Are they FATS or MEGA, and do they actually rumble much? I couldn't hear very well on the vid. And how do they feel/handle, if you don't mind all the questions?  |
As those who have them can attest, Rumbles are one of, if not the most comfortable Heelys models there are. This is probably because of the suede upper and how the sole is constructed. It has it's down sides, though. For example, the heel/brake is VERY large due to the fact that the wheel well is moved very slightly forward than other models. This changes the balance, making normal heeling easier, but anything on a vert ramp more difficult. The wheels are Mega sized, but have a different construction. They don't make any noise until they get air bubbles, which mine have not yet gotten. I would say they'd be good for flatland tricks, but I don't do many tricks yet, and I know some people who prefer other models anyway.
I would definitely recommend having a pair in your collection for when you're in the mood to take it easy for a bit. Also, due to the style, they're even less likely to be suspected to be Heelys than any other model. |

Yeah, I thought they looked like the mega size but on the heelypedia they didn't come up in a search of all mega wheeled shoes, and there wasn't an option to search for rumble wheels. Perhaps the heelypedia needs a little tweak on this one? |

rumbles come with the new style megas, search them under that. |

I must be missing something: when I look at the heelypedia, under "Wheel type:" there isn't an option for new style megas, it just says:
Originals
Fats
Two Wheels
Megas
Big Deuce
Mack
Don't care.
Unless you mean I type it into one of the text boxes? Sorry if I'm being dense somehow |

I got my name, wondercheese, from a kid I babysat regularly about 12 years ago. She gave me a sand stuffed mouse for my birthday (she was 12, I was 16). She named it wondercheese. I took wondercheese with me to band camp (yes I'm a nerd) one year, and another girl at camp thought that was histerical and started calling me wondercheese. We spent the week making cheesewhiz jokes. When I got home from camp, I made an email address with wondercheese as my name. It's usually not taken so I use it everywhere now!

*shrug* i just add to the heelypedia. Slice is in charge of the layout and stuff, i know he added teh new megas thing recently and he told me to put rumbles only as new megas. (even though ninjas and furys have a different type of mega, then the standard one [no coinaxle, abec 5 wheels, weird hard feeling]). |

Merlyn (or Merlin) is the Wizard character from TH White's "Once and Future King", the story of King Arthur.
A bunch of friends and I fell in love with the character when I was little. We all wanted to be Merlyn. So we made ridiculous challenges for each other to claim the name. I did a flying side-kick off a roof (no kidding). Eventually we all did our challenges and all become "Merlyn". I became Merlyn_DHC (now Merlyn_DHZ).
So .. Merlyn is actually more of a title than a name. But I've used the handle since I was 11.

I busted my Fury wheels out of the casing not too long ago (cause my other megas pretty much died due to Air Bubbles) and the only thing I noticed in them was the design.
The wheel feels the same, and it seems to be more prone to Air Bubbles (already starting to develop some, so I swapped the wheels with my BD's) |

Rumble wheels are good and sturdy.
But for vert there's nothing better than MegaVerts or FreeSpins.
