It's an old one, but since it's Heelys getting the thumbs-up for a change, I thought I'd share:

Pity about all the haters/lemmings in the comments lol.

Bleh, you're right about the comments. One of the most annoying to me is the whole "it's harder to walk than glide" junk. Sure, if I had a race with someone, I'd get to the finish line in less of a huff than if I were jogging or running, but I'd also use more energy than walking. Walking is great, to be sure, but REAL exercise is when your heart rate increases. Mine doesn't increase from walking much, but it does increase when I'm kicking off and gliding around. They act as if they world is an infinitely long, smooth, downhill ramp for us to glide down. Bleh

it really gets me when people are annoyed by the kids in the store with it... Of EVERYONE who bitches about the shoes, how many of the pricks were actually ran into by a kid with Heelys?

And if thats the case, then why aren't there forums and hate videos against people who bump carts in the market? That happens to me more then getting hit with a kid in Heelys...

There's this thing called a rock... Haters should learn to kick it
