Rollerblade Coyotes

Has anyone used Rollerblade Coyotes for summer conditioning for
skiing? These are the skates that have three wheels with pneumatic
tires, similar to those on the V2 Aeros. Rollerblade no longer makes
these and although originally they were quite expensive, now they are
available at reasonable clearance prices. I know that inline skating
doesn't provide the best simulation of skating on skis, but I am at
best an intermediate fitness skier and thought these might be a few
way to condition some of the same muscles used in skiing.

I suggested to use wheels only for rollerski once. They should be compatable
fully. I think they are 6" wheels (150mm). Buying the whole skate w/6 wheels
is probably cheaper than buying 2x150mm Aero wheels.

As far as using them instead of rollerski I do not think so.

I let more experienced people have their say but darn things are so
high of the ground( must be 7")!

On many rollerskis the foot is just 2" high of the ground.

Intermediate skier should not experiment skiing on STILTS!
