Convince Heelys to bring back Soap Shoes/grindplates!
The Issue
With the current market of grindplate-equipped shoes being virtually nonexistent, no future generations will ever get to experience the sport/art of Soaping and freestyle walking. Along with this, dedicated Soapers are relegated to a never-ending sanity-destroying witch hunt for a pair of crumbling second-hand shoes --- same goes for all those who have an urge to start the sport.
Why must it be this way? Why?
Is this the world? Were great multi-million dollar ideas are thrown into the trash pile to be forgotten due to the wants of some high-level CEO who has no care for what the current market desires? Should we let a whole subculture be walked upon by the cold footprints of time due to our own insolence and lack of motivation towards keeping such a wonderful past time alive?
Or are we gonna do something about it? What's even so hard about making these things again? I dont know about anyone else, but the whole situation seems really illogical and confusing to me.
Bring back this art form! If Heelys can sell to adults, then so can Soaps! I'm not even joking! I love this sport with all my heart and this is killing me! Financially and wholeheartedly killing me!
So if I feel this way, can you imagine what some 14 year old kid who discovers this hobby just be crushed by the reality of this disasterpiece feels like?
Just think about it, and PLEASE help me here.
The fact that nobody seems to care is just painful to me.
