SOAP SHOES TRANSLATION:

Grind on rails and Curbs, your plates will live longer....A LOT longer

Grind on ROUGH ledges and Rocky surfaces, you can kiss ur plates goodbye in a few weeks

But overall the plates are really durable...i mean REALLY durable....Except the UHF Originals, they wear down QUICK.....BBKS and slobros are really tough Cookies

To elaborate on the curb thing, It's best not to grind it if it is rough at all, for example, in the way that a street curb is. Curb Busters are the only grind plates even remotely available that won't be destroyed within a week.

It depends. Over here, brand new curbstones are as slick as anything, but they'll still wear your plates down because they're stone

Unless your shoes came with UHF Originals, you shouldn't have anything to worry about when it comes to grinding rough surfaces; as long as it's waxed up well, you'll be golden
