As someone who wore heelies for years. It still angers me deeply how few people who wear them actually know how tp fucking use them well at all.
It's just the most unathletic kids with no sense of balance barely able to go in a straight like for like 3 feet and run into everything.
Someone who's actually good with them can move fluidly quickly and stop on a dime. You should NEVER be at risk of running into someone even if your going quickly.
You can literally do a glorified pirouette and disperse your momentum basically in under a quarter of a foot even from the equivalent of a sprint in terms of speed. Drop your toes shift your center of gravity back and slightly towards your dominant foot and spin. You will slide forward slightly while spinning toward the heel of your dominant foot. Your momentum will make it want to shove you down into your foot keeping you planted and prevents you from falling over.
