rollerskiing with a "Chariot"
Can you rollerski-skate (or double-pole) pulling a Chariot with a being inside? How much weight can you pull before the skating technique falls apart? Can you get bad habits from skating with one? How are uphills/downhils? Any comments would be appreciated.

See a lot of "wobble" back and forth? I would love hearing from those folks.

I didn't see anything of note, and I'm observant, but then I didn't have the waist belt wrapped around me. Gene |

There was a video years ago of Bill Koch rollerskating (on inline skates with skate-length poles) up a steep hill towing his then-teenage daughter on a bike behind him; he could then take advantage of her brakes on the descent by hanging onto the bike on the downhill. |

I wouldn't really have wanted to go up or down to big/steep/ or long hills... but in gently rolling terrain, it worked great! Good luck and have fun! (pump up the tires nice and firm!) |
