DOPE.🔥 Had fun talking to you and I’m glad y’all found one!!

[@jmkride]

Thank you man! Glad to have met you and best of luck with the business 👊

[@dave_love_tech]

JMK: we will sell this and call it freestick

[@LeRoi81]

This would be cool. A Ripskate of the quality of JMKs I'm searching for.

[@bennyboibeans]

You should call it no stick

[@zachaustin4704]

Where they at

[@razorworldwide]

Great video! You guys shred! Sorry you didn't get better answers when you called our call center. I wish they would have connected you with me as I could have answered all your questions and helped you get your hands on a set a lot quicker. BTW - that spin you guys were doing on the RipSkates was SICK! I"m the guy in the green shirt you show at :26 and have seen a lot of crazy tricks go down on RipSkates, but I haven't seen anyone spin on them nearly as well as Jack did. Reversing one of them to make it happen is genius! Big respect to.the JMK team from Razor!

[@maratmarat9496]

I got a used X-Lider this winter ($10 with shipping), but the rides aren't as nimble. Thanks for the tip! Found and ordered now RipSkate used ($15 with delivery) Thanks again! You are best!

[@Ry-te1lj]

(This text has been prepared by machine translation.) The same type of product was released in Japan around 2010 under the name "xlider". I got my "xlider" in 2023. And I can ride free skates, but I can't do 180s or other spinning tricks. Therefore, it is not possible to enjoy the turning performance that is a characteristic of "xlider". But it looks like fun, which piques my curiosity, and I hope to ride it someday. I am unable to share this joy because no one around me is free skating. But I am happy just to see the same type of product introduced as the one I have. Please continue to spread the joy of free skating to the whole world! I too will enjoy free skating! from Japan

Such a fun video haha. Love the storytelling aspect, kept me hooked! Glad you guys got to try the elusive halfsticcs.

[@jmkride]

Glad you enjoyed it! We got lucky to find one! Appreciate you!

FREE SKATES (jmk ride) ARE THE BEST. I have 2 pair of them. I also have a pair of rip skates and a pair of X Gliders which are the same as ripskates but over seas. I bought them when I was searching for a new replacement for my old freelines that dont exist now. They are very fun to cruise on, but they are not as good as free skates at all. They have small wheels that are no good for bumps and can only go in one direction. And I bought freelines because I was searching for a replacement for my snakeboard that doesn't exist now. I also own an alterskate, which is awesome. I feel like I need a Dragan too. But I'm old lol and really I just cruise. I love the way it feels.

[@jmkride]

Wow - You have almost everything! 🤯 snakeboards and things of that nature are definitely on our list for the future 😎 Thanks for all your support B! 👊

[@LeRoi81]

I also have a Snakeboard (now Dragan Streetboard), 5 different Ripskates, 4 different Casterboards (old Timberwolf and Whiptide with 4 wheels in-line) and some other Carve boards. Best skate feeling for me: The Ripskates! (more exact a chinese remake of the Xliders with 76mm wheels, using Undercover 86A oder Hyper Concrete Grip 84A, simply the best) Maybe not designed for tricks it's really good for smooth cruising over long time. I also feel really stable on them, more than with the JMK despite the thinner wheels. Never too old, I'm year '81.

[@namron8105]

Got me sold waiting for it to continue production yall should make one

[@nickz1lla]

Just ordered some im so excited

[@ivandagiant]

I was expecting just some egregious advertising but this video was great, as well as the others I watched from you guys. Def interested in picking up some skates soon

[@jmkride]

Appreciate that!

[@imadeyourhp0]

Yall went craaaazy with the Rip Skate xD. nice vid

[@jmkride]

Thank you 😃

[@mcjiprock]

I got some knockoffs years ago, full aluminum for just 5 bucks

[@Abzero-mx2pb]

with the home-made ones, you forgot to slant the caster wheels so that they were forced to move in a line. when they arent slanted, they can move any direction.

[@jafarex]

Awesome video !

[@jmkride]

Thank you!! Had fun with this one!

[@LeRoi81]

I have both, JMKs and Ripskates in different variations. And cruising with Ripskates/Xliders is way more fun for me cause you can ride them more efficient. Steep hills are no problem, with 76 and 80mm wheels (bigger Ripskates) I can roll over everything easy with nearly 20km/h (approx 12.5 mph) and faster. And they are way cheaper. Can buy them for 30€ and lower. But replace the bad wheels! You can use the Casterboard or the Freeskate movement or combine them also with your upper body, very flexible flow. You need less power and it saves the knee joints. At 42 years it is worth thinking about it.

[@danieldelagarzaarreguin4833]

Where did you get a Ripskate or Xlider?

[@zonaresng]

had so much fun with them as a kid

[@jmkride]

As freeskaters, they were surprisingly fun to ride! It’ll be fun to continue messing around with them 😆

[@LeRoi81]

I was born 81 and I ride all kinds of Ripskates, Casterbords and Streetboards (Snakeboards) and JMKs sometimes. So what? Nothing to do with the age.

[@danieldelagarzaarreguin4833]

@@LeRoi81 Chill, he just metioned it was something he used to do. Not that adults can't or shouldn't riede them

[@ernestetodemetillar1533]

Incredible.

[@henstar337]

One for sale right now in Jordan.

[@jmkride]

Are you gonna get it? 😆

[@henstar337]

@@jmkride For the price I could fly to Jordan twice, so I decided to pass up on that one.

[@user-nm5vk8qn4d]

Is it easier than freeskate for newbie, thanks !

[@jmkride]

No, it is much more difficult to begin from the starting position

[@Shadrack_]

Can you ride one by itself like a mini rip stick?

[@jmkride]

If you have the balance, for sure

[@radekk5380]

@@jmkride wrong, you cannot. If you know how ripstick works, it is obvious.

[@JeremiahWee]

this is like the 3 time u tried to prove it lol

[@deanneilsen-ql7hn]

Lol. I have one. Had it for few years. And didn't realise what it was. Played with it. Fell over a few times out it away. And only touched it today. It's red.

[@jmkride]

hahaha nice

[@benjaminmccrink6415]

Hey Jeff, I crashed a commander pro into a car yesterday. We are one in the same now

[@lelequinter3881]

Man that looks awesome, and I think that the grip in the ripstick is better, the sandpaper is a shoes killer

[@bphater31]

I have this too. And It's not bad. Almost like freeskates. But freeskates can do more tricks.

[@jmkride]

Nice!! Yeah freeskates definitely have more capability, but the ripskates are still so fun to mess around with :)

[@toiletduck22]

are they faster ??

[@jmkride]

Good for spins, not much else

[@radekk5380]

they are more efficient so in theory they are faster. But out of the box they are poorly made, you need some upgrades ...

[@LeRoi81]

They can be faster with 76 or 80mm Undercover 86A wheels and good bearings. I skate a chinese Xlider Version with these bigger wheels. I'm faster up on hills than with Snakeboards, Casterboards or JMKs and you save energy. Casters are a clever design. Inline Skates are also more efficient than Roller skates and can roll over small stones easier because of the thinner wheels.

分開的蛇板叫雙龍板,跟飄移板很像,在台灣很多人都會認錯,把飄移板當作雙龍板,我不會英文,所以請自己翻譯,雙龍板介紹連結在下面

[@jmkride]

Yes, they came out with one similar to the snake board from the 90's

[@legotechnic27]

I can buy an offbrand version of these in the netherlands! Quite cheap too, somewhat considering getting them just for laughs.

[@jmkride]

Hahaha nice

[@LeRoi81]

I laugh while skating them such a joy I have.
