I've seen a bunch of younger kids with them on. They look interesting, but the kids haven't a clue how to use them correcty. They're more of a hazard then anything else, so are those Razor things. I keep seeing kids flying all over the place with those, and crashing most of the time. I've seen only a few kids with a helmet or other gear on, which is good. The majority just keep getting more and more cuts, scars and bruises.

haha, i've seen kids in the malls use them. on the escalator, too, holding their parent's hand. i'm just waiting for one of them to get hurt in the mall. man, they need to ban those things in the mall, one almost ran into me. =P i think they're a really cute idea, but kids are just abusing that product. i'd get one if i were a kid......

oh wait....i am still a kid....

i wish! :p

I have a pair of heelys. They only have one wheel in each heel ( thus the name :D) you walk normal on the then run two steps and get on your heel and roll. They are great cuz ppl are like " That person was just walking and now suddenly rolling???"

...but I lost one wheel when I wanted to clean them up last summer - I have to buy an extra one.
