I cre8ted this topic 2 warn new Heelers y it is not smart to Heely outside while the ground is wet. The reason why is if you hit a slick spot when u jump a curb or when rolling on wet concrete, ur Heelys will slide from under u and u'll b on ur back and probably injured. take this tip from me bcause i learned the hard way. I went Heelin outside a mall after it rained (and it was still hazy out) and I jumped up onto the curb (after i drifted on my bro while he ran) and when i landed, i fell backwards and my head hit the concrete. Fortunately, i was not bruised. so 4 all those new startin Heelers out there, remember this:
NEVER HEELY WHEN THE GROUND IS WET!!!
bad part of that accident: I wasn't wearing my safety gear since my cousin tries to steal them. |

I can second that... There are also a few vids on YT of why you shouldn't grind when its wet... Wet + Grind = Pole Meeting Face... Plus, besides the fact of skating when its wet and hurting yourself, thats a fast way to catch a cold. |

So why do soap shoes say they can be used in wet weather? |

It's even worse when your wheels are wet, the floor is wet from people dragging snow inside, and you think you're safe because you're indoors... errrt! Wrong!
Rumble wheels won't slip sideways so easily. |

wats worse is that u tell other ppl who Heely 2 dont do it and they dont listen and they come 2 u and say they were injured. i keep tellin my training team (which is my cousins and a few of my friends) 2 dont heely when it is wet. my 1 cousin didnt listen and fell on their face and came cryin 2 me when i was there tellin them 2 not do it. |

i find it better to grind when things are wet, makes it alot better to slide on and waxing them after makes em alot better too. |
