Hey everyone,

So at the icebreaker party last night, I heard about this new forum where we could ask questions, so I'll try it out! Has anyone in the group bought roller skis before? I was thinking about getting Skike V07 Plus (that you can use regular running shoes with, and that have large wheels for using off pavement). Do you know if this would work well, or have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Marliese,
Thanks for trying out our new forum. We will try and be more responsive on future inquiries. The Skike do not really simulate nordic skiing as they have a locked heal and other restrictions. If interested in a rollerski with break, which may be important to new rollerskiers, check out the Woodski or the V2 (www.rollerskishop.com -or- www.bouldernordicsport.com/shop/c-108-rollerskis.aspx). Pursuit rollerskis are popular.

Also, BNS has a write up on rollerski safety that may be of interest, www.bouldernordicsport.com/Home/tabid/164/itemid/571/amid/2000/Default.aspx.

I hope this is helpful.

Thank you for the help!

Unfortunately, I actually got the V07 skis about a month ago... But so far, they have been pretty good! I like that the wheels are inflatable, so little rocks/etc don't trip you. We'll see how different it is when I get actual skis on again this year. I bet you're right though, with the way the heels are locked. ;D
