Freeskates is a type of sports equipment made of two separate metal or wooden decks with two polyurethane in-line wheels attached to the underside by a pair of angled trucks. It is referred to as freeskating, freeline skating, or drift skating.
==History== Freeskates were developed in 2002 in San Francisco by Ryan Farrelly, and a patent was filed by Farrelly and Jason Galoob in 2003. Farrelly founded a company called Freeline which sold freeskates starting in 2005. Freeline Sports, Inc has since gone out of business. Freeskating is practiced around the world. In 2015, former members of the original brand (Freeline) came together to create JMKRIDE. Based in San Diego, California JMKRIDE aimed to revive the sport. The sport was rebranded to be called "freeskating" to reach worldwide riders.
