Little skateboarder figures with spikes in the bottom of the feet to stick in to a bar of soap.
Then try to pull of 360's and mctwists with your Soapboarder in the wet tub.-- Giblet, Jun 23 2005 Surfboard Shaped Soap http://www.alohamol...oducts_tropical.htm [paix120, Mar 02 2009] Hah! Nice. +-- bristolz, Jun 23 2005 You would need the slomo cam to really capture their wild moves. Good, good stuff!-- bungston, Jun 23 2005 We manufactured small skateboards with Corgi Car wheels and real grip tape and cardboard and had a go in the empty tub. This idea is much better and can be implemented while showering.-- gnomethang, Jun 23 2005 Just to make it that more difficult, make it into a surfboarding version... biologically friendly, of course!-- froglet, Jun 23 2005 Birthday cake figures often come with spikes - perhaps you could find a skateboarding dude on a cake decorating supply site. (Tho' I couldn't in a quick search just now.)
For gnomethang, you can buy mini-skateboards at skateboading shops (as keyrings or on their own).-- DrCurry, Jun 23 2005 Didn't find any 20 years ago! - we had to make our own entertainment in them days.-- gnomethang, Jun 23 2005 A two-piece bath pack, figurine and board, both made from decorated soap would be a snap to put together and would thrill most kids for a whole bath. + For that alone.-- reensure, Jun 23 2005 Apparently, the new version of Monopoly has a skateboard as one of the counters.-- angel, Jun 23 2005 I did this in the tub as a kid. You can take a regular action figure and cram its feet in, cant you? +-- DesertFox, Jun 23 2005 random, halfbakery
