JDMricist good luck, tried my first time yesterday and couldn’t make it 5 ft without falling 😂 it’s also really hard to swerve but I figure once I get that down it’ll be easy
@@kuber.0 Update. My flat ground riding has vastly improved since my previous post. It one day just clicked that I need the back leg to propel myself and the front leg to keep up the momentum and I had the motion down instantly. My friend and I are now practicing tricks. Keep at it and one day it's bound to just click for you too.
They have been called many names ever since free line skates (the inventor) closed, some people still call them free line and some call them drift skates now
just bought some of these skates. they came with a hexagonal tool but no instructions. I have no idea what to use it for but it must be important. any tips would be appreciated
I can say today was my first day. I gave it a good hard hour I made it about 60 feet away from my car. It took 45 minutes just to get 10 feet lol. I am determined, stubborn as you will. I will with my old ass figure it out. Not really old just 32 but dam sure not in my 20s lol
These ain’t called drift skates, they called free skates, and they are way harder than they look Edit: I’m adding progress reports on how I’m doing and this is like my second session of like an hour of trying. And I’m about to go back inside and I’ve started to get the motion on the back foot
Yup! And you definitely do but learning on the crappy bearings that they come with makes it a little easier but once you get going you should replace them with good skateboard bearings to really go faster and farther.
Hey man! It seems you're having an easy time as opposed to me with these, you seem to have got a hang of it pretty well. I bought a pair of these a few days ago and have just started using these, and I'm doing great in some parts. I'm great at doing the straight back and forth movements, in the first few steps, but having trouble with the gaining momentum part, using my knees and my feet, etc.. I'm able to perfectly get the motion(it seems) when I'm against a wall, but whenever I try and do it with out a wall, riding it like its supposed to be, I always mess up. Is there anything you came across learning to use these along the lines of what my problem here is? If so, how did you fix them and what tips would you give me? I would greatly appreciate a response from anyone. Thank you!
It sounds like you have the basics down so now try going down a very slight grade and try pumping the motions to go faster than you would going down the slight grade and once you learn that, you should be able to get going after a wall push on the flat.
Ahhhhh!! About to go out to my driveway and try them out for the first time! So excited! Wish me luck!

Did he died
JDMricist how did it go!
Can I change the bearings to bones bearings or do they not support third party materials?
Got the balance down on going down hill. Now I just need to be able to move on flat ground 😂
DUDES!! what song was that on your "how to drift skate" video. it sounded so BOSS!!!!

Is the movement a bit like doing tic tac (old skool) on a skateboard?
Looks a bit Northern Soul.
I realize I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

I have a question. Whats thedifference between drift skates and freelije skates if any
They have been called many names ever since free line skates (the inventor) closed, some people still call them free line and some call them drift skates now
just bought some of these skates. they came with a hexagonal tool but no instructions. I have no idea what to use it for but it must be important. any tips would be appreciated
The tool is just for switching out wheels when you need new wheels
How do you stop?
Point your toes down and walk forward
Jump
apply the front brake (your face) to a nearby surface that has good stopping traction like the grill of a semi trailer
now im confused what invented first Drift skates or free skates by jmk
JMK's exist since 2015 so…
The JMK team worked with the original creator of those skates tho

How are you getting on?

easier than it looks
Definitely
These ain’t called drift skates, they called free skates, and they are way harder than they look

+JDMricist can you replace the bearings for better ones. i heard the factory ones they come with are really bad?
Yup! And you definitely do but learning on the crappy bearings that they come with makes it a little easier but once you get going you should replace them with good skateboard bearings to really go faster and farther.
JDMricist Sounds good, thanks!
