OK Grans. I desperately want to learn how to use my Heelys (trainers with wheels in the sole). How the heck do you learn how to do it? The You Tube videos make it look easy, it's not! It would be great exercise if I could just get going. Any tips for the more mature Heeler? It can't be THAT difficult?

I can just about get around in my sandals because I've a feeling they may be slippery, given the wrong flooring.
Good luck with your quest though!

Ask the gc to show you. My 4 gds all have them and scoot about with ease. Good luck.

I didn't know they made them in adult sizes!

Children can't explain how to do it, they just do it! I needed a grown - up grin

It must be one of those things that just click, I remember my granddaughters staggering around the kitchen, hanging on to each other, now they wizz around everywhere

Younger people seem to bounce easier, so I would be inclined to leave it to them!

Now I have a vision of trying to avoid grannies, heeling and wobbling around the supermarkets. ?
We have enough trouble avoiding the speedy young ones!
(children, that is, not young grannies)
