Don't Be Cocky

The Heelying Golden Rule is to Not be Cocky

 It happens far to often... i see someone in the street or on a video, using heelys and they are trying things outside of their ability.

As a beginner, you will do simple things such as putting your hands out when you first go into a glide or having your legs quite far apart. These happen naturaly because your brain is telling you that you can't do it without losing your balance. Beginners often try and correct them to try and make themselves seem more stylish on their Heelys, two things: you look rigid not stylish and you're putting yourself in danger because your off balance.

 There is a good chance you are asking yourself: "how can I improve without pushing myself?" Well here's the thing, you can push yourself and should, but not in a street or on a video where your trying to show off because your probably going too fast and there may be other dangers (cars, sticking out objects, ect) also wear proper safety equipment (helmet & pads).

Some things, such as the examples above, don't come by trying to do things you can't, they come from practicing (as they are to do with balance). These type of things should be obvious.

Very True. I've seen alot of the 12 year old kids go in to the mall, buy a pair of Heelys and assume they are the best because they have a pair of roller blades. They slip them on and right when they walk out with the wheels... Wham!. I've had mine for a week and I still don't try to force myself to be the best already.
i agree

Can some one post some insructions on how to roll backwards and how to go from rolling fowards to rolling backwards coz im havin some trouble learning to do it

Rolling backwards...lets see. I start with my dominant (front) foot in front of my non dominant (back) foot. I push off with my back foot, and move my forward foot backwards. This will change your footing, and you will be riding switch, but this is how I heel backwards.  
 
And forwards to backwards...Really the only thing I can think of doing is a 180 and you will end up backwards...

i think its necessary to push yourself... without pushing myself, i wouldnt be able to do any grinds or other tricks 
 
BUT you have to know that the trick youll try is possible and you must have no fear... if you have doubts about something... dont do it, try to learn step by step and loose your fear step by step ;)
