The Soap Revolution
Oct 20, 2006 by matrix8967 In the past 72 hours...Soap has hit my friends in the face like a sock full of batteries. About 9 people in my town have bought soaps (mainly from Steve {go2crew}) and I'm buying some for me and my girlfriend, and some of my friends...(friends will pay me back, my girlfriend gets them for free) Soon we will shoot some videos and take some pics. However, we need a name...I think our tag will be "Viva La Soap!" but we need a name...my friend jokingly said we should be called "suds" but anyway, if you have any ideas Our group is still being formed...and if we don't let people in, they'll try to make thier own groups...also, after one night, they think they know everything about soap...they don't even know who founded it, or how it was founded or anything... d@_@b ...anyway just leave some comments about how you think this is going to work out...I'll have all members sign up for solidgrind... also, maybe if we take some video, we could be a sub-branch of the SSS...but that's NOT for ME to decide, it's just an idea I'm throwing out... Anyway, comment and tell me how you think it'll work out... ---Alex Replies

I want to do the exact same thing. But I'm in maryland so as far as I know I am a one man band.
Soaps need to have props. There needs to be people to show "hey, see these babies.. we can go anywhere. ANYWHERE."
Those "no skatboarding/blading/bmx" signs can't stop us.. hahahaha. Oh yeah.. may freewalking be reborn again fellow soapers!
A good team soaping name would be S.U.D.S "Soapers United Demostration Squad." Or something like that.. just popping ideas

Hmmm I think that with the right moves and a bit of inventiveness, reviving soap shoes shouldn't be too hard. Its time for freerunning 2.0
Oct 22, 2006matrix8967
The Revolution is growing...more organization is happening...we should hit the town in 2-3 weeks...but we still need a name...I'll enter them in and we'll take a vote...also, what do you think about my tests? I think it's a good idea, what do you guys think? because i don't want some hot-shot douche bag on my team, I want them to know thier stuff and not be ignorant to the shoes history and etc...
---Alex
Oct 22, 2006SapAuthor
Matrix, i dont think a atest would be very fun. I would base it on skill, even I don't know every shoe (although i'm getting better at seeing a soap shoe and saying "That's a Goa with BBK plates" or "those are cleans" etc. But it's hard to know all of them. If they can soap and want to improve and get better, then i say that should be the leading thing.
Oct 22, 2006matrix8967
Now, the point of that rant was: I don't want douche bags in my group...and I don't want to just let people in...so they have to really want it to be in...but I see what you're saying SapAuthor, because that was the original Idea was to let anyone in...then people started wanting to be in it like mad...and we can't let them all in...so I had to have some sort of filter...If they want to start thier own groups, thats cool...but I uno...we'll see...maybe just a trick/skill test...if they pass thier in...maybe I'll have ranks?? but I just want the original 5 members for now...we'll hold try-outs later...

I really like the logo. Maybe the fist should be a bit bigger, though. And then have the neon glow around the soap logo too. Just a thought.
I'm gonna go TRY to get on facebook now, we'll see how things work out.
Had lots of fun soapin' today. See you tomorrow.

yeah, Jard already said he has a team called revolution. but I think he's thinking more along the lines of like...spinning...like hard drive platters or a vinyl record. or atleast I'd like to think so. I'm talking more of a bringing soap back. my "vision" so to speak is have all the kids at my school go "oh yeah, soaps, i know what those are" and so far, it's working. I want it to spread to other places.
blah blah blah, I'm rambling, anyway, keep the revolution alive.

But anyway, this is not a geek forum lol, so onto soaping details! Renny, I think you would win first place no problem using the broadsides at a talent show. Heck, I'd take the day off from school to see ya in action man. One school to another, so I don't think it'd be that big a deal lol. I wonder though, what moves would you plan on doing?

if you wanna see them, let me know, it's just a curb, but it's a good start considering it was improvised and just "hey, lets take some soap pics"

my practice rail is an 8 foot long balance beam for kids at an old playground. so it has what I call "oh shit handles" so if you fall, you can catch urself. it's the perfect rail for beginners. i'll try to get a pic of it soon. and when I get the time, i'm gonna try that rail...but i want to do it when no one is around, and it's kinda hard to find that place when no one is around...cuz if i bust my arse, i'd prefer not to be laughed at...but it might just come down to embarrassment in order to get it.
