I'm 26 years old and just got my first pair of Heelys: Reflux w/ ABEC 7 FATS.
Man! These wheels feel as slippery as ice!
I'm getting the hang of it after a couple of days, but I'm really regretting my purchase of Reflux. Here's why:
Reflux seems to be an "advanced" shoe because of the ABEC 7 FATS. I really wish I had ordered the Torch. 1) Because of style 2) Mega wheels to help me learn.
I'm not a trickster, so it isn't the grind plate i want, but I'm a *speedster*. I want to go as fast as possible as easily as possible. Don't I want mega wheels for that? In the future I may do 180's and 360's, but that's not really my interest.
But also, I like being able to hide my wheels in public. I know mega's are harder to hide... but are they really *that* much harder? |

If you want to go fast, you have to learn balance. Speed and balance go hand in hand.
Mega-wheels are the best for both (IMO) I need it to skate vert (the speed).
Also - be careful at high speeds. If you go faster than your balance will allow, then you will go splat.

get her a pair and then its all good.
Just please be careful .. I know what its like to be a speed demon. Also .. if you have an aptitude for it, try vert .. you get the speed rush (but no cracks or pebbles).
good luck - let us know how you make out! |

Your best friends just got a girlfriend? Why share a single girlfriend? Isn't that a bit awkward?
LOL - yeah, I make fun .. you're welcome to fire back. Its all just in jest. Don't mean anything personally. And .. ahem .. on this post, you kinda started it.
Okay - Heel True!
