.oO(Solid Grind - Soap Shoes Photos - Dario Nieva hittin a Fastslide)Oo.

Jul 12, 2003 Mart

Exhibit A: Why the guys from NYCS shouldn't be on the Soap team I mean... come on! Just look at that pic... you just know Dario's balance is all outta whack to be taking that fastslide right along the ledge

mart is smart (well, he's right about this anyway...)

Jul 12, 2003 Wesker

Ehh, The grind was fine, I did the whole ledge with no falling. My balance is just fine. I just like the way the picture came out.

Jul 13, 2003 Smokey

I think it just looks that way because of the camera being tilted. When I do fastslides (rare) I usually stand straight upright like he is in this pic...

Wearing Grails too.. the plates aren't so great for ledges.

Jul 13, 2003 Wesker

I like the plates on the grails, They're super fast. Why arn't they good for ledges? I havn't had any trouble with em on ledges. Only thing I did have trouble with the grails was doing benchs that are not connected and go in a circle. The rubber part in the middle of the plate stops me.

this is the truth. he is doing a weak grind on a CURB. SHANK YOU. SHANK YOU GOOD.

haha, you couldnt have put it any better mart!

Jul 13, 2003 XxgradexX

honestly, i cant get my mind around this, how the hell are you losers on the team?! (-mart) Im not just relating this back to myself, but everyone in general. You have nor the image (your crappy style and stupid ass grab) or talent to even come close to qulaifying. I did that exact trick on close to the exact same ledge in the mall 10min after i bought my first pair of soapshoes 3years ago. I wasnt even that pissed i didnt get word back from soap, becuase i honestly did care too much. but then i see this bullshit. -and what, turing the camera diagonally to take the shot will make you look cooler? fucking incredible.

Jul 13, 2003 jomomma193

It may be me, but I've hat trouble on ledges with the Grails. I always seem to start slipping... but then again, I almost never hit ledges. Perhaps I need more practice on them..

Jul 13, 2003 Mart

When it comes to hating on 'tards, you KNOW I can't refuse

Jul 13, 2003 alexei

so much hate, you guys must really not enjoy your lives.

Jul 13, 2003 dunk

The point is, jomomma193, that you DO slip. Hehe.

Jul 13, 2003 Mart

I guess you could say that. Although I can't speak for the other people here who share the opnion that this pic actually sucks. Tell you what, just to be fair, I'll send in some practice rail pics. Man, I want to be as cool as Dario and his curb o' death

Jul 13, 2003 SultinofSwitch

shut up mart, quit hatin, nice pic bro

Jul 13, 2003 SultinofSwitch

and honestly mart, and xxgradexx, yall both suck my right nut, i could own you both, i don't need a team to tell me that

Jul 13, 2003 aaron

i'm sure you could *claps hand wildly while somewhat laughing cause he didn't even check to see who xxgradexx is*

Jul 13, 2003 aaron

the only thing amazing about this photo is its clarity, or maybe its just because im using a nice screen... not sure

Jul 13, 2003 Wesker

What are you talking about? You say my balance is off yet I did the grind perfectly. I am not standing up straight in this picture, I am balanced over my foot and about to go into the grab of my back foot. I like the picture because of the way it came out (No not because the tilt you fool) But because of the motion blurs around myself (Looks better on the actual picture and when maximized more) I have shown this to many other people and they have said nothing but it being a nice pic. You guys however have to hate on everything. Oh and about the Soap team: It's true I didn't ask to be on the Soap team, But have you considered this? They...asked...me.

Jul 13, 2003 zeek309

i doubt they asked you to be on the team .... this picture is terrible and a very good example of what NOT to do.

Jul 13, 2003 Mart

He's not directly over his foot, thus his energy is concentrated on the inside of hit foot, so it's likely to slip out from underneath him. You should be either directly over or just in front of you foot for fastslides And... what kind of a sucky grab is that?

Jul 14, 2003 Mart

That may be, but you're gonna need media to prove it, fucktard

Jul 14, 2003 GreenBeret

hahaha this heated discussion is just down right funny.

Jul 16, 2003 zeek309

to prove what? that this picture sucks???....just fuckin' look at it!

Jul 17, 2003 hard_rocker_365

woah!!!!! photographer's last name "Licari" my las name "Licary"...... very trippy!!!!

Aug 31, 2003 Collin

Damn dudes most of you people here are a bunch of dicks yet do we see anyof your work up here? i know i know greg can talk as much shit as he wants but still,people dont gotta post their pics to your standards and maybe your just jealouse of dario maybe cuz hes good enough to be on the soap team and your still sitting at home flaming other people while your right hand is busy snapping...Great pic man

Broadway park?

Sep 16, 2006 Wesker

No idea, it's the park by my old high school (Aviation) so it's somewhere nears Queens blvd.

That ledge is amazing, theres another one thats a semi-circle 'cept last time we sessioned it, it was sandblasted so all the wax was gone and you couldn't get as fast on it, although that was years ago.

Used to have a really cool stair set but they capped it after we started grinding it :(

Sep 16, 2006 AnthoFlex

Next to Aviation? Thats next to my dads job.....Hmmmmm OH! i think i know what park ur talking about.....Its the one with those Rainbow loop sprinkler things right?
