How hard are freeskates to learn?

Freeskates are easier to learn than you'd think! With proper instruction, it's possible to be riding downhill and on flat in about 5 hours and conquering slight hills in around 15 hours (~1-2 weeks of consistent practice).

To put this in perspective, this is less time than it takes to learn juggling, unicycling, or how to ollie on a skateboard.

A complete set is comprised of wheels, bearings, trucks, decks, and grip tape.

• Our decks are painted aircraft-grade aluminum.

Any Assembly Required?

Yes, minor assembly is necessary. The skates are shipped partially assembled in a box. The decks must be attached using the included tool and the grip must be applied. See our assembly tutorial here: Assembly tutorial.

How can I connect with the community?

Join "USA Freeskaters" on Facebook. We try to approve requests same-day, but please reach out via messenger or email if there is an issue with this.

Don't be shy to ask for help! Everyone in the freeskate community loves to help share this fantastic sport, and everyone was in your shoes at one time. No one has ever hopped on freeskates and been able to just ride away.

Is there a weight limit?

We have a 300lb+ former MMA fighter and a 500lb+ TikToker use our skates. The steel truck and solid construction hold up very well to most weights, and we have not encountered any human weight limits yet.
