FreeSkates Portable Roller Road Drift Skates Plate with Aluminum Alloy Deck Non-Slip Board Split Skateboard with PU Wheels

The components used here (wheels, bracket, and deck) are of absolutely stellar quality. This thing is built like a tank. I didn't know such a sport called "freeskating" or "drift skating" existed and I'm so glad I chose these particular skates as a gateway into this hobby. I've always liked pumping surfskates but this takes it one level further: where both legs are equally pumping and the turns are way sharper. Also more muscles are engaged. I can feel my legs and core get stronger every day. It takes weeks (not days) to master pumping because not only do you need to develop the muscle memory to ride in a sinusoidal motion (where each foot can be in different phases of the sine wave) you also physically need to build the muscle in your ankles/legs to do this. But once you get through the initial hard learning curve, it's smooth sailing after that and it's so much fun. This is amazing, 5 stars is not enough! Read more

They look just like in the picture. Quality is superb for the price, from the plate, truck, wheels, and bearings. Full disclosure, I actually have the JMK skates already, and I love them. However, when I saw these, which are the first actual replica I've seen, and at this price? I just had to get a pair to beat up learning tricks on and compare to my JMK's. Okay, so the low down, is the tires are the same size, almost a carbon copy, and the bearings are fast out of the box. The tire rubber is definitely not the same. They're more slippery, if that makes sense? Not as grippy on hardwood which is what I'm scooting around on right now. Haven't taken them on the pavement yet, but we'll see how they hold up. Based on other reviews, I'm sure they'll do just fine. They look like they'd measure a bit lower to the ground than JMK but they're the same size. The grip pad is kinda weak sauce, but decent enough, and easily upgradable when the time comes. This model is still using the lock-nut method, but it comes with a pretty nice wrench to change out tires and bearings. And they put a washer between the truck and pad? Bravo! I'd say best free skates on Amazon I've seen. And way better to learn on than square wheels. The colored wheels is a real bonus too, I really like the look. Read more

My 17 year old son wanted these. Why, I don't know. They look impossible to do, but then so did the Rip Stick Mini which he mastered. He's much better at this but it's tricky to master. They are excellent quality and have held up well. I advise not to buy as a gift unless you're really sure the person has the discipline to do it. They require a lot of coordination. Read more

They are very fun to learn. It took me about 3 days of 2 hour sessions going down a decline to finally feel comfortable pumping to gain speed. It may take a bit of time, but it is a fun way to cruise around the neighborhood. The grip is excellent with Vans, but you will bail and the edges will start to wear down from the concrete. Expected, so don't expect them to not show wear, concrete always wins. I changed out the bearings to bones reds and it helped a bit to create a smoother ride. They come with some pretty generic bearings, but that is too be expected. You'll be able to learn on the initial bearings, then upgrade if you're having fun. Read more

Super cool, my son picked up ripsticking at age four and never really loved skateboarding as much. He tells me he likes these just as much and though he was able to skate pretty quickly he likes that it’s still challenging to do tricks. The rubber wheels I guess are very important. Good value for money. He has a dragin board also that he likes, but he goes faster and can do more tricks with these. Read more

Really ugly cover, unlike what’s shown on the cover, returned Read more

The media could not be loaded. I’ll start off by saying these are not easy to learn. Takes a couple days and you’ll fall a couple times…but!…. Once you get the hang of it oh my god are these things fun!!!!!!! I can’t stay off them! I do about 5+miles a day and when ever I get a chance. Really honestly take your time and learn! Don’t give up they are so worth it!! The product itself has been awesome to learn on. Nice rounded wheels with high quality bearings. I did however replace the bearings with some reds big bones. Keeping the stock as backup.Ridding smooth 😎🤙🏻 I also customized mine and replaced the grip tape with something a little more my style. I also like the adjustable wheel position. Helps for when you get good and want to go fast. All and all a good buy! For the people complaining! You’ll never have fun or go far in life if you give up at every hard turn. Take chances make mistakes and have fun!!!!!!! Read more

Decent entry level skate for beginners. As soon as you get your balance though expect to have to replace the bearings. These come with the absolute worst bearings I have seen. Replaced them with bones reds and now the wheels spin like they should. Read more
