😃

No problem 😊

Thanks!

thank you! 🙏

I got a 5 wheel Roces skate that is like a dh board for the pavement, I hit 50 mph regularly on them on hills and super stable at speed. My daughter thinks I'm crazy at 52 yrs old still rippin the pavement but oh well, gotta grab the carve!

I will do a review of both with the pros and cons of each. Both are great tools but they do have limitations. In saying that they both are definitely the best training you can do off snow from a coordination, discipline and similar sensation point of view. Getting rollerblade frames to turn is slightly different mechanics compared to skiing (they don't have sidecut or length), knowing the differences and being aware of them is important. The strong adduction of outside foot and abduction of the inside foot with dorsiflexion you are seeing is one of these... Some people call this foot steering, and is very important for rollerblading, but you have to be very careful with how and when you use it in skiing as it can really mess people up in many situations. Knowing which speeds, snow, steepness, and turn types, rate and timing of where in the turn and why and ski dimensions that are appropriate for foot steering is critical. I just saw someone today on youtube/facebook/instagram post about foot steering getting it completely wrong. The demonstration in their skiing was not showing it at all, and they showed the wrong timing and concept for actually where it should be applied in skiing. Unfortunately this person has a big reach and they can't demo it in their skiing and have the timing wrong which will mess some people up.

the other thing is, i need to do a video run on the same road...The skiroad sequences were filmed about 2 months ago maybe and it is on much steeper terrain compared to the rollerblades... Controlling speed requires different timings too, whereas i was doing more of a pump turn on the rollerblades which was generating speed and not controlling speed. So that is something to note as well.

@@ReillyMcGlashan is that the guy in the black/neon green gear you're talking about?

@@mborsik I cannot confirm or deny if that is him.

Honestly I am happy I didn't buy the conversion kit. Instead I bought a pair of PS Next boots with 4*110mm, 355mm base. Not the same support as a ski boot, but for the relatively smooth surface of concrete/ asphalt, honestly The support isn't needed. I can effectively mimic alpine ski carving better than any other sport, with added benefits over traditional alpine skiing to top it off. The set up is heavy, but working up the hills is fun of it's own.

I have tried those other ones but they are scary... I didn't like them. These single frame rollerblade style is much better for me.

@@ReillyMcGlashan could you elaborate on what was scary about the dual front wheel setup, it seems more ski-like

the skiroad is rockered, the rollerblades are not rockered

@@ReillyMcGlashan Thanks for the answer. But, may I ask one more question -- at what circumstances the front wheels are used? Or, is it that just the manufacturer's design and you don't use them?

both are very good but the skiroad is more like skiing

🤣 no I just broke one pole from each set so now that’s what I have

@@ReillyMcGlashan so it is not that you have one exact same pair.

😁😂😂😂😂

You don't need them. They help more with getting back up the hill. And more with rhythm on the downhills. Get that rhythm going with short / long turn combos, the carbide tips make a good beat.
