I live in dubai and those kite and skate guys you have over there in damac hills are amazing, even bought some jmks after the sesh with those guys, the global kind of distribution or popularity of your skated and overall sport is just growing at a wild rate, keep up the amazing work ❤
I see you with the broom... makes me wonder... have you tried a hockey stick and a puck on free skates?... I mean, I have never seen free skate hockey... now that would be ace. Maybe just like a one v one match, small pitch or get mattie and jeff and do a two v two.
Hello, JMK! I’m a huge fan and I watch your channel all the time! I purchased a pair of free skates 2 weeks ago and have been practicing. I can push off a pole and balance the whole way and *sort of* pump! However, there are one or two thing I would love to know: 1- When I push off without the pole, I can never get enough energy to pump, why? 2- When I pump, I feel like when I am doing the “toes in” part, my toes don’t go all the way in, making me fall. That’s all I have for now. Take your time to respond and thank you!❤
The pole is probably giving you a lot more speed to work with, from what it sounds like! Hills are your friend, so when you're learning the pumping motion, try to avoid flat ground at the start. Once you feel you're adding to your speed by pumping, transition to flat and see if you can replicate the momentum! For that second question, it's totally normal for one position to be more comfortable than the other. It might just be a matter of reps over time! As for practical tips, maybe focus on small motions. So if you can only point your toes in a bit, try and limit your 'toes out' position to a very small stride. The point is, as long as both strides are even, it'll be easier to practice in the beginning since your weight won't be as thrown off. As you get a bit more comfortable over time, try and widen your strides bit by bit, and hopefully your 'toes in' position will start to improve. Hope that's helpful in some way!
Man, Gabe is really gettin' good at those tricks. We might have a contender on our hands!
Trying my very best to catch up with Jack 🤣
I absolutely adore how smooth the boardwalk is oh my god I wish Japan was like that
Sounds like a vacation to San Diego is in order! 👀
Another great video, good vibes! Can't wait to go out for a ride on mine today
Glad you enjoyed the vid, have fun out there! 🤙
Jack was really good. Now he's amazing. Props
Love watching you teach new people to try riding.
Teaching new riders is one of the best feelings ever.

First and I can't wait to get my free skates on Friday
Hope you're loving them!!
Woo, new video :)
I never subscribed to this channel but seems like RUclips did it for me.
👍👍👍
When I'm older can I work with you guys?
Who knows, anything could happen!

We've heard of it being done but never tried it ourselves! Would be an interesting video to make :)
New sports have to start somewhere...
