Was just wondering if this can be done in real life on heelies. . . I think I saw it done on a skateboarding playstation game once . . . but was wondering if, given enough speed and a heeler with enough skill, and a loop shaped pipe type thing, someone could actually do a full loop on heelies? - As in go into a big round pipe and keep their wheels in contact with the pipe for a full 360 but in a vertical plane, so that at the midpoint they would be skating upside down for a split second held up only by centripetal force?

I'm guessing you'd have to drop in from a great height to get enough speed, kinda like this:

There's a loop being built at a skatepark near Merlyn

We're looking forward to seeing him try it Smile

I doubt it...

The speeds needed to actually hit the loop needs to have enough force to start centrifugal motion. Plus the pumping would have to be right on queue...

It could be obtainable with a long enough down ramp to get enough speed, but I don't know if the one by Merlyn would work...

I have faith, but its clouded, even knowing that some of the world's best skateboarders have yet to make the loop...

It took skateboarder a long time before it was even a possibility, it'll take us a while too, we'll need better wheels, preferably a bit bigger, if anyones ever skate a steep vertwall or anything will know that if you have lots of speed and your going up your toes are quite likely to touch

I wonder if they ever tried Heelys for any kind of stunt, would that boost sales due to the high ammount of mentally handicapped people who do everything the Jackass guys do?
