When did you see Heelys first time?
May 15, 2007 by vollawetscher

Does anybody have any old press releases/stories/adverts/pictures from the first heelys?? I know many of you don't like HSL and would like to see them take a hit. If you can provide me with such information I can show you what I mean... Thanks!!!

I'd ask Derek about the very first Heelys. But before asking him, ask some of the people at www.heelytalk.com. Some Team Heelys members dwell there and they would know better than us.

I only remember a commercial where some kid was fooling around with his scooter, and the kid with heelys put out his wheels in like seconds. I found it kind of funny at the time lol.

The first time i saw Heelys?

hmmm, 8th grade....sum kid had them and i thought they were those Scechers with the wheels in them...

"So Gay", i thought

No wait, i think i thought the floor was wet, until he started walking and it was clicking, then i thought it was gay

Very good info, thanks! Do you remember when that was? When did you see the Skechers shoes with the wheel in the heel? I would need anything that proofs that those shoes were out there before May 1999 (printed stuff, affidavit, shoe whatever....)

It wasnt a shoe in the heel dude. It was two sets of wheels that you could click in or out. It had two sets of wheels in each foot. Toe and Heel, so that you could actually rollerskate around, no weight shifting

Yeah man, those I remember. They were always knicking Razor scooters in those ads. It pissed me off sorta.

*knocking

Anyone who knocks Razor scooters (or any xtreme scooter for that matter) obviously doesnt see the skill in doing tricks

They were all like "Razors have to be ClUmSlY unfolded but with GENERIC WHEEL SHOE you can push the button and BE OFF!" I was going to attack the T.V. I should bring my Razor to the demo, I can jump prety high.

First time I ever saw them? 8th grade I went to Washington DC and was skating in the Potomic mall VANS skatepark and these teens had them... the next day before I came back to GA I dropped $100 for my pair.... a Size 9 heely.. the colors where silver/black and the heelys logo had an orange H... the last pair I owned where solid black. Just got rid of em.

HSL is a great company for making both SOAPS and HEELYS.

In third grade about, ehhhhh, eight years ago when one of my friends came in school with yet another broken bone. We were all....
"What did you do this time?!"
He replied
"Heelys."
