Jenex Aero 100SR Skating RollerskiMon, Nov 28, 2005 - by Mike Muha This
is a nice rollerski for folks who want a little more stability than
found on the skinnier 22mm wide rollerskis, and who train mainly on
smooth pavement.The New Jenex Universal Rollerski Brake October 19, 2004 - By James Mannion  When I saw the new brake I was intrigued. It did look to be a bit of a Rube Goldberg
contraption on the website. Marty Hall gave it the OK on Jenex's website, so I decided to give it a try.

The Marwe 610 Skate RollerskiThu, Jul 14, 2005 - By Jim Howe
I have had my Marwe 610 rollerskis for about 3 weeks and I have skied about 150kms. I have found these freestyle rollerskis simulate the real thing better than other rollerskis I have used. |

| The Pro-Ski S3, One Year Later June 20, 2004 - By Mike Muha  I was skiing at Forbush Corner on
nicely groomed skating trails early last winter and thought to myself, "This feels just
like rollerskiing on my S3's!"

A Trio of Ski Skett Classic Rollerskis: The Nord CL, Nord TD, and the EL September 1, 2005 - By Ben Arians  I
have used a lot of classic rollerskis, and over the last several years
have found that the Ski Skett Nord classic models are light, flexible,
come in a variety of wheel speeds/durometers, and handle incredibly
well. |

| Ski Skett Shark Skate Rollerski August 14, 2004 - By Mike Muha  The
Shark rolls nicely, handles the bumps, tracks well, and has a ski-like speed. Snowplowing is passable. I particularly like the lightness of
these skis! Overall, the Shark is a great alternative for people skiing on
smooth to medium-rough pavement.

I
really love my F1s, and I think my form is better with the F1s than my previous skating
rollerskis. Here's why I decide to buy the Elpex F1...
If
you weigh less than 165, don't mind pumping up the wheels every time you ski, want wheels
that roll over just about anything, but don't need to ski on dirt roads, the 125 is a fine
choice.
To prevent tire and tube failures, Jenex recommends
pumping the tires up every time you ski, that the pressure must be 85 PSI, and that you not
weigh more than 165 lbs.
There's
quite a buzz about the Jenex V2 Aero
rollerski. I haven't had an opportunity to ski a pair yet, but I have seen them used and
talked to people who own them. Here's some background and a couple stories.
If
you have smooth pavement, like to go fast, or struggle with your V2 and V2-alternate, this
is the ski for you! The durable polyurethane wheels should keep to long term cost of
ownership to a minimum.
I
like the Pro-Ski C2 Classic Rollerski. It's better over the bumps than my current
rollerskis, has much better rain fenders, feels more stable, and allegedly has better wheel durability.
They could be a little lighter, but they'll do.
Because
the Pro-Ski S3 is a little slower than the Jenex Aero 150S but offers better stability,
almost equal ability to roll over obstacles on paved trails, fenders, and some speed control
on downhills via snowplowing, the S3 very closely matches what I look for in
a rollerski. And they're really fun to ski on!
