Q&A for How to Use Your Heelys

Because you're not stable with your balance. Try to start again holding onto a table or person to get used to your balance.

Lean your body to the side you want to turn to. But don't lean too much, otherwise you'll fall on your side and it'll be painful.

Do it over and over again until you feel safe, then push off harder than you did before. This should give you a better and faster speed.

You can control your speed by lightly dragging your foot on the ground to slow down or stop. Doing this every few seconds can help maintain a certain speed if you want to avoid going faster.

It sounds as though your foot is too far forward. Try moving your front foot back a bit.

Use the tool that came with your shoes. Stick it under the wheel and the wheel will pop out. If you don't have the tool, you can use anything that will fit in the space between the wheel and the sole. Stick the object in the gap between the wheel and the sole and press down on the end; this will cause the wheel to pop out.

Because when the heelys are level, you lose balance. Try putting one foot in front of the other and if you lose balance, then put all your weight onto your toes.

The same way you start walking; you might be finding it hard to do this if you aren't able to balance yourself. So maybe start standing straight by holding on to a table and learning how to balance yourself first.

It's very hard to ride on uneven terrains. Try and lean forward a tiny bit and if you go at a particular speed (no faster than running) you will go over bumps more easily.

Definitely! You have to be a little careful, so you don't knock anything over, run into anything, or scratch the floors. This would only work on hard floors, not carpet, and if you're a kid, make sure you have permission first.

No, it won't. Do it as many times as you like, but make sure that you're putting the wheel back into the socket properly.

Yes, your friend could help, you but make sure they don't push you because it can make you lose your balance.

You put it in with your hand, push hard and then and stomp on it. Then you will be ready to Heely.

Slowly turn your preferred leg (whichever is forward) right, then twist your body until your shoes are at a 180-degree angle. Finally, twist your body as far as it will go, and once again turn your feet until you've completed the 360.

That is the worst thing you can do. It will throw you off balance, and you will crash nose first. Or you will go faster then you can run, and won't be able to stop.

It is possible but dangerous.

Lean the way you want to turn.

Yes. They can be a little difficult to start for beginners, but the more you practice, the easier it gets for you.

Remove the wheels, wash inside the space carefully, and wash the wheels themselves. If they still stick, use a bit of WD-40 on the axles. Vegetable oil will also work, but not as well.

Hold onto a rail, that's really helpful. You could also try holding onto a friend, if the person has good balance themselves.

Keep trying, because practice will help you get better.

If you lean forward, it means you haven't got your balance yet. Keep practicing. Even go back to a table if you have to.

You could get hit by a car or run into one if you lose control. Try to stay on sidewalks, as you would when walking normally.

Wear the protective gear and sometimes if you're training a beginner you can drag them along while you walk.

Keep one foot on the ground and push off with the other when you are ready.

Stand straight, don't lean forward, and concentrate on where you are going. Don't panic.

It's different for every person and depends on how much you practice, but you should be able to learn in 2 - 3 days.

Yes, but only when you get used to the heelys and you want to go a little faster.

Try to avoid them or step over them and continue.

See Step 2. Basically, you push the wheel in until you hear a click.
