Y'know, I still haven't had the time to go out soapin' yet. The weather just won't let me.
One of my friends has bought himself a pair o' soaps, but at the moment we're too busy to meet up (I work 4 evenings a week, and have college 3 days a week. leaving me with 1 day to relax, but my friend usually works on that very day), and my other friend keeps delaying his purchasing of soaps. I found Ringwood's old train track (not much is left) so I'm gonna practice 'n' stuff on that, but i dare'nt go alone.
If I didn't have college, and my procrastinateing friend would just join me, then I'd be grinding everything in site every freakin' day.....
So hows you guys doin'?^^

I got a bit of practice on Friday, so I can kinda grind a bench, but rails are COMPLETELY different. I thought I was grinding nice and smoothly on the bench, but on the rail it's like sliding on oil. There's barely any friction (with my Expresses anyway) and one of my friends hurt his ankle pretty badly while practicing.
So I guess you may want to wear a helmet doing rails, as those are very dangerous compared to something that has a lot of friction on it.

And yeah, I found out about rails the hard way. When I first got my soaps, I was a bit cocky (as I'm sure a lot of us were)and slid a rail that looked a lot like this one http://www.solidgrind.com/photos/soap-shoes/245/ but it was red and didn't have that little drop at the kink. I was ok at first but then found out they go way faster than they look.

@Ted: I've gotta caution you, and anyone else thinking about buying Broadsides from Renny. In a word, DON'T GO NEAR HIM. The ones he sold me were total pieces of shit; completely unwearable pieces of junk, and he never gave any inkling of the fact that they had CRACKED PLATES and DRY-ROTTED SOLES in his eBay description. I had to go through hell to get him to even SHIP the damn things (he MADE me give him positive feedback before he would even ship), and now he's refusing to exchange them or refund me, even though it's clear misrepresentation on his part and he KNEW that they weren't wearable or useable.
He screwed me over good, and there's no reason he won't do the same to you. We all want Broadsides (MYSELF TOTALLY INCLUDED), but he knows this and is trying to manipulate us by taking our money for shoes that are total pieces of shit. Mine LITERALLY FELL APART the first time I wore them, and there's no reason to expect anything else he sells to be any better quality, no matter what he might say in the description.
Long story short, DON'T BUY FROM RENNY! HE WILL SCREW YOU OVER!
