haha, this is exactly why soaping is more convenient than skating.

...and exactly why some people think Soaping is weak

I think there needs to be two galleries on this site; a 'fun' gallery for snapshots like this and another for decent shots of decent grinds on decent obstacles. And before anyone gets started, I'm not ragging on this picture; the dude is clearly having fun and I have no problem with that, but I think there needs to be a clearer distinction between submissions that show the fun side of Soaping (this photo), and others where technical ability and the composition of the shot are of greater importance (Relate, UKFSW, BiS crew photos, for example)

When i read the ...and exactly why some people think Soaping is weak i was like "Oh, shut up Mart..." But then i read more....And....i actually gotta agree....two galleries will separate the funny, from the Sick

But this kid is cool though. Hes improvising (i hope i used that correctly)
Nice Ordnance though

And for the record....Soaping isnt weak (not aimed at you Mart, thats aimed at all the people who think its weak)

The Relate videos oNe and tWo are living proof that Soaping isnt weak

Even though its an easy trick, I still like this picture. Everything is lit up and, I dunno, something about it just looks cool.

And I dunno about this two gallery idea. I think it would be good enough to just not post any shit pictures anymore.

I've done that before, haha its soo fun to do that

Hmmm, that gives me an idea of what todo when I go bowling again. I agree with Mart. We need a fun gallery and a sick gallery.

would be cool to grind the side of the thing that gives you the balls back...oh wait is that rubber?

I really have to give you credit for this Sam :D

The ledges at my bowling alley are too small to grind on but the ledges at the cafe aren't. :D

I think it's the perfect pic for Soap advertising, anyone can Soap, anywhere.

i should do this at my bowling alley. the bowling alley ledges are just as high as this aj.

i uno...it's just sorta...plain. it doesn't even look like his right foot is grinding. I think it would've been better if it where at a different angle.

I like the way this came out personally, but more or less the point of this was really to show people the convience of soaping.

Honestly Soaping at a bowling alley to me is sort of weak when you're planning it as a session. It's just not something I'd do, plus the fact that I hate bowling and bowling alleys and all the numbers add up.

aj you should reconsider that if it wasnt for the bowlimg ally we would have no bike rack to practice on like last night how now i can hit the top of the rack

Jun 9, 2007 Page645
