...skate on one rear wheel, the company cherry-picks a handful of cool kids, "like school athletes," in selected schools to join Team Heelys. These paid performers demo the shoes at malls, concerts and sporting events, and they also chat up Team Heelys wannabes on the Heelys website, generating cred and buzz...

Those skeptical of the street cred of an organization that also manages the National Museum of American History should note the exhibit’s coy subtitle riff on the title of A Tribe Called Quest’s second-worst album.
