WE ARE

Since 2015, JMKRIDE has been dedicated to growing and supporting the sport of freeskating. While other freeskate-selling companies facelessly profit on the freeskate market, we at JMKRIDE reinvest our time and money in the freeskating community both in-person, through local events and meetups, as well as online by maintaining several social media pages and group forums in the United States and worldwide.

We see a bright future for freeskating just over the horizon. Don't miss out, and join us in ushering in the next revolution in human-powered skating. Roll with us.

MEET THE DREAM TEAM

CEO & Co-founder

Jon Gorden

Jon was devastated when the first freeskate company went out of business. Unable to accept the fate of freeskating, he and four other former employees took matters in their own hands, bringing with them crucial experience of what to do, and what not to do, in running a freeskate company.

Head of Sales & Co-founder

Mattie Tyce

Mattie was one of the first freeskaters ever. His background in skateboarding set him up to be a true pioneer of the sport, and scored him the credit for inventing much of the tricks considered fundamental to the sport today.

CTO & CMO

Jeff Milling

From Facebook to freeskating. Jeff's true passion for freeskating, and strong background in software development makes him our go-to for all things website, forums, and online marketing.

Social Media Manager & Videographer

Gabe Altier

Our man on the inside! Gabe, our youngest team member, lives and breaths all things social media. He brings experience and passion for creating engaging content across many platforms including YouTube, Instagram, and Tik Tok.

Our Origin Story.

In 2015, the future of freeskating was uncertain...

The original freeskate company was being shut down by their investors for bad business practices, and the community that they had built was tragically dissolving. Our four co-founders had met each other through the global freeskate community, and they could not accept losing the friends and connections they cherished so much. When many of the original riders were abandoning the sport, our co-founders came together to keep the sport alive, and give the community something to rally around. After three years of collaborative design with some of the best freeskaters in the world, the freeskate was completely re-imagined with numerous improvements never-before-seen to the world, and our flagship freeskate was ready. JMKRIDE was born from the ashes.
