Well I just got got my heelys about 2 nights ago and I live in washington state and it just rained here like 10 inches...I had to go to school and So I wore them to school and well they are like driping wet. I have tryed using a hair dryer and towels on them but they are still soaked.... I wanted to know if I could put them in the dryer but I don't know if they will shrink or not.....Anyone know?
I have to go to school tomarrow and I don't want to waer wet shoes so any other tips on how to drry them would make me very happy?

Do NOT put your Heelys in the dryer! You'll destroy the rubber. Don't put them in the microwave, the oven, or anywhere else.
Is it cold where you are? Have a radiator or some central heating? Put them next to something like that.
But I'd just keep going after them with the hair dryer. It's not going to happen instantly. You might need to spend some time. Focus on the metal parts (wheels) especially; the water can rust out your bearings if you let it sit there. |

Alright, Well I try using the hair dryer some more. and over night I'll put them near the heater.
I knew about the wheel part I took the wheels out before I went in the rain. My brother used to have a pair of heelys about a year ago and I remeber his getting rusted from rain. But anywyas, Thanks for the help, I needed it. |

Hello
Question for the experts
How do you bend your leg enough in a bigger halfpipe so you can pump up yourself on the other side.(like in skateboarding) |
