How to Heely: Master the Glide
Ready to roll? Learning the signature glide is a rite of passage for anyone stepping into a pair of Heelys trainers. While it looks like magic, mastering the movement is all about finding the right balance and shifting weight to the heels.
To learn how to use Heelys, start by finding a smooth, flat surface. Put your favourite foot forward, lift the toes slightly, and give a gentle push off the back foot to transition into a smooth coast. Stopping is just as simple: lean back on the heels or put the toes down to bring the journey to a safe, controlled halt.
