just a thought
Jun 10, 2007 by adamblock I was watching that "Heely's Can Flow" video, and in the description the video post-ee said that Heely's can flow. It sort of got me thinking: Can Soaps Flow? Obviously, everyone on this site would probably say yes. But consider some ideas before you jump to the gun. The Soap shoe is intended for grinding. And the people who participate in this site can grind well. However, its like all that we see. Which is good, because it is a grind shoe. But it doesn't really seem like Soaps and the Soapers flow very well. Take a look at some (well most. well, all) of the videos that have been posted, and you'll see a similarity between them. None of the people are flowing very well. It just seems like the soaper will jump onto the rail, incorporate a grind trick, and then patter off. Done...it seems sort of lacking.... I mean when i think of soap shoes, I think of Sonic, like everyone I'll bet. But not soley the grinding aspect of what he does. I think that the SOAP lifestyle should incorporate more themes of freestyle walking/Parkour. We should be able to incorporate the landscape, and then focusing on the rails as well, but not just hitting up the rail over and over. Like, combo tricks, like in the Tony Hawk games! (ya know, collect the C-O-M-B-O letters? Ahh, nostalgia) Well, whatever. I just wanted to get that out in the open. Feel free to agree, disagree, flame, hate, whatever. Just don't fuckin' argue with everyone, because that's what everyone seems to do on this site. lol. Replies

If you ever get your paws on oNe or tWo, it will probably make you wanna have sex with Soapshoes.
But since its VERY unlikely to get copies of those videos, just check out some of the old Holiday, Shag This, and Soap Slide videos

But that is why I have added a lot of Parkour into my soaping and the overall result is usually unique and has a LOT of flow.
I'll try and record some examples today and I'll post them up tonight hopefully.

Seeing as Parkour/Free Running uses pretty much any type of obstacle you can come across (even trees) it is a lot easier to find places to do it.
On the other hand, if you learn Parkour your precision and hieght of jumps will become a lot better. And this rises confidence when jumping on to all types of rails.
An example of this is one time when I hadn't Soaped for a few weeks but I had been doing a lot of Parkour. I cam across this 8 stair vert rail that I had never been able to jump on because it is in such an awkward place (hard to explain how it is awkward).
I had vaulted on a few times but never jumped on so I took a few secs to catch my breath and get ready and I done it perfect, then I done it another 3-4 times before I kept going to where I was going.

I would like to be the first to say that there isnt really a "flow" in Heelys either. Soaps doesnt have a "flow"
What soaps DOES have are lines. Like Blading, and Sk8ing.
Lines are a series of tricks in one run.
