Have you got more recent versions of these videos with better sound? That high-pitched buzzing makes these painful to watch, yet they're some of the more informative roller skiiing videos available.
Imagine if they had these with a swivled wheels in the middle like a freeboard!!! It would be amazing and just like real skiing someone please invent real roller skis
You can go quite fast on the downhills....then it can be dangerous. As a form of transportation you have quite a few extras to bring...roller skis, poles, boots. Otherwise you could use it.
@diddymuck I skate to work with rollerblades but they are quick release blades and then you can walk in the boots that come with it. I use telescopic poles too so it isn't much to carry. I won't mention any brands but you can Google and find quick release rollerblades. It works for me.
@diddymuck When I go roller skiing I usually average around 16 km/h. Top speed depends on the route, but typically in the range between 40 and 50 km/h.
Roller skiing is great fun and good training - try it!
Looks to me like you lean too much forward/stoop to o much. A straighter posture, looking forward instead of down, will make it easier putting more energy into your strides without loosing balance. Easier to increase speed, and a more powerful kick! It will also be more lika snow skiiing, where you need more force downwards in order to grip the snow
HI: Thanks for the note, however note that most skiers stand too upright when they diagonal stride since they have poor balance. I have had good luck getting people to think about more forward lean when striding so they can balance abit longer and hence glide on their skis. Remember much of what I present are drills which are designed to problems.
Thanks for making this video. I've been taking ski lessons here in Winnipeg and want to continue the summer months with classic roller skiing. May I ask what brand/model your classic roller skis are? Thx.

HI: Yes they do. The wheels usually only roll one way.

In classic roller skis, do the wheels have any type of ratcheting system in them so you can kick?
