?? Soap Shoes!(make your own) These are my own version of Soap shoes, which can grind on rails, ledges, and anywhere else a skateboarder or Agressive inliner can. Place your shoe on the plate material, and trace around the bottom. This step is pretty simple, but it is kind of time consuming. You have to carve a channel in the plate. use the hacksaw and cut along the line at the front and back of the plate. Once your shoes are done, its time to try them out. First, practice jumping onto a ledge or low bar, then work on sliding a little, and get your confi.In this step you will design and shape the plate that will be doing the grinding. Place your shoe on the plate material, and trace around the bottom. Then, decide where you want the plate to be on the sole. I chose to put it about where my arch is, slightly farther back thasn the middle. This is your choice.Then , use the hacksaw to cut out a square containing your plate. This step sucks. My advice is to put it as close to the corner as you can. Then use the saw to shape the plate, giving you a rough "blank" plate.Now use the grinder to finalize the outline. I’d also round off the edges that are going to come into contact with the ground, cause they can get annoying.
