Pretending ledges/curbs are rails

I'm basically the only freeskier at my school and when I'm psyched for ski season I tend to hop on curbs/ledges and pretend they're rails. I'm not the only one who does this, right?

You can't call yourself a free skier if you don't do it every time possible

I do this all most all the time. I know how you feel about being the only free skier at your school. Almost everybody at my school is a gaper or has a hate for skiing/boarding.

Soap shoes baby. My friends and I were rollerbladers so in between class and on lunch we would have little mock sessions around campus.

Inb4 under 15 and never saw the 90s.


I remember a couple times people showing up to the skatepark in soaps. Getting in the way trying to grind the down ledge between box jumps. IT was horrible. That said I wanted a pair when I was like 8.

^ When it was like "THE YEAR IS 1999" I died!

Awesome find. Really didn't know it was still around. I definitely didn't know they were still making them.

I thought the blading community went underground but this shit must have been hiding in some hobbit hole in middle earth. I don't even think I've heard the word soap in the present outside of getting fresh and clean and shitty daytime television. Soaps as shown in thread are said as a nostalgic look at random trends past.

I might make my snowboard boots into soaps so I can kill it in the park in between raking and get all the girls.
