Does it ride like Free-line skates? Do you propel yourself like free line skates?

It really rides like no other skate. Check the videos on youtube, there are even ones there to teach you how to skate. It will show you how to propel, how to move, turn, etc, which should answer most of your questions about how they work. Good luck!

It is quite easy to balance on this. I bought it for my son, but I have used it as well. The tricky thing is to sway, lean and bend to get it going, but with regard to balance, the foot pads are fairly wide apart which creates a broad tri-pod while cruising. It is a great workout for the upper legs and thighs. There are some good YouTube videos out there to give you a sense of how it propels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fixMqQ2GixY

Not really. It's more of a forward and backwards movement, not for circular movement. It's a little tough but it might be due to my wooden floors.

It works pretty well for me, it can get up to a good speed. Before I bought this I had never skated before, and now I'm decent at it. Just make sure to practice a little bit before you really use it

Not at all. It's a great board for the money. I bought one for my son back in February and he has been riding it 5-6 days a week. Strong deck, good wheels that handle pavement really well.

It can be done, although it's not necessarily the most comfortable pedaling. You'll definitely notice the lack of a larger platform under your foot, but I do it sometimes for short rides in a pinch.

It has pretty smooth tracking but in order to make it turn smooth make sure the wheels and that part of the board arent screwed on too tight! (:

Good morning, Aleksandre. Yes, this skate converts from a training skate to an inline skate. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, HearthSong Customer Service

No sir. I skate barefoot most of the time, and it seems to have a good amount of grip to it.

It's difficult...the easiest is goind down a slope but on a flat ground you must move a skatecycle like a snake, give a movement from your body to skatecycle and then it will accelerate, but that's not a speed king.

From my experience it reliably flies the route you give it. It will land where you tell it to.

Hey man, I ride this board downhill. The board comes with cruising wheels though, so if you're trying to do legit downhill (sliding) then you're gonna need a new set of wheels. This board is fantastic for cruising though, it has a beautiful feel in turns, it rides low and smooth.

Give it a push as you get on or just rock in your seat. It glides. Scott WebsBestStores

You turn the handles and use one leg/foot to propel yourself. Hope this helps, and sorry for the delay in replying.

Yes,you can pedal backwards. There's also resistance as you pedal backwards

No. You have to really try. It's extremely stable and very comfortable. Like many reviews, it's not the fastest or straightest kayak, but for the price. It's not a bad tandem kayak to get into
