Roller Skiing, and Link to Every Currently Made Roller Ski ?

Not that I am necessarily training for next year, but I took a roll on a
recently acquired pair of Pro-ski Varios. Does anyone know if these are the
same as C-2 roller skis? I didn't like them very much. Cloddy feeling. The
V-2 Jenex 900 series seem more snow like to me, and are easier to control. I
like to register first impressions, and the C-2 (which I have messed around
with in years past) were not impressive. In time I'll probably get used to
them and like them, but I can't imagine why someone would choose them over
900 series. Maybe it's just that I've so much time on 920s.

Anyway, I think this list is the most comprehensive one I have ever seen:
http://www.skiroll.it/attrezzi/costruttori_skiroll.htm . Check out the
skirol site for what appears to be a classic race ski with a clutch wheel
near by to underfoot. Seems like there are more manufacturers than ever. If
there are companies and models (not just re-branded) you know about and that
are not here, let us know.

I think that the 30 and 50 km classic Nationals are in Fort Kent this
weekend, and there's still plenty of snow at my favorite ski joints within
three hours of here. But it's time to put my snow skis to sleep for the off
season.

Were these on there?

I see most Roller Ski sites are still suffering from the many words - tiny
pics virus of 90's internet...

Those that like Roller Skis will also be intrigued by :

and of course :
K2 Nordic, for which I can't find a manufacturer's site

These look like they have bicycle type breaks.

http://www.crossskiroller.de/

I've had that idea long ago, and I know a guy in Russia who made a
rollerski ski with caliper breaks. I don't read German though. I will
contact them to see if they can send me a brochure.

They also have a front wheel extender, like the Marwe. I couldn't find
any clear photos, just what's on the main page.

I've emailed them, let's see what they say

In this sport, what's with the tiny blurry pics but super-elaborate
pricelist to the detail of bolt washers? Engineers doing the marketing?

These K2 Nordic Inline skates intrigue me. Seems like they have rubber
wheels instead of urathane and resitance bearings to make them slower
than regular inlines. Has anybody tried these?

I know roller skis are a more ideal choice than inline skates, but
I've never been able to get comfortable on roller skis. To many bad
crashes I guess. These K2 nordic inlines might be worth a try.

I haven't use those but do inline skate with poles and two of Jenex's
Carbonics rubber wheels on each skate to slow things down. The speed
of the skates is slow enough that it's like fast snow, which is OK for
fitness training.

But I don't get the technique benefits of rollerskiing with them.

Do you think if it were slow enough, meaning you could stay on the
skate long enough to be more like skiing, it would work better?
