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

I am impressed for $38!! Definitely worth the money! I bought these to try free skates and I'm glad I did! Build quality and components are nice looking I don't have anything to complain about!! Watch the jmk video on how to get started! I'm very glad I did! Even after many years of skating and other extreme sports.

The media could not be loaded. They are difficult to use. Must be determined to learn and practice.

My grandson likes it…but I think that it is very dangerous!

I ride skateboards and rollerblades, so it seemed like these half-skateboard drift boards would be something that would be a natural evolution, and something fun to try riding on. I watched some videos on YouTube of people ripping around on these like crazy, and they looked super fun, so I had to give them a shot. I'll tell you, once you get it down, they're really quite fun, and when you manage to get in a good run it feels like it does when you catch a wave on a boogie board and ride it in to the shore.I can't stress enough just how steep the learning curve is; it is definitely not easy. Granted I'm in my late 40s, but still... It's not like I'm totally out of shape or unable to ride. I bunnyhop my bicycles, do DH runs at the ski resorts on my mountain bikes in the summer, and I ride long boards all the time. That being said, my 12-year-old also got quite frustrated and even threw in the towel, and it wasn't until I pressured him to keep trying that he finally got it down. While he can pretty much ride down the street on them, I however can only consistently get in short runs as I am still working it out.Overall, I think these are a pretty decent deal. They're not overly expensive and they seem to be competitively priced when compared to other similar riding platforms. If you're thinking of picking these up for a kid, I think they'll work out just fine. If you're thinking about picking these up for yourself as an adult, just keep in mind that there really is a steep learning curve, but you can do it; it's just probably not going to go quite as quickly as it will for a kid.

Lots of fun

When I got the skates, the right skate had a crack down the middle that I thought might just be in the grip tape. When I stood on them for the first time, it turned out to be a real crack in the wood that got much worse. I returned them and figured if I reordered new ones, they would be a ticking time bomb, so I will look into other options.

My kid loves them. It’s tough but he likes the challenge

Great product, hard to learn
