Yes, you can do tricks in Fats. Remember that Megas and Big Deuces didn't arrive until comparatively recently. All of the older Heelys videos feature Fats, because that's all there was at the time.
Can't spend more than $70, flatland, Fats okay but Megas preferable?

There ya go. Hopefully your size is in that list.
First trick to learn is going forward with either foot forward. Second is probably going backwards, or possibly jump-and-land. Really depends on what you're good at |

They'd work fine, and you'd save ten more bucks, but the wheels are only Fats. |

Reflexes for $70 and Torches for $60. That's the best deal on Heelys I've seen so far. |
