Power, flow, and surf pumping really bring out the style that makes freeskating look so cool. Surfskates, snakeboards and ripstiks just cannot compare to the freedom of freeskates! Also, I especially like the drone shots which show how freeskating looks from the top down view!
Thanks, guys! I look forward to every video of yours. In my country there is almost no such sport (I hope that only now) and we have only three people in a city of almost a million who ride freeskates. Me, my son and my friend. There is no one to ask, nowhere to look. You are like a breath of clean fresh water in the desert! Thank you for your work! Good luck! P/S Sorry for the automatic translation.
Just got my skates today! they feel much better than cheap amazon skates and I love them. They feel a lot smoother and are very excited to go for some long skating sessions! This helped a lot so thank you
Ohhh that's exactly what I needed! I just started pumping on my skates today and did the single foot exercises as well, but felt my upper body was moving way too much. Differentiating these different styles and explaining their uses was really helpful, thank you!
Woohoo! Glad this was useful for you. The upper body does indeed move, but more as a sway and as a part of the overall flow. Best of luck to you on your journey 🫡
As someone just learning to pump, I actually find myself falling into the #1 flow style quite easily when I go downhill, it could just be my previous experience with EUCs and Onewheels and the usage of shoulders in those sports, but I dunno. Great video about stressing learning the fundamentals though!
Boom Thanks guys . That was a great explanation of alot of what I see. Nailed it on what Kamoboka is doing also . Headed out for my daily practice now. Good timing
It would be interesting to get an in depth physics explanation of carving and pumping, such as static friction, mathematical concept of curvature, velocity and acceleration vectors and so forth.
For example, when we carve we stick one foot out, this increases the radius from our skate to our center, which decreases the curvature of said circle, does this help us slow down and how?
I realized that surf pumping can also get more power if you squat down while hard carving one direction and standing up as you're hard carving the other direction. Squatting down is also equivalent to going down a wave as you're carving. It's worth to look up tutorials on surfskates because they use that actual motion to generate more power. That said, squatting is more tiring, and unlike surfing, you can add more rotation with the body when using freeskates so it's more forgiving if you don't do the "proper" surf pump.
We recommend poking holes in the grip tape with the included allen key! This way you can disassemble / reassemble whenever you like without removing the grip. To locate the two bolts, look at your skate from the side and pinpoint each bolt's location with a finger. If you'd like to remove the grip tape entirely, you will need some fresh grip. You can remove the grip tape using a heat source (hair dryer works well) and a sharp object (box cutter), under adult supervision 😁
I’ve recently gotten more comfortable with pumping, and I’m noticing that one leg/foot gets sore faster than the other one. Is this a sign that I’m putting more weight on one foot, or a sign of a non symmetrical pump?
My back leg was very tired at first, then I began to shift my weight evenly on both legs and deliberately constantly included my front leg until it got used to working on its own. The back leg stopped getting tired and the wheels on the front and rear skates began to wear out evenly. Sorry for the automatic translation.
Hey you guys at JMK 👋😎 I just got my skates about 2 weeks ago I've been skating on average about four to five hours per day practicing I've started to notice that the side of my knees hurt especially my left side I ride Goofy so my left foot is in the back I honestly feel like I may have previously injured my ACL and now the skates are making me realize is there anything I can do to avoid this pain or possibly destroying my knee forever? Please let me know I really like the skates and I am really improving I have already learn to pump slight hills 🙏 any feedback is appreciated thank you and look forward to more of your videos they are very informative 💯
Riding is actually very low impact to your knees. So it may be your riding style that is affecting you. Your leg muscles are currently strengthening and will build and aleviate a lot of the tension you may be feeling.
You need to stretch and strengthen your stabilizer muscles by doing stuff like sitting on your heels, with your butt to the heels, and sitting in a low squat position and raising yourself up and down. If you’ve damaged your knee, however, then you’re going to need to talk to a doctor or a physical therapist. Whether you’ve been injured or not, you still should look up stretching and strengthening exercises on TH-cam for the muscles and ligaments around your knee. Inner knee pain is very common with runners and it’s not permanent, it just caused by strain due to weakness and/or tightness.
@@_GreenShadow_ definitely understand what you mean. To give an update: September made one year and I still love free skating in fact I made them my main form of transportation. I did have a fractured tibia and a chip missing from my left knee which was causing the pain. The hospital gave me a cast and crutches. But honestly I rode my skates everyday all day and only for one day wore the cast and crutches.🤷 on top of Tylenol 800. I'm now feeling no pain whatsoever and I average about 5 to 10 miles a day plus now I started riding a penny board as well. Thanks for the help and advice well received ❤️💯😎

That is so wonderful to hear - Thank you! Which country are you from?

Yay! The upgrade is always a great feeling. Enjoy your cruising sessions 😄
Really cool to see you guys getting into the nitty gritty! I've long felt like its all in the shoulders and hips.
Yup! Gotta use your whole body. Hope it was useful for you! :)

The third one is my favorite and if fun for going downhill

Flow FTW

Stoked to hear that Travis! Happy to help out, good luck with the practice 👊

I got mine yesterday. This is so hard! The way you get on is super uncomfortable. But its been a blast to learn.
You got this! Watch the tutorials and trust the process!

Favorite outro yet!!! 😄🤣
😂😂😂
Glad yall finally made a video about this... i had to figure out 'flow' by myself
It was definitely needed
Is there a way on your American store to get 2 separate colored edge guards??
Go ahead and email us! ussales@jmkride.com
People in the background at 3:54 just had their mind's blown.
Totally! haha
Can you guys do a video on how to disassemble freeskate trucks from the decks?
We recommend poking holes in the grip tape with the included allen key! This way you can disassemble / reassemble whenever you like without removing the grip. To locate the two bolts, look at your skate from the side and pinpoint each bolt's location with a finger.

Ther's another one Style #4 - keep your knees inside and together all the time - 02:32 😁
Never seen these before! Looks dope! Love all the Lakai's you guys are wearing. They stay sold out of my size :(
Appreciate that! Hope you can find some!
Is pumping/flowing easier with the classic wider/flatter wheels, or the rounded wheels, or no difference?
Definitely feels smoother with rounded wheels! The classic once just have a bit more of an edge to them. Still a smooth ride either way 👍

@@maratmarat9496 thank you! This is the problem that I am having
I love the surf pump. Ironically I surf goofy and surf regular. I really gotta work on my switch on freeskates.
First amazing video im gonna get freskattes in about two days
Im subbing
Woah that’s cool
I want these so badly
Such a fun learning process, and they feel beautiful once you learn the flow. Hope you get some sooner than later!! 🙏

@@jmkride two riders in Baltimore Me and Sebastian 💯 come skate with us 🙏💯 we doing our thing keep up the good work you guys 💪😎 much love ❤️
❤❤❤
ur sidewalks looks aoo fucking smooth and made for that
i cant even think of one place in my hometown outside
This place is especially nice
These are amazing but obliterate my ankles and feet
Once you try them you'll see it's not true! You can do it!
@@jmkride i have owned them for about a month and rode them almost every single day some for many hours. They really do, not fully used to it yet
Pls make a promo code
Just buy them. They arent expensive and they are worth every penny.
Bro your saying 120 is not expensive
Correct@@waterl3monshark891
Hi
Hi! 👋
hallo, i'm subsriber from indonesia.. i like your videos sir.. I hope one day I can get freeskates 😇
Thanks for subbing!
