It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Yeah, kinda seems like you'd be better off with roller skates, roller blade, or even heelies

So many Heelies could be had for the same money as this product, and still trounce it in the downhills haha

I've never used Heelies before, but was fascinated as a kid. Where would one try Heelies or buy them nowadays?

I've also never used them, but fondly recall the sight of fellow middle school students dashing down a hall. It looks like the Heelys website sells them, but it may be difficult to find the shoes in a brick-and-mortar shoe store, if those stores even exist still.
