He’s been called THE EVIL SEED OF SOAP SHOES,
THE BAD BOY OF AGGRESSIVE IN-LINE,
and even THE SOAP GOD himself.
THE GURU OF GRIND—RYAN JAUNZEMIS,
(As seen in Soap Shoes’ international sales commercials
& Relate Video Productions’ famous full-length Soap videos “oNe” & “tWo”)
known by Soap fans the world over—and said to be, by many,
quite possibly the best Soaper of all time—is about to take you back to the late 90s,
in a time where bowl-cuts, bleached hair, visors, & JNCO jeans were the latest fashion,
on a hilariously funny, wild, no-holds-bars, raw-and-uncut,
kinked-out rail of a skating & Soaping adventure,
as Ryan (At the time), a 17-year-old professional aggressive in-line skater
from El Segundo, California, along with fellow pro skater & best friend, Danny Lynch,
randomly stumble onto an ad
that had been recently placed in a local Southbay newspaper
from a new company called SOAP SHOES,
who claimed that they had just invented a prototype-model
for the world’s first pair of grind shoes;
special shoes fashioned with concaved screw-in plastic grind plates
in the soles of the shoes; which would allow the wearer to slide (Or “Grind”)
along curbs, ledges, planters, & even HANDRAILS,
thus now enabling a person to be able to mimic many similar movements
to that of aggressive in-line street-skating without ever even having to strap up!
In other words: You were now able to go skateboarding—WITHOUT A SKATEBOARD!

Ryan buys a used pair of Soap Shoes from his friend Kenny Oard for $10 dollars,
makes himself a sponsor video, and later becomes sponsored by Soap Shoes.
Ryan starts bringing in $200 dollars per hour for photoshoots, tours the country,
receives free clothes, free shoes, free food,
free booze, free hotel rooms, & paid travel expenses,
all the meanwhile brawling & duking it out with rival skate crews,
and slides his way into the hearts of many beautiful young ladies,
all while busting out on some of the biggest & baddest rails on the planet!
Could this be the sport of the century? You decide!

Grab your Soaps, lace up, and get ready to get your grind on fellas!
Or, as Ryan would say, “Soap it up baby!”
