This is really sick and all, but they made Inline Skates for things like this.

right but you did secretly pine for these magical feet candies.

Soaps then yes.

LMAO....he's asian...lol

I agree with Renny on the asian part. Those guys are dedicated to anything they love.

Damn man. That's tight.

that skater guys is fucking awesome. i think he would like soaping also because of the grinding. that guys has mad ups also, if u watch the first jump after a few seconds.

Really guys, and i've had heelys before when i was in middle school, they are 'fun' in a quaint sense. That guy in the video, i don't see what's so "wow" about it. He learned how to keep in the heel position on curves and bowls. i have seen some (very rarely) heely people do some better stuff, but still, why do that with heelys and kill ur calf muscles (they burn like there's no tommarow when u do stuff like that) when you can get inline skates that can do that and more.

In my opinion, inliners can do probably the most impressive stuff around, followed by SOAPs, and Heely's can only do mild stuff (unless the stuff they do invovles the grind plate and is in fact more a SOAP thing). That's why I own a pair of inlines and a Pair of SOAPs. Wear SOAPs as shoes and hit rails when i see them (although i'm still not too good so i stil have some practice and fear to get over) and wear my inlines for doing really extreme stuff (again, once i'm good. I suck rather at both things lol, and never had much time to do much else, although with my new website business i'll be self employed and making good money so i may have more freetime to devote to SOAPs and inline).

But yeah, as for the vid, you kind of easily estounded. He only did heelying around bowls and ramps, the occassional top rail edge grind, and a rather lame "wall plant"

If you want to roll around, fine, get heelys, but i don't think heelys are for anyone who wants to go extreme, they are more so a kid's toy. You see parents saying "oh, a shoe that kids can wheel around, that would be a good gift for my little johny" and not "Oh, a SOAP shoe, you can jump up on high rails and grind down stair rails, that sounds dangerouos and extreme, but i bet my older son would love them"

Also let's face it, danger and how extreme something is go hand in hand. Heely's are NOT dangerous, SOAPs have that element which makes doing a successful grind so much more pleasing, and Inlines can be extremely dangerous and take a lot of practice and work, which is why these people can do such cool things that make people O.O

'nough said. This is my opinion.

Soaps will always be extreme due to the concept of grinding on handrails. Break down the rolling off blading and you got Soaps

Heelys cant be extreme due to the fact that its just rolling around. Break off the grinding factor off blading and you got Heelys.

In my personal opinion, Heelys are like rollerskates, not blades. You can dance with them, do cool spins and stuff. But to go big and xtreme, Soap is all for that. Relate, DEOS, UKFSW, and NYCS are living proof of that

whoops, yeah that's right lol

Screw that shit. I'd stick to buying soaps off ebay, I don't care. I hate those dumb ass shoes, it's not comfortable, and it's a disgrace.

It's okay Ramen, i woudln't either. i remember how rock hard the sole of the shoe was, my feet hurt. Although it does also kind of depend on the rubber used. My boltars rocked because they had this soft squishy rubber. The Express worked becuase they had an air bubble (despight the hard rubber), and the 'new' express also work becuase they have soft rubber (just no air bubble).

My cleans are a bit hard on the feet though, they have the same rock solid rubber all Heely's have to have (the soft rubber would cause problems as the wheel would be able to sink into the shoe). Express will always be comfertable, and most SOAPs.

Two things go into comfert, air bubble/soft rubber, and high arch support. All SOAPs have high arch support, most have either air bubble or soft rubber.

after looking at this video closely i noticed that it is in fact the same initial run w/ different camera angels, he does the exact same patter jumping at the exact same spots so it therefore it the same thin over and over again.

it reminds me of a wanna be inliner... oh and like you said, "Heelys are NOT dangerous"

well, when you give them a grindplate they are.

and like antho said too, that it doesn't flow, well it does with those spins and stuff and going into other stuff

lol
this is even more annoying than the heelys tutorial

...I wish I had some pairs of Heelys!.....and a double barrel shotgun.....I wouldn't have those Heelys for long.....

whoever is impressed by this video is too easily impressed

hey adamblock, i think i know why this reminded u of the power rangers movie, because Adam the blackranger was asian, and he wore the same clothing as the guy in the vid, exept the black button up shirt, lol

LMFAO man, that was pretty funny

I too am confused by this "flow". Someone explain.

Ryan, i think hes meaning "Flow" as even flow of tricks. Tricks one right after the other. Which I think is completely a mind thing. The only reason he thinks that is because he is on a wheel the whole time. It looks "smoother" to be on a wheel doing those weak tricks.

Yes i said it hate crew, WEAK tricks

oh look at the time, power rangers generations!.......yea this is so ghetto, i luv it......

i cant heel period, but i wanna try again, this senior at skool brung his and i tried, couldnt get balance

....no, heelys is alright man, i just hate wen people diss it cause they like soap,

I hope you see why most of us here don't like them now.

silly? I thought you said in one of the previous threads that heelys were cool?

I hate on Heelys because a lot of Heeler fags hate on Soap. If it weren't for that, i would just dislike HSL (what they are doing). But because of that, i dislike what they are doing, and i hate on Heelys


: )

I'm starting to think they did that on purpose.

Because if you look at some of the Artemis and In-stride Soaps, some DO have the same sole, but the uppers, and thread-patterns make it its own coolness, you know?

Look at the MB Tank, Scab, and Clean. Same sole, but different uppers and colors. Thats what seperated them.

The Ordnance, Vector, and Squeeky as well. Of course, there are MANY MANY MANY more.

The ONLY HSL-made Soap that i think stands out from all the other ones (and is drop-dead gorgeous) is the Scam. The scam is THE sexiest Released HSL-made Soapshoe

Oh, and antho i totally agree with you on the upper colors, and designs being on what totally seperated the different soap models

Scams look pretty cool. I'm still a 100%

XD I sorta get what you mean, but I'm more on the sylons. Sylons boltars and scabs :D

So....does that make Scabs and Prabas Sisters?

Oh, lol.
Man, I would kill to get a pair of...well, anything with replacable plates.

THANK YOU! Heelys are indeed dangerous.

Or into a car as what happened when that guy couldn't stop. Poor guy, first time on heelys was his last.
