i'd imagine that the ad's are auto generated by google, so the more time people write the word heelys, mention heelys, talk about heelys, bitch about heelys, discuss heelys, ask questions about heelys, or start thread such as this about heelys, the more likely it is that the adverts will be about heelys....
....
....
.......heelys :P
Google adds work based on the keywords, but since no one is signed up that sell soap shoes, well, you can see why there arent any SOAP ads.
As for Heelys, i dont hate them, but i really really dislike how little they do for SOAPs, they say we don't sell a lot, well they never gave us any adequate advertising, how the heck are we suppose to get the word out to others if we don't have any means of advertising or budget. We don't make a lot of money off selling soaps, and we dont have size 13 nor any new models. Just really frusterating.
I won't say anything about Heely since I have never tried them. Although I have seen a few kids with those kind of shoes a few times a year back and thought "What kind of crazy shoe contraption are they wearing?"
SapAuthor,
yeah, but the problem is....they don't want to invest any money in soaps. I saw a bunch of previews of commercials last weekend for heelys advertising mostly the grind plate.
iwant,
b/c heelys are still different than blades in so many ways.
matrix,
my main thing with blades is "oh, that's cool....but why not take a couple of those wheels out?"
the point is it's a different thing than blading. The main reason I heel instead of blade is b/c it takes so long to take your blades off when you're done skating.
Rhino,
well.....there's about 4-5 disney demos planned within this year....
apparently they think express is enough.
As i said, mainly Heelys are for kids. It's their market. Concept was good, but it just comes down to the fact that only Kids want them. You want to be able to move fast and still be able to enter stores and stuff, get a pair of xsjado like i did, the aggressive inline sk8 with the foot wrap so you just take off the sk8 shell when u want to go inside.
Kain, I don't know why you persist, now it's just getting kind of annoying you trying to convert everyone when no one really wants to. Some ppl hate heelys with a passion, some don't mind, but eitherway i doubt hardly anyone on here who isn't a heeler will want to start.
I just got hte basics, but they work well, except the only complaint is they don't allow the wheel to stick out much, so you can't go at much of an angle to get some powerful push offs, and the frame doesn't allow for larger wheels than what's on there. I can always switch out a new frame though if necessary.
Sap,
I've said this in another thread, but...
I'm not trying to get ppl to heel. I'm just defending myself b/c everyone attacks me for it.
Wyatt,
yeah, I have. I quit b/c it got boring. I also tried skateboarding, and didn't like it either. We all have our different skate sports....mine are heeling, soaping, and freelining.
Kain, if your getting attacked for talking about heelys, then just talk about soaps or stop talking. I know your trying to build the bridge between heelys and soaps, but its only getting worse.
i miss my old shoes. lol all u do is press 2 buttons, and fwop! 2 wheels pop out. i had so much fun with those. theres this metal thing that pops out in between the wheels connecting them so i could always grind with those shoes. ahhh... good times. i think HSL should try sumthing like that!
Those look nice, but are there any good ones u can do just 2 wheels? I only have enough good bearings for 4 wheels :P also like the idea of 4 wheels instead of 8. Or can you just only put in 4 wheels even though it's made for 8 and get the same effect?
there except that my shoes 2 wheel were connected my a metal bar, and when u push the wheels in, the bar has it s own pocket to go insde.
btw who els got a list of google ads that advertised actual soap, instead of the shoes? i lol'd
there are some frestyle frames like the xsjado ones, but if u want, you dont have to put in the middle wheels and it's still considered a freestyle setup, or better yet put in anti-rocker wheels in the middle, they are made of plastic and not urethane, they slide on ledges real good, i cant grind ledges with all 4 wheels, so i use antirockers, they are also smaller than urethane wheels and arent meant to touch the ground, they are good for locking in, and many antirockers dont use bearings since they arent meant to roll.
sometimes i switch from anti to freestyle, but i perfer anti, they dont add to much weight, and besides my TRS DT4's are lightweight, so it's all good.

my main thing with heely's is "oh, that's cool...but...why not just blade?"
but i'm not knocking it. if it's what you (not you as in Kain, but you as in anyone)
i used to knock it. because i just assumed it was bad...but then i was like "well...what's so bad about heeling..." blah blah blah.
i'm sleepy. going to sleep.

And...what was with that whole Disney Demo? What about Soaps, they are still a product, right? I'd like to see a little equality.
