GO SKI GO BOARD: Introduction to Rollerskiing

[@Magnus--Johansson]

Very nice that roller skiing seems to increase in popularity in England. I hope some of the roller skiers begin with cross-country skiing as well.

Awesome! Can you actually teach somebody that never x-country ski on the snow how to roller ski? That would be very interesting to see the approach taken. On the snow falling once in a while is a great way to improve your balance because you are trying to go to your limits. I do not think that it would be the same in roller skiing as the consequences of falling on pavement can be very devastating. Any comments on that? Mind you people learn how to bike all the time which is also a balance sport for which falling is not a good idea.

You can find roller skiing in London (Hyde Park and Victoria Park) and Windsor here - rollerski.co.uk We have beginners courses and a regular training group. Iain

Disappointed if people being taught diagonal stride in taster sessions. It's difficult - I had a day long lesson at the end of which I had learned nothing and was totally discouraged. Once I got over it, I sourced another lesson, with Capital Adventure Wales. One morning concentrating on double poling got me to the point where I could develop. Beginners should be taught DP first - it allows more confidence as both feet stay on the ground, and other techniques can flow from it.

Depends on the style and strengths of the instructor. A lot of people on DP (especially ex-alpine skiers) fall off the back of the skis.
