Ok, I just realized that soaping is going in the direction of rollerblading. The only big difference is that most (if not all.) of us do this purely for fun and enjoyment, while most professional rollerbladers well, it's their jobs. The main similarity is that both sports are underground, while more publicized sports take all the light. This is a pattern, the X-games started with rollerblading, rollerblading companies pretty much made the X-games. But rollerbladers had no reason to be there, they only had 3 grinds (frontside, backside, and soul) and the skateboarders and BMXers got pissed because rollerbladers had no reason being there, skateboarding and BMXing was there longer, they had more style, more moves, and they just blew rollerblading out of the water. But now, if you look at rollerblading, it's even more dangerous and stylish. But no one knows about it because skateboarding has shadowed out rollerblading. The soap shoes story is very much like that, because (as most of you know..) Soaps used to be huge, my brother did it, his friend did it, alot fo people liked to soap. Then as things went on, the owner thought the product would die out, and that's the reason it died out. He pulled the product out prematurely, and that's why it faded. Then Heely's jumped in, saw the energy in soaps, and they took it. Now soaps have gone underground, and we're trying to get it back, why? Because it's fun, and why let a good idea go to waste. I mean, I've only been soaping for about 9 months, and I'm already better than most inliners. But when you say shit like, "Fuck heely's, they're gay!" Your biting the hand that feeds, that's probably why we get these half assed products from Heely's. They're never going to waste money on us if we don't show respect. The express wasn't the greatest thing, but damn, it was enough to get a flame burning...
