Useful ski for a beginner, as I, to learn and practice fundamentals. Very stable on both smooth and rough asphalt. However, after a couple of weeks, a nut fell off a rear wheel. The ski's other nuts appear tight.
I am enjoying my roller skis. This is an opportunity of me to be outside engaging in a new activity that will help me be ready for XC skiing. The quality of the rollers is excellent. I received good advice about wheels appropriate for me.
I needed ski for training. on flat surface. To avoid double polling I ordered pair with both slow wheels (3) . Even with slow wheels speed little too fast (compare skiing on snow) ,but no double pooling . Quality of ski is very good. I might order set of extra slow wheels to try. rollerskishop.com provided few good tips related to product and delivery was super fast.

Bought these two years ago from RSS. My first ski was horrible, as they did not track straight, and I fell twice.. After following Swenor's directions on how to correct the issue, I still had little success. So, I took matters into my hands and used a vice-grip to bend the forks slightly and that did the trick, kind of. Not recommended, really! Tracking, now, is acceptable. Another complaint, compared to my aluminum skis, these are very heavy; trying to do skate turns feels cumbersome. And the height of the wheels makes these feel a bit wobbly. On the good side, they do soak up vibration better than aluminum, however, I did a 3 hour DP on rough roads, and at the end, my feet were rather dumb...would have been a nightmare on aluminum, though. All in all, these are decent roller skis, popular with most. Would I buy again??? Well, I'd have to try them first to see about tracking, otherwise, yes!
Great roller ski
Good dampening as we have rougher chip seal roads
Not the roller ski's issue I suspect but as a newbie I definitely found these more challenging going downhill. The skate style roller skis seem much easier to control. I could have used the slowest wheel in the rear to start with for sure.
I'm new to rollerski, althugh have been doing cross country for over 30 years. These are my first - feels very nice - smooth, stable, fairly easy to control (for me this being the first rollerski - was important). I'd definitely recommend it.
