Heelychat, the forum for heelys, the shoes with wheels - View topic

Well, I've been heeling Since February 2nd of 07', and I think Im ready to tryout again (since its been over a year and a half since I last tried). What tips do you have? And, on the tryout form why does it say "Print & Fax" AND "Submit". Do tell. Also, must I know vert to be accepted? Cause, quite frankly... I like what I do. Flatland is just my skating style.

(oh, and don't worry I'm gunna get me rolling into the bloodstain so you crazies will believe me)

I'm right where u r, so any advice helps me too Smile

. Seeing what they do on the team, i started vert.

After seeing my video im sure u want to roll into bloodstain even more Very Happy

I know how to do it, its just the camera didnt record me rolling in.... but only doing the trick.

Well on the team captain member requirement sheets it says basic tricks and has to be able to do basic vert and have legit intentions.

advice for emma: BIG OPEN SPACES. your space is so small most of your tricks are jut the trick, no rolling into it or out of it. and go at it with speed so that it looks more precise and sharp. Dont rely on breaks so much it makes the tricks look sloppy and stop emphasizing that you spent so much money on heelys. Stick to one pair for the video dont go from razzles to zevos to clutch. use zevos and show that your into aggrezive heeling. dont label the tricks either, make it fluid and people at HSL know the names, do lots of combos too, not just crabwalk and thats it. and keep the editing to a minimum.

wizman: Keep doing what your doing read what i said to emma and remember that. you can already do some vert so just practice and get better at it.

sounds like i should try than. i can't do a backside on vert yet, but im getting there. my closest one turned out to be a stall.

how do we try out

the only problem is:
My Clutch's, they're awesome but wayyy too big. XD
Evos: I still have the BD wheels.... so.... basically I cant do crap on them.
My Razzles, well, those.... they're unstylish but they fit the best and stuff.

Thanks for the adivce though Seth. Smile

EDIT: ohhhhs, and what about the fax / submit thingy?

No probs.

Changing bearings is pretty easy once you get the hang of it too. Smile

But yeah if you run your wheels as standard probably best to go for the 7s. The 7s probably come with coin axles too so yeah, might as well go for them. Smile
