I just checked JaneG's site and there is the rollerski WM from last year or
something. Crazy fast too. I have a **** load of work to do on this.

I spose you'd want to check out the speeds of rollerski races to see how
skis
really can do compared to inlines.

They seem darn fast! With maybe the small final diff due to the number of
wheels.

Is there a race rollerski rule restricting to 2 wheels? To a free heel?
That
all seems dumb. It seems like they skate like inliners when that's fastest
then
use poles up the big hills when that's fastest. If inlines are fastest
overall
then rollerskiers should be inlining...they shouldn't even bring poles
onto the
course. If I was fastest in a ski race without my poles I wouldn't bring
them.
How could there be a technical difference between SKIING and SKATING?
