Nov 8, 2004How I started with Soap ShoesI guess I should start with the first time I started Soaping. I was at my buddy, Hugh Hermes' New Years Eve party my Jr year of High School. He had some Soaps and a practice rail so I decided to give it a shot. I fell really hard but loved the feeling of grinding.Anyway, about 2 years later in October of 1999 I wanted more soap stuff, mainly new grindplates. I didn't have a credit card at the time so I sent an email to Soap asking for a catalog. This way I could order some products by writing a check. They didn't get back to me for a few weeks so I sent them another email, and then another, and another. Then I gave up. In February, I got a call on my cell phone from the CEO of the company, Chris Morris. I was super geeked when he called. "the CEO of Soap!?" So he apologized and said that my name had fallen to the bottom of this list, blah blah. Then he asked me what all I wanted to order. A week later I got my grindplates, a hat, a bunch of wax, and other swag in the mail for free. When I called him back to thank him we talked for a while. I showed him my Soap website and offered to do some web design for them. He denied me but offered me a job doing demos. A couple weeks later I recieved 15 pairs of shoes and a practice rail. From then on I did a lot more demos, started testing shoes before they hit the market, and became captain of the Soap team. I even got 5 other people on the team and redesigned a shoe. Tags: port byron, soap shoes CommentsLucky you!!!!! I need a pair of soap shoes but there is no store in my city that sells them.I might have to do the same thing you did because I don't have a credit card yet.
one question...Does soap shoes come with the wax,screws,and the grind plates? Because I don't have enough money to buy all that. I heard you had over forty pairs of soaps!! Can you give me a size 12? .....I'm just kidding,that was a joke!!! I wish I was on the soap team so I can get all those soap clothing and shoes.(haha) Do you know what store sells soap shoes in Jacksonville (soaps that are $70.00 or less.)? I have a pair of brand new, never used, original soap shoes: Oh my gosh! I can't believe that the famous "Derek Brooks" responded to me. then you should have a soap forum :P I wanr a pair of those A-sides...I hope they will release them I need help grinding my soap shoes because whenever I get on the rail,I only grind a few inches and then I stop sliding.My soaps are fresh and new.My soaps are called the Express.My grindplates are cemented on but one side is bigger than the other so I can't grind flat on the grindplate. Please tell me if my soap shoes are messed up or something. Hey bro...It's me Hugh...Hey I googled myself when I was bored at wook and I saw my name on you web site...I was just seeing how everything was going...Late okay karcsi, well I guess I better practice more i was needing to know where i can go online and find a place that finds local skate shop dealers or a place to get a free catalog. i cant skate anymore because of a few runnins with the law that messed up my kneecap. its messed up in tree diff. directions. so i was gonna get me some soaps but cant find any. get it at roller warehouse. they give out free catalogs there too. i can't grind on stairway rails.it is so hard. i can't jump up on it because it's too high. can anyone teach me how to grind on stairway rails? lol..greg im kidding..bend your knees! and use your arms for balance..thats what I do and when you grind Handrails-Dan- Dont start at the top jump further out to land on the middle of the hand railing then go from there and jump higher..w.e if ud like to ask me ask on AIM it would be easier.. :karcsi89 hey karcsi, i have the same problem as dan. Is it okay if I ask you on AIM too to do this?...pretty please? Yeah sure man! its a little late on my responce im sure uve looked at this site back n forth yeah my AIM is why thank you!!!! me 2! don't they have ones that look like sonic's from SA2B because in that game his shoes are soap shoes? hey derek i have been working on grinding this long rail about 30 feet and i can now do a front flip off of it, wonderin who i send my footage to? hey I first found out about soap shoes from sonic adventure 2 and I was wondering if you can get the same shoes that sonic or shadow wear in the game? Well first of all Shadow is wearing rollerblades. But Sonic is supposedly wearing the Scorchers in that game. They don't make them anymore but if you can get your hands on a pair they are great great shoes. They're super light and have great grindplates for rails. Sometimes you can get them on clearance or on ebay. I want some BADASS broadside soap!where can i order some? shadow doesnt wear rollerblades! he wears air shoes! tho u soap shoe people should make sonic and shadow model soap shoes I had scorchers they were freakin awesome. they don't quite look the same as sonics though, and to save you any let-down, grinding with shoes isn't quite as cool as it seems in the game. Definitley looking for a pair of broadsides... Where can i get size 12's cant find them ANYWHERE Im lookin for a pair of new size 11 soaps if anyone knows where to get'm IM me. thanks yall should check out my other site that is 100% dedicated to soap shoes. there's a forum for all your questions there. wer are some gd cheap soap shoes i jst carnt fine any HELP ME? i have looked all over the web and cant find one pair of soap grind shoes wiht a size 10 or 11 ....its ticking me off Seriously, someone needs to email me if they know where to get a pair of size 10 Scorchers, I need them before school starts again, thanks. lol Okay I'm Dying over here!!
