I'll debate you on the RipStik comment. Freeskates are very different and you aren't going to just hop on them and start going if you've used a RipStik before. However, I do think that some of the skills translate, specifically the fact that you have to learn to operate your feet independently. Turning also feels familiar on freeskates. I felt like having previously learned how to use the RipStik helped at least overcome some of the more unusual sensations from using freeskates compared to something like a skateboard or inline skates.

I learned how to freeskate and i would definitely say it was worth the time to learn it. You can take these anywhere and just cruise around. Perfecf for transportation and fun. Yall should definitely try it. (I would recommend getting cheaper freeskates before getting jmks because the learning curve that may be brought upon you)

I went straight to jmk free skates, as soon as I seen them a few months ago I knew I wanted a pair. And I knew I anted to get the best ones possible

Just one point on about 'dangerous' part. It always been said that you can hop off anytime, it's not attached to you but in reality it needs practice because you moving while you are standing aside and cannot react fast or put the right leg in front or back like you can you in inline stating. Don't know if skateboards have the similar situation, didn't ride them. So even on a slight move you are falling on a side and can hurt shoulder, elbow, pelvis, maybe even knee if turn be 'lucky'. So just try hop of like right before the grass or something, it need practice.

I only got those cheap ones - I was weigthing around 320lbs and lost 120 of it while doing that "sport" and some other things - yeah the bearings are crap - a big problem is in germany to get new wheels. my skates were like 30€ and new wheels would be around 80€ - total nonsense -

I think if i was able to learn to ride those cheap ones - the jmks should be a pure joy - I'm definitly going to get some JMKs - good to have the "real" thing back on the market :)

I don't get why people think freeskates are expensive. Compared to other forms of skating it seems on par to me.
I got a custom set of freeskates for $130
A pro deck skateboard here in Australia goes for $110 - $130
Cheap roller/inline skates, $100 and up. Decent skates, $400 and up
When you look at it that way, it doesn't sound too expensive to me

i just bought a pair here! i am from Vancouver BC Canada. i bought the cheap ones as my first time i gave them away now these are coming!

By looking on the map it seems I’m the only person in Far North Queensland Australia who knows how to free skate

Do people ever put grip on their edge guards? I just got some after a year of skating without any, and I feel my feet slipping off the edges a lot more, especially if there’s any moisture on my shoes from stepping in wet grass or something

[БумагиПожалуйста]

regarding "are edge guards necessary?"

I have opposite opinion as these are actually mandatory to learn free skates faster. At first I chose not to buy edge guards with my free skates however later when I received them and started to learn I found myself losing balance way too often and in the end I have made a conclusion that I could've avoided most of learning curve if I could stand on skates more confidently due to increased surface area and rubber edges on which my shoes would have a good grip on

These look really interesting just for cruising around. Coming from skateboarding, is it possible to hop up a curb with these? It seems to me like you can't really jump on or over obstacles, right? Is there a version with straps over the feet that allow you to jump?

Two questions:
1. Is the CNC metal foot plate cheaper than wood like a skateboard deck?
2. When's your next sale 😅 I've been convinced, but it's winter up here 🍁 and there's salt everywhere, so I can wait a bit.
3. ⛸️ Ice freeskates?

[oneMeVz]

I just bought my first pair yesterday!
My feet are about average shoe-size, but I feel a lot is hanging off of the edges. Is there anything wrong with switching skates and aligning my feet corner-to-corner?

[alvinagbayani]

Hi I want to buy one but idk what is better, wood or metal/aluminum

[AbsolutelyNothing]

I have a question: I want to get free skates but I don't know if I will give up or not and I don't want to give so much money just for em to give up but it seems worth it

[danparish]

How do you avoid cracks? Seems like it requires perfectly flat surfaces.

[leslynpunla]

aa bro how to buy freeskate in pilipines andd must it i wanna to buy it but i am kid😅😅

[SnoAtHome]

My question is do the wheel shape matter? Some are flat while some are round right?

[Lycanta]

I wish i could ride this on the street. But in Germany its a toy so it is illegal to ride them on public grounds.
