if your foot is scraping it is probably to far back just push your toes closer to the ground until the noise stops and try to hold your foot there. |

Try not to scrape your heel. Just practice and it will go away.
Also, as the back wears down, it will be easier to not scrape.
Finally, if you eventually move to MegaWheels, the height of the wheel will be higher.

| im also new to heelys. i have the same problem as you. after a while i got ahold of my new heelys, but my front foot stills rubs on the ground and prevents me from going fast and it ruins my balance. its not as bad on really smooth surfaces but its annoying! id appreciate any tips. thx. |
