I've never been a skater of any kind, i mean ive roller bladed donw the quads and such played on boards but something about these free skates are really really callig to me. But what actually brought me down here to leave a comment is, i havent even gotten a pair yet but these videos you guys are making makes me feel like i could be part of this community and even at 30 years old i can jump on these and not be mocked or anything. You guys seem chill as hell and i cant wait to get my first pair... and inevitable eat it on the pavement. But imma try damn it!

This type of video (story about wiping out, how you learned from it, what others can learn from it) is really informative and valuable.

Got my JMK's 2 weeks ago and am trying to learn from others' slips and falls just as much as my own!

Did the same thing, same kind of injury, also at night. Something about these crashes makes you slap your entire body straight into the street. Hurts like heck, but you're way less likely to break bones with the damage distributed evenly like that.

Man. I have a few good fall stories. Luckily I've gotten smarter and learned where to put my weight and how to fall better.

Once, I was skating with a buddy on some paths of a community college campus. It was my first time to skate there. I made a fatal mistake of looking far up the path where there was a patch of loose leaves. While I focused on that, I totally missed a bump or snag where I was, and had a fun wipeout to knock the air right out of me. Moral of the story. Keep eyes on the near field rather than focusing farther away.

Sorry you fell gabe. I've fallen trying to learn my freeskates, and got scrapped up pretty bad. Hit the ground pretty hard too. Not fun. But it is part of learning.

If you need to skate at night holding your phone flashlight in front of you on max pointed at the ground in front of you might be just enough lightning to help, Ideally just don't skate when you can't see well but sometimes you just send it.

Had a fall on Onewheel once.. vision went white.

Been running over sticks and obstacles with these things like it was nothing, until I didn't... same exact feeling of simply suddenly laying on the ground scraped up, had a 2 mile trip back home and had to tough it out. Inevitably I hopped back on them to get home quicker even bleeding and all, learned nothing.

And on queue a gnarly crack. Great job showing how you can run out of those (hopefully lol)

[MinhTranVlog]

Can you try to skating in San Fransicco :D

No views in 25 seconds, bro fell off HARD

Do you think shark wheels would work well on freeskates for sidewalks or more rough paths?

I'm just learning right now, and yesterday I was practicing and took a fall. I've fallen before, and to make sure I don't develop any fear I've always gotten back up and have gotten some good runs in before stopping. The problem is this time, I actually got hurt. My knee on my back leg twisted and it hurts to straighten. And when I tried my method of getting back up and doing more, the pain kept me from having any good skates. I couldnt push off properly, couldnt balance well, and when I bailed the act of stepping off would hurt. So I guess my question is, how do I keep going? I don't want to make my injury worse, so I know I should take a break. But I'm scared that if I stop, I'll lose all my progress and develop a fear of crashing.

Hello, i bought a pair of freeskates with edge guards from your Europe website. I wanted to ask what time does it take the package to arrive to Spain or when i track the package.

Reminds of that time my roommate was free skating next to me - as I was biking his car tire+wheel to a repair shop on my ebike!

Those pot holes are deadly!!! Even in daylight! 😱 He took it like a champ tho. He’s my inspiration in life

It looks like the Wipeouts are not as bad as a skateboard.

Hi, Im freeskating for about 3 weeks and my knees hurt, is that normal or did I over do it.

[bradleyfrank]

I wish you guys sold unpainted freeskates as trainers/learners. I hate scraping the paint off my new freeksates.

[thabangthobjajoseph]

You know I can afford the skates but the shipping is a lot, like crazy expensive 😢😢

[JeshSesh]

how you hit that sidewalk, well this just happened to me earlier today, expect I was going a bit faster and the crash was like 4 inches deep
