I'm an aspiring voice actor who will be heard in the BlackDevilX flash series Final Fantasy Sonic X as the evil Professor Kain. I listen mostly to rock and play lots of video games, mostly Sonic, Super Smash Bros., and Tony Hawk.

I'm a serious VidGamer,I like ta' Rip on my RipStik(waveboard),watch TV,etc,etc....the list goes on and on,and on....so I don't wanna bore you guys

Learning guitar. Watch a little TV. Play many different sports, not really dominant in one, but better in golf and basketball. Of course Soaping is good, I also like to skateboard occasionally and inline, but I haven't inlined in a while since I've out grown my skates. Video games are cool, I always enjoy the new Sonic the Hedgehog, and own all of the Tony Hawk games. I also LOVE Jet Grind Radio and Jet Set Radio Future.
I listen to all kinds of music except for country and that really, really, really hardcore rock stuff.

Oh I forgot something huge! I am a supporter of pit bulls and anti breed specific legislation. I own 2 pit bulls and they are the nicest dogs you will ever meet. IT sadens me when I see states that outlaw pit bulls.

***i dont think i have a life outside of that. (first paragraph correction)

Me and AJ say that he's pretty much pro

I'm also Straight Edge!! I've been drug/alcohol/substance free my whole life. I've been calling myself straght edge since I was 15 almost 10 years ago.

Holy shit man, I can't even laugh at that. That's just.... disgusting.... I know I pretty much do the same with soap shoes, but crap, at least I can enjoy what I have.... That's just, creepy lol (I was referring to Dave's Link)

i skateboard, snow board, and dirt bike. I listen to hard rock. And i like cars and bikes.

Dude, how is that disgusting? And how can't you enjoy sunglasses? I think, to a lot of people, collecting Soap shoes would be a whole lot less dignified than collecting vast quantities of very expensive and stylish eyewear

So what? Some people put shoes in display cases. Could it be that this guy is perhaps a little different from you and would prefer to collect sunglasses than shoes? Back up a step man, stop ragging on people for having different interests

I just don't see the importance in two thousand dollar sunglasses when I have transition lenses.

im with you trav

and so what if you got bashed in elementary school. That was what? like 10 years ago? YOu gotta stop living in the past dude.

Bump up for the newer people. Please tell us about yourself.

sword collecting huh? sick man. I wish I could do that, but I'm only collecting vinyl at the moment XD

this is a neat thread...

I do a lot of modding to video games (GTA games, any game running on an Unreal/Quake engine, battlefront...so much more...) if you don't really know what i'm talking about it's kinda like this

I play the game, and I see something I don't like...I'm picky so I hack into the game and change what I don't like to what I do like and then *bam* I'm satisfied.

Also I do a lot with console emulation. so my pc can play the following systems: NES, SNES, Gameboy/color/advance, N64, Playstation 1, (soon ps2), sega geneses...and...i think there's more but i probably don't use them...

I do a lot with computers basically. PC repair, diagnostics, small time networking etc. I don't do programming but I'm learning more and more html so I can make a website. (which will of course link to here, the soap myspace, etc.)

I am about to go into college for a degree in CIS (computer information systems)

My music taste varies...anything really besides country or religious music. not because I hate them, but i have yet to hear any that I like...

been soapin for a looong time but took a few year hiatus and when i came back soap was kinda "under" @_@

i can't really think of anything else interesting...

Wow, Alex it sounds like you might have been the person that made the soap shoes game lol

thanks for the advice jeremiah. I have lots of experience and i'm going to get A+ certified, Linux certified, and cisco networking certified all this year. that's a lot of money for tests, but i get discounts for going to college (not ITT tech)

as for a soap shoes game...i dunno...i'm not so good at developing games, just modding and scripting...here's an example THAT I DID NOT CREATE!!!! my mods are NOT this good. (which is why i don't release a lot of them, because by the time i do, someone's already made a better one.)

again, this was done by a modder named creative madman.

not the coolest GTA character (not what i want):

The coolest GTA Character (what i want):

The end result (satisfaction thanks to creative madman for making this.):
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/matrix8967/claudeSA.jpg

awesome huh? i also put in a camaro like the one in transformers the other day...but again, i didn't make that. not to say i don't know how to make PARTS of that. all creative madman did was take the original GTAIII claude speed head and put it on cj's body. the part i don't know how to do is color him to have the skin tones match, i'm no artist. creative madman is currently working on making this better and giving claude (gtaIII guy) all the haircut styles and stuff. kudos to him.

anyway, that's a more specific run down...here's the forum post from where that model (shown above) came from...

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?s=fd22be247c471c4bdeae215c1b4f2d53&showtopic=243092&st=0

it's kinda boring unless you know what they're talking about though...

hehehehehehehehehehehe

Well, I was a bounty hunter way back in Nashville. I SOAP. Im a one man band just finishing my 4th album. I play video games alot, and Im currently in the works of bringing SOAP back.

o rly?

hmmm, I wouldn't know anything about it. Sorry man. Wish you were coming to NY!

Hi! This is Pedro (Spanish for Peter, but everybody calls me Peter or Pete here!) I'm now 24 and working as a Graphic Designer, I knew firs time about SOAP like hundreds of years ago (Like 8 or 9) but back when I was a crazy kid on rollerblades I could not afford them.

Now that I can, and that's been long since last time I rolled I decided to get a pair of SOAPS. They came algong like 5 days ago and I'm still trying to reach inside my mind (and limbs1) the correct way to grind.

I'm a huge Blizzard games player (StarCraft, Warcraft, WoW, Diablo II, just lov'em!) quite a movie maniac and a Heavy Metal and Rock listener (I still listen a lot of HipHop from my early rollerblading age.)

So! Nice to meet ya all, and if you're planin' on a trip to Spain, be sure to visit Madrid and do some soapin' out there!

It's good to know I am not the only one here in their 20s.

it's not often I post on here these days but you'll find me working behind the scenes to keep SolidGrind spam free.

Age 22.
Job... graphic designer and film maker, keeping me crazily busy
Car: Jeep Wrangler
Pairs of soaps... too many to count... none of that HSL crap though plus Bizos and Salomon grind shoes.
Involvement in Soap Shoes...
Founder of UKFSW and ukfsw.com, sponsored back in the day by Soap Shoes UK, owner of soapshoes.info.. which, incidentally, absolutely does not represent my graphic design skills ;)

Who're UKFSW? look here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNM2WxhTNFQ#GU5U2spHI_4

I rarely soap these days but hats off to everyone keeping it alive... sssoapshop, steve/Go2Crew and everyone buying the shoes.

We have literally hours and hours of UKFSW footage that has never seen the light of day. Getting the time to go through it all and edit it is impossible right now and will be a long long job!

Age:20 [female]

Currently unemployed. Me and BLUSH spend most of our time soaping, lurking online, and playing video games. I use to play WoW, but after lvl 70 I got tired of it. I was spending a lot of time raiding.
I draw, photograph, and make art for the band Button*Masher.
Umm... I drive a Honda Accord.
I was going to college for multimedia and programming but I had to drop out because I was having trouble maintaining my job [kept falling alseep at work]. I plan on going back.

We travel a lot and go to anime conventions. So maybe sometime we can meet some other soapers while we are in town and you guys can show us some good rails, eh?

Great to see a female soaper on here! We need more diversety around here.

Your just used to the sausage fest and want to get up on the chicky. Quit kissing ass. Go out and do something and actually look for a girl.

How does that mean I admit I am the same people dude? What the hell man. And how am I hacking into everyones account?

Youre the only one with a problem RamenRadio.

I didn't even say anything towards you so why are you freaking out. I didn't even say anything bad towards her. I told him to quit looking for chicks online and go out and get one ass hole.

Nathanael we would love to travel out of the country to that convention and soap with you!

Maybe in 09' tho. We already are booked for the year. We have to plan ahead for some of the conventions out here [like Otakon] because the hotels fill up fast.

Its good to be a part of SolidGrind too. I hope to learn more here. BLUSH was into SOAP's way before me.
Can't wait to find more stuff to grind as well. Not a whole lot of good rails here in Louisville.

I forgot about this thread, I remember when I used to listen to rap when I posted lol

lol, yeah I saw your post after saying you didn't live there. Oops.

So you go to any other conventions??

Hello fellow Scoot-boot enthusiasts.
I'm Frankie the 20 year old male humanoid!
I thought soaps were cool about 8 years ago but was too busy skateboarding to be interested. I just recently saw "Holiday" for the first time and got a sort of nostalgia for back when it was cool to have a spiked/frosted fade, cargo shorts, wallet chain a Volcom shirt. (None of witch I ever had. I was not cool.) Long story short I got a pair of expresses about a month ago and have been having a blast grinding all the rails I never could on my skateboard. (and hurting myself in the process.)

Who Am I?:
I like music and vinyl records and play guitar in an oldschool hardcore band. I run a teeny tiny skateboard business out of my basement. I idly collect old video games and actively collect/play magic the gathering. (I used to compete at tournament level :P) I've always been a fan of "Marginal extreme Disciplines" so quickly becoming obsessed with SOAPS comes as no surprise to me.

It's a lot of fun, but it's getting expensive, so I'm kinda out of the loop on the last couple of blocks. After Ravnica I started getting a little discouraged on getting new stuff too. I'm mostly just trying to slowly get my collection into playsets (4 of each) and sell the rest off. Seven+ shoeboxes is getting to be a pain to carry around.

I'm a 17 year-old who wants to try out SOAPs in a failing attempt to save his childhood

I'm Kain, a misunderstood emo kid. I play some video games, watch some TV, play the guitar and skate. That's basically it. I spend a lot of my time on heelychat and solidgrind when the weather's not right for either. I listen to Nightwish, Evanescence, and Linkin Park most of the time. I also like discussing philosophy and science, or helping ppl with their problems. That, or, I find something violent to do to clear my mind like slashing the hell out of a tree with my combat knife. When I have absolutely nothing else to do, I like to be extremely emotional/dramatic about things and find ways to blame the world for my problems.....(but no, I don't cut myself :P)

I now have my first pair of SOAPs. I can't get the hang of it yet, and I landed on my ass. Good start, huh?

Yeah, he busted his ass, got up and happily put a patent on it.

lol. I've almost busted my balls on a handrail, and I broke my ribs a few days later on the same one. Nothing more than that though, except some skinned knees.

Silver,
if you've ever bladed, you've probably taken worse falls than that lol.

lol yeah, b/c you can bail out of the grind and land on your feet easier than anything else. That's why soaping rules =D

I always fell and died and sucked at blading. I think one day I put some guys blades on when we were skating and learned to go, and jump and shit. I then tried to grind on a curb.
Epic fail.

I think that is why I prefer skateboarding and soaping over blades or snowboarding. I like the idea or being able to bail and land on my feet.

If I could afford to buy a pair of blades I would love to at least try them. But unfortunately I go through so many decks and shoes with just skateboarding that I can't afford much else.

Hmmm, I suppose that would be good if you just rode around. I don't know how well that would work out if where to do tricks.

I wish it would stop raining so I could go skate.

I've allways just carried my board everywhere. All my shirts are full of holes on the bottom right side from griptape.

I have a garage with a grind rail too, so I guess I have no right to complain.

Revengasaur,
Well......I have a rail, but it's a tiny practice rail =(

Jerimiah,
so get a rail from the internet lol. Or go downtown somewhere and look for rails.

Bump up for all the new people.

Age: 25
Occupation: Jewelry Handcrafting, Apprentice level.
Hobbies: Goldfish Keeping, Drawing, Drumming, Jewelry Design, Gaming, Internet Surfing, Reading, Music.

What else to say... I'm a weirdo but I know I ain't the only one that is. My main language is French. I have learned to speak fluent english throughout my years of schooling. I plan on going on a learning/humanity trip to Africa for a month in 2009 and learn their ways of jewelry handcraft.

And thanks for the warm welcome, Altman!

Im' Jonathan, 22 years old dude from Joliette, Quebec in Canada (45 Minutes from Montreal)

Some call me Doc, others call me Jiggy... I used to be an aggressive blader but didn't had much success... Same on skateboarding lmao!!!

But i found heely's... To make me start in the world of shoe grinding... But looking forward to buy a pair of soaps to keep the heely's for the winter (Not using the wheel very much)

I'm a French Rap Artist launching Demo + Mixtape + Album at the end of summer or beginning of winter, depends on the financial side...

I enjoy all sports but im' a big hockey fan! SHAME ON PHILADELPHIA FLYERS!!! YOU LUCKY BTARDS!! :P.

Still looking forward to go back to study to get my diploma to be an informatician... Ima also do everything to build my own studio next year!

eh......I'm not into hockey

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!

I guess Dario likes the Ducks, or he's going for a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! As much as they suck, I'm always rooting for my New York Islanders. As far as NCAA Hockey goes, the Boston Eagles are my pick. Wait two years and you'll see my cousin as a part of their star line-up. Kid's name is K.J. Tiefenwerth, keep an eye out for him.

Actually I was making a joking reference to "The Mighty Ducks" movies.

As for real Hockey, I used to play it as a kid but I don't really like watching any sports and don't really have a favorite team. Although when I was younger (again) my dentist asked me who my favorite team was and I told him it was the Devils (Probably because I thought the team name was cool and it'd probably rile him up that I liked a NJ team over a NY team especially how well the Rangers were doing around the time '93 '94 I think?)

While I don't like watching sports (On TV), I like going to sporting events/games and the only time I've seen a professional Hockey team play was at a Rangers game.
