Skating Through Crowds on Freeskates!

[@PorkOMonTCG41]

As an inline guy who loves flow lines, this is beautiful! I’m slowly, but surely becoming disabled by genetic diseases, hopefully I can find the money to get some free skates before I’m in a wheelchair. Awesome video man. Makes me miss inline flow and bombing downhill at 60-70 miles an hour

[@LeRoi81]

I could watch this for hours! So nice and smooth!

[@jmkride]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@AyahElNero]

Facts now I gotta get me a pair😂🙏🏽🔥

[@Violianom]

Awesome video. I would love to see Jack and y'all go through various terrains + crowds as a challenge! I've recently started practicing riding over some rough terrain and it really puts your legs and feet into overdrive

[@Zandaxar]

4:27 Jack's crossfooting is creative and super smooth!

[@covenc]

That is simply some amazing skating. Blows my mind!

[@jmkride]

Thank you so much!!

[@carlosandreblatt]

That's amazing. I barely can't stand upright on my freeskates and he just kills it

[@bradleyfrank7933]

As someone who had the same problem, I found that rolling down a hill was what it took to get balancing on the skates.

[@kevinkev1530]

Super cool, great music

[@bradleyfrank7933]

I'd like to see a video on how to safely bail from the skates. I got injured recently bailing because I was skating too fast down a hill, and rolled my ankle. I think it is important to show proper technique on how to stay safe on these things.

[@mostamazingrace]

Yeah, in everything I've watched here, they've said "remember you're just a few inches from the ground so you can just step off", but thats a bit hard to do when you're going too fast.

[@bradleyfrank7933]

@@mostamazingrace I have done it many times, and most of the time all was good. Until, the one time it wasn't and my ankle is all bruised up and in a ton of pain. It also doesn't help that they tell you not to look down at your feet. I wouldn't recommend that when trying to bail. My skates were in the wrong place at the wrong time, I came down hard on an inclined skate, and boom, rolled ankle with a ton of pain.

[@chrisb3389]

They do have a video on learning to bail or fall safely. Check their channel history and you should find it. I've gotten way better at avoiding falls and learning how to slow down or to bail before going too fast. It took a few early falls, but can be learned. Since I'm in my late 40's, my body doesn’t recover as fast, so better to just avoid falls mostly or know how to fall the most non-harmful way.

[@bradleyfrank7933]

@@chrisb3389 42 here, no need to tell me. Taking a long time to heal up. As for finding the video, I've yet to find it. If you do, please paste it here.

We can definitely make a dedicated video! Here are some resources on the channel with some helpful info 👇 9 Tips for FAST Freeskating! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4LPlntporiZqJY 5 ways to bail on freeskates! - kzbin.info67ejpFMFeyo How to bail safely on freeskates! - kzbin.info1Bk8_AXVxhg

Beyond impressive

[@Milo_Hobbs]

Hey @jmkride I got a pair of your skates around a year ago and my friend just recently got some cheap Chinese skates. Every time I'm teaching him he leans his skates. He says he's not doing it on purpose and we've tried everything but he just can't stop. We're learning on a slight incline btw. Any tips?

[@jmkride]

You could try telling him to start with just the front skate and hop along, focusing on how pivoting the skate affects the direction he's heading. Also, looking forward should give him a better idea of his balance. Tell him that if he leans the skates, he's going to fall and will have to start over again. So for now, use the incline to stay upright for as long as possible before adding any sort of leaning. When learning to turn, that's when the leaning come into play :)

[@Milo_Hobbs]

@@jmkride Thanks! will try with him tomorrow

[@Nakamamas]

Is the person filming on free skates as well?

[@jmkride]

Yes, always!

[@Nakamamas]

@@jmkride someone should film the filmer, I bet that’s tougher than it looks too.

[@maratmarat9496]

Bravo!!!

[@jmkride]

Appreciate it! 🙏

[@controlpain9314]

I love your vids and this ine was very good at showing how surfing between crowds is amazing in freeskates. But! Its time ti start branching out more consitently. Show you guys riding through regualr neighborhoods and roads different areas that random. The boardwalk is way to perfecr an area. Time to show everyone that freeskates are really as good if now better than all other not motorized wheeled rides.

[@NobodyOnInternet]

I always curious about how much time we take tô just ride a freeskate

[@kyral4978]

I love freeskates, but they aren't going to handle rougher, unpaved areas as well as other non motorized vehicles. I live in a place with cracked, gravelly roads and it really makes it hard to skate, not to mention it eats up my wheels fast.

[@NobodyOnInternet]

@@kyral4978 and the pieces are switchable like skate?

[@controlpain9314]

@@kyral4978 they handle them better than things like skateboards or other hard wheels.

[@NobodyOnInternet]

Man how much take just for a person without experience in skate learning to ridw freeskate? By the way amazing video i love the vibe

[@kyral4978]

Depends on the person. I took me a good while, but nowadays there TONS of resources online. Checkout the tutorials on this channel and see if there are any freeskaters in your area.

[@NobodyOnInternet]

@@kyral4978 by while you mean how long? 3 mouth?

[@kyral4978]

@@NobodyOnInternet Yeah it was pretty long, but at the time there were basically no tutorials, so it was basically trial and error. It wouldn't take someone that long now.

[@bradleyfrank7933]

@@NobodyOnInternet It took me a month to get enough confidence to even roll down a hill with them. But everyone is different. You just have to keep practicing and little by little your body does kind of learn how to ride them.

[@chrisb3389]

It took me a few weeks to a month to roll down a slight incline for a ways and some basic carving. Pumping took longer to learn. Maybe a few months for that. Some tricks like 180s I still haven’t mastered, but I've gotten pretty good at cruising a couple years in. Had I spent countless hours working on tricks I'm sure I could have picked more up, but cruising is most of the fun for me.
