great video especially for a beginner like me. I got the roller skis and there is no way to slow the wheels down. But informing us that you need to put weight down and propel with the pole helps as I wasn't doing that.
sjuas690: "Must get some of those rollerskis and try 'em out on the cobbled streets of Cambridge." Yes, do so, but in that case with cobbled streets I would recommend pneumatic wheels like e.g. on Jenex V2 XL150RC or XL150S. Other brands with pneumatic wheels are Powerslide, Ski Skett, Skirollo and Jove.
Hi, thanks for description. Do you have any videos with exercises to improve the offset using rollerskis? I have a lot of difficulties with this technique. Than you again!
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍 I simply do not understand the use of the helmit while roller skiing on the flat. No runners would wear an helmit while running and yet they move much faster than a roller skier.
Thank you. Helmets are a choice, unless you are racing or in a sanctioned event. All it takes is a small pebble, a dog or car. Runners can stop on a dime. Rollerskis cannot.
Thanks, great video! Any tips on adjusting the breaks? I've got classic roller skis with brakes but I have the impression I have to lean back too much to effectively break. Not sure whether they are properly adjusted. Good rides :)
Sorry, i have a question about your speech. In the video you explain how to break with skating rollerski. but, how do you do it with classic rollerski?
I must say I’ve watched a lot of videos on this (I’m a beginner with no experience on skis). This video was simply incredible. Thanks so much.

Adjust the brake to make it easy to activate. Just make sure it doesn't engage during regular striding.

Most rollerskis do not have brakes and you have to plan your stops by coasting down.
Great tutorial
Yes, I agree.
