    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!

    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!

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 🫡

  • @gadgetvolt3640
    @gadgetvolt3640 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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!

    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.

    • @lordfarquaad6189
      @lordfarquaad6189 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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?

  • @oscarantonio9963

    I got mine yesterday. This is so hard! The way you get on is super uncomfortable. But its been a blast to learn.

    • @jmkride

  • @rageburst
    @rageburst ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    Can you guys do a video on how to disassemble freeskate trucks from the decks?

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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 😁

    Is pumping/flowing easier with the classic wider/flatter wheels, or the rounded wheels, or no difference?

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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 👍

  • @Parcore_Tank16
    @Parcore_Tank16 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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?

    • @maratmarat9496
      @maratmarat9496 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

    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 💯

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @_GreenShadow_
      @_GreenShadow_ 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 ❤️💯😎
