Heelychat, the forum for heelys, the shoes with wheels - View topic

We'll i was thinking have any of you had embarrisng moments? i'm luck and havnt but i was using my heelys in the mall and i did a 180 some little kid watching wanted to show off and he was saying "oh thats easy" he tryed, failed, his mom started yelling at him, my siblings and i started laughing i know it was mean but still it was funny

Bumped shins on shopping cart twice on the first day I had them, fell on ass next day with minor cuts to palms..

I know for a fact that these shoes are going to take their toll before I have them mastered.

lol the bumped shins happened to me too my first day but i didnt find it too embarrising because i was assured by my lil brother it was hard for him too oh yeah and the other day i was pushing him while on my heelys so while he was on his wheels too and then out of nowhere i tripped he tripped we fell in the middle of the mall it was quite funny because we it looked like we were just sitting in the mall for no apparent reason

I have had a few bad moments on my Heelys. All too many times, I have been casually walking down the street when I step on a patch of sand or gravel. This has the effect of making the front of my shoes slide, which wouldnt be a problem if my heels didnt slide as well. But they DO slide. And it is embarrasing when you all of a sudden slip and fall for what appears to be no apparent reason. So yeah, keep a sharp eye for such hazards. And in the first week I had my Heelys, I was Heeling along and my front shoe ate a pebble and I was sent flying forward and almost slammed into some people. Thankfully, I have now learned to dodge pebbles and stuff. Also, the newest Big Deuce wheels are MUCH better against pebbles than the normal ones, I havent had any pebbles get jammed in my wheel well since I started using the Big Deuces.

Good stories everyone Razz

Maybe four or five years ago, I was walking down the stairs to my middle school. These were hard, concrete stairs. I stepped with, for whatever reason, my heel first. This created an interesting issue as my seventh grade body shifted its weight onto a moving balance point. By interesting, I mean "painful" as I fell down on my butt, knocking the wind out of myself.

This doesn't count the time I was rolling down the hallway with a rubbermaid tub full of debate evidence, and I turned on water. Heelys+Excessive surface friction=Ouch!

Nearly going ass over tit in the cafe at college Embarassed

.. looads of ppl not good

Squalor-Mart, going through at a decent clip. This was actually a week or so after I got my Evolutions. Did I mention that the Evolutions have a fairly small actual foot surface compared to Fleets, and the floor was just waxed?

Usually, you put your foot down to stop, not put it down to slide and end up half-under your shopping cart with two badly bumped shins...

Fortunately, nobody else saw that.

the most embarrising ting that happened to0 me has had to be when i was heeling in front of 4 kids and i was going full speed. When i was heeling i fell on some rocks and fell in the bumper of a hummer(MY DREAM CAR!!) i yelled SHIT and the kid (michael) was like you ok i jumped up and was yea im cool. Well i had cut open my hand a bit, i laughed, while my friend cried for me...quite embarrising because the one kid laughed SOO FREAKING LOUD...drew attention.
