Great video. Full span of difficulty there. Had never seen anyone mention one leg double polling, so a few mins of that is something to aim for now.

15.29 26th November Hi Scott, I did a week x country skiing 20 years ago, I’ve entered two x country races (!) at the world transplant winter games in Bormio, we lost our son Charley over four years ago and he gave his heart, liver and two kidneys to four recipients. We recently met the lady with his heart. I’m 59, overweight, unfit and have a back injury… that said I’ve bought some cheap roller skis from Decathlon and I intend to follow your drills daily until my event! Just thought you’d like to know.. consider yourself my instructor/ coach! Thank you for this great video, I’m going to do all the drills without skis for the next 2 weeks, the games start on March 2nd 2024…

Interesting drills, and I may give them a try. Been roller skiing for over 25 years and skiing for 50, so my balance confidence is high, but I don’t see how these might solve the real issue causing falls for me: hitting an unseen stone, pavement defect, or stick that stops the ski cold when you are gliding fully committed and powered up. The young elites here who see me with knee pads probably laugh at the old man, but I hate leaving skin on the track the once or twice a season it happens. There are two kinds of roller skiers; those who will fall, and those who will fall again.

I just got back from drill with my nose and chin scratched against tarmac and two fingers swollen. It was 17th kilometer per drill, I was gliding smoothly but tired. I let concentration fade away for a second and lost balance. One pole slipped across the ground, I couldn't prop myself up with it. The pavement was clear, no obstacles whatsoever. Maybe be blood pressure or sugar level dropped. My leg just failed me. I don't know what happened. I probably should have Incorporated these exercises in my drill, never done them before.

Oddly enough sometimes my balance gets better the more tired I get roller skiing. It must be that I'm more relaxed and less spazzy.

as a worm up or a cool down try a scooter with sneakers on, for that matter use a scoter all the times for cross training leg development. cool video , thanks
