I was wondering if these were going to be any good. I would like some to wear to the movie theater, that would be awesome. Our movie theater has a long hill perfect for heeling. Very Happy

What I was wondering was if anyone was going to buy them when they become available. I think I will, if they're reasonably priced.

I will get them just because they "look" pimp on the commercials... I doubt they will have any real glow and will probably loose their appeal after the first couple of runs but I am thinking of investing in them and doing some street skating at dark... I'm hoping it will look pretty wild without* editting...

*Key word

i thought those were over liek some independant person was going to make them, but they never came out when we first heard about them earlier this year, we asked when theyd come out and he said in a couple of months....its been a couple of months y'know....

I had to vote "What are they?" since I've seen no commercials, but now that I've scoured the net and found out what they are I could change my vote to a yes - as knowing me I'd buy them even if I didn't have a heely they'd fit.

On the pics I've seen it looks like they're just in FATs and I generally use mega's, but even so, I'd still buy them. And they say they'll be ABEC-5, which is a pity because they also look like 688 bearings, which are more of a pain because most of my better bearings are 608's, but never mind.

Also a pity that they used flashing LEDs - If I got a pair I might have to start cracking them open and changing that, I'd much prefer a constant glow.

So, once someone sees them being sold for real, please let us know Wink

I hope they really do come out, and they really do sell (to people not affiliated with HeelyChat) so they can make some new colors... I love Blue (it will match everything) but I would love to see some green, yellow, and red... I think white would also be a kick ass color to have...

@Merrie, we asked about the megas, and they said if they sell well enough then theyll start making them for different wheel type (reall just talking about megas or 2x2's but 2x2's and originals are just different sized fats) and when it comes to fats i like 688 more the 608, the ride isn't as rough because theres more wheel between the bearings and the aprt that touches the ground making the ride so much smoother compared to how little wheel there is on the 608's. And yeah i'd totally want some green ones for my clutches. that would look awesome.

would be cool if you wear one color in each shoe, white and blue would look nice.

Some guy on the comments for the youtube vid claims to have got some on Las Vegas . . . you reckon they are on sale or it's BS?

He might have... Las Vegas is a great place to try out a new product being the entertainment capital of not only the US, but the world.

The dude who made Blitz probably has a vendor shop open somewhere out there where he sold prototype or even the real deal wheel to see how the market is for it...

It could be horse shit, but it is possible...
