I imagine there being a commercial where some old man (let's say 40 or so) says, "You kids need to stop grinding your skateboards on these rails or I'm going to call the cops."
And one of them says, "What skateboards, gramps?"
And he looks around and his jaw drops and everyone does secret handshakes and laughs except for the old man who scowls and shouts something irate that gets drowned out by cool boombox music.
Nope. I nearly lost a testicle to a soaped rail, back in the day. Never gonna forget that close call. 😶
(As in "I 'soaped' it", not "lubed it with soap before attempting to grind" — that was later.)
No, if only because I played through sonic adventure 2 somewhat recently
Did these guys actually have soap on their shoes, or they just do that anyway?
So they were shoes with a special plastic plate (particular Dupont formula that was really slippery), so they'd grind on rails.
Though us poor Xtreme pre-teens in Canada would use wooden benches on the playground with just enough ice to do this in sneakers, which was also fun.
Too old when that was happening, but did witness!
I was a year or two too young, but witnessed also!
