It sounds like you could mount some alpine bindings on them and use them like normal skis. I think this would be real fun to try, but unfortunately I am broke and saving for COC. Someone should demo them or try them or buy them.

A pic for the lazy people.

sorry to jack your thread, but does anyone know what ever happened to Boone's idea of some type of roller ski?

 

[m.brus]

I'd rather just use roller blades but it'd be fun to try.

in high school i was on the nordic ski team and we used those to train when we didnt have snow. they were pretty fun to bomb around on hills but you can't really stop too well one them so yeah.

i was thinking this to ... take skis cut out the a strip down the skis and just take like 80 ( prob exagrated idk ) roller blade wheels and some how attach them down the middle where the strip is cut out ... so you have skis with a bunch of wheels so u can still go into presses ect and still roll ... just my 5 cents .. i no this prob wouldnt work .. but would be wicked sick

man that would be hlarious, and super heavy. probably would do nasty things to your knees.

I tried it. Didn't work. I'll post picks of what I came up with when I can dig them up.

I remember seeing in a PSIA magazine an add for freestyle roller skis. That was about 5 years ago, and I could never find them. Those in the OP are for cross country skiing like someone said

[TheBeardedOne]

what are we supposed to discuss.. they're for nordic skiing training as somebody already said about the same thing that was posted..

 

[teleak]

those are for nordic training in summer

 

[cultrara]

these look fun

 

[Lemuel]

^That is actually pretty sick.

The grass skis that they have in one of the TC episodes look pretty legit

 

[kylebrazil]

kinda wish that guy spoke english so i know what he was saying

 

[Mr.Huck]

Damn,

These could change everything. The guy could actually make wedge turns and do a hockey stop on those. A few tweaks and those are going to be unreal. The possibilities are endless.

so many people use these roller skis for XC skiing in the summer here in anchorage
