Xtreme Wheels Demo
Mar 3, 2008 by SapAuthor

Hey all, the Demo was awesome, thanks again to all that could participate!

Sam's mom picked us all up, which was awesome, housed me and AJ for the night (Dario, Travis, and Renny came early morning on the bus). She also fed all of us.

At Sam's, Renny and I busted out the smash bros, we each won one round, a tough fight indeed, he kicked my butt the first one, but i got my act together and the 2nd battle was much closer.

We all went to the demo then, set up quickly, and got things going. We were all pumped, that huge hand rail they have is AWESOME, steep slope and tall. It took a couple of tries but soon i was going down that thing consistently. Renny and Dario were busting out the Broadside tricks, AJ too, and we all just had a blast. When things started to pick up, it got kind of hectic as we didn't have a good system of keeping track of the shoes, and someone swiped our size 9 express. I also lost (possibly got stolen) my dad's 300 jacket, which sucks :- /

But enough with the downer stuff, we all got some AWESOME video, AND to top it off, WE GOT ON TV!! oh yeah, Channel 4 came and video taped us soaping. We're getting a copy of the video they shot for demo vid purposes as well as we have already recorded the news, we'll throw it up on the soap shop's video media area when we can ;-)

A lot of people loved the shoes, i'm keeping an eye out over the next week for sales from buffalo, i think it would help a lot of have some shoes to sell somehow with it cuz a bunch of ppl wanted to buy them on the spot.

So, in all, even with all the bad stuff that happened property wise, i still say it was a huge success, we got some free publicity, soaped and got a lot of video, and I got to chill with my brotha from anther, renny.

Aight, I'm signing off. Too tired, my flight got canceled and i had to stay the night at the airport (as much as i love my soaps and my soap shirt, shoes don't make good pillows, and a t-shirt doesn't substitute a warm blanket lol).

Last, great thanks to Sam for settign this all up, Sam's mom for the rides and food and housing, and Virginia at Xtreme Wheels who not only allowed this to happen, was super cool about it, but also denied the local team Heelys to Xtreme Wheels (they tried to get a Demo with her on the same date when they knew we were going to do one, haha)

Trev-trev, they found your jacket and my jacket. They're gonna mail me both and i'll send yours back to you

Mar 3, 2008AnthoFlex

Thats werd. We saw the newscast at Sam's house while we were eating pizza. They left out a lot of the important stuff, as well as some dope tricks like My hip high Pornstar, Sam's CG,FS,CG switches, and Trev's monster style on the monster rail. I really hope they send us the raw footage, then perhaps we could edit it altogether ourselves.

Which reminds me, Trev, you got the guys info right? You think you could convince him into sending you all the raw footage onto a DVD?

Mar 3, 2008SpiderSoaper

do u guys think thats they'll air it on the news again? i wanna see it

Mar 3, 2008xJeremiahx

Sounds like a lot of fun!!! I can't wait to see some video from the event. Maybe some day I will come out and soap with you guys.

Mar 3, 2008AnthoFlex

I loved how Virginia gave Team Heelys the big NO when they asked to do a demo the same day we were doing ours. All hating aside, how childish is that?

Not to mention that would've started problems. Not only would Virginia have had kicked all their sorry butts outta there, but that would been straight beef with me.

We have never crashed a Heelys demo. Why they gotta try and crash ours? I hope HSL reads this

Mar 3, 2008Soapdreamer

Sweet The demo was a huge success but wait Team heelys honestly tried to crash the demo.
I hope so one brings this to the attention of heelys or maybe at least so one on who goes on heelychat or something *Cough*Kain*Cough*
lol. Still not feeling great.XD

Mar 3, 2008xJeremiahx

I remember reading something about the guys at the demo getting a sneak peak at the new soap shoe model. Was that for real or am I imagining things?

If it was real then when do the rest of us get to see this?

Mar 3, 2008Kain

Man, that sucks......why would HSL try to schedule a demo right on top of the soap demo?
idiots.....

Anyway, it sounded fun. Too bad I missed it :(
*wants to pwn you guys in SSB*

Mar 3, 2008Page645

hey i think of a way to keep track of the demo pairs a little better. renny if ur online hit me up ill tell u on aim

Mar 3, 2008AnthoFlex

I dunno Kain, why dont you find out why they tried to do it. You ARE part of Team Heelys right?

Mar 3, 2008Kain

Technically no. Even though they accepted me, my papers are still being processed by the EMM. Everyone on heelychat is wondering wtf is going on, so we're gonna try to find out soon.

Mar 3, 2008sam

Yeah renny, they showed me and trev hitting up the monster handrail at 5:30 in the morning, as well as trevors interview. They showed my interview at 12:00. I didnt see it though. They also showed billy falling flat on his face. XD

Mar 3, 2008AnthoFlex

Dude, i left my GC controller at your place. You think you could get it mailed to me?

I think i may have left some other stuff there too, but i dunno. Mail me like 3 of them BB's that i shot at Travis, haha

Mar 3, 2008sam

ok np haha

Mar 4, 2008Altman

You shot bb's at Travis? Lulzic. Yo Sam, i need to get your info. I want to send you guys a thank you note for driving us to niagara Falls and putting up with me and my dad.

Mar 4, 2008Megashadow77

DAMMIT I WISH I COULDA GONE.

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

that really wasn't funny. That was fucking stupid.


Demo was the shit though. Virginia was nice, and everyone had a blast. Best demo I've ever went to.

Thanks goes to Sam for arranging the demo there and pulling of some sick tricks, Renny for helping me get to the demo (Dario too), Virginia of course, and Trevor for making it to the demo, taking care of the shoes and stuff while being able to soap.

Trevor was the shit, he and Sam were able to hit that nice handrail.

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

btw sam, I left that hat at your place! Damn it, everyone was leaving stuff at your place.

But dude, thanks so much for letting us chill at your place. You guys are some hosts haha

It went from being fun at the demo to being fun at your house. That whole day was excellent haha

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

and Sam, if you get a chance, give me a phone call man.

I'll send ya my number.

Mar 4, 2008SapAuthor

Just to set everyone strait, Team Heelys didn't try to set a demo over us, nor HSL, it was a local team that tried to. Eitherway, i'm glad they never got the chance :P

Anyone able to get the news on vid that they could either upload to youtube and link me or send to me? I gotta see this stuff :)

Mar 4, 2008Wesker

The demo was awesome, but hangin' at Sam's afterwards was even better :X

Mar 4, 2008Kain

*agrees with Mike*

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

Yeah, I agree with wesker.

Sam's just an awesome dude haha

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

And you know, chilling at sam's place reminded me of the soap van tour.

on derek.broox.com there are some pictures of the demo, and him and bryndon and other people are just chilling in the van, playing video games and stuff.

This demo kind of reminded me of that haha.

Mar 4, 2008AnthoFlex

Except we shot the shit outta you with nerf shit and BB guns.


Oh and also, local teams cant set up demos without HSL's persmission. And if it were a "local" team, then it would still be classified as Team Heelys, thus bringing HSL into the picture.

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

that was uncalled for

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

If I were to guess, that would have been TeamHeelz.

They said it was a bunch of kids or something.

Mar 4, 2008matrix8967

the local heely's team tried to get a demo on the same day at the same place? wow. I'm all about fighting dirty...but that's just silly.

Mar 4, 2008SapAuthor

lol, fighting dirty.

Anyways, good news, Renny said they aired the news thing differently at the different hours, so combined we got pretty much all the video, we'll be buying the DVD with all of it so we can use it in our DEMO vid ^_^ hopefully it has all the shots, like a better shot of my stair rail FS, Renny's mad tricks he pulled off, and Sam's too (well, everyone's)

Mar 4, 2008dunk

Mar 4, 2008Kain

Mar 4, 2008RamenRadio

Fuck you.

Mar 4, 2008Kain

*wants to shoot someone*

Mar 4, 2008AnthoFlex

Anywayz, but yea, we're looking to get the DVD copies in soon...

...in fact, letme make some calls now

Mar 4, 2008Kain

Mar 4, 2008Page645

Mar 4, 2008SpiderSoaper

i still wanna see the news thing about the demo, oh well, Antho didnt you say that anyone who goes to the demo will see a new model shoe or something?

Mar 4, 2008teamheelz

sounds like demo was a blast

But no, as kain said i live in philly PA. That and team heelz is an old team me and my friends put together for the fun of it. we're not together anymore. We did host 1 modells demo though. But lets not get off topic.

Cant wait to see video/dvd of the demo :D

Mar 4, 2008AnthoFlex

Give me $59.95+ shipping and Tax and you can have a copy of the DVD Kain.

Mar 5, 2008SamusMeleeMaste

that demo sounded dope...

Mar 5, 2008Kain

Renny,
$60 for a damn DVD!!!!!

.......*starts saving up*

Mar 5, 2008RamenRadio

I'll give you some footage for 20

:P

Mar 5, 2008RamenRadio

and then Renny is saying you have to pay for "tax" and shipping....

Mar 5, 2008SapAuthor

We're looking into it. The guy said that there were 3 broadcasts (one at night, 2 stories in the morning), all with different interviews and mix of clips. and it's 60$ per showing (3 showings, 3 dvds, 60 bucks a peice). That can't be right, and if it is it's pretty crooked. So i'm giving them a call l8r to see if i can get someone else on the line or get a more proper deal (60$ for the raw footage or all 3). Eitherway we still have a lot of vid from the various camcorders adn cameras we got, we didn't plan on having the news there, so the Demo vid will be made, with or without the TV vid (although we really want it lol, the quality is very nice)

Mar 5, 2008EatingEmoKids

Hey guys, I am new and have never soaped before, waiting for my first pair of soaps to arrive some time next week. I wish I could have made it to the demo but couldnt :-(

I've been dying to see the videos but after a little while of searching I got a clip from one of the news stories.

Mar 5, 2008SpiderSoaper

Mar 5, 2008AnthoFlex

Yo Sam, you think you could mail me my gamecube controller? Brawl is coming out this weekend and i need it

Gahhh

Mar 5, 2008SapAuthor

also sam, email me so i can email you back a link to the video, i can upload what i got to my website (it will be a large download), so you have it. I can instruct renny to do the same, and then you'll have the video, we just need the video you guys have, any luck getting it into a digital form?

Mar 6, 2008RamenRadio

I downloaded it

Now I got even more of the demo footage.

Mar 6, 2008SapAuthor

Travis, don't u think about using the video that was on the news site for the demo, we need permission to use it or we could be subject to a lawsuit, i'm attempting to get permission as we speak, left a voice message. We got to be careful.

Mar 6, 2008RamenRadio

I'm not using it for anything, I just have it.

Mar 6, 2008sam

ok, renny im sending your controller first thing 2morrow along with a soap hat i believe dario wanted and some bbs for next time you see travis... hahaha

Mar 6, 2008RamenRadio

Sam I left my hat at your place :(

Mar 6, 2008RamenRadio
