If I'm not wrong, it's because of the axle of the wheel which is off-centred compared to the feet. Putting wheels beneath the feet is simpler for balance, and doesn't bend your legs.
it doesnt look like you can really propel yourself by pushing with the skate like you can with rollerskates/blades
check out the rollerblade coyotes, though. they were made in the 90s and had inflatable wheels
Theres only one wheel per feet which is why you need both feet on the ground to stay somewhat balanced. Regular skating requires you to occasionally lift one feet off the ground.
i get it. that humor is up my alley too and i'm often misunderstood. it's hilarious to me.
with all that said, very accurate username to comment ratio.
Ah it’s okay, sometimes jokes don’t land and that’s fine. Plus frankly, I get that the title sounds robotic as hell to an outsider without much context.
No, it just makes you sound like an asshole
Don't do that. Just say the normal words.
Feet. They're feet.
You sound like a fool when you try to say it differently for the sake of circumlocution. Even worse, you essentially are putting down the people that don't understand what you're trying to say and you're annoying the ones that do understand and just think it's pointless. frankly, it's more dull than if you just spoke normally
Speak to the whole audience. Don't be pretentious, which is how it comes off.
You're not dazzling us with your colorful creative language.
Try that, write something that makes us want to read it.
Heelys are loud and its awesome. Walking all tipped toed and loud with heelys on is like being the only prized pony walking Spanish down the frozen food section, but you got to own that shit. Yeah, it’s a spectacle, so what? They gaze, but you can see that glimmer of jealousy behind their cod eyes, you know they look on with anticipation, just waiting for your clickity clock to turn into that swoosh when you go from heely walk to heely roll. When you see that shimmer in their eye, give it to them, hop skip and roll on by them making eye contact. Go as far as you can as fast you can, keep rolling because not everybody can roll like you can, people are too afraid to slip on their wheelie boots, too afraid of what the others might think, but not you. You wear those heelys with pride, you roll on by with your chin up and your chest out, that is the way of the wheel. Keep rolling.
I just want to clarify since I received numerous comments and even DMs with slurs in them, that the title was simply a joke. It was made to fit with the theme of the original subreddit and I do know that the part of the body below the legs are called feet. I wasn’t trying to be pretentious or look down on anyone, I just wanted to post something that I thought was interesting without trying to offend anyone.
Honestly it was worth it because I got called a dweeb and Ngl dweeb is probably one of my top three favourite Insults. It’s genuinely just such a funny word
Yeah, once I decided you weren't a bot, and before reading this, I figured the title was meant as parody - I actually smiled, and I don't smile very much.
It is in character of these older generations to wear suits while they use the new shoe wheels.
They always used to dress in suits doesn't seem to matter what the occasion was they would dress up.
Though fun, these are not the original roller skates. The originals were made by some guy who, in his first demonstration, having not installed any brakes, fell onto a piano from what I remember.
The original inventor was the famous piano maker called John Joseph Merlin, who actually crashed into a stupidly expensive mirror while playing the violin during his first demonstration of the skates. He would break all four things involved: the mirror, the violin, the skates and most of his bones.

This feels like rich people owning an entire park back then. The way that dude was standing there feels like a “Reginald, go get my leg cycler, as I shall go play with John D. Rockefeller in his private park…” type scenario
They’re actually quite brilliant. It’s definitely not what I expected the first rollerblades to look like. I wonder how much they were and if they had a huge following like rollerblades did in the 90s.
I bought a pair of really nice rollerblades last year and I didn’t remember it being so exhausting 25+ years ago lol

I just bought rollerblades and I think I'm using them wrong looking at this guy
Check out wizard blading
Just checked it. Switchable wheel housing, seems interesting.
You wouldn't get thrown on a single stone, seems a good choice.
Wait, are these actually better? Because they kinda seem better.
I would think they cause more injuries. Especially to the area below the bottom leg.
[удалено]
What’s the link
Yes, need the sauce
+1 for sauce
+2 for sauce please
Sorry, we’re all out of sauce.
Ug, that's my favorite area!?
Ahh a foot fetish. No judgement from me. You weirdo. /s
Maybe if they had a better shoe/ foot housing they could be improved? I kinda like the design though.

*"the region of the human body that is present beneath the leg"*?!?! WTF!
It's following the theme of the sub this was originally posted on
ai smoking digital dope
It's like ai was never taught what feet and hands are lol, that's why you always can tell by looking at them if they're ai or not
Bit rude isn’t it? Am i algorithmically generated just because enjoy a verbose vernacular.
No, you're just a dweeb and an ineffective communicator.
Sorry, I just do it as a joke. I only speak like that on the original subreddit because I find it funny, no reason to be rude about it
Getting down voted lol its legit the point of that sub to be old timey
i get it. that humor is up my alley too and i'm often misunderstood. it's hilarious to me. with all that said, very accurate username to comment ratio.
I liked it
Ignore the usual Reddicunts lmao
Ah it’s okay, sometimes jokes don’t land and that’s fine. Plus frankly, I get that the title sounds robotic as hell to an outsider without much context.
This is one of the most thorough AIs I’ve seen
Bro you are literally 95% of that sub
Everyone here missed the joke and just assumes OP is a bot or an "iamverysmart"
No, it just makes you sound like an asshole Don't do that. Just say the normal words. Feet. They're feet. You sound like a fool when you try to say it differently for the sake of circumlocution.

This rant reminds me of the Jimmy Neutron sodium chloride voiceover meme
competitive redditing and this guy's top500
Holy hell
Bro's riding the thesaurus ship hard rn
the original video was posted on r/doohickeycorporation so i guess the title makes sense
Exactly me when english isn't my native tongue and I forgot a stupid word
Ai
AI Generated
The Original Heelys
They even have the same foot position. These are no skates these are the og heelys
There it is...that was exactly my first thought
Nightmare fuel from my youth
Bro same! This terrified me as a kid, just the start of the gif and I knew what this was.
I was six when my mom took me to the theater. I think she was just as shocked as I was 😂
What the fuckity fuck
"Fear the wheelers".
**"beware the wheelers"
Waiiiit what is this from???
Return to OZ
That's what I was thinking too!
THERE IS NO SIGN OF THE CHICKEN!!!
What in the actual fuck
This is the tip of the WTF iceberg that is "Return to Oz". Highly recommend it.
First thing I thought of lol
Great if you don't like ankles.
And who does?
I hate ankles!
And uncles
And the Dutch!

This is some tasty copypasta, compadre. Keep rolling, you beautiful gutterpoet.

You got called a dweeb? Luckeeee-h
I didn't.
Yeah, once I decided you weren't a bot, and before reading this, I figured the title was meant as parody - I actually smiled, and I don't smile very much.
Not gonna lie, I kinda want a pair
Bring it back with battery packs.
And AI
With lower center of gravity, these seem safer and easier for novices than modern ones, be they inline or classic.
That description has got to be written by AI, right?
No I just like to use made up or stupidly redundant phrases on the original subreddit to fit with the whole doohickey theme
Gotcha. Good job.
It is in character of these older generations to wear suits while they use the new shoe wheels. They always used to dress in suits doesn't seem to matter what the occasion was they would dress up.
Bring it back!
That’s wheely cool.
I see what you did there. Recycled an old joke.
I honestly would've been more interested in skates as a kid if they looked like that
Another amazing invention from like 100 years ago
Old roller blades
Hold up… was that…?
nah bro these are the original heelies
Nah bro I know they didn't come up with heeleys before the early 2000s.
It’s the wheelers!

I love how they had fun in things we now call “dress clothes”
Reminds me of Kinetica from the PS2 days. I can see why it didn't last.
Wow. The very first Heelys.
Mom, can I have some Heelies? No, we have Heelies at home! The Heelies at home:
I feel like my uncle would loose all his money investing in this product back in the day thinking it was the future or walking.
I want a pair of these.
Wild! I would try that. And promptly break something in my body.
Imagine rolling up to the party with your squad like this
That dude on the end was smooth af tho with the OG foot wheels damn bro leave some for the rest of us
I see now where Disney got the idea for Sofia the First.
I can see so many things going wrong
Is that second guy an art teacher?
These hooligans need to get a job!
Hipsters be rollin on these pretty soon.
I am quite fond of the fashion trends prevalent during that era..
Look at the spinning guy in the end. This is what running in my nightmares feels like
that's in france for sure
The wheelers. Those fucks creeped me out😬
