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!

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!

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!

:)

Yes!! Did you make it this last winter? It was decent conditions most the year! Did you have some good training this last season? Good luck! Happy skiing!

Hahaha! YES! good eye!! The hill was SSOOOO steep! It was seriously race pace, heart rate so elevated even going that slow! ha! But it is also at 10,200 feet of elevation! Thank you so much for watching!! happy skiing!

Thank you so much! I did have a great race season!! And I'm just beginning to post some more roller ski videos!! Good luck! I hope your Training and progress is going well this summer!

Thank you so much Enrique!! I definitely had a busy race season! But I'm trying to get a few more videos out this summer!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! It i so encouraging for me! I really appreciate you!

MUCH MORE??? hmmmmm I'll leave much more to you.

Hello Mikhail! Thank you so much for the encouraging words!! that helps me so much!! I am trying to put out a few more videos!! Please let me know if there is anything helpful I could make a video about!! Good luck with training!

That would be amazing to see you jump it! It rarely gets ready, and they might tear it down in a few years 😱Maybe I'll tell you next time its ready! Ha

Thank you SO much!! I really appreciate you watching!! I hope it helped a little 🙏

Haha! it definitely draws attention ha but sometimes I go out and rollers at 4:30 am and no one sees me then 😄

Hey! Thank you so much for commenting that! haha! Yeah we have a couple spots on the mountain that are steep enough for that, maybe I'll tackle that next!🙃 Ihope you get some more fun days out there!

Thank you so much for saying that!!! I really appreciate it! Have a great roller ski!

Haha, I hope you try it 3 more times and let me know what you think! the balance can come fast and I can explain that more if you want. I hope you try no poles roller skiing and just swing your arms like you are roller blading until you get comfortable with that balance. practice that long drawn out, exaggerated glide on each leg/ski. once you can do that at will ad in the poles and arms. Also to rest the legs if needed in-between practicing no poles drills, do some double pole, practicing polling at different tempos. good luck!

Thank you SO Much for saying that!! I really almost didn't post this video because I was annoyed at the quality, that I just stuck my almost dead battery phone, in the side of the snow bank, and that it didn't quite show what I wanted. But I really appreciate that! And I'm so glad it's helpful, despite everything!

Thank you so much! Are you starting your roller ski season soon? or has it already started?

Anything else I should make a video about for roller skiing? We are still on snow here but our roller ski season will start soon.

Thanks so much!! Good Luck! I hope you have some smooth pavement😁

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear it! yes, I hope that makes sense that those drills can really help self correct some issues that can occur going up steeper hills.
