Where is your favorite place to Heely, even if your "technically" not allowed to?

Skateparks, which I think I'm allowed to, lol. But locally (since there aren't any around me) just costco or walmart or the park

Skate park definitely. But for day-to-day, I'd say Home Depot. Wide aisles, smooooooth floor and no one yells at you so long as you're buying stuff.

Mine's definatly Home Depot. The floors are great, and its always less crowded than Wal/K Mart...

Plus, tools= Smile

The local grocery store and Target. The local Squalor-Mart's floors are way too waxed (as in difficulty stopping) and someone quietly told me that I wasn't supposed to be rolling in there. Okay, guess where I'm not going, and guess where I'm telling everyone to quietly avoid? The local skateboarders prefer Target over Squalor-Mart anyway.

As far as I'm concerned, if someone tells me I can't heel in there, the place might as well not exist. The only exceptions are small convenience stores where it doesn't matter terribly much because the aisles are about twenty-five feet long.

This one goes out to all the store owners and managers out there: Don't play with us on this one, all right? Just don't. Kids or adults. It might seem like a great idea to avoid insurance liability and that, but you're alienating your customers and they just might not come back. This goes quadruple in places where Heeling is popular. You tell three kids to stop Heeling when they aren't running into people (does this ever actually happen?) and threaten to kick them out, and for some mysterious reason your toy department's revenue is down 25% next month and your electronics department just isn't moving videogame inventory like it used to, and did I mention your annual review is coming up? Looks like you're in dutch. How ever could that have happened?

Basketball courts (for the benches and flatland) and shopping centers. There's always nice staircases and benches. =)

I like the mall and disney LOTS o things to grind at disney although your not allowed its still fun because theres so many people with them that they dont know who've they've warned and who they havent. even though i know they wont kick me out im dont take chances after my first warning

I hate when people are using the basketball courts though. I mean, what kind of moron would play basketball on a basketball court?? Wink

But then they put all their stuff on the bench and I'm like "Uhm, excuse you, that is my bench. It is my turf. So GO AWAY!" No, not really. But these little basketball teams come and practice there and they're there for hours on end. Its really irritating. It "chaps my hide". (Haha, my mom said that the other day and I've been waiting for an excuse to say it. Smile

I like skateparks but i dont go very much so i would have to say any store. My mom usually says dont you dare WHEELIE. So i go ok i wont. So i heely and she says what did i tell you. I usually say you said no wheelieing! I hate it when people tell me to stop heelying, especially when they say skateing or wheeling.

I have a new favorite place. I just came back from bush gardens (tampa not williamsburg) for my bday and it had so many Low to the ground benches to grind. Sure the ground was bumpy but with mega wheels it was easy. The security dont say anything and the park allows it. There were so many little kids with fats heelys and the crappies falling flat on their faces because of the bumpy ground but you would occasionally see a kid with torches,evos or reflexes. Let me tell you it was a fun day. Too bad i didnt get any footage......
