Cess with Soaps?
Jul 1, 2003 by derek

savestheday writes, "i remember when whoever it was first put up a pic of the new soaps that everyone noticed the coloured side pieces and was arguing whether those were for sliding...well i was looking at soapshoes.com on that little bar of pictures that moves. and theres one picture that really looks like a guy is cessing but maybe im just blind, whats the deal with this?"

derek adds: You can definitely Cess with Soaps, but the little rubber bars you are talking about are more for braking on extremely torqued grinds. If you've seen any of the big soap videos (i.e. oNe, tWo, or the big O) there are cess slides in all of them.

Does anyone have any good cess pics? I usually tip over backwards when I try to cess. Maybe I should practice and get some media as well...

My only problem for cessing was either not getting enough speed and flying foward or my front foot going outa control and leading me onto the staircase. Anyone got any good tips for cessing? I remember Jim from Athensfsw did a really nice one a while back.

Cessing with Soap shoes is sliding with the shoe part of the shoe on any surface, Bassically you don't use the grind plate.

That little clip you're talking about was either from oNe or tWo... I don't remember. In either case, they (obviously) were not using the new shoes, so I don'th think the 'side pieces' your talking about are made for cess sliding...

If it snows where you live then you can really get some sweet cess slides. Theres this 20+ stair set around here that looks like it should have a rail on the side but dosnt its just flat, when it snowed and froze over we could cess the entire thing.

lots of objects are cess-slidable on soaps... not to mention if it is cess-slideable on soaps than doing really tech cess slides is easy as hell... the only thing is that cess on soaps look SUPER gay, i don't even like them on skates much but just to stress it, it just plain doesnt seem right on soaps :s

i dunno aaron cess slides on skates are real fun i think. i like walt austins style cuz he does a lot of cess slides. i just dont like the fact they destroy my skates.

yeah cheers man i didnt mail back because i still need the picture :( i hope maybe this sunday im getting my dreadlocks so then the picture will be up to date ;) and i dont have the camera myself haha

definately fun... just not sure if its really worth the media attention it gets... same with a lot of creative stuff that you see popping up... i bet its fun as hell to do, but really doesnt look great nor does it do a good job of motivating people to go skate... there is always exceptions though, like some kinda sick cess slide would get ya stoked, but a lot of ones that make it into videos are just... blaaaahhhh

Actually you do use the grind plate. Soap plates do protude quite far out of the sides of the shoe

well i know back in the day when i did, a pinic table in my back yard got wet, it was cess mania

wet marble (such during/after rain) is the best for cess slides atleast on soaps when the side of the shoe is either rubber or fabric.

I was doing Cess Slide Backslides for a while on the railing that I took the Unnatural Backslide. It just seems like I can only do Cess Slides with my Bizos... hmm...
