So I've been reading a lot about rebels and the new design, as with noticing the "Spinners" knock offs at Wal-Mart.
Reviewing the two after blindly being mislead, I've noticed the difference from bearings, to wheels, to even wheel spacing and the contour to the feet, something Heelys have designed very well.
But my over all thought was is there a method to the design of the Rebel with the dual wheels? I am thinking it would be better for balance, but is that it, or is there some secret, ultra efficient design in act? Just wondering.
And as for the people who ride them, would you pick the two wheel's like the Rebels or Rockets versus the original style like the Atomics? |

I only know what I've heard, but rebels are supposed to be easier to go longer distances without your ankle getting tired b/c of the more spaced out wheels. The bearings aren't as good, so they aren't very fast. Personally, I would take just regular heelys. And spinners do suck  |
