never had 'em growing up, but now as an adult I want a pair
Every once in a while, as an out of shape guy in my 30s, I think about buying myself a pair of heelys.
Was never a skater, never really had much interest in them as a kid, but something about the idea of rolling around in Costco while I do my grocery shopping appeals to me.
Allow me to introduce you to the best documentary you will ever watch, Soap or Die. self-funded by the world’s last surviving 90s Guy and soap shoe fanatic. 20 minutes of pure joy.
Oh my god this xslayer shit
I’m guessing the black parts slide like wax? For ‘grinding’ without a board?
I had them! Hurt myself plenty…
They are also called Grindshoes. I also never had one of these but I am also thinking about buying a pair.
They were big with the rollerblade community as it was a way to grind rails without rollerblades. I was in the skater / rollerblade clique in my HS and they were relatively popular. Since I had the coordination of a 2 legged cow I went for heelys. I was cool in my own mind at least…
Are you listening to The Adventure Zone, per chance?
Never heard of these so i searched a bit.
I only know they exist because of SA
