today i pulled a unity on some benches in a arena

Props!

One from a couple of weeks ago that was cool: after exams were over, I rearranged tables in the school's library and Soaped through the stacks. Someone even got a video...I've gotta find out if he still has it.

Eh...It's not a real soaping vid. It was done on a cell phone too, and they were only frontsides. But, it was a cool location.

Today, I did a wooden bench covered in snow. Slid about three feet in slush after coming off the grind--gonna have to go clean my Expresses now.

Rhinoskater!!!!! Welcome back, it's been a while.

We actually do have a new community now rhino, there's a bunch of new people. Only problem is that HSL pretty much has no grind shoes available, not even the heelyls.

But trying to keep this thread on track, I tried doing a porn on a pr on the weekend and ate shit.

Learning some sole tricks today...

It's starting to get warm :)

I wish I had somebody to soap with, everyone I know is too cool to soap.

Anyway, Jumped over a trashcan and slid an unpainted/unwaxed curb just walking down the street today. Felt like a badass.

Well, as soon as I was about to go soaping yesterday, guess what happens. It just started PISSING rain out and it hasn't stopped :( Stupid weather.

Ugh. Too much spambot activity. I plan on SOAPing with my friends on Friday night since I have the day off. Also gonna bring my gf, and see how well she does. I have 2 size 12's, a size 9 for my friend and a size 8 for my gf. I think those shoe sizes should cover most of all my friends. Except those who are unlucky enough to have size 10 feet. Haha.

Eh, if I can get someone to video me I might go out and get some footage. Turns out my brother has an HD camera o-o

Watching them grind, that is.

Haha, mad hops indeed.

And I wish I was getting snow here, it's just been rain, rain, rain.

Wait, where are you buying your shoes from?

Other than that, I can't wait for some fresh material. It's hard to say this, but oNe and tWo are starting to get old.

Meh. Well, my computer decided to die on me, yet again. This time, the BSoD messed with my registry files and I wasn't able to run ANY exe files. FML. Managed to find a fix though, so now I have my Firefox back and you guys again.

Oh, and last Friday was a washout. There was a school musical that most of my friends were either in or went to go watch. So we had 5 people or so there and with no footage.

Fortunately, we have the 26th planned. I made sure to give them heads up this time, and nature time to evaporate the flood that happened to fill the entire playground. 3" deep water is probably not good to go SOAPing in. Anyway, that's pretty much everything.

Bump. Also, today, in 12 hours, is the big day. I need to charge (and find first) my camera. We're going to go SOAPing for quite a while and have a huge party at the park. Lots of food and beverages shall be purchased and my wallet is already crying at the thought of it... Because I have a good feeling "nobody" will have money for food and drinks, therefore I will have to yet again pay for nearly everything. Oh well.

So there's two planned meeting times. First is noon, so anyone who has to leave later at night or whatever can go and SOAP with us. Then there's one at 4:30 where those who aren't morning type people can meet up later and then SOAP. It should work out, assuming it doesn't rain. Since the park is no longer flooded, everything is now accessible and grindable. I just ope people can bring cameras and such. If it doesn't rain and everyone who has SOAPs brings their shoes, there will be a lot of fun. And pain. But mostly fun.

Btw, can't waiiiiit for the vid(s) :D

Lol, my mom actually calls them soap shoes.

Woah, Brad, I'm guessing you live in Canada? I am surronded by Tim Hortons here in Buffalo.

Also, its great to see people still interested in soap.

Yeah, I live in canada. And yeah, the whole 8 of us on the face of the planet who still give a shit xD

There can never be too many Tim Hortons.

Well, I'm really pissed. Friday turned out to be a flop, half the people didn't even show up. Those who did wanted to do other things because it was too cold outside. So maybe a good 20 minutes of SOAPing. There's not even any footage of it.

On the bright side, I'm getting more used to my Broads now. I can grind a slide at the park that goes at a 45 degree angle then into a horizontal line. Yet, I can't grind a bench. Bah, probably needs waxing. Incidentally, this slide was my first ever attempt at a grind long ago and my first near injury then too.

Speaking of injuries, I managed to get a decently good one. I got road rash on my left knee and palm. Though the palm injury looks small, it goes deep. I'd upload them, but I don't know how that would bode for you guys.

In the meantime, I'm not getting much SOAPing in due to lack of my job making me work at nights and sleep days, and transportation. It takes 30 minutes to walk to the park and I'd have to get like 7 hours of sleep if I want to go SOAPing, play some Fallout 3, and get all my stuff ready for work. Bah, real life sucks.

Lmao, that's rough.

And too bad about the whole people not showing up thing, I was looking forward to that footage.

Lol, as long as it doesn't look like a huge wang.

Yeah man, I know what you're talking about. My brother apparently has some hardcore HD camera but refuses to use it until "it gets nicer out at summer." On the bright side though, that's when my bro and his friend intend to teach me how to free run since they've been doing it for a few years and then I can like, fuse free running and soaping. And maybe get them into soaping. It should make for an exciting summer break :P

I guess I'll just have to just myself a little harder then I guess ^^

Oh by the way... I'm going "manping" (man camping) with my friends. It's a guys only thing, so all our girlfriends (reluctantly) have to stay behind, NO EXCEPTIONS. I will probably be bringing my video camera with me so if you guys are interested, this will DEFINITELY be on Youtube. I know it's not SOAPing related, but I thought you guys might like to see who my friends and I are.. Before we all end up in the hospital from SOAPing. xD

So I finished my Manping trip about a week ago and got some footage until my batteries died. So yeah. If anyone's interested in watching it, I'll have it up in about a week. I'll give you all a link to it and you can see the clips that I filmed over most of the trip. I know it's not SOAPing related, but it's something that may entertain you.

On a different note: I had walked away from the trip with a bow staff. When I set it on the ground and stepped on it, my plates locked onto it and I realized that this doubles as my grinding rail. So now I have a weapon and a portable grinding rail. It's different grinding this compared to the stuff at the park, but it helps to have something on the ground if I mess up and fall.

Speaking of the park, I never got to get footage of it because of the lack of SOAPing mentioned above. However, I'll be doing a little filming of myself at the very least, since I own everything needed. I'll put that up on Youtube as well when the time comes and update you all on this thread. (Which I have bookmarked, and you all should too.)

Do it up.

My best guess would be either a hardware or a shoe store. I've never really looked for it :\

Then again there's always good 'ol eBay.

Well there yea go.

Always fun to see peoples expressions when you bust that shit out haha. Reminds me of this time I saw some little prick rolling around on his heelys and I busted out the sickest grind right in front of him. He asked me where to get a pair. I too laughed.

I wish I could do that, but my town is way too small for that, and there's no good places to grind (without Curb Busters). The park is usually empty, but since it's nearing Summer I suspect it will start picking up again. Hopefully then I can exploit my grinding badassness.
