Who says Heelys Evolution are hard to find, I just snagged a new pair off the US amazon.com website, and a spare pair of new big deuce wheels 
And they still have some Size 9 and size 7s in stock
I have a problem tho, I think I may have a Heely-buying obsession.
Today I have spent:
$60 on some big Reflex's with the 41mm large abec-7 688 fats wheel
$6 on shipping
$96 US dollars on four sets of Buccaneer FATS
$6 on a wheel bag
$10 on local shipping
$40 on the spare pair of brand new big Deuces
$30 for the overseas shipping
$100 on the new evo's
$35 on overseas shipping
that's a total of:
$383 Dollars...
...just for today... 
oops 
I think I better hide my bank cards for a while, before this new interest makes me bankrupt lol.
Oh, and I also managed some new tricks for the very first time: Reverts, and Backwards shuffling. Still very rough on these - can't do them very well and sometimes i fall, but at least I actually managed each of them a f ew times today without stepping - which makes it all seem worth it |

LAWL, can't blame a girl for trying eh? Well, I think the FBI would come round my house if I just started sending you money for no reason lol, but maybe if it was like your birthday or something I might be allowed to send a little something hehe.

Yeah, sorry about that, have been thinking of changing it . . .
<- How' that? 
| heelingforlyfe wrote: | | dude...why would you buy replacement big d's? wwwhhhyyyy?? |
Well I know they're rare now so they might be impossible to find in the future, and I wouldn't want to have missed my only chance to try them, and if i DID like them, I'd hate it if I my pair wore out and I didn't have a spare pair. . . I like to plan ahead Of course, if I don't like them, I'm sure someone else would be happy to buy them
And may I take this opportunity to say:
w00t!
Team AMN member bar! Thanks guys, I am honoured |

| I've been wondering if BDs are less prone to picking up pebbles, or stopping on them in the first place? Putting in better bearings is easy enough as long as it's a coin axle, or just get the tool needed if it's a c-clip axle. Do people complain about BDs because of the bearings, or is there something else about them that causes them to be slower? |

They're porous and relatively soft.
They're not soft as in actually SOFT- they're solid to the touch- but when you put your full weight on them, they deform a bit, worse than regular Megas. Guaranteed to waste energy and kill your speed. |

| Slicer is right on that one with the speed loss, but in my opinion, if you're just looking for a leasurely roll, BD's attract less pebbles and are easier to swerve around in... I love BD's for street skaing and Megas for vert stuff |

Ditto.
Just adding -

Interesting. So maybe trying to get a pair of BDs for when I'm rolling in the streets and sidewalks couldn't hurt? I don't think I'll ever get pair of MVs, though, since they appear to be pro-team only. If they hit retail, I'd get them just 'cus.
Thanks guys! |

I have three pairs of Heelys, all Mega sized wheel wells. I was not planning to get a pair of Evos, since I already have Torch. My plan was to hopefully find a pair of spare Big Deuce wheels for more wheel options. |
