    Tip #5 is no joke. I started on cheap, Chinese knockoffs. Once I moved to JMK the difference was staggering. In hindsight, I really only slowed my learning process not starting with the real deal. The bearings are obviously better, but so are the wheels and overall construction. I'll never stray again.

    I beat the hell out of the OG Freeline skates like 12 years ago- couldnt order from them anymore. I bought jmk rides 10 years later (2020) and they were SUCH a vast improvement in weight, form, and customizability. Not to mention, I've been unlearning some habits i taught myself back in the day thanks to jmk's videos.
    To those just now learning dont give up!

    Just got a pair from amazon because JMKs are pricy for me since I'm just learning how to do it. But so far so good. If I stick with it I'd love to grab a pair of JMKs in the future.

    What perfect timing. I'm learning to pump on my 5th day of skating and I'm wondering if its possible to learn pumping on an slight hill? I don't really have flat areas nearby and I'm practicing on a small hill currently.

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Totally! Actually, flat ground is what you want to avoid. Just like riding a bike, you want some speed to help you stay upright. Learning on a slight hill is the best case scenario for new riders 😁 Best of luck to you!

    • @xaviergrimm5789
      @xaviergrimm5789 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      to ride uphill, you have to dig a little harder when pumping. The more you practice the more muscle you'll build up in your legs too so keep riding.

    Yeah stick with it. I had my coach shove me down a hill 100 times to learn how to pump XD I eventually got it down but not without a little frustration lol But now I use it as something to top off my workout for the day 😁

    In my defense I'm only watching this without having tried because I placed the order 2 hours ago. I'm glad I decided "well I can spend $80 and upgrade in a year or so, or just spend $170 right now"

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately, some people get deterred riding the cheap ones because they are more difficult. They quit before they even try ours which makes it far easier to learn.

    Quick question. How can I get my back leg to come forward? Like in the first beginner video when you split the legs around the skate on the ground. My back leg wants to not go forward.

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I'd recommend only using the back leg to pump, and keep the front skate straight. This should help you figure out the pivot on the back skate. Pointing your back toe outward should bring it forward! Apologies for the delayed reply - Hope you've been able to make some progress. Would love to hear about it!

      The splits only happen if you try and hang on too long. We always recommend stepping off prior to that. And even then, it rarely happens.
