around him...at the end of the block i hear:

"Hey!, Soapshoes! Kid with the Soapshoes! (i honestly thought he was just gonna bother me until...) KID WITH THE SCORCHERS!

i immediatly turned around and asked "How do you know the name of these shoes?"

"The Scorhcers? Dude, i used to Soap waaaay back then, you know how to grind and stuff?"

"Yea, (pointing to my Soap shirt)"

"Kool, kool bro, keep it alive, ok?" and he walked off.....

When i thought about it.....they guy looked a LOT like Bryndon smith... i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt it was him though....but his girl...looked just like Bryndon's....

i dunno dude, it was a wierd day.

imma start an apademic with soaps

Bryndon Smith...

Probably was lol. I mean, with words like that it sounds like one of those epic movie moments when the kid's hero passes him and tells him something and walks off into the sunset.

~JJ

it actually haunted me for the rest of the day....i wishes i woulda asked him more questions

Antho...that's almost how my conversation went, when I found out, I was just blown away, I had NO IDEA!!! XD

I have had a few people ask me at Sk8 parks, but thats to be expected

Don't be hating on the Hi-Tops.

I get shit from people sometimes. I like how some people are very ignorant because they think Soaping is easy.

It isn't easy when you hit rubber. It's harder to grind with Soaps than skates... Well for me that is. You don't hit rubber with skates if you're using an anti-rocker or freestyle set up, you just hit the grind plate with some insane lock on and you grind much faster than with Soaps. Grinding with Soaps requires some mad precision and skill because you could hit rubber and because you don't get as massive lock on as you do with skates. Aggressive skates I mean...

Soaping and aggressive inline go hand-in-hand so ask any blader if soaping is easy and I'm sure you'll get one of two answers depending on what kind of person you ask. If they're a poser they'll diss Soap right out but if they're a regular inliner they'll tell you what you need to hear.

The vast majority of bladers will tell you that Soap shoes are weak because, by comparison, is is weak. However, Soaps are more about having fun than being serious, so the attitude between the two is different. At least, that's how it's supposed to be

I can see why they think they're toys, or weak. Cuz they don't got wheels, and no soleplate...well...anymore. But I think both are awesome...oh yeah...
Any more stories?

As a sk8r/Soaper, its my job to hate on bladers....but i can't, they do sick shit. The good ones at least

i cant hate, i soap, rollerblade, and skateboard

What's with all the hatin :c I wish people were more tolerant. I'm an aggressive skater and a soaper, and I take both seriously... Except skating relives more stress for me than soaping. Soaps are used when you don't have skates.. To me that is lol.

Why would it be your job to hate bladers, Renny? It's not like they've done anything to you unless you have some personal problem with one. That's like saying white people should hate black people. Maybe we'll all get along one day just like we all do now in America... Sorta. Lol I didn't mean to flame you or anything, I just wanted to say something about that.

In my opinion, the real atheletes respect the other atheletes, and the intolerant ones are lamers because they know they can't do what the other ones do. I respect everybody until I have a reason to disrespect them, and that's what I live by.

Because Renny skateboards and in skate culture wood-pushers and fruit-booters never did and never will see eye to eye, they always hate on each other. Nothing personal but it's something they all do.

I bet the bladers would say the same thing. XD

Just found out today while wearing my Express at school that yet another unsuspected Soaper has emerged. He was all

"Oh you got those shoes...Soap...I couldn't use them for crap."

this sucks no one knows about soaps in my town except me i guess i could stickerslap everywhere with soap stickers. any suggestions.

Yup, getting out there and getting interest is key. The best thing about SOAPs is that even if they decide they can't or aren't good at SOAPing, the shoes still are soooo comfy and aren't expensive, so it's incentive to get another pair anyways.

once my friend started grinding a stair at my school and my art teacher says are those soaps they are really dangerous and i like wow my art teacher knows abt soaps but all my teachers are under 25 so i guess they are closer to my age group than i thoink

Thats a bit off topic, I'll start a new thread.
