We could have put money on the fact that most of us thought we would never see a person seemingly gliding down the street, not moving their feet without the help of a rollerblade. Well, it happened! And thanks to American, Roger Adams for putting the fear of god in us and leaving the world thinking that ghosts were sliding around among us, Heelys came into the spotlight and suddenly everyone wanted a pair!
And why not? This genius idea came to Adams after watching kids skating down Huntington Beach, he thought attaching a wheel to everyday shoes that allowed you to move just by shifting your body weight may just take off. So, dissecting an old pair of Nike’s with a knife and an old skateboard wheel, Adams got his Frankenstein on and the prototype Heely was born. Years later and with millions of pairs sold, Harpoon Louie’s have the latest Heelys for you to get tricking in. With ‘Heeling’ a now classed as an extreme sport what are you waiting for? Get your Heelys on!
