So I looked up a Heelys "How-To" video on YouTube. Some good pointers I guess, but here's two choice quotes from the beginning:
Girl who is probably a freshman in High School -- i.e., a role model to most Heely owners:
"You can grab some air, jump and grind, tweak it out, or just hang"
OK, I think I know what grabbing air and 'just hanging' are (flying through the air, and drinking). Tweaking it out? What, am I putting 21" dubs on these things? I don't even know how to spell dubs. And jumping and grinding? Is that the thing that you see idiots do where they jump over a handrail, and then trip up, and the bar goes right into their crotch? No thank you.
Guy who calls "Heeling" an "action sport", but still gets to make out with high school chicks 'on the daily':
"Word is, when you're pushing the limit, you're eventually gonna bust"
OK, I guess I can't pick on this one too much, but I still don't like the 'Word is" part.
All in all though, I'm still glad I have the Heelys. It's like God has some bet with someone that I won't live to 35.
