Watch this guy pull off a sweet Eurostep wearing Heelys

Heelys may be the new revolution on the hardwood.

Over a decade ago, Heelys were all the rave for kids in elementary schools across the country. Along with the fun of riding around on Heelys came the important element of skill and balance that made them easy to own but difficult to master.

Due to the dangers of the sneakers, they quickly dissolved out of favor and were even banned by places across the country. That doesn’t mean the brand has gone away or that people stopped riding them. Turns out, they have some pretty awesome uses too, just like this guy displayed with a smooth Eurostep on the basketball court.

The technique here is quite impressive. The ballhandler slides up past half-court, hits the brakes just outside the arc and beautifully works around a screen to drive to the basket. He hops back on the wheels again, setting himself up to weave right around his defender with the Eurostep, capping it off with the reverse lay-in.

You be the judge, is sliding on Heelys a travel?

That’s all well and good, but is that a travel though? The referees on the court clearly didn’t think so, but the fan in the stands yelling “REF!” disagreed. He’s right too, dragging the feet should be called. The officials may have been too impressed by the moves to make the call.

All the credit to this man for his skill on wheels, showing just how difficult it is to master Heelys. So let’s heed the age-old advice of “Don’t try this at home,” or in this case, on the hardwood.
