I am 26 and I always wanted to try these out. I wouldn't mind learning new things and maybe vert but, Im old and my bones aren't what they used to be. I am a breakdancer and I have mad balance and strength. My friend gave me a pair of heelys and I just want to know if you think there are boo boo or what not. I figured out how to heely forward but I am unable to do any tricks yet. I have incorporated my heeling into my bboy style. Kinda unqiue.
here is a link to them

well the ages of people on here range from about 10 to 40. So your not too old, don't worry 
If your a bboy, Im sure your bones will be able to cope with heelys.
Your heelys are called cyclones .. i think. They're not the best heelys for vert - for that you'd want a pair of pro series or torch if you can find them (they have grindplates and bigger wheels called megas). But if your not grinding or doing vert, those are fine  . I prefer fats models (smaller wheels like you have) for flatland etc anyway 
Also, have you seen flying steps videos? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdPyQnlNo9M pretty cool combination of heelys and breakdancing.
If you want to learn some tricks check out this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns7meOWH8Bg
It's made by seth (a member on here) and covers pretty much all the basic and advanced flatland tricks.
Hope that helps |

I stepped in to my first pair at 30. Invented most of the vert tricks at 32 -33. So .. um .. no excuses.
Just don't be too proud to wear some gear. Saves your butt when you're starting out, for sure.
G'Luck.
