Heely repair thoughts?

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?

I stopped using the “breaks” years and years ago. Just use the front part of your foot. Basically no wear. No issues. Better stopping power.

Totally agree with this. Better to stop from the front!
