I'm starting to look for some conditioning advice for next season and came across these :wink: They do ship internationally. I'm considering getting a set before I move to London in a few days

Why not wait until you arrive in London and then you can try them out with these people: http://www.rollerski.co.uk/

Never tried them myself, but I've read that a number of racers use them for summer fitness training.

Those are for cross-country ski training. I think regular inline skates are a lot more practical and will allow you to do more downhill ski specific drills, in addition to clocking up miles for general fitness.


Harold Harb makes these contraptions, but I don't see any worth while advantage over inline skates
with a good boot. I'd like to try some though for fun.
