Just wanted to say I my first set yesterday, and my first run this morning (only a few feet) put the biggest smile on my face! Looking forward to continued fun learning to free skate!
I remember watching someone free skate on TH-cam as a middle school kid who then went online to buy my first pair. I have so much fun with it the whole summer. Sadly I grow up and moved away from home and left those behind. It’s brings so much happiness and nostalgia to see them make a comeback. 😊
if you just started freeskating, and get your first roll alongs in your regular stance, give switch a little go. It will will feel horrible, but it will help with riding regular (it will will feel so much easier once you tried switch), and it will help a lot in the later stages with other tricks you may need a wall / fence to push along switch, it's hard and totally strange in the beginning - and you don't have to over do it, just give your feet and brain a little teaser whats to come my biggest problem at the start was my weak foot (left in my case, backfoot) - I learned to ride switch way too late, my dominant foot became better and better at freeskating in the first few days/weeks, whilst my left foot just was there for the ride...which made learning to ride switch so much harder in the end - the earlier your weak foot catches up to your strong one, the earlier you will ride switch, and thats where all the fun really begins! keep them detailed tutorials coming, they really will help !
Coming back to this video 5 months after I got my free skates, I love them, they are awesome! Learning curve is steep but very rewarding, let your muscles adapt and get stronger and progress will come! The first time I pumped halfway proper felt amazing :D Could you guys do a powerslide tutorial, I found myself in situations where normal slowing down was always a bit too risky and I had to walk or jump off my skates.. Big ups JMK!
I love free skates so much! I’ve had them for about three weeks, and i still can’t get the pumping motion down. Is there any way you guys could do a super in depth tutorial about pumping? That would be SUPER appreciated!
Bonjour de France à la team JMK. Merci pour vos video, grâce à vous j'ai pu apprendre le freeskate en une semaine et ça c'est cool 😉 J'ai mal à des endroits inconnus mais ça passera 😋 Encore merci et mon prochain équipement sera sûrement un JMK. 🛹🛹
Hell yeah on those little victories. It recall it taking me like a month to learn how to ride these, and that was just the basics. I didn't get around to learning tricks... or even how to brake! I just ride on mostly flat surfaces.
Little victories for the win!! Learning to freeskate in general is an accomplishment, so congrats on your progress so far 🎉 Tricks are optional, but learning to slow down is a must! If you'd like tips, you can watch the tutorial here :) th-cam.com/video/z9GhxEO9nB8/w-d-xo.html
@JMK Freeskates just started learning today. Very excited!! You know, I am not young and when I was a teenager (25years ago) I had a Snakeboard!! I do not know why kind of disappeared, But was an amazing board!! I found FreeSkates very similar to SnakeBoard. First day and already pumping!!! Looking forward to learning more and more....Great device!! Lots of fun!!
Having learned a unicycle I expected this wouldn't possibly be as painful to learn but then you showed those splits lol. I'll find out soon if I have that problem but I expect freeskates to be way better long-term than the unicycle so I wish I had found these years ago.
Haha, my feet are unusually really small, so I can’t do the starting position. I always have to hold onto a pole to get on and push myself off it to go. And that’s after 2 weeks of learning not to do the splits. It’s still really fun though.
👍👍👍 to Jeff, so wonderfully presented! I enjoy these videos. My surf skating and skateboard pumping skills indeed have rendered useless as I've received a pair of JMK Freeskates today and we went out with the family to try them. These are very useful tips. JMK skates are also so well built.
Great video! I just learned boneless and other tricks and I’m not really sure where to go from there. Can you guys post tutorials of harder flat ground tricks that I can do.
If anyone ever ridden a snake board it's the same except they're not connected so maybe a little different but the concepts the same and no I don't think they make snake boards anymore I just happened to find one So I'll give these a try
Thank you~ been skateboarding & roller blading for 20 years off and on~ My body and brain want to think rip stick (which I can do well) but Haven’t quite made the distinct connection of the difference. Only practiced thus far for an hour ish ~ so super new. Most common mistake is the splits motion. Along with just wanting to rip stick it ~ lol thanks for this informative vid! Excited to be able to conquer all the wheel sports ~ this one seeming to be the most complex for me. Happy to have room for growth and new challenges :) cheers !
Awesome! yes, definitely a unique ride, even from a ripstik. Same general idea, however the movement is still its own. Keep practicing as it does take time to learn!
I started Training 5 days ago I can drive more or less safe but as soon as I try to pump I get unsafe and me knees block. Do you have a tip to get more konfi?
Just got my pair yesterday and what a quality product! It's been 10 years since I beat up my Freeline OG skates, and these have totally improved on that design! It felt like getting back on a bike but I knew I had to watch this just to unlearn any bad habits I developed back then. Can't wait to master free skates again.
Can you just cruise with those things like a cruiser board, long distances like down town casually with a friend? Or is it only really meant for down hill or short bursts and tricks.
If so could you please post a video? on what it looks like just to cruise around or downtown longer distances? I live in Miami FL so no hills to cruise down
I really want to learn how to free skate, but I have a question... How do you make sure that you aren’t turning if you’re trying to pump? I really want free skates... They look so cool! Parents are worried about my safety tho...😿
To pump, you rotate your feet and split your legs apart. To turn, you rotate your feet and keep them behind each other, so that the back foot follows directly behind the front foot (Jeff talks about this in the video). FireSix is right, just make sure you're wearing proper protective gear! Especially under adult supervision, you'll be just fine 👍
Hey mate. I'm more into unicycling but I sometimes used skating to spice things up and help develop other muscles,etc. Regular skateboards and long boards werent cutting it for me, in terms of challenging my balance. So I discovered the shark attack board and the ripsurf. Those two were great and love them. Then I spotted these and was like, this has to be more challenging. I picked up a generic cheap pair from Amazon. Tried them for first time yesterday and I did get it down the mounting technique and really love the challenge on these. Truly love them. The simplicity of being so light way, can put them in my back pockets and pull 'em out randomly and cruise is an awesome thing man. Question, I checked your page out. Are the ones you guys make really better quality, interms of bearings also, than a cheap version from Amazon? I wouldnt mind at all shelling the money you charge for them because they look legit on your page. Thanks for being into this and manufacturing these brother!
Absolutely buy theirs over the Amazon ones. I started off on the knock offs (like a lot of other freeliners) before switching and it's decent for building the necessary muscles before actually getting into the legitimate JMKs but the knockoffs are awful for technique (square wheels makes it harder) or speed (they have worse bearings). You'll immediately feel the difference and it's definitely an investment you won't regret.
What should I do if I going to fast and I want to brake it to slow it down or stop moving?please answers my question I need more information about this cause I want to see how it work and then buy it
I just got my freeskates yesterday. I've only been able to practice in my living room because it's been raining the past two days and I've been trying to get myself going by pushing off a wall and trying to get the pumping motion. Is it common for your back foot to want to do all the "pumping"? I can't seem to get my front foot going in that S motion as easily
Hi Cathy! Yes, that’s totally normal. One thing you could try is solely using your front skate and scooting around your living room with little hops. While you’re doing this, try rotating your foot left and right to turn yourself. I’ll also say, props to you for getting right into it even though it’s raining! Once you have a nice decline it should be a lot easier to focus on the motion. Hope this helps!
I wanted to mention that the goofy abs regular things are reversed, goofy skaters have their power foot in the back, while regular skaters have their right skate in the back, how you would stand on a rip-stick applys here
Not sure what you mean by power foot, but on freeskates, both feet are powering the motion equally! Just as on a skateboard, regular means your left foot is in front, while goofy means your right foot is in front 👍
Any tips for preventing big toe pain for beginners? My big toe hurts because of push offs or balancing on it prior to push off. I tried balancing on left foot for setting my feet to relieve right toe pain but now both my big toes hurt. I've seen how you advanced guys can start on one skate and throw the second skate down but obviously I'm a while away from doing that kind of mounting.
We definitely recommend not wasting time and money on a pair that won't last. We understand if money's tight, but there's no compromise for a high quality ride
Not exactly, more similar to snake boarding! Freeskates take moving trucks out of the equation, and rather rely on your ankles for rotation. Toes in, toes out, rather than toe/heel lean! Hope that helps
I got a pair of some cheap skates off of amazon (not jmk) and I was wondering what the cardboard spacer was on these jmks and if that was something that is needed for these? does there need to be a slight gap between the plates and the trucks in order for these to work effectively or do i just need more practice lol. Thank you in advance!
Any advice on riding a little over a mile? My goal is to be able to commute more on my freeskates to and from work but I’ve run into an issue. My legs get exhausted and it’s hard to keep my knees bent when they are exhausted. I just got home from working riding them & I think what may have been my issue is my footing and not setting mini goals like being able to get from one spot to another and gradually build off that. Each time I attempt to use my freeskates I try to go straight for the long commute as my time to practice
Question: I’ve been learning how to skate for about a week, and I figured out that I’m more comfortable with my left foot forward even if my right one is prominent. Do I need to correct this? Thanks!
Do whatever is most comfortable for you. Many people ride opposite of what they would think. Eventually you will want to learn both ways, but to begin it's all about how you're most comfortable.
@@jmkride thats fair, i was just thinking it could be cool to use them as free skates but then with like a velcro loop fasson them to your shoes like inline skates, for double the fun.
Wait. For turning you said throw away instincts from skating and ripstick and stuff but I ride a ripstick and how you explained the turning on free skates is the same thing
New question. Is your freeskate aluminium? Or plastic? Does it make a difference? Because i'm looking for a freeskate that is not that expensive since im broke.
I feel these should some sort of strap for those people who are trying to ride in skate parks I can see people doing nasty splits and getting injured badly.
I thought of buying a skateboard for my birthday but after watching your videos i want to buy freeskates, does your website ship to India, pls reply, will be so helpful. 😊😊😊
For me it’s momentum but I have to do it more frequently. I’m from down under and ordered mine a while ago. I had Chinese knock offs they are not as tall and trust me jmks wow glide fast! I’ll see if I can go out more, it’s cold down here but hey I won’t give up! Thankyou for the video keep it up JMK!

So cool to hear! Hope you can get another pair someday
I love rollerblading but my biggest problem with it was how inconvenient and heavy they were. Definitely going to try these!
The feeling is so unique, I think you’ll love them coming from inlines!
Just ordered mine! Can’t wait to practice! Thank you so much for the tutorial ✨👏🥹

you may need a wall / fence to push along switch, it's hard and totally strange in the beginning - and you don't have to over do it, just give your feet and brain a little teaser whats to come
my biggest problem at the start was my weak foot (left in my case, backfoot) - I learned to ride switch way too late, my dominant foot became better and better at freeskating in the first few days/weeks, whilst my left foot just was there for the ride...which made learning to ride switch so much harder in the end - the earlier your weak foot catches up to your strong one, the earlier you will ride switch, and thats where all the fun really begins!
keep them detailed tutorials coming, they really will help !
Someone please tell me how long a pair of skates will survive generally
Rahul, the pros who ride these regularly, replace the wheels after 1-2 months.
Just ordered a pair of freeskates from your website. Got the one day shipping should arrive by tomorrow
Congrats, and hope this tutorial helps you! Good luck 🤙

Took me three months to finally master all the steps now I can skate with no problem
I just discovered this yesterday and am really really interested. Just need to test ride before buying
Hope you can find someone in your area and test them out!
I did about 50 meters on my first day, feeling good about this. Pumping looks kinda hard though
That’s incredible!! Keep going. With that persistence you’ll definitely get it down, it only gets easier / more fun over time 👍
If anyone ever ridden a snake board it's the same except they're not connected so maybe a little different but the concepts the same and no I don't think they make snake boards anymore I just happened to find one So I'll give these a try
i just picked up a set of free skates. i used to skateboard and rollerblade but its been like 15 years :D
Cool! Thanks for this tutorial!
for some reason this reminds me a LOT of snowboarding??? cant wait to try :D
When you're cruising and carving it's very similar

2nd day of freeskating, can go down a easy hill and can turn both ways. took me 5hour, can't wait to get better

omg these things reminds me of my snakeboard so hard. instand backflash. once you get the idea it was pure fun. i definetly wanna try this 👀
Yes!
Hi, Would you recommend to wear some protectives when learning these first steps? Thanks
Yes, absolutely. Always were pads when riding
Really helpfull me. How many days i ride to freeline skate????
Imma buy some and ride them everywhere my penny board def got some miles on it I’d love to try these
Awesome!
I really want to learn how to free skate, but I have a question... How do you make sure that you aren’t turning if you’re trying to pump? I really want free skates... They look so cool! Parents are worried about my safety tho...😿
With a bit of pratice you will not have this problem..
Freeskating is not that dangerous when you learn how to ride, but wearing gear is better!
To pump, you rotate your feet and split your legs apart. To turn, you rotate your feet and keep them behind each other, so that the back foot follows directly behind the front foot (Jeff talks about this in the video). FireSix is right, just make sure you're wearing proper protective gear! Especially under adult supervision, you'll be just fine 👍
Same my parents worry too about the free skates
Is it if you know how to use a skating is it the same balancing for this? I'd like to try it even i am in my 50's age. Im 53.
I wonder if the dragan toe clips for a street board would help at all....
The greatness of freeskates is the FREE with no straps or clips.
Hey mate.

Hi,
Can you pls explain How to balance on skates?
Lots of practice! Slow and steady and use all the tips from this tutorial!
Are the mechanics of the free skates similar to the mechanics of the rip stick?
They are actually very different, we made a YT video about that also
I’m trying to choose a free skate for myself, I just want to ask if the boards thickness matter
It's more about the quality and surface space
Is the techniques similar to a caster boarding?
Not exactly, more similar to snake boarding! Freeskates take moving trucks out of the equation, and rather rely on your ankles for rotation. Toes in, toes out, rather than toe/heel lean! Hope that helps

Can’t wait to get my 1st pair
Awesome!
Are these available in south Africa?
We can ship to SA, yes
What's the safest and fastest way to stop please?
definitely carving to slow down. If you're in a pickle, step off
can you buy freeskates in a store in person or is it only buyable online
Our main store is in San Diego, CA
How do you make it stop? like while going downhill scenario
The main way is carving. Check out our other tutorials for help with this.
I just finished practicing for the last 4 hours and I'm pretty good
Awesome!
Great ! Thanks for the video.
Wait. For turning you said throw away instincts from skating and ripstick and stuff but I ride a ripstick and how you explained the turning on free skates is the same thing
Have you tried freeskates? There's definitely similarities, but they are very unique even when sounding similar
I’m really contemplating buying these but are they beginner friendly?? I’m okay on longboards & haven’t tried a skateboard before
Yes, they are great for beginners and pros. There is a learning curve similar to riding a bike. We can help!
please make more video about the tutorial...
Can I free skate with a fused spine
Please do not stop uploading
We won't! 💯
Should i swap the left and right because i am left dominant
Whatever feels most comfortable for you. Eventually you'll want to learn both ways, but start out with the way that feels more natural
Can people ride hard connected freeskates like rollerblading?
Some people can ride them like blades if skilled enough, but there aren't any attachments of the sort!
New question.
Is your freeskate aluminium? Or plastic?
Does it make a difference?
Because i'm looking for a freeskate that is not that expensive since im broke.
Aircraft grade aluminum deck and steel trucks. Built to last
I am left feed dominant
1:16 my brain is not working, I’m ambidextrous both in my hands and feet
I feel these should some sort of strap for those people who are trying to ride in skate parks I can see people doing nasty splits and getting injured badly.
That actually doesn't happen as much as you'd think. The straps would make them far more dangerous as you would not be able to bail safely
Are you the company that bought out free lines?
Mine came with foot straps, I’m assuming they’re not too important?
We don't sell foot straps... We do not recommend them unless you're trying crazy flips at a skate park or something
Thank You 🙏🏾
I thought of buying a skateboard for my birthday but after watching your videos i want to buy freeskates, does your website ship to India, pls reply, will be so helpful. 😊😊😊
Just got them tofmday, i use mi dad as suport and a pusher bc i dont have a hill
That's great! Just like riding a bike. Need momentum
How can I get new wheels?
email us at ussales@jmkride.com
can i learn freeskate basics with the freeskate knock offs?
It is possible, however they are much more difficult to learn on.
Is it advisable to wear shoes while free skating ?
It's a better idea yes. We've seen people ride without them too
Awesome
I manage to pump now and can ride pretty good, but I watch anyway to get even better 😂
Nice work!
@@jmkride thank you and your video.
The skates can move sideway, left and right, but not seem to move back and forth. Why?
They can move all ways. Just intended to be ridden sideways
@@jmkride But how that can be done?
Thanks to that gay volunteer who didn't have prior skating experience! 0:13
Can we get your Freeskates Basics? We see it and love it and want to learn it.
This helped me learn free skates so much I learned it in 3 days!
Great progress!
For me it’s momentum but I have to do it more frequently.
I’m from down under and ordered mine a while ago.
I had Chinese knock offs they are not as tall and trust me jmks wow glide fast!
I’ll see if I can go out more, it’s cold down here but hey I won’t give up!
Thankyou for the video keep it up JMK!
