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.

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.

I’m guessing the black parts slide like wax? For ‘grinding’ without a board?

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

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…

They are also called Grindshoes. I also never had one of these but I am also thinking about buying a pair.

Never heard of these so i searched a bit.

Looks about the same

Are you listening to The Adventure Zone, per chance?

I only know they exist because of SA
