I thought that we discussed the then imagined -but -not- real Heely-Crocs last year on our Heely thread, this is proof that the Heely execs are reading this board and purposely trying to irritate us! :mad:
Not to mention, stealing our ideas!
:flybongo: NO BULL!!!!!:D:

Today, while walking down a ride ramp exit...I had the joy of having a wheelie child go, "Excuse me" as they continued to push their way down the ramp.
I stopped him. Mention how easy it is to break BONES doing that. He looked me stunned and his parents were no where to be found....
I HATE HEELIES....
Thanks for listening to my vent...
I'm not a tourist cause I work there...

Good job! I always do the whole "Please No Skating!" on the Land ramp but no one listens to me. Then a kid will fall, skin his knee and parents will say it's our fault the ramp is too steep...
WHAT?!?!?!?!
Another example of nature "thinning out the herd".

I have an idea. What if, to increase traction on sloped pathways, the slope was covered by a series of close spaced metal pipes across the path (with a slight gap between them) with the pipes inset into the walk so the surface remains at a constant slope. Like a cattle guard gate as is used in western pasture land. Anything with large wheels like an ECV or WC would handle it easily, but heelies would slip into the gap. Possibly even snapping the wheels off the shoes if they get twisted sideways.
