SOAPing for beginners?
Apr 21, 2010 by SonicDaMan Alright, I just got my BBK grindplates today, so now I'm all set =) ...now I'm too chicken to even try SOAPing XD I have no experience with skateboards, so this is going to be hard for me. Does anyone have some advice so I can learn this without breaking my spine? Replies

If not, then use what's around you. When I was camping, I made a bow staff and found that it can double for a practice rail. It's about 7 feet long so it does okay, but it's not flat so it will wobble.
Also, a very helpful tip: Use whichever handedness you are. Like if you're right-handed, lead with your right foot first and vice-versa for left footed. You can do it however you want, but going by handedness would make it easier on you.
One more thing: Make sure to bend your knees. Bending your knees helps you maintain your balance. Put about 60% of your weight on your back foot so you have more control over what you're doing. It's ALL easier said than done, but as with everything; it comes with practice. Good luck!
