Dynaskate Roller Ski?
Doug's post about going to Marwe 610 roller skis out of frustration with
Jenex 125s tires got me thinking that the Dynaskate hasn't gotten a lot of attention. This roller skis is a hard wheel skating ski with suspension by way of springs that chosen based on skier's weight. Has anyone used them? http://www.dynasports.com/english/index.htm Gary Jacobson Rosendale, NY |

Dynaskate Roller Ski?
I purchased a pair this spring and they are outstanding, if not a little
pricey. I have them set up with Marwe wheels which are much more durable than my F1s. The shock absorption of the springs reduces the vibration on rough pavement (including fresh chipseal), they track extremely well. The price with bindings was about $650, but IMO well worth it. They are faster than the F1s or 125s, but with the good feel and tracking, downhills are not a problem. The FrontRunner "Gary Jacobson" wrote in message ...

Dynaskate Roller Ski?
Judging from that website these must be great skis. $650, though, is a
bit too much. The same damping effect should be achieved with aeros 150s. Gary, I once I am done with my PhD defense (in 4 weeks - hopefully), I'll see what I can do with me pair of ROLLKAs - I still think that's the only option if you want to go really off-trail on rollerskis.

The honey comb shaft of the 610 does an excellent job of damping the chipseal vibrations AFAI am concerned. Some do get a tickle on the bottom of their feet on the afton trail, but i use a beat up pair of fischer boots and the vibration does not bother me. Using the wider wheel marwe damps even more. Maybe its just my insensitive foot. Compared to my V2 920's aluminum shaft, the marwe's are positively cushy. (And the v2's aren't so bad either.) The shaft decambers to give a little on snow feel. It is more fun classicing on my new (used ) MArwe classic roller skis since I can work on flexing the ski to get a more explosive kick. I still cannot justify the pneumatics for the kind of trails we have around my house --- not necessary for the chip seal, the pneumatics are no good on an honest, soft gravel road as we find in cabin country, but a buddy of mine says they are great on some of our packed gravel trails like the Luce Line. But Rail beds are just too flat to drive far to RS. I'll rollerski the old 29th street tracks (rail to paved trail conversion) just because they are near my house and will get me through the lakes to Keniworth and beyond.
