So after a few small hick-ups I managed to put in an order for the roller ski. First problem was the eh... weight limit on roller skis ?
Yes, it's true apparently there is a weight limit on those roller thingies. Here how it went:
1st attempt:
Me: "Hey, I am Bjorn. What models do you have available for a 230 lb/105 kg skier ?"
Ski selling man: "We don't, they all have a limit of 200 lbs"
Me: "Oh, really what options do I have?"
Ski selling man: "Well, you can forego the warranty or loose some weight, fatty" (he didn't really say that, but I read his mind).
2nd attempt:
Me: "Hey, I am Bjorn. What models do you have available for a 230 lb/105 kg skier ?"
Another ski selling man: "Hmmmmm....."
Me: "(inside voice) Hey man do you really have to think that long !"
Long story short I ended up with real roller skis (made for skating), a pair of boots (made for summer) and some poles. So now I am all set, apart from that I have to wait until the boots arrive (mid May). I have normal feet which means my size sells like hot cakes (or iPads) hence there is no stock, just pre-ordering available,
