      Could always start learning them yourself? Then you’d get to see them in action first hand 😉.

      It’s quite cheap to buy an off-brand pair on eBay. I got a pair (they’re branded “Drift Skates”) for £12 and have been using them for almost a year now. I also have JMKRIDE skates, but haven’t used them yet. If you do go for off-brand skates, you should probably also get higher-quality bearings and grip tape. The stock bearings didn’t last long for me and I wear down the Jessup Ultragrip I use so quickly that I have to replace it about once every 2 months.

      For actually learning to ride, JMKRIDE has a great tutorial playlist for beginners.
