The BEST Wheels for Freeskating? (Round vs Flat)

[@Plane_Fame]

I just ordered some pro Formance free skates in red and blue with edge guards I can’t wait to start riding they look so fun

[@jmkride]

Yes! Be sure to binge watch the tutorials on our channel for all the tools to learn

[@soloskate3192]

I just Ordered some Forest Green & Black Grip Tape and Proformance Wheels - Set of 2 (Half Set) Mint and Screw Kit Shock Pad can’t wait to practice

[@jmkride]

Awesome!!!

[@aetherdood]

Now I want classic wheels.

[@jmkride]

Haha classic wheels are awesome! So fun to experiment with

[@dam7196]

​@@jmkride Which wheels are faster? I'm interested in skating as fast as possible.

[@dam7196]

(classic or proformance)

[@aetherdood]

[@nickbarkas5774]

All these wheels are doing their job but are boring... We want luminous Wheels, these white/blue/red LEDs would be absolutely amazing on freeskates. Please design or manufacture such wheels, eye catching skates with eye candy wheels.

[@Saimonn23]

What an excellent video. Kudos

[@jmkride]

Thank you! 🙏

[@fadhilahrizky9515]

Now i want to try classic wheels

[@juliuscanus1568]

I'm surprised you didn't mention rocks at all. I have JMKs with round wheels and also some non-JMKs with flat wheels, and the flat wheels seem to stop hard on rocks that the JMKs would knock to the side. Maybe this is more of a rookie problem.

[@sammyvincent9615]

Classic wheels gotta be the best for kickflips and other tricks that benefit from that grip and stability

[@jmkride]

Preach

[@MAGAN_RIDE]

Great video ! 😁👍

[@jmkride]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@millenialmuscle8254]

Just ordered mine. If you guys offered flint stone ingrained wheels for sparking or atleast the edgeguards made of Flintstone grip tape that would be really good. It would make even our bails and accidents look flashy.

[@biologicalsubwoofer]

What would happen if you had both types of wheels on each skate? Pro wheel on the front end and classic on the back for both skates for example?

[@jmkride]

that would be weird... Sure you'd get used to it and would be able to do different tricks with each skate

[@biologicalsubwoofer]

@@jmkride I asked because if you had one classic and one pro on each skate, you should theoretically have a straight up moving skate for the ghost tricks and easier flip skate for the flip tricks. Kind of a weird theory but if you do a video on it just to test it, that would be awesome! :D

[@care2425]

Well, seems that I have to try out both ;)

[@jmkride]

This is the best approach

[@MilanGP]

@@jmkride but I don’t live in the US so I can’t just try out both and then pick the best option for me. I would need to order 2 sets of skates and that ain’t gonna happen.

[@liamhawkins3705]

Which one is good for learning

[@meckspeeder7047]

I believe he said that the proskates are better for learning

[@zz1k937]

What wheels would you suggest for bumpy surfaces like roads.

[@jmkride]

The shape should not affect performance. It's more about how you're riding to navigate the terrain.

[@M3HR4J_H]

Which type is more better for rough surfaces?

[@jmkride]

Flat have slightly more life on them which can benefit for longevity

[@verdiernoyama9681]

have you ever tried to put a classic wheel and a pro wheel on each skate ?

[@jmkride]

Actually no lol

[@millenialmuscle8254]

Anyone tried shark wheels?

[@sk8kar89]

Hey Gabe.... can you please please make a video on just power sliding please?

[@jmkride]

Yeah we made a tutorial! You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5a0enaBoZZ4i68

[@carrielamHKSAR]

which one is the best for practicing 360?

[@jmkride]

Round, but can be done on both

[@jonathantsoi2951]

If I'm riding for long distance 3km+ (over various rough surfaces) , is it recommended that I go for a softer wheel like skateboards?

[@jmkride]

Our wheels should be all you need. If it's personal preference you can try and find a compatible wheel for other terrains.

[@shame2189]

If wheels aren't or don't stay slightly soft they're no good to begin with.

[@danielsm4]

Great video my freeskates are on the way

[@danielsm4]

Also do the team 22 freeskates come with proformence weels

[@jmkride]

Can't wait!

[@jmkride]

Which?

[@nirodha7028]

What if you combine the wheel types on one skate? Or… have one setup on one skate and the other on the other… I can imagine mixing and matching for certain tricks… (never rode freeskates in my life so bear with me here :-))

[@jmkride]

hahaha maybe one skate classic, one pro. If you flipped one more often and threw the other.

[@syafiqsirajuddin6550]

what if you're just starting out? which would you recommend to buy to learn freeskates?

[@jmkride]

Round. All our completes come with round for this reason

[@syafiqsirajuddin6550]

@@jmkridethanks!!

[@dam7196]

Which wheels are faster? I'm interested in skating as fast as possible.

[@jmkride]

They are both equally capable in that regard, but the round wheels will feel the most fluid 🤙

[@dam7196]

@@jmkride have you ever tried to skate like SUPER DUPER FAST? Because I’ve found that wheels with a more pronounced edge (more like 90 degrees at the edge instead of a circle) allow me to really grip the ground when I’m carving Or whatever the free skate term is. For when you wanna really dig into the ground to build speed I find that the rounded wheels don’t allow me to get as much of a grip and drive in as hard. Do you know what I mean? Would you agree with that?

[@jmimation1771]

Can you use a skateboard wheel on a freeskate?

[@jmkride]

Our wheels are close to a longboard wheel.

[@krishartsphotography5643]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@jmkride]

Our pleasure!

[@lenono3457]

I can't buy classic wheel in Europe when does that come

[@jmkride]

You can message them for options. We can find a way to get them to you

[@evri3752]

Which wheels would be better for cruising though?

[@jmkride]

Proformance (round), 100%!

[@salanyabanban9987]

Are the round wheels going to be easier for the beginners?

[@jmkride]

Yes

[@samuelloh5419]

Hi. Im interested in free skating and saw that your free skates are sold at $120 from your videos but when I visited your online shop, it says that it is sold at $229 instead. I live in Singapore and is the change in price related to my location?

[@jmkride]

Hi Samuel, did you get to the shop from jmkride dot com? It will be a direct link to the Singapore store there. At times the price can be higher due to the seller taking on the import costs

[@nataliagarciaclark757]

Are there wheels that can go over puddles without it being extremely dangerous?

[@jmkride]

Water will reduce the friction you have with the pavement, so safety-wise it's not recommended. It'll also destroy your bearings via rust - this goes for almost all bearings, no matter the wheel. In general avoid water if you can 🙂

[@poolgoers5937]

I like classic wheels

[@aibronman]

Im in europe, just bought my first freeskates but even on amazon I dont know how to find rounded wheels. Are they the same as skateboard wheel ? Are they different ?

[@jmkride]

They are very different. We created the Pro (round) wheels, you can get them at jmkride-europe

[@SnoAtHome]

Are there anyways to make the flat wheels stop when I accidentally send it flying to the sea?

[@jmkride]

Hope it tips over hahahaha

[@SnoAtHome]

my luck is bad :(

[@jeriel7396]

Cool vid

[@Goldtheinfinity]

my question is which one is easier to pump and turn with

[@jmkride]

Round

[@Goldtheinfinity]

ight ty

[@kikosebas1]

What's the color of these wheels, it's the exact color i want the skates in, thank you :)

[@jmkride]

In the thumbnail? Red

[@GTSongwriter]

Which one is better for speed?

[@jmkride]

Pro

[@lenechen5616]

Is flat wheel more easier for beginner learner?

[@jmkride]

Round wheel is better to learn

[@lenechen5616]

No wonder I can't feeeline skate till today. Very frustrating

[@Motorbike_18]

One of each?

[@aljunegregorio8737]

what if combination of flat and round wheels

[@jmkride]

You might be able to pull off Left with Round and Right with Flat.

[@5lowburner]

Could you get the camera any closer to your presenter? The frame’s not entirely filled yet.

[@verdiernoyama9681]

What are the most durable wheels ?

[@jmkride]

Classic wheels generally have a slightly longer lifespan

[@gurpaful]

LED wheels plsssss

[@jmkride]

LEDs in development, but not wheels

[@ReavoEnd]

What if... Each skate has one of each wheel? Or what if one skate has all rounded, one flat? Hmmmm.

[@jmkride]

No bueno

[@oaktree0511]

One classic wheel, one pro wheel, per skate 😂

[@jiggyvision2116]

are freeskates child-friendly

[@jmkride]

We have riders beginning at age 5. Parental supervision is always recommended as well as pads

[@actionmarco8556]

Sou desu ka

[@jmkride]

Totally
