The Road To Heelys Pro Series

Many heelers have eagerly been awaiting the arrival of the Pro Series. The Pro Series are in a style of Heelys known as Mega-Grind, a shoe with a Mega wheel and grind plate.  Before the Pro were the Torches and before Torches were the Evolutions, the first pair of Mega-Grind Heelys. Mega-Grind Heelys are the preferred style for many heelers and the only style suitable for vert skating. After the Torches became discontinued in early Summer 07 they became very scarce but could still be found on some retailer's websites. Overtime they became even harder to find based on the size you wanted. Size 12 went away first followed by 11 and so on. Now they are nearly impossible to find except in small sizes and on ebay. In January 2008 members of Heelychat.com received a letter from then CEO of Heelys Mike Staffaroni. It stated that a new Mega-Grind model was scheduled to be released June 08. This Mega-Grind model was the Pro Series. As you know the Pro Series are yet to be released. It was later expected that they would be released in October but did not make it. They could be relased this month but may not appear until as late of March of 09, 9 months after their expected release date. In the past few months some members of Team Heelys have received pairs of the shoe which may be an indication that it is coming soon. They also appeared on Heelys.com a few months ago. All the styles present on Heelys website have been released with the exception of the Pro Series. Hopefully we will see them soon.
