You should try pierre gignoux skate pro. Boots are much larger

Hello Elias!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! Yes! I was just skiing with my teammate who's sole fell off his classic roller ski boots! Thanks for letting us know!! And If you ever think of it, I would super appreciate it if you came back to let us know how the alpine boots treat you! Please let us know if they're good or bad!! Thank you ! Happy skiing!

Hi Andrew!! Excellent!! That is a very impressive ratio Ha! Great work getting in all those miles! Will you get to race on snow with all that fitness? Or will you still be on pavement this winter? (winter for the northern hemisphere I guess ha) I'm so glad to hear the newer swenors are holding up well! Thank you so much for sharing this! I hope others read your comment!

@@eriklynch7037 Thx Erik - I enjoy all of your videos. Just bought some IDTs based on your review, from RollerSkishop. Looking forward to trying them. I'll be switching to snow, as soon as it arrives :). Cheers, Andrew

hahaha well, with practice its not too dangerous, and Its red commonly to slow down for corners on a lot of roller ski courses in Europe, especially when its raining! Definitely practice at your own risk ha! But I like to have all the options of slowing down available! T-stop does wear out your wheels quickly! But I've used my helmet dragging on the ground and used my poles to stop for some emergencies! I'll sacrifice some gear for less road rash sometimes! Good luck Thank you so much for watching! Happy skiing!

Roller skiing Is amazing! I hope one day we can have more dedicated roller skiing facilities in the USA like they Have in Europe! The would be great for the sport!

Hi! Thank you so much for watching!! I weigh usually around 170lbs. about 77kg. Great questions!! The length, wheel base, and wheel size on all these skis in the video are very similar for each of those categories! Thank you so much for asking! The IDT's in the video are IDT skate elites. IDT makes a roller ski that is shorter by about one wheel length called the IDT skate.

Hello Scott! Thank you so much for taking his messages and call! I am very excited for our call tomorrow! I really can thank you enough for meeting with us! And thank you so much for taking a peak at my UA-cam channel! I believe there is MASSIVE room for improvement!😁

Hello Josh!! Thank you so much for the question!! I hope I'm not too slow with the reply! Yes!! The skate elite are longer than the IDT skate model by about one wheel length. I do prefer the feel and stability of the skate Elite, BUT, they are both excellent skis! and you can improve and train hard on both! I do love them both! And, We just raced nordic combined Norwegian summer nationals here in Lillehammer on the regular skate model! they were awesome! And worked great! Let me know if that helps! Happy skiing!

Hahaha!! You are so very welcome!! Well, the parts I left out of the video are some emergency dive off the road or dive into the ditch etc. Those kind of move might really save you as well! Its very tough and crazy being on the road on these things in traffic sometimes ha! Stay safe! Good luck!! Good luck to us all!! Happy skiing!

Hi Jeff!! Nice! I'm so happy to hear you're loving it!! There's a whole wild world filled with us who love it! Some times it feels a little spread out or hidden in the U.S. ha! Right now I'm using a rossaignol water belt, same one I use for winter. one of those boxy looking things ha. Probably some good examples on google if you type in "cross country skiing water belt" on google! Thank you!! happy skiing!

Thank you very much!! Great question! Sorry of the maybe disappointing answer ha! I love the old school, pen paper, word doc, and Excel spread sheet! I just love a simple layout! It helps me plan and design, then easily change and tweak as needed as training load needs to be adjusted or weather effects plans etc. If you have any recommendations that help you plan and keep it simple I'd love to hear! Thank you!

I"m doing the same thing, putting my training on paper, for a follow-up, doing the job.

@@ericjou094 ha yes! IT certainly does the job! Sorry I didn't have something more clever, let me know if you come across something that's more convenient! Thank you!

Thank you Nik!! Thank you so much for watching! I hope it was helpful!! Happy skiing!!

Hi Gavin! Thank you so much!! I hope to try them! I wish I knew how to get roller ski companies to send me skis!! ha! I love a nice durable ski!! Thank you for shoring this valuable information!

Lets gooooo!!😁😁

Hello!! YES! absolutely!You can buy IDT direct but! Your comment is so valuable because, like you say, you might not want a stiffer ski because yes! the Road vibrations are ver intense sometimes depending on the road surface ha! I'm glad you found skis that work better for you and I really hope other people come here and read your comment! thank you! I really appreciate you! Happy skiing! please let me know if there's a video I could make that would be helpful!

haha!! Thank you so much! YES! I know you would love it!!

Thank you So much!! It was so fun! And I was actually pretty scared halfway through haha

Thank you so much!! I wouldn't get to be here doing this without you!!! Thank you!! I hope you get some good healthy meals and snacks in return!! Thank you!!

😂😂 Haha! Thank you so much for watching!! I hope that I didn't sound that dramatic haha! I'm just being very nit picky, from the stiffness the roller skis I like, compared to the softness of the pursuits just drives me a bit crazy ha. But yes the pursuits are absolutely skiable, I just did a 10k race on them in soldier hollow Utah because we had to race on them so everyone had the same skis. They're fine, if I'm being picky, which I am when it comes to gear, I much prefer. something stiffer. But you'll absolutely learn and be great using those skis! keep up the great work!! Thank you for the comment, hopefully I'll see you out and about roller skiing or skiing!! Happy skiing!

Hiiii!! Thank you so much for asking this was a good thorough review!!🙏🙏🙏 I appreciate you sooooo much!! 🥰 Hmmmm As for me...... I just so happen to have a girlfriend who is the most wonderful woman on earth!! She's so smart! Funny! Beautiful! Fast! Fun! Genuine! Lovely! She's a sharp shooter, beautiful mountain runner, Gorgeous mama, Lover of whales! 🐳🐋🐬🦭 I Love her So Much!! Her name is Britt Nicole Dick! I want to marry her and keep getting to know her, and connect with her more and more deeply over the decades to come! So, you'll have to ask her what she thinks!!😘 Happy skiing!!!! Happy training!!😘

Thank you so much for watching!! I hope it was a little helpful!!

Thank you so much!! Thank you for watching!! Happy skiing!

Thank you very much!! YES! I hope so ha! With roller skiing, possibly, that's not an understatement!!

😃😀😁😆😃Yes!! Yay! That's correct! I hope it helps!!

Hi Jim! thank you so much for writing this!! Yes! abosolutley I should try a few pair of touring roller skis and get some miles on them to really give an honest take on them! I have tried a few briefly in the past, and like you stated, great for building strength in a wide range of areas! I would have to try them again though to get an updated opinion! I know There are many people you use and love them so I think that information would be very helpful, and thus why your comment is so valuable! Thank you for contributing so much to the conversation!! I hope to add more too it as well! take care! happy skiing! -Erik

Hi Nithael!! Thank you so much for what you wrote!! this is Very valubale infomation and I really hope others who watch this video scroll down to read this!! First, Yes! I totally found the same thing with the trail to road skis! I feel I can get so much more benefit from the road skis! I really hope people read what your said about the brakes!! Yes! they can be sucha good way to start, and become more comfortable with downhills and tricky downhills, until you are ready for more advanced ways to control your speed downhill like I will show in my next video!! So helpful to mention and I should mention it more! I think its great you have a pair of pursuits and they are working for you!! I think they will suit many people very well! So that's a good remind that you can absoltley improve using them! I personally think as you do more sprints and put more power through your skis would be the most noticable difference if you were to compare to some IDT's. I hope you get to try them one day too!!! Thank you so much for watching!! I appreciate you!

AH yes true! Thank you!! Very True! I should have also mentioned I've gained skills dodging rattle snakes, tarantulas, and wild turkeys on roller skis as well. I shouldn't leave out this information when I'm speaking on my roller ski career!🙏

Yes! Thank you so much Bjorn! this is the exact comment I want people to be leaving! I also know plenty of people who have no issue with the pursuit roller skis. So I really hope people scroll down to read this, and hear your experience. And it's great to hear you've had no issues with the non flex models, and found them to be more affordable! I think that would suit a lot of people well! Thank you for the helpful information! Happy skiing!

​@@eriklynch7037 Were the Pursuits you showed the Fork Flex or Fork Extra Flex? I'm wondering if their recommendation that folks <175lb go with the Extra Flex is erring especially on the softer side? Also thanks for this great rundown!

@@danurban6398 Those were the fork flex skis! Great question!! I personally think with the flexing aluminum frames with holes in them, the extra flex and fork flew is way too soft for accurate ski feel. But That's me! I'm currently putting some time in with 4 of their stiffer pairs of skis, theirs some inconsistencies between them which is funny, but I can probably give a further update in about a month more of getting some time on those.Thank you so much! Good luck!!

@@eriklynch7037 Thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing your updated reviews, but this has been very helpful in the meantime. I wouldn't expect these to be included in the review because I believe they were recalled for safety reasons, but have you skied on the Swix Triac composite skate skis? If so, how do you think they compared to the ones here? They're what I'm skiing on now, but probably don't want to risk it too much longer even though I've had no problems with them.

Thank you so much!! Any leads on a videography so I can make better videos like this?🙏

YES!! Thank you so much for this comment! This is the exact comment I hope people scroll down to read! I also have some teammates who love their Atomics! When they fit well, sucha good boot!! Thank you for sharing this!

Ah I see!! Yes! I understand what you meant now! I hope my video can help narrow down some choices for people with the common brands that remain! 🙏 And I'll have to check out all those roller ski companies, as I only have experience with a few myself!

Thank you so much!!!! Thank you for watching!! I am SO happy you appreciated my perspective and my review!!!!!!!!🙂

Thank you very much! and Thank you so much for watching! And Thank you so much for Commenting!!

Hi! thank you for the comment! Do you mind sharing what, or which boot is half it once was? Thank you!

YES!! Thank you so much for asking that!! I am so interested to try the Madshus Skate X system!! Hopefully I can try to find a way this early season! Yes! I probably have the most miles in y life so far in Madshus boots! I found them to be the most comfortable as well some years back!! I totally agree! the speed max, especially up hill, make my feet feel light and fast!! Do you know of any way to try those new Madshus boots??

Also Bjorn, I hope its ok to make a video on this about the Madshus Skate X. Just a video going a little deeper on my thoughts.

Thank you sooo Much!! I really appreciate you watching!! I hope It helped!

Thank you so much for watching!! Sure thing! I just posted a video that is hopefully helpful on how to brake and slow down and control speed downhill on roller skis! I hope you enjoy!! Happy skiing!!

Hello!! I'm so Sorry I missed your comment!! And I'm sorry I'm slow to respond!! This is such a good question!! It really depends on the person and how you best keep your balance and efficiency. Some people really like keeping their feet close and get very close to the other foot as they are about to step for the next stride. Some people keep their leg out wide to help with balance a bit. So it is individual and can change for technique and terrain! Most important is to try a few different things and find what is most comfortable, fast, and efficient for you! It may change over time! good luck! I hope your skiing has been going well!

Thank you SO MUCH Ray! I appreciate you so much! It was such a fun race in such a beautiful venue! Ha its always fun when a 25k race comes down to a sprint finish!! Happy skiing! I hope your summer is going well!

Some adjustable poles??? WWWhhhaaattt??? Long pole useless?? HUUUHHH??? It'd be hilarious using adjustable poles, maybe I'll make that a video haha

P.S. I'm holding a camera behind my back to film

Thank you soooo MUCH! When I hear that these videos are helpful it meant the world to me!! Happy skiing! I hope your training and progression is going well!!

Yay! Thank you so much!! I'm glad it was fun to watch! Mastering the basics opens up worlds of freedom!! I'm excited for you!! I hope your training and progress is going well!! Good luck! Let me know if theres a question or video I could make to help!! Take care!

HI!! Thank you SO much for the question!! For the most part for V1 you plant poles and load very in sync with the ski glide! For V2, you plant anload the pole about halfway through your ski glide roughly. depending n you, your balance, and terrain. I hope that makes sense!! In other words on V2 you glide on you ski, then, right as you begin to push out with your foot is when you plant and load the poles! So it will still be in good rhythm with your ski glides, just a different rhythm than your V1! Good luck! let me know if you need more details or another video! I can explain more! Happy training!

:)
