Heeleys

Freedom is a Wheel in Your Sole

How to Heel:

  • Find a railing to hang on to. Lift the ball of your foot and find your balance point.
  • Try this on one foot, then repeat with both feet. Begin with your feet together.
  • Step forward, leading with your strong leg, and balance on the heel assembly.
  • While the strong leg is balanced on the heel, use the trailing leg to push your body forward; then quickly lift the ball of your foot and balance on the wheel.
  • Pull yourself along the railing at first, while finding the balance point.
  • To make sure you don't bust, keep your trailing foot directly behind the leading foot.

Hints and tips for starters:

  • Hold a handrail or door jam while finding your balance point.
  • Lock the knee of the trailing foot.
  • Keep one foot directly behind the other.
  • Go over cracks at an angle.
  • To Heel faster run into the motion instead of stepping or pushing.
