New in our Christmas Fantasy Parade this year:

They just skate around and then sometimes.. they pretend to tuck. That's about it. I was told (by one of them, I'm figuring..it was thru instagram) that I could not do it because "I'm a girl, they only have guys and it takes a lot of skill and practice".

ok.

I hated doing that for Nordic land training. I'd always push out to far and scrape my "edges" against the concrete. really non-desireable endings the first few times I actually got moving at a decent speed

I have a friend who uses these frequently. He's a biathlete, and he's hoping to go to Sochi. Guess it's just a way of training...

Tons of serious xcountry skiers use rollerskis, but I'd imagine with alpine bindings they're just really awkward and clumsy inline skates.
