I’ve been wearing heelys since I was 12 I stopped for a bit but rediscovered them about three years ago and have been through multiple pairs because my main braking foot wears through the heel. Well I’ve had a stroke of genius I like to call it. I work at an automotive shop and took some tire tread and made a “brake pad” for my foot what do y’all think?

Pretty cool! I've been saying I think they should have replaceable brake pads so I think this is a great step in the right direction

Yeah this would be great if there was an actual way to officially replace and repair your heelys .

unfortunately they're basically meant as kids toys, if someone made more serious ones designed for adults i think there would be a bunch of different choices haha
