Sonic's shoe of choice! Actually they are called "Heelies". If I were ever to get into them they would need reinforced wheels, cause that cheap plastic would shatter under the weight.
I would like a pair of them... but I would probably bust my ass so hard... ^ yea, and probably need tougher wheels for me too.
I know these have been out for a decade or so, but hav'nt seen them out in full force until recently. this kid's a pro at it
We've had them for ages in the UK. Horrible things, mostly little sh*ts that wear them and fly into you when you're in the supermarket and then their parents blame it on you for being in the way of their little darling. If I were in charge, I'd burn them all! The heelies that is, not the kids. ... then again...
Killing two birds with one stone. Good thinking, kind sir!!! plus if you aim well you can get the irritating mother as well...
I think I still prefer my Shoes with 4 wheels on them, I don't facesplat like the 10 year olds on the sidewalks here. Those shoes really should come with a Darwin Award Sticker.
I hate those f**kin things! All I see in walmart or any other store are these damn kids zipping around in them. I usually plant myself firmly in thier path, just to see if they want to run into me, ( that and to protect my wife from these morons). Sometimes I even try to trip the little bastards, or shove a cart at them. What do you expect?? I'M F**KIN EVIL!!!!!!!!!!
Those things are the bane of my existence - here in the UK shopping centres are full of little shits careening around into people, and neither they or their parents have the decency to apologise for their kids being idiots. Every time I see someone sliding around on a pair, I really hope they fall and injure themselves. Painfully.
You folks wishing injuries on the children using them can rest easy -- they've definitely been responsible for some broken bones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heely#Injuries Me, I prefer wishing the injuries on the parents.
my daughter wants them, but heelies are banned at her school and i'm not buying anything she can't wear to school... plus they drive me nuts and she runs around doing carthweels and flips and whatnot whenever we're in public enough as it is without friggin wheels on her shoes. she's also 8, and if she can't ride a bike without wiping out and scraping herself all up on the sidewalk then i don't know what makes her think she'll fare any better with the wheels built into her shoes.
I used to want those, but I decided not to because they just seem annoying to wear, and unless it's an unusually long stretch of straight ground, I'd just walk. I'd rather just keep wheels on shoes in the skaterink
The first time I saw those I was working at the deli. A kid zipped by, but I didn't see his feet, looked like he was floating. I thought I was hallucinating.
My friends in PE have pairs of those for when we run around the double gym during rainy days. We try to get drag races going where one kid pushes the other as fast as they can, whoever hits the foam padded wall at the end of the gym first wins. Its also fun to get a sweatshirt and make the freshmeat pull you around... Don't even get me STARTED on Hallway Skiing. Point in case, you adults love to bitch DN
