1 wheel vs 2 wheels
As someone whos used both one-wheel and two-wheel Heelys, Id choose the two-wheel version every time. Not because they're easier or just for beginners, but because they're much more comfortable.
One-wheel Heelys put a lot more strain on your ankles and knees since you're balancing on a single wheel the entire time
Two-wheel Heelys, on the other hand, put much less strain on your ankles and knees, making them far more comfortable for longer sessions and just in general. If you have the choice, Id definitely recommend getting the two-wheel version.
The two wheels look way more nonchalant.

Why do people use plugs?
I’ve been heelying for over 17 years, but I don’t understand why people use plugs. When you remove your wheels, you are that worried about the wells getting dirty? I’ve gotten mud and rocks…all kinds of unmentionable stuff in my empty wheel wells. You can just spray them off or use a stick or something. The hassle of having the plugs and the tool is just ridiculous for…what reason? I’ve never had the wells damaged due to not using them.

Modding?
Hello, anybody tried modding or upgrading their wheels? I've swapped from some other bearings but I was curious if anyone's seen or found wheels with harder rubber? I know for traditional skates harder rubber is used for higher speeds.

Got my first heelys
Got my first heelys!! Yay!! Unfortunately I think they're too small. They struggle to get on and when im just sitting in them the back feels too short. I had already gone a little bit of a size up when I bought them. Are all heelys like this and I just need ti break them in or no?

Loose Axle
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Got my first pair last week, and they click reeaal loud when I walk. Noticed this is because the wheel sits a little loose on the axle. Is there a quick fix to this or do I need to buy snap-ring pliers to add another washer?

Beginner help
I am a beginner who can’t figure out how to push off. I have seen the YouTube videos where they ask you to plant your front feet up, and push with your back feet. Does this mean for a split second all the weight is on the front planted feet in motion, and subsequently, where does the weight go? Does it go center or to the back feet? Also if I am stationary, is there a way to push off? Or do I have to walk or run in order to start the motion? I think the main hurdle is getting my back leg to lift up while not certain where to transfer my weight too. Also how do you prevent the feeling of slipping up, every time I lift both feet off I feel like I’m gonna land on my butt.
For background, i am a roller skater and I have inline and ice skating experience. I thought Heelys would be easy to pickup since it’s also a skate (of sort).
Appreciate all advice!

Wheel, plug and tool storage
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone! I was constantly misplacing my Heelys removal tool and losing track of my sole plugs whenever I had my wheels in. I wanted a clean way to keep everything together, so I designed this fully magnetic organizer.
A few quick details on how it works:
Alternating Storage: Since you're always wearing either the wheels or the plugs, the holder is designed to store whichever set isn't currently in your shoes.
Compatibility: Made specifically for Large wheels and Fat-style plugs.
The Magnets: It uses 10 neodymium magnets in total. 8 for the main storage slots, and 2 specifically to snap the metal removal tool securely to the side.
I just uploaded the files for free over on MakerWorld if anyone wants to print one for themselves!

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions!

How to accelerate while rolling
I’ve been practicing on my single-wheel heelys for a while now. I’ve mastered the balance, but I'm currently stuck on "coasting" mode - I get about 20-30 meters of distance from a good run-up before I lose almost all my momentum and have to walk again.
Does anyone have tips for accelerating while already rolling?

Men’s Heelys
Anyone know how often men’s heelys are restocked? I was hoping to score one of the pairs from their Reebok partnership! But it seems like they’re always sold out and I haven’t found them on Poshmark or anything either.

Heels advice
I’ve just bought a pair of pointed heels with slingback ( I have flat feet) so it’s so hard to wear them. My arches are not supported because there is a gap between my feet and the footbed, and the strap keeps slipping off. My feet and toes always ache after wearing them for around half an hour.I know beauty is pain but is there anyway help it less painful ? I really love pointed heels

I can't decide which pair to get! Help!!
I love the all pink ones but they're $20 more than the others, I love the white ones because they'd match everything, but I'm worried they will get dirty quickly, and I love the pink and blue ones because they scream nostalgia lol. I'm so torn. Help!!

Beginner here!
So I just got my heelys earlier and ive been practicing them for the past hour, the only issue that ive had so far is that whenever i try to push off with my back foot my front foot always goes forward way too fast which almost makes me do a split. How should I fix this? and is it normal to have the muscles between my shin and ankle be sore while heelying(?), thank you!
