As someone coming from the RipStick I can say that for sure made things easier while learning how to freeskate. It gave me some bad habits like keeping the front foot still while mostly moving the back foot (I'm slowly correcting it), but still I managed to get a pretty decent pump on day 2.
That’s dope! A little skill can be transferred from most rides, even if it’s as simple as general balance. Glad to hear it worked out!
Ohh so it is actually helpful to know the ripstick..
I am struggling thinking that ripstick muscle memory is messing me up
Lol I was legit very impressed by a lot of that hahaha
Also I hope someday that random parking lot becomes like a freeskating monument or something
Hahaha hopefully someday 😆 we’ll continue to film there!
I have some rip skates and that is still very different than free skates. I had a snakeboard and I have an Alterskate that is very similar but still different. Been practicing my switch on my Alterskate (can't ride switch on my free skates yet). Love my JMK rides much better than the old freelines I have.
Wow, you've ridden so many things! Agreed on the rip skates... it definitely comes down to the actual mechanism, and not just the fact that there's two skates :) Snakeboards are similar yeah! So cool to hear you're enjoying the freeskates! 😎
I can Ollie on a rip stick but free Skates are way more awesome. Hands down
Yeah they're both cool!! But after trying both, the difference is night and day 👌
the fact that u can ollie on a ripstick is already impressive as hell lol
Yo I can too
As someone as a avid rip sticker that just started to learn free skates and can confirm it’s totally different
Yes! It can definitely help in your journey, but very different
Just take RipSkates or Xliders, best of both worlds. Btw, there were some Casterboards with 4 wheels in-line. I still own the Timberwolf Cruzor, the Longboard of all Casterboards.
Ah interesting! Thanks for sharing that
Well, you could also just say "yes, it kinda is the same." Why? Because I bought these with the impression that they are like ripsticking and since I love and know how to do that, I can easily learn this. So I spent the $170 or whatever on a pair and I was sadly mistaken. Im like "damn, okay this is harder. Now I have to learn and get good at this because I don't want my money going to waste." Im so glad I purchased these the that impression in head or else I would've never been having the time of my life learning to skate on these! Lol. Theres a certain phrase or term that exists that describes my situation but I just cant think of it lmao!
Blessing in diguise! lol
Definitely a blessing in disguise 😆 that’s awesome! Sadly, some people give up there and then, when they discover it’s not the same. Hit and miss I suppose, but hopefully this video will clear things up for many in the future :) so glad to hear that experience worked out perfectly for you! 😎
Pioneering Freerip 😆. Good video contrasting these two! 👌
😆Appreciate it Roberto! Having two ripstiks actually worked out pretty well. Thanks to you guys for helping out!
Loved the "practical form of transportation" piece, lol! 🤭
Just ordered the blue set that was on sale. Pumped!
Stoked for you! Thanks for the support Elias 😁
@@jmkride is there any difference between the 99 dollars one on sale and the more expensive ones in terms of functiona and quality? Please do reply as I'm planning on buying them

How about freeskates versus a surfskate or unicycle?
Also it’s about time , can’t wait to defend y’all properly
😂😂 It'll definitely be convenient to have a video to point people towards. Hoping this clears things up. Thanks for your support!
@@jmkride just ordered your Black Friday marine set can’t wait for my third pair
Haha nice video! I was hoping to see you trying to skate freeskates made from a ripstick though.
We promised to give it back in one piece, it wasn’t ours 🤣 maybe another video? 👀
Ripstik/surf boards mimic method of carve. Similar skate direction/orientation (reg vs goofy) minus the board.
I had RipStik first and I learned that. Than I got freeskates it still took me a week to learn than.
It's truly not the same, but it can help
Extremely late to comment, but the Rip stick 360 is a different animal, bi directional… awesome fun too
Haha nice game ! you did some very good tricks with the both 😂👌
Thank you 😆 We surprised ourselves a bit with some of those tricks….
I want to get new freeskates but I'm between the wooden and the metal ones, what are the pros and cons of each?
We can really only recommend JMKRIDE skates. The other ones you’re looking at are sadly low quality, and we wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. JMK is also the only company that invests in and cares about the freeskating community as a whole :)
why not compare them to casterskates (ripskate) instead of casterboards (ripstik)? its basically the ripstik but split in two like a freeskate is
Yes, we've seen those. Because we most often get asked about the ripstick
Unfortunately not well known, but really great!
One thing I wanted to ask is if they are as stable as ripstiks when it comes to terrain. The roads near my house arent the smoothest, and theres a hill with a really bumpy and broken road at the bottom, but i never had any trouble going down it. Would the same be true for free skates?
I’m surprised your ripstik can handle that! Yes, freeskates can handle all sorts of environments because of the large, softer wheels. Check our our terrain video here! 👉 ruclips.net/video/M15wB9xXzjU/видео.html
Great video. I have an idea for your next video. How about comparing and contrasting freeskates to Ripskates ruclips.net/video/Uo5blh8oF2s/видео.html and Orbitwheels ruclips.net/video/FYm5x3l4fv0/видео.html ?
Is Freeskates close to Snake board? I have both Snakeboard and Ripstik. And they are different. It seems to be similar to Snake board.
We may make a video about that! The short answer is yes, it’s a lot more similar to freeskates than a ripstik :)
@@jmkride I am glad to hear it. I am going to use it for traveling in Japan in April so that I just order it yesterday. I don't even have it yet. And it's snowing now. I hope I can ride it well soon.
Great Video Guys!
Appreciate it Pearl 😄
What about razor ripskates? What do you think about those? Its ripstik without the bar in the middle. You definitely can't do the same tricks. Don't think you can do any tricks on them really. Lol
We’ve tried those, and yes, tricks are a bit limited due to the caster design... Much like the ripstik they lose control the moment they come off your feet 🤷♂️
But I find it more fun to ride. RipSkates also have the more efficient design. Compared to the them the body must adapt to FreeSkates which are less ergonomic.
As a good ripsticker I was hoping the balance would be similar
It will help, but it's still very unique
I can ripstick for ever and ever no pain just like gliding, i have been freeskating for a little over a year but my legs and ankles can maybe go two feet without pain, why is that, they are very old used ones so do i just need new ones or is that normal
Are they JMK? It really depends on how much you ride and the brand of your skates
My lady says freeskates are the same as ripsticks except in freeskates your ankles are the metal doodlebobs that swivle
That would be incorrect. On freeskates there are no swiveling doodlebods. Fixed trucks. They are actually very different rides
Are FREESKATES similar to the DRAGAN board?
Very similar to the riding style of the old school snake boards!
If you’d drop free skates got wheels like a rip stick that be sick
Do the rubber wheels shred off like on ripsticks ?
No! They are similar to longboard wheels. Very durable
Which one is faster?
freeskates, and it's not even close haha
I bought a pair of free skates and i dont remember in how many weeks they will come to my house can you tell me. Btw i live in greece
you'll need to contact the shop you purchased from
You said we can get FREE skates ?
SAWING ON THE COUNTER???!!! 😱😱😱😱
YOU DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING OK
Hello i'm from Vietnam
HI!
this is fun
you should make a video trashing rip stiks
Hahaha nah. We just get so many questions if they are the same
You were riding the ripstik the goofy way
Ripsticks are cool and fun but free skates are better
Not that kinda flapping nerd 🤣
