Gabe takes JMK Freeskates from airport security to the seatback pocket
John, a fellow traveler, becomes the camera operator in an airport vlog that has reached about 1.5 million views.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Traveling with freeskates! 🛹
John has a question: do they strap onto your shoes? Gabe gives him a demonstration, and the airport encounter soon has its own volunteer cameraman.
"Traveling with freeskates! 🛹" is the most watched of JMK Freeskates' four uploads this week. The promotional travel vlog follows Gabe through security, across the terminal and onto a plane, showing how compact the skates are along the way. A TSA officer inspects them, another passenger practices standing on them, and John films Gabe rolling down the jet bridge.
"Looks like you're dancing, almost," John says. The less graceful but equally useful demonstration comes onboard: Gabe fits the skates into the seatback pocket. That little storage gag makes the travel pitch more tangible than another stretch of smooth pavement would.
Viewers keep mentioning John and his helpful turn behind the camera. Others have practical questions: how the skates handle rough pavement, how long learning takes, and whether straps can help someone worried about balance. The conversation is as much about getting started as getting somewhere.
The airport upload and "This kid is a natural! 🛹" carry the strongest viewing momentum right now. October's ""We gotta get those!" 🛹" also continues to draw an audience, giving the newer posts some company.
Across the channel, subscribers held steady this week, while today's viewing is less than half the usual daily level. Even so, JMK Freeskates collected nearly seven million views over the week, the largest weekly total among its nearby sports-channel peers. Meandmygolf and Global Triathlon Network are also running below their usual daily viewing levels. For JMK Freeskates, the airport trip supplies the week's most distinctive encounter: a stranger asks how it works, then helps film the answer.

@generalchavezSee it on YouTubeJohn came in clutch!
@moselleconger4156See it on YouTubeI have a couple questions as I’m not too sure about getting them:
1. How bumby of a path can you use them on-where I live has terrible pavement
2. How long does it take to properly learn them and get on them and cruise with ease
3. Is it really worth the price, like will I just forget about them after I learn or will it actually get used
Thanks for any answers!@LeonPhillippsSee it on YouTube

@TashaBryanRENegadeSee it on YouTubeI appreciate John as well😅
@cutlowindacutlow1067See it on YouTuberespect john 👍
@TheB777-9XSee it on YouTubeI would have strapped them to the underside of the luggage so I could haul that around easier. Or maybe make somewhat of a portable luggage/chair out of it instead of the motorized luggage. 🤔 Surf’s up!
@Lisa-w5w1bSee it on YouTubeYoo love the freeskates, just one question. Is there a modification that adds straps for your feet for them to prevent falling off it? I'm not good with balance. Thanks!
