Looks soo stupid

[JMouzone990]

Can You easily switch the wheels out? To make it look cool because im not a big fan of the shade of blue you start out with

[replay115808]

what was the name of this song mix?

[slapshotdt]

do they have straps of some sort

[Theartmasterpiece12]

@cyclone534 Agree with Ryno! It said so in one of the videos with Team AXIS leader Rob Cruz and Tim Fox and Freeline skates inventor Ryno!

[Theartmasterpiece12]

Thanks Darren!! You rock! Aww they look so cool. I was going to order GROM skates with green OG wheels and a yellow edge guard. Maybe different bearings like ABEC 9 or BSB swiss. I love light stuff!

[bobbin1765]

@Inryx I believe they will last alot more if you have an edgeguard. My sister wants groms so badly she really wants to be sponsored like JasCobb. I casterboard XD

[Inrxz]

how durable are they, do they chip easily and last long from heavy usage?

[iMrBencivenni]

White socks.

[FreelineTheNextRide]

@cyclone534 It definitely helps! there are a lot of crossover casterboarders

[WeThEgReEnPeOpLe]

Yo dood, I've got the groms right now and TBH I can't get any speed on 'em. I was planning on saving up for the OG's but can't really afford them haha. Do the OG wheels help that much? Cuz then I'd just buy the wheels.

[eiko0339]

@WeThEgReEnPeOpLe The wheels def do help.

[widdzzz]

hi i am going to buy some grom skates they dont sell the OG's in the UK just wondering if they would break easily doing tricks and what not, their only made of would and also would the alliminium bracket bend if ripping it up too much??

[thesmellyfish9000]

Do the edge protectors you sell on your website wor with these?



[FreelineTheNextRide]

@thesmellyfish9000 The Edge protectors we sell are actually made for the wooden decks, they also happen to fit on the OG skates too. These will allow your wood decks to last forever.

[thesmellyfish9000]

@FreelineTheNextRide Can i get any in pound sterling. I can't find ANY english websites that sell them.

[JaeMassAppeal]

what are the differences between the grom and the og wheels?

[buttoast]

i just got these skates today and im still having a really hard time and getting frustrated but i was wondering wouldnt the wood ware down really quick?

[shoefork]

@buttoast YES THE WOOD DOES! :(

[MetalMonster010]

how much can the groms hold? im just wondering cause im a BIG dude.

[mycwyse]

I was thinking about going this way for the mod-ability of the Grom, plus I think I would get the training wheels so I can teach both myself and others..... how long will it take till I get a pair of Freelines? Sooner than later.

[Skimn4life]

haha frickin Darren. you crazy mayn.

[sswazzle]

Grom skates are definitely a better product all around. stronger than the og's more flex more durability faster action less to worry about!

[dapizzamon22]

With my luck I'd probably break the GROM. The OG were built to be dummy proof, my right skate got run over by an SUV back in September and it still works perfectly.

[extinctstudios]

Wow, I wouldn't have thought of that. I'll probably try that out some day.

Btw, the editing and audio quality were superb! Good job.

[Hanagigi]

So is this version supposed to better or just more user-friendly than the classic freelines?

[FreelineTheNextRide]

@Hanagigi This is just a different version. You really gotta be the judge. It was originally made to be a lighter wood deck version that doesn't need to hold 3,000 lbs like the OG skates do. Darren likes this model better. Me, I'm used to the heavy ones (OGs) with the swing arms and fenders, but it's nice to have both! What's your preference?

[Hanagigi]

I don't really know, I have the OG ones, but I believe I'm the only owner of freelines in Italy XD

[Theartmasterpiece12]

@FreelineTheNextRide Darren Bates! When he did that video I was like I wanted something light, not heavy!!! :D
