JMKRIDE freeskates

Shipping time was on point. Ordered it and two hours later it was shipped. JMKrides make some quality products. I found them by watching a video on upcoming skateboarding.. Although, I really like calling them drift skates because "freeskates" come up with tons of other skating variations which is annoying. JMKRIDE have some great tutorials and I recommend watching their official tutorial on putting everything together properly. It only took about 5-10 mins. It would be hard to screw up. If you think the screwholes are misaligned, try wiggling from the bottom side and it will eventually line up properly. Wish me luck learning these, almost fell on my ass with over confidence. HA. Bombed down a hill already (but bailed). They are defiantly fun.

I just skated first time today, I am excited to say that I was pumping around the skate park after just a couple of tries. I can see how people describe these as super hard to learn though, they are some serious pro level skates! I've been practicing with a ripstick previously to these, and I think that may have helped me get up on these so easily. Super fun if you can get up on them, don't give up!

I think it was too hard for him, but he’s 13 years old and he’s very athletic. He plays every sport and he just did not stay interested in them at all.

This is my first pair of free skates. I had heard great reviews in the past, and knew JMK was the brand I had to buy. It took me about two weeks, but I was finally able to bomb slopes on them now. Even on roads, they are still super smooth and roll perfectly. These are for beginners and experienced skaters alike. I would recommend them to anyone looking to start skating. Note: It does take a lot of practice to stay moving and stay balanced, but it is a good workout.

I have a longboard, but it is too big to carry and storage. These skates are a great product once you learned how to ride. It does have a big learning curve; however, it's doable if you put some practice time into it. Starting out with learning to balance on the skates can be challenging, but I find using a strong stick to hold onto while you learn to balance and acquire the feelings on them helps. I bought this product to learn how to use so I don't have to walk a long distance from employee parking lot to the facility, and the small size make it easy to store in my locker at work. I gave it 4 stars, because the metal on the bottom side scrapes easily after a few tries and falls on concrete. You need to buy separate "bumper guard" to protect the skates from normal wear and tear.

You can get cheaper free skates than these, but you cannot get better ones. These were for my teenage son, who uses them as his primary mode of transportation and literally skates miles per day. This is his second pair of JMK ride freeskates, and when the first pair was stolen I purchased a lower-priced pair with wooden decks here on Amazon. On that cheaper pair, the bearings wore down, the decks began to splinter, and a wheel literally split in half after two months of use. He rode the previous JMK ride skates daily for over a year and they were still going strong. He does have to periodically clean and repack the bearings after roughly every 100 miles of skating.... In short, if you plan on using these a LOT, this is your best value for money.

High quality and durable.

They take a lot of practice, but if you can put in the time, they are so much fun to ride. I also love the looks I get when I ride past people and they have no idea what I’m doing.
