Yes - I'm teaching them.

It's going to be massive here - our first session is set for January
14th (right after xmas) and we've said we'd close the doors after 100
people!

I've got a couple of instructors helping me out and until now I thought
I was the only person (instructor) in the world, bothering to teach it.

See www.sk8school.co.uk for what we're up to!

Certainly if you type heelys lesson into any search engine - I'm the
first (and often only) thing that comes up.

The phones been buzzing and the mails are piling up so I think a 100
people door close is a good idea!

As for teaching it - we're basically going to go through the manual
(heelys video manual on the web) - help them out a bit then do some
games. Later we'll go through some of the tricks possible (we can barrel
roll in them for instance). Though my MAIN idea is to use the last 10
minutes of the session to show everyone the "upgrade" for heelys IE
skates - and look at what you can do in them! ... which is my whole
reason for doing it.

Basically this is a captive sales pitch to 100 people we normally might
not see.
Sounds like a plan!
