Goldway Drift Skate Plates with Pu Wheels ABEC-7 Bearings

OK so let start with the fact that I am a very advanced rider, so I started in 2005 or 06 when freeline first came out. Although I'm advanced I haven't been on a pair of original freeline skates for 5 years. I bought a pair of theses with the black wheels.So first of all. For the price, they are decent skates. As far as size they seem to be the same. They are lower to the ground like others have said so me having size 14 feet I can tell the difference. My shoes have already started to wear from some catching while carving.So the problems I have are.The spacers in between the bearings are crap, take them out asap. They are big plastic clunky things.Next, there are only washers against the nuts and not in between the inner side of the skates so I was getting rubbing on the bearing case from the inner side. Because of that the bearings have dents that slow them down.Also the threads on the axles are to short and will only tighten down to almost exactly where you need them for the wheels that come with the skates.The nuts that come on them have cheap plastic unlike regular skateboarding nuts where the plastic lasts a while these, once you unrighteousness them once they are able to be pulled off and put on with finger strength.I've been riding my skates for about 2 hours a day for 3 days now and I already need new bearings and wheels.They were decent the first 3 days but my rear carving wheel seemed to disintegrate very fast so it is now on the front so I can wear them evenly.Overall these are great for learning on a budget but I wouldn't recommend them to advanced rides. I myself will be picking up some Freeline Pros instead of buying new bearings and wheels. I never had any complains about my original freelines when I had them.Hope this was useful.The frames on these were sturdy and overall worth the price to make sure I could get back into freeline so if you are learning these would be great but be sure to remove the spacers and add a set of washers to the inside before rides so you don't ruin the bearings.

I originally ordered these to test out the style of riding before deciding if I wanted to get the real deal ones (which are wooden deck and lighter weight), and I must say that for such a price the quality is exactly as you would expect. Very mediocre and fitting to just try out. After the first two weeks of learning how to go about learning the way to skate these, I opted for a set of different wheels by a different manufacturing company.What you should know before ordering these :- These are knock-off brands. They handle exceptionally well, except the description they provide is extremely stretched. When mine came, they were seen to be slightly used, the bottom of the edges were worn down, and the left and right foot indicators on the sides of the plates are not entirely correct.- The wheels they come in are very low quality. They will absolutely not benefit you when first learning how to ride these. You need specifically smooth wheels to finely adjust to the way you ride and feel the ground beneath the wheels.-It will take time to learn how to ride these. Practicing these a few hours spread over a couple of weeks was how I came to learn how to ride these. If you are serious about trying these out, by all means order them. The better ones cost three times as much as these but they live up to the price. There are tutorials on how to learn these on the internet.Overall, I use these to get around on a college campus and they've worked just fine. The state they come in is exaggerated in the description as with the wheels and it looked to be slightly used. The looks and comments I get while skating these are hilarious and overall from a good atmosphere. If you don't mind being asked "WHAT'RE THOSE" every 5 minutes then come knock yourselves out.

Get some REDS bearings for these bad boys and some official Free line wheels and you have your self a very very nice pair of almost perfect legit freelines these have a slightly lower ride height so larger feet during sharp leans will catch the ground sooner than on original free lines. The plate is also slightly smaller than original free lines, but for the price its worth it to have a pair of these for guests to learn on and ride while you ride whatever floats your boat!I love freelining, once you get past the learning curve you're hooked.

too low and very hard to learn it , if can avoid

My daughter loves these even though they are hard to do tricks on. It only gets three stars because the bearings were slow and we had to replace them after a week which cost another $20. Fun product - good exercise.

Good product for what i paid. Im sure they wont last forever, but for under 50 bucks just buy another pair.

These are impossible!

I got these for $35. I had never free skated before but I was able to quickly learn on these and now I'm having a lot of fun with them cruising around. I will probably get around to replacing the bearings eventually but these ones work fine. Worth the money.
