YAY FOR ME!
Dec 16, 2006 by SSAndroid

hi all, i just got a brand new pair of goa soaps mist colored (black with grey)

i am really new to the soap scene, and these are my first soaps, and i was wondering, even tho this is a mega noob question, how exactly a beginner should start soaping, like stances and stuff

i heard that ur supposed to put ur back foot on first, but it just way easier for me to put my front foot on first and i dunno, i guess i just need practice

also, i skateboard with my left foot forward, regular, (im not very good at all) but wakeboard, snowboard, kick, and slolemn (sp?) ski all with my right foot forward, goofy. so i assumed i should put my right foot forward but was not entirely sure because my right leg is stronger.

so could any of u please help me?

If its easier for you to go front-foot first, then do that.

Everyone here will suggest that you get a practice rail or PVC pipe to start out with.

Start out doing basic frontsides, and once you have mastered that (being able to do it switch, do a 360 at the end, etc) move on to a more difficult trick.

Trevor (SapAuthor) runs a website with a Soap tricktionary. He or Renny (AnthoFlex) might be kind enough to give you a link so that you can see a complete list of every popular trick that is performable on grinding shoes.

If you want to get really good at soaping you'll eventually have to plant both feet on about the same time, the backfoot first really helps alot in keeping stable. I had my lead foot issues when I started cause it was more comfortable. Then I progressed unto this "sailing" where I jump and the shoes just land like an airplane the rear landing first followed by the front
