Heelys
(Skate shoes)
Have you ever seen one of those commercials for Heelys? Have you seen how the people are jumping and spinning everywhere? It makes it look fun and easy! Right? It makes you want to get a pair! Right? But have you tried them? Do you have a friend who has them? If so, ask them if it was as easy as it looks. Because, guess what, the people on the commercial have had months upon months of practice. I asked my friends who have them, and it took 2 to 4 months to get it down. I tried a friend's pair and I fell over 5 times! One friend I asked about them is great at running, ice skating, anything that has to do with feet and athletics but, get this, it took her 4 tries to move 3 feet… with training wheels in! But Heelys aren't the only commercials that don't tell the whole of it. So next time you see an advertisement for anything, even a hamburger, think about what what it might actually be like before you get one!
