My missus got me a pair for my birthday, just properly trying them out now. Have to say its quite easy to pick up. Just been skating up and down my apartment. Just thought I share that with you all.
lots of places ban them though, as it's a liability. Nothing like suing the place your dumbass child fell on his face because they can't correctly use the shoes you bought them.
I can skateboard, but i can't ice-skate/inline/roller-skate worth of shit. I fall on my ass all the time
Haha i managed to get 3mins of skating before i decided i wouldnt skate in my jeans. Went downstairs got changed then started skating again lol
I would have killed for some of them a few years ago, never seen soap shoes in the UK (at least where I live)
The first time i saw Heely's i was well freaked out. I was in my local supermarket and this kid came gliding past me, i was like "WTF" as i hadn't heard of heely's before:icon_bigg. I always used to fall on my ass when i tried boarding/skating, i wasn't too bad on a BMX back in the day though. I doubt i'd be able to pedal to the shop at the top of my street now;-)
Everytime time someone wearing Heelys, I find myself being very obnoxious. This girl whipped by me and was just like, "WHOA!! WHOA!! How are you doing that!?" She just ignored me...
