Black Roller Road Drift Plate Skates Anti-Slip Board Aluminum | with PU Wheels with ABEC-7 608 Bearings, Portable

My 11 yr old daughter has been watching free skate on utube and approached us to get her 1. It was unknown to me and after reading reviews and watching a few vids, I was even more hesitated to buy her 1 - afraid she can't do it and give up after a few wks. She has no other experience aside ice-skating. After 2x-3x practice for 15-20min in a few wks., she is able to ride it fine, uturn and s-curve, etc. Very happy for her and happy we got her this, I would recommend it.

Pretty satisfied the product was really cheap yet still worked bearings werent very good but the wheels seem to be lasting ive had it for about a year it took me three days to learn and after that ut was really fun using it on downhills and doing tricks. Forewarning it is kind of hard to learn so it isnt for the faint of heart.

These skates are awesome, wheels are great, berrings are great, and it’s really cheap. Definitely would recommend. The only thing is, it is hard to learn! But it’s well worth the effort.

It WILL be more difficult to learn on these than it would be to learn on a pair of JMKs. It is still possible, but you will have to work at it. I ride my JMKs around my university campus with a heavy backpack on, so I’m pretty comfortable on them. With a backpack on, however, I would not be able to use these. They have too much resistance and you have to work much harder in order to get the same result as with a better pair.

The product itself is good, it does its job as far as I’m aware, however, I did break my fibula on it while learning to use it, and I’m currently in physical therapy after surgery 2 months ago. Use at your own risk.

I have to say that I'm incredibly upset by this product. It took me two months to realise that each foot of my drift skates were actually MISLABELED! Yes, the one skate marked with R for right foot was actually meant to be used by my left foot! The same for the other foot as well. For months I thought I was doing something wrong but after doing a bit of research and comparing photos of freeline skates and the orientation of their wheels, I found that my skates were defective. So, if you buy this product and perhaps find them to be rather difficult, make sure to check to see if the product is defective first before giving up.

You can't go wrong with these! The plate and truck are cast aluminum. I'm 270lbs and they are no problem for me. I read other reviews that complained about the wheels and bearings. The bearings don't spin great when you open the box but will spin fine after you use them. As for the wheels, they are flat which would be the design of the original expensive skates. If you really want to, you can buy wheels from the other guys for $38. When you do the math, it sure beats spending $140 on the other guys. I will give you a piece of advice to help you learn to ride them. Find a flat surface with a fence. A tennis court is perfect. First try going along the fence. Then try and go further without touching the fence. Keep increasing the distance. You will be riding that day. Aaaand the most important tip is to look where you're going. Don't look down!! You go wherever you look. Good luck.

If we ever get as good as the YouTube video, I'll make it's 5. Interesting skates. Is going to take some practice. A lot of practice but I wanted new and unusual toys for the kids and I to play on. Definitely sturdy. Well made. Now to actually figure them out!

Budget set. The bearings are low quality and will probably need to be replaced in the near future. The grip tape used is badly aligned (causing peeling) and sections of the grip material losing grip just after one session of skating. The alignment of the trucks (in relation to the wheels) makes it hard to use the skate independently of which feet the skate is under. If you are new to free skates, the shape of the wheel are not beginner friendly so if you are a beginner, you will be better off investing in a pair of JMKs.

Kinda low quility I would say they were bad but you are really be doing good investing in a pair of jmks but it is still surpring good acording to its prize $

My son loved them. Well made.
