Do you guys just always heel and then dont if they tell you not too?

I've only been told to stop at Game Crazy and the mall once. The mall I honestly think was just a heely hater because it was a security guard and I've done it infront of plenty others before. Game Crazy was some idiot that's like "I dont want you knocking anything over." Evil or Very Mad

I think people have a hard time telling me not too since I look like an adult.

i just stop and sometimes i forget they told me to stop and start again.

like the other day at sams, i heeled past the managers office and no one said anything then i was heeling in an aisle and some lady told me to stop.

about 30 mins later i realized hey wait.....the manager didnt say anything....so i started skating again, i didnt get called out after that.

Any grind models or just FATS and no grindplates??

For some reason, nobody cares at my costco. Me and my friend go there just to skate sometimes. It's kinda funny, some people that work there are like "man, I wish I had some heelys..." and some have threatened to take ours and use them, but never told us to stop.

It all depends on how fast you're going.

Yep. My brother saw them at Costco yesterday. $45. A bargain. Not sure which sizes though.

When I get told to stop, it's usually at K-mart or some kind of clothing store where there's a lot of employees and people. It's a comfort issue for people. Speedsters make the public nervous. No matter what you're riding in a store Wink

yeah most of the time i get stopped its bc im either speeding down the isles or seeing how long i can footy Very Happy

..but if im just rolling they usually dont say anything

Just yesterday i went to Costco and i was heeling when they told me to stop. I DON'T GET IT.

Honestly I think the majority of the time, it's the stupid person telling you not too cause they dont like heelys. I doubt much of any businesses have actually gotten word from their corporate offices that kids are not to be heeling in their stores.

I have another theory. Have you noticed it's usally old people that stop you. I think they are jealous because if they tried they would have a broken hip. Smile

Actually yes, I have noticed it's almost exclusively old people that stop me. I think it's because most people my age or close to my age dont want to actually come up to me and tell me to stop.
