    What a surprise !
    I've been riding euc for two years, and discovered "free line/skate" Last year.... i practice but it's not easy....
    I'm not as easy on freeskate that Jeff on euc....
    But i know thé reason!! Weather is better in california than in France to practice freeskate...
    Thanx to JMK to have saved freeskate !

    Thanks to this video, I've discovered how versatile freeskates are and ended up ordering a pair from JMK. I normally ride EUCs and Onewheels so this will be a very different experience for me, keeping my fingers crossed. BTW, EUCs are super maneuverable if you get a lighter model with a smaller wheel- the Sherman is on the bigger end of the spectrum so I can see why it has trouble on the ramps and weaving between pedestrians. That is not an issue on something like the Inmotion V11 or V12. Also, Onewheels would be perfect for dragging analog riders along due to the side stance :)

      Thanks and best of luck to you!! It’s a different experience for sure and it’ll take a bit, but once you have it down, freeskating is such a blast. And thanks for the info! Enjoy 😊

    Great video! EUC's and freeskates are definitely a good combo, since I got my EUC one month ago for my long commutes in Paris☺I can't sit on it like Jeff tho 😂(yet!). As freeskates it's very compact, that's why I like it, and it can go very fast! :)

    Sick vid! I too have been into euc for years, but recently picked up skates about 2 weeks ago, for me and my son. Free skates have been fun to ride, but damn it's much more difficult to learn vs euc. learning how to pump, is the tough part.

    • @jmkride

    I been practice on freeskate for q sometime yet I can't really do it on flat floor more then 50 meter. Can some one please advise . Kind of 😞 frustration

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  Před rokem +2

      Hey there! Try practicing on a very slight decline. The extra speed should help you with balance/staying upright, so then you can focus on learning the motion. Practice the motion until you feel it start to propel you, and then transfer that knowledge to flat ground, and then eventually uphill when you’re comfortable :)
      Here’s one of our many beginner tutorials, specifically on pumping: czcams.com/video/l1_xDF97Gvg/video.html
      Never give up and feel free to ask questions if you’re still stuck. You’ve got this! 💯

    The EUC seems really heavy. How would you say it works for hopping on a train as part of your commute?

    • @ionbusman2086
      @ionbusman2086 Před rokem +2

      Many have handles. So you can roll them like luggage. Very heavy tho

    • @360vroomers
      @360vroomers Před rokem +2

      The longer the range and higher top speed, the heavier it is. But on flats it is effortless to trolley them around. Carrying them up stairs takes work. The medium ones aren’t too bad at 50 or 60lbs you get used to it. The long range ones are about 100 lbs and are hard to carry up stairs. Hopefully you have elevators or escalators.

  • @JeskaRain
    @JeskaRain Před rokem +1

    Look. No offense but it's no contest here. EUC is the greatest thing since toilet paper. If you have the money get an EUC it's the only PEV you can casually roll up to a table in a restaurant and no one cares or even notice. They literally just think you're trolleying a strange looking suitcase.

    • @jmkride
      @jmkride  Před rokem

      They're definitely amazing! I feel similarly about freeskates - One of my favorite things is being able to roll up to a store, restaurant, etc and just hide the skates next me or slide them into a bag... Insanely small profile, yet immediate (and infinite, due to no charging) accessibility!
